Razer Salmosa

Razer Salmosa Gaming Mouse

When I hear the words “gaming mouse”, two thoughts come to mind. “Ooh, that’s interesting,” is followed swiftly by “wonder how much they’re gonna pillage my wallet for this.” Gaming mice have traditionally been expensive: companies like Razer, Logitech and even Microsoft have been engaging in a perpetual arms race to see who can cram more features into their latest offering. Sometimes, though, you don’t want 15 different sensitivity settings, and 42 buttons with 7 macros a piece bound to them. Sometimes, you just want a good, solid mouse with a great sensor, responsive buttons, and as little set-up fuss as possible. Razer has worked to answer that need, and the result of their efforts is the Salmosa, which I’ll be looking at today. Razer has, in recent years, been putting out a broad range of computer accessories, all with a gaming focus. Their core expertise, though, is in computer mice. From their first breakout hit in 1999, the Boomslang, Razer has consistently raised the bar with their line of Gaming Grade mice. They were the first to introduce a 1600dpi optical mouse, the Diamondback, and the first to introduce a mouse with onboard profile memory, the Copperhead.
