Does this have good grip when your hand sweats? Or should I go for the original Razer Abyssus?

I found this version to be exactly identicle to theoriginal abyssus except the buttons are MUCH stiffer- painfully so. But the grip is the same as far as I can tell. Personally I prefer the original

I haven't had any issues with my hand sweating with this mouse. Has the hard plastic shell instead of the rubbery feel of other Razers.

I have never lost my grip on the mouse, but the shape has a sharp edge at the top that can dig into the side of your finger during long sessions.

For some reason, the grip gets better when I sweat. If your hands sweat during every gaming session, I'd recommend cleaning the mouse every week or so with a dry glasses cleaning cloth. As long as you don't sweat out a gallon of water through your hands + keep the mouse clean, you will not lose any grip.

Honestly, it's a mouse that really wants you to use palm grip, but is suitable for claw grip if that's what you're comfortable with. It's what I use most often.

To be completely honest. The mouse fits my hand perfectly. That's why I went with it. But everyone's hands are different so what may be a perfect fit for me may not be for you. I love the mouse and it is still working as amazing as when it came out of the box. I hope you give it a try because it is a great mouse.

Yeah, I used mine for dota 2 regularly. It's a full palm mouse but not nearly as large as the Razr mice tend to be.Also don't play LoL. Play dota

J. Bravo, I don't have a problem w/the mouse functions, even w/the neuropathy in my hands. Probably personal preferences. Yes, I think over a period of time--because I'm using the mouse from the defective suite--it will "loosen" or "get smoother" w/in a few months, if you use it often. Mice are not my problem, but I do like this one better than others. I hope this helps. Be safe.

Yes and yes. I was using the expert mouse before, which has very little resistance on the buttons. Now that I've adjusted to this one, I find the lack of resistance unsettling when I try to use the old one.

I LOVED my SteelSeries Qck pad but then discovered the CS-Hyde-C4-NGen-Mousepad-Copper (found on Amazon)....which I like even more. It's about as slick as a mousepad can get. I had more control with the SteelSeries pad, but as my wrist/fingers strengthened, the Ngen was the better choice for me. I bought the very thin version of the Ngen which costs quite a bit less than the one with cushioning, but by keeping it on top of the SteelSeries pad, I have the best of both worlds so to speak.

This is a massive gamepad and will work for your games but I believe using the right mouse is key, my razr rat 7 didn't work extremely well as I have to replace it

I've been using the DXT mouse for a year or two and I *really* like it. its more like holding a pen with your fingers. Very natural.

I'm not a sophisticated gaming user, but I have a fingertip grip and it works OK for me. Note that the side buttons (on the left side of the mouse) are probably better placed for a palm grip. As with any mouse, you're best off trying it in a store before buying if at all possible.

Not on the model I have. However it's comfortable, is tight enough for a good grip, yet is loose enough to change hands as needed. Hope that helps.

I own several mouse pads, 2 our steel series. I like the heavy best of all. I use the razer and the Logitech mouse. Not sure how it will work for you.

Yeah, I bought it for WoW and I can't play without it anymore. It's just too good. I might upgrade to the new one when it comes out though. The cross-pad is my only real complaint. I wish they had rounded the edges a little. Of course, now I have the right callouses to use the thing for hours so it doesn't bother me at all anymore.

I believe you are referring to a like claw grip. I do not use the claw grip, but if I did it would feel comfortable on this mouse, though for the claw grip it isn't as perfect as the Razer DeathAdder shape. The height on the rival is more towards the back instead of the middle like the DeathAdder so, depending on how big your hand is it can be a problem. Now as I say this, the rival is the BEST mouse out to date for FPS. Not only for it's sturdy build, sleek design, amazing software, but it's tracking is second to none. I have used logitech, razer, and steelseris for mouses. For the FPS edge this mouse give the most advantage for aiming. I believe you are referring to a like claw grip.

Logitech doesn't make a comparable gaming mouse. I have owned a lot of Razer products and have had little issues with any of my products. Sounds like you may had a issue with the connection due to simply put usage. I had one my old original Razer nagas had same issue which was from chair running over cord. Same issue happened for a logitec that I had. If your a extreme gamer like myself you might consider Razer epic. It is a cordless gaming mouse that can also plug in. Razer is only gaming company that has not just a full line up of gaming stuff but also special software to enhance the gaming expierence. Logitech doesn't make a comparable gaming mouse.

I think I understand what you are saying. I can say I have an xx large hand. I have a tight grip with that big hand and mine still works after at least 40 hours of game play.

Against the older Razer gamepads based on the Nostromo design, this is a MUCH better game pad. It is very comfortable and responsive. The software is a little more difficult to use, but its easy enough if take your time and experiment with the setup. I cannot comment on the newer Razer Orbweaver/Tartarus, as I have not used them. However, they still look similar to the Nostromo designed pads.
