Those who hated it couldn't wait to go back to using a regular office mouse, while those who liked it admitted that it took some getting used to.

Like all modern Razer mice, the Ouroboros makes use of the company's Synapse software, which lets users program profiles for the mouse, then upload them to the cloud for access from any computer. The mouse itself does not store any profiles. As befits a mouse of its complexity and price tag, the Ouroboros has a ton of settings with which to tinker. The Ouroboros offers 13 buttons, 12 of which are totally programmable the left mouse button is not. Users can set up individual profiles that link to specific games, although these profiles do not automatically reset after the game is closed unless you write a profile specifically for Windows Explorer.

By default, two buttons just beneath the scroll wheel can alter DPI on the fly, which is useful for games where you might need to scroll at different speeds — firing from the hip or lining up a shot via iron sights in a first-person shooter, for example.

One unusual feature of the Ouroboros is that it functions both as a wireless and a wired mouse. While gamers are inherently distrustful of wireless gaming mice, in our tests, we found no difference between the response rates of the wired and wireless states. Syncing the mouse with its docking port is simple, although the Ouroboros takes longer to start up and shut down than its instructions indicate.

The Ouroboros has a very limited liftoff range; lifting the mouse even slightly will cause it to cease functioning. The z-axis tracking is not perfect, either, as lifting it up and replacing it will cause the cursor to jolt.

While 12 programmable buttons may sound like a lot, in practice, it's more like nine. This is because the triggers when not locked and therefore useless require users to squeeze fairly hard.

This invariably sets off the two opposite side buttons; it makes more sense to disable those as well as the opposite trigger. The Ouroboros sports a feature set that offers you more options than you can handle — and then makes an excellent case for why less can be more.

The one area where the Ouroboros excels is during actual gameplay. We ran through a number of different games in a variety of genres, and found that the Ouroboros excelled on every count. Gunplay in "BioShock Infinite" was a cakewalk, and we found it incredibly useful to use the extra buttons for iron sights and adjusting sensitivity while aiming.
