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 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.

CUSTOMIZE TAB
The Customize Tab is where you can modify the basic functionalities of your device such as button
assignments to suit your gaming needs. The changes made in this tab are automatically saved to
your current profile.
TOP VIEW
The Top View is where you can customize the 5 basic mouse buttons and the mouse wheel.
CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
Initially, each of the mouse buttons is set to Default. However, you may change the function of these
buttons by clicking the desired button to access the main dropdown menu.
KEYBOARD FUNCTION
This option enables you to change the mouse buttons into keyboard functions. To choose a
keyboard function, select Keyboard Function from the main dropdown menu and enter the key
you wish to use on the given field below. You may also include modifier keys such as Ctrl, Shift,
Alt or any of those combinations.
MOUSE FUNCTION
This option allows you to change the mouse buttons into other mouse functions. To choose a
mouse function, select Mouse Function from the main dropdown menu and an Assign Button
submenu will appear.
Listed below are the functions which you can choose from the Assign Button submenu:
Left Click - Perform a left mouse click using the assigned button.
Right Click - Perform a right mouse click using the assigned button.
Scroll Click - Activate the universal scrolling function.
Double Click - Perform a double left click using the assigned button.
Mouse Button 4 - Performs a “Backward” command for most internet browsers.
Mouse Button 5 - Performs a “Forward” command for most internet browsers.
Scroll Up - Perform a “Scroll Up” command using the assigned button.
Scroll Down - Perform a “Scroll Down” command using the assigned button.
SENSITIVITY
Sensitivity refers to how fast the mouse pointer can travel across the screen. When you select
the Sensitivity function from the dropdown menu, a submenu will appear which gives you
access to the following options:
Sensitivity Stage Up - Increase the current sensitivity by one stage. See the
Performance Tab to learn more about sensitivity stages.
Sensitivity Stage Down - Decrease the current sensitivity by one stage. See the
Performance Tab to learn more about sensitivity stages.
Sensitivity Clutch - Change to a predefined sensitivity as long as the designated
button is pressed. Releasing the button will return it to the
previous sensitivity.
On-The-Fly Sensitivity - Readily adjust the current sensitivity using the assigned
button. If On-The-Fly Sensitivity has been set, pressing the
designated button and moving the scroll wheel will produce a
bar on your screen which would indicate your current sensitiv-
ity level.
MACRO
A Macro is a pre-recorded sequence of keystrokes and button presses that is
executed with precise timing. By setting a button to Macro, you can conveniently
execute a chain of commands. When you select this option from the dropdown
menu, a submenu will appear which allows you to choose a pre-recorded macro
command. See the Macros Tab to learn more about creating Macro commands.

SWITCH PROFILE
The Switch Profile enables you to change profiles on the fly and immediately load all your
pre-configured settings. When you select Switch Profile from the dropdown menu, a submenu
will appear that will allow you to choose which profile to use. An on-screen display will
automatically appear whenever you switch profiles.
QUICK LAUNCH
The Launch Program allows you to run a program or application using the assigned button. When you
select Launch Program from the dropdown menu, a button will appear which allows you to search
for the specific program or application you want to use.
DISABLE
This option renders the assigned button unusable. Use Disable when you have no need for a
button or if a particular button interferes with your gaming.
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.
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
DPI)
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.
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)
POWER TAB
The Power Tab allows you to manage your device’s energy consumption when running on batteries.
You can set your device to enter sleep mode when it has been idle for a certain period of time. The
Power Tab also allows you to be notified when the device’s power is at a certain level.
11 | For Gamers. by Gamers.™www.razerzone.com | 12

MACROS TAB
The Macros Tab allows you to create a series of precise keystrokes and button presses. This tab
also allows you to have numerous macros and extremely long macro commands at your disposal.
The Macro section works similarly to Profile wherein you can rename a macro by typing on the field
below Macro Name. There are also other options available in the macro section such as creating a
new macro by clicking the “+” button, deleting the current macro by clicking the “” button or
duplicating the current macro by clicking the “ ” button.
To create a macro command, simply click the
“RECORD” button and all your keystrokes and button
presses will automatically register on the macro screen.
When you are done recording your macro commands,
click on the “” button to end the session.
The Macro section allows you to input the delay in-between
commands. In Record Delay the delay in-between commands
are registered as how it is entered. The Default Delay
uses a predefined time (expressed in seconds) as the
delay. And No Delay omits all the pauses in-between
keystrokes and button presses.
Note: You may use up to three decimal places when inserting
values on the seconds (sec) field.
Once you have recorded a macro, you may edit the commands you have entered by selecting each
command on the macro screen. Each keystroke or button press is arranged sequentially with the
first command shown at the top of the screen.
The “” button allows you to edit a particular command and the button enables you to delete a
command. The “”and “” buttons gives you the option to move the command up or down. The
INSERT button allows you to put in additional keystrokes, button presses or time delays either
before or after the selected command.
13 | For Gamers. by Gamers.™www.razerzone.com | 14

Once you have pressed the INSERT button, a new display window will appear beside the list of
macro commands. The dropdown menu on this window allows you to choose a keystroke or a delay
to be added in before or after the highlighted macro command.
You may add in a new set of macro commands by clicking the “RECORD”button on the keystroke
menu; or input time delays on the duration field using the delay menu.
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.
5. Using non-Razer approved batteries may harm the device and/or cause serious physical injury to
the user. Use only the official Razer batteries included with the device.
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.
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.
BATTERY WARNING
The Razer Ouroboros contains a Ni-MH rechargeable battery. In general, the life expectancy of
such batteries is dependent upon usage. If you suspect that the Ni-Mh rechargeable battery
inside the Razer Ouroboros may be drained (has a low charge), try charging it. If the battery does
not recharge after several attempts, please dispose the battery immediately.
Caution: Risk of explosion and personal injury if batteries are replaced by incorrect type. Do not
open, mutilate, or expose to conducting materials (metal), moisture, liquid, fire, or heat. Doing
so may cause batteries to leak or explode, resulting in personal injury. Dispose of spent, leaking
or damaged batteries according to manufacturer instructions and local laws. Do not use or
charge batteries if leaking, discolored, or deformed. Do not mix battery types.
Do not leave rechargeable batteries discharged or unused for extended periods. Battery life
varies with usage. When replacing, remove all spent batteries, and do not mix old batteries with
new. When device is not in used for extended periods, remove batteries to avoid leakage and
store away from children in a cool, dry place at room temperature.
