14 DAY TRIAL // As you've already been able to read on Softpedia, Razer has come up with yet another offering designed "by gamers, for gamers". This time around, we're talking about the Razer Salmosa, a peripheral designed especially for those users who want to benefit from the company' expertise in the area of gaming, but are not exactly ready to spend that high of an amount on such a device.
The first striking detail about the Salmosa is its size. As you can see from the photo, this thing is really, really tiny, and will fit just about any gamer's profile, whether we're talking about an avid gamer, in love with FPS titles, or the casual gamer, who plays on his or her computer only in their spare time. Moreover, it's also surprisingly light, which makes it a very good solution for users on the go.
Another very interesting thing worth mentioning is the rubbery feeling one gets when using the Salmosa. The mouse is very sleek, quite attractive, and will move on a very wide range of surfaces at very high speeds. The four zero-acoustic Ultraslick Teflon feet underneath the mouse lets the user glide the mouse smoothly and precisely.
Salmosa comes with three independently programmable Hyperesponse buttons. Its rubbery scroll wheel has 24 individual click positions to give maximum precision while performing the designated function: changing the weapons.
"The Razer Salmosa sets a precedent as being the lightest mouse in its class; it is perfect for gamers that require pure speed and agility. Our goal was to create an affordable, introductory gaming-grade mouse. With the Razer Salmosa, we have created a mouse that is ideal for gamers who have yet to experience the difference a gaming-grade mouse from Razer can offer to their game," said Robert Krakoff, president of Razer.
