Razer announces the availability of its Ouroboros gaming mouse. This wireless peripheral features a 8200dpi 4G laser sensor and promises about 12 hours of continuous gaming on a single rechargeable AA battery. The Ouroboros is highly customizable, it offers adjustments for all hand sizes and different grip-styles, and features 11 programmable Hyperesponse buttons. The price is shockingly high though, a MSRP of $149.99 makes this one of the most expensive gaming mice on the market.
It's unknown when the mouse will be available in Europe.
Razer™, the world leader in high-performance gaming hardware, software and systems, announced the availability for sale in North America of the award-winning Razer Ouroboros gaming mouse.
The Razer Ouroboros features fully customizable ergonomics, allowing users to configure the mouse to comfortably fit their hands regardless of hand shape, size or grip-style.

The Razer Ouroboros also features a retractable back panel that can be set to any one of three positions, as well as four interchangeable side panels.
“The interest for the Razer Ouroboros has been so incredible that we’ve had to increase production far beyond what we had forecasted,” said Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder, CEO and creative director. “I ask for patience from Razer fans as we work to meet this insane demand and increase the availability throughout North America; the experience will be worth it. When creating the Razer Ouroboros, our goal was to design an all-in-one, ultra-performance product. We achieved that by giving gamers complete control to configure the mouse, from how it will perform in-game to its customizable form factor, ensuring it comfortably fits to specific users. The international media recognized its merits; now, our loyal fans in North America will get that opportunity as well.”
The Razer Ouroboros employs a cutting-edge 8200 dpi 4G laser sensor capable of accurately calibrating the mouse to any surface. This provides improved tracking responsiveness and allows users to customize lift-off tracking, creating precision control.
With wireless capabilities, the Razer Ouroboros features 1000 Hz Ultrapolling between mouse and computer, ensuring that a user’s actuations are instantly translated in a game. In its wireless mode, the Razer Ouroboros is powered by a single rechargeable AA battery capable of at least 12 hours of continuous gaming.
