What pad should be used for razer mouse abyssus?

Most optical mice work poorly on wood textures, but it should work just fine on any normal mousepad.
Check for dust or hairs on the sensor and make sure you have the latest firmware, it should perform just fine. Else I’d consider it defective and have it replaced.

just wanted to say that DA 3.5G is definitely not worth the money. bought it two days ago, its jittery as an epileptic guy at a party. tried it on light wooden and dark wooden desks, with and without a mat – it works for some time but every now and then starts jittering like the sensor goes haywire. the official response from razer is to put a blank piece of paper under it which actually fixes the problem. so i have a $60 gaming mouse that needs a sheet of paper to work…could have bought a $5 generic crap that would have worked like that
i have a copperhead that still tracks flawlessly on ANY surface but the scroll wheel broke couple of days ago (after years of punishment and traveling in a notebook bag) ergo the replacement.
is there a mouse that has a perfect traction from razer? one that has no z-axis issue or lousy optic sensor?

I no longer have the Deathadder 3.5G, still have the Abyssus.

Hi, I also heard about new firmware. Is this true? If it’s true I think, that DA 3.5G can be the best mouse ever (except shape).

@Arie
Have you got DA 3.5G or only Abyssus?

“Has anyone confirmed the fix for the jittering problem after installing the last firmware??
v.2.4.4″

It’s present at all DPIs.

I’ve heard reports that the firmware upgrades for the DA3500 fix some of the jitter issues, but there are no firmware upgrades for the Abyssus.

Arie, thanks for this post, do you still have an Abyssus handy?. I’m wondering if the jittering issue is present @ 450 dpi, since that’s the only resolution I would be interested in playing with, and I like its form factor.
