Performance Tab

The Performance Tab allows you to enhance the speed and precision of your mouse pointer. Similar to the Customize Tab, the changes made here are automatically saved to your current profile.

Listed below are the performance options and their descriptions.

Sensitivity

Sensitivity pertains to how much effort is needed to move the mouse pointer in any direction. The higher the sensitivity, the more responsive the mouse will be.

(Recommended setting: 1600 – 1800)

15 | razer™

Enable X-Y Sensitivity

By default, the X-axis (horizontal) and Y-axis (vertical) use the same sensitivity values.

However, you may set different sensitivity values to each of the axes by selecting the

ENABLE X-Y SENSITIVITY option.

Configure Sensitivity Stages

A sensitivity stage is a preset sensitivity value. You can create up to 5 different sensitivity stages which you can cycle through using the sensitivity stage up/down buttons. You may use the ENABLE X-Y SENSITIVITY concurrently with this option. Note that whenever you configure a sensitivity stage, your current sensitivity will match that setting.

Acceleration

Acceleration increases the cursor’s movement speed depending on how quickly you move the mouse. The higher the value, the faster the mouse accelerates.

(Recommended settings: Windows 0, Mac 5)

Polling Rate

The higher the polling rate, the more often the computer receives information about the status of your mouse, thus increasing the mouse pointer’s reaction time. You can switch between 125Hz (8ms), 500Hz (2ms) and 1000Hz (1ms) by selecting your desired polling rate on the dropdown menu. (Recommended setting: 500Hz – 1000Hz)

7. SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

SAFETY GUIDELINES

In order to achieve maximum safety while using your Razer Abyssus, 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 Abyssus.

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.

2. Adjust the height of your chair and table so that the keyboard and mouse are at or below elbow height.

23 | razer™

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 Abyssus 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.

To get the ultimate experience in movement and control, we highly recommend a premium mousing surface from Razer. Some surfaces will cause undue wear on the feet requiring constant care and eventual replacement.

Do note that the sensor of the Razer Abyssus is ‘tuned’ or optimized especially for the

Razer mousing surfaces. This means that the sensor has been tested extensively to confirm that the Razer Abyssus reads and tracks best on Razer mousing surfaces.
