The Razer Ouroboros ambidextrous wireless gaming mouse is a potent weapon packed
with enough lethal features to obliterate the competition.
Designed for gamers who prefer an ambidextrous design, it offers fully customizable
ergonomics and fit for every hand size, big or small, by allowing adjustment of the
arched palm rest and back. Two interchangeable side panels ensure you’re using your
preferred grip-style at all times. Game for hours on end while minimizing fatigue and
maximizing comfort, as your enemies rage-quit from exhaustion.
Razer’s highly advanced, award-winning 4G Dual Sensor System can be found in the
Razer Ouroboros. This gaming-grade mouse sensor combines a laser and an optical
sensor to enhance tracking precision and detect surfaces ten times faster than previous
generation sensors. Its all-new 8200 DPI clutch lets you temporarily reduce or increase
the DPI as you game, so you can go from high-sensitivity assault to low-sense sniper
then back to assault as you need. With the Razer Ouroboros, you’re getting the
absolute performance standard of pro-gamers today to match whatever game you play
– whether it is a first-person shooter, real-time strategy, or role-playing game.
The Razer Ouroboros also features an ultra-low 1ms latency wireless play that is as
responsive and as precise as it is when it is corded. You’re as free to swipe and destroy
as your play style dictates.
With this phenomenal, all-in-one, juggernaut of a gaming mouse, achieving victorious
gaming is easy.

CHARGING YOUR RAZER OUROBOROS
For best results, please charge the battery fully the first time you use the Razer
Ouroboros. A depleted battery will be fully charged in about 4 hours. The Razer
Ouroboros requires a USB connection that is able to supply sufficient power during
battery charging process. The battery charging process of the Razer Ouroboros may be
affected if connected to a non-powered USB hub or non-powered USB ports found on
certain keyboards and other peripherals. When not using your Razer Ouroboros’s
battery for more than 30 days, be sure to store the battery in a fully charged state. For
extended periods of inactivity we recommend removing the charged battery from the
mouse. This will prevent damage to the battery due to an overly discharged state. If the
mouse has not been used for an extended period, the battery might need to be
recharged before usage.

SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE
SAFETY GUIDELINES
In order to achieve maximum safety while using your Razer Ouroboros, we suggest that
you adopt the following guidelines:
1. Avoid looking directly at the tracking beam of your mouse or pointing the beam
in anyone else’s eye. Note that the tracking beam is NOT visible to the naked
human eye and is set on an Always-On mode.
2. Should you have trouble operating the device properly and troubleshooting does
not work, unplug the device and contact the Razer hotline or go to
www.razersupport.com for support. Do not attempt to service or fix the device
yourself at any time.
3. Do not take apart the device (doing so will void your warranty) and do not
attempt to operate it under abnormal current loads.
4. Keep the device away from liquid, humidity or moisture. Operate the device only
within the specific temperature range of 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F). Should the
temperature exceed this range, unplug and switch off the device in order to let
the temperature stabilize to an optimal level.
COMFORT
Research has shown that long periods of repetitive motion, improper positioning of
your computer peripherals, incorrect body position, and poor habits may be associated
with physical discomfort and injury to nerves, tendons, and muscles. Below are some
guidelines to avoid injury and ensure optimum comfort while using your Razer
Ouroboros.
1. Position your keyboard and monitor directly in front of you with your mouse
next to it. Place your elbows next to your side, not too far away and your mouse
within easy reach.
37 | razer™
2. Adjust the height of your chair and table so that the keyboard and mouse are at
or below elbow height.
3. Keep your feet well supported, posture straight and your shoulders relaxed.
4. During gameplay, relax your wrist and keep it straight. If you do the same tasks
with your hands repeatedly, try not to bend, extend or twist your hands for long
periods.
5. Do not rest your wrists on hard surfaces for long periods. Use a wrist rest to
support your wrist while gaming.
6. Customize the buttons on your mouse to suit your style of gaming in order to
minimize repetitive or awkward motions while gaming.
7. Make sure that your mouse fits comfortably in your hands.
8. Do not sit in the same position all day. Get up, step away from your desk and do
exercises to stretch your arms, shoulders, neck and legs.
9. If you should experience any physical discomfort while using your mouse, such as
pain, numbness, or tingling in your hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck or
back, please consult a qualified medical doctor immediately.
MAINTENANCE AND USE
The Razer Ouroboros requires minimum maintenance to keep it in optimum condition.
Once a month we recommend you unplug the device from the USB port and clean it
using a soft cloth or cotton swab with a bit of warm water to prevent dirt buildup. Do
not use soap or harsh cleaning agents.
