Razer Ouroboros Gaming Mouse
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 mouse can be custom configured with an adjustable arched palm rest that allows a user to choose from various angles. 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."

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.

They announced this mouse so long time ago. I'm surprised that it hasn't been available before. The time before showing the product and letting people buy it is way too long as they just wait and wait, waste time on tracking updates and don't buy the products that are already available.
I haven't been waiting for Ouroboros, as I'm already pretty satisfied with my Mamba 2012 & Orochi 2013, but waiting for Roccat Ryos is driving me nuts.
i completely agree, i have a razer mamba 2012 as well and i still hold it in high regard. I had to RMA my first one over the profile switching buttons coming loose but the second one has been rock solid.
I did consider upgrading to this when it became available, but couldn't get over the ridiculous pricetag for next-to-no improvements on the mouse, you're just paying for the ability to have a more comfortable feeling mouse.
I would only consider the Ouroboros in the event that my mamba 2012 broke outside of its warranty period - and i still wanted a decent wireless mouse.

I didn“t knew this mouse was out of stock!
i have one, and is a great mouse!
unfortunetely the synapse 2 software from razar is total crap, full of bugs and lacks a lot of simple options.
but again, the mouse is great and seems well built!

It looks like from the first pic that they have add a finger rest on the front for your ring finger. (which it really needs) I find that my pinky slides into the crack from the palm reset being so far back. I miss my old mamba 2012. Nothing felt as to me better then it did and the weight was right. I just have problems with them the lazer would always drift up and once you had a small hair on the surface scanner it would just **** the bed. I would say the Ouroboros tracks better then the mamba like night and day. I miss the fact that the leds work as battery and what speed setting you picked. The onboard profiles saving saved you from having to have razer software running. just program the mouse save it and uninstall. Synapse 2 has a problem where the x y would off sync from themselves all the time. I have taken the mouse back over the counter three they all suffer from it. Oh well guess wait to see what they come out with next

I have not the best experience with Synapse software. It works fine with BlackWidow, but terribly with Orochi 2013 - it doesn't keep the settings and in order to keep button bindings I have to reapply the profile each time, which is so troublesome with laptop mouse.
So I do hope that it works with Ouroboros as well as with BlackWidow.
