Razer Salmosa Pro Reviews

The Salmosa offers a lot for an entry level gaming mouse. After finding the right settings in the included software, and kicking the mechanical settings up to higher levels gaming with the Salmosa was quite enjoyable. Movements were fluid, shots lined up easily and the Mouse seemed to fit our hands like it was custom designed for them. The finger grip design forced us to use good gaming habits during intensive battle scenes, and the non-slip Hyperesponse buttons were extremely responsive. The 7 foot long cord is a welcome feature for those that like to kick back and compute from a distance. On the down side we would have liked to see at least two programmable side buttons and an additional DPI setting of 1200. That might be a little much for a piece of equipment being marketed as an entry level gaming mouse but at the price listed on the Razerzone.com website ($39.95 USD) those features would have made it an easier decision when shopping for a gaming Mouse. The mechanically adjustable DPI and Polling made switching from gaming to desktop a no-brainer and kept us from having to load software to accomplish the mundane task. Momentary stuttering of the pointer was noticed while shifting DPI but that's not really an issue because your not going to be staring at the bottom of your mouse with the game running (Unless you just like getting crushed during game play).

"Entry level mouse" is perhaps the most fitting description of Razer's Salmosa. From the looks of it, the Salmosa looks like an ordinary mouse, but on closer inspection there are two dpi modes (up to 1800dpi) and three polling rate modes (up to 1KHz). Meeting the bare necessities with a fast sensor, fast polling rate, and clicky scroll wheel, the Salmosa it up to the task of meeting most gamers needs, just as long as these gamers don't have high expectations.

The Salmosa Gaming Mouse is another well-built Razer product, but it is not the best that we have seen from this manufacturer. The Salmosa will cost less than $40 USD, which is about half the price of a Lachesis, and as a result it has a slimmer set of features and its infrared sensor is not nearly as great as the other mice that are also more sensitive.
