Razer Salmosa

The Razer Salmosa is a great entry into the gaming world, particularly if you've never had a use for more than three mouse buttons and are on a budget.

Responsive ; Adjustable DPI and USB polling rate ; Comfortable ; Ambidextrous

Drivers not supplied on CD ; DPI and polling rate switches are on the bottom of the mouse

The Razer Salmosa is a great budget entry into the gaming world, particularly if you've never had a use for more than three mouse buttons.

Razer Salmosa Gaming Mouse

Razer has always used interesting names for their gaming peripherals. We've even reviewed a few of them. However the name for their latest gaming mouse, when pronounced, sounds more like ...

Excellent price point ; Good construction ; Superbly accurate 3G infrared sensor ; Many adjustable features

Small for some users ; No additional buttons ; DPI and polling switches located on bottom
