Razer Abyssus Essential Gaming Mouse Review

2018/04/28

Geek News, News, Peripheral Review, Peripherals News, Reviews

The Razer Abyssus Essential gaming mouse is meant to provided increased performance over the Razer Abyssus V2 while also including Chroma lighting, all while still maintaining a low-end price point. This is a lot of capability to put in such a reasonably-priced form factor – so how does it work out? Did Razer complete their objectives? Read on to find out!

In terms of design, one would assume that the Razer Abyssus Essential to be a copy of the Razer Abyssus V2 gaming mouse, just with additional features. You’d be wrong, as the Razer Abyssus Essential features an all-new body style. It still is unmistakably Razer in design, but is slightly smaller than the Abyssus V2 in every dimension, and it is also 2 grams lighter. Its ergonomics have changed and, although it is still an ambidextrous design, the Abyssus Essential is slightly flatter, featuring a less acute grip angle. The overall experience of using the Abyssus Essential is great. It may be a smaller mouse (I usually prefer beefier models I can wield around the mouse pad), but I didn’t have any control issues at all while using it. Its construction is also typically Razer, meaning good, except that it does feature a non-braided cord.

Under the hood, the Razer Abyssus Essential beefs up the 5,000 DPI sensor of the V2 to a 7,000 DPI version. The optical sensor is precise and I had no issues with it in any of the games I played. However, there is one big thing missing from the Abyssus Essential that I miss – that of a dedicated DPI adjustment button. Since the dawn of the brand, Razer products have had on-the-fly DPI adjustment and, usually, there is a button that seems to be designed for this task. Speaking of buttons, this gaming mouse only has three – the left, middle, and right. This might be a factor in your purchasing decision depending on the kind of games you play. Gamers requiring more programmable buttons might look elsewhere.

Tech Specs

[mks_one_half]

  • True 7,200 DPI Optical Sensor
  • Ambidextrous Ergonomic Design
  • Powered by Razer Chroma™
  • Razer Synapse 3 (Beta) enabled
  • Cable length: 2.1 m / 6.89 ft

[/mks_one_half]

  • Approximate size: 114.7 mm / 4.51 in (Length) X 63 mm / 2.48 in (Width) X 37.3 mm / 1.46 in (Height)
  • Approximate weight (excluding cable): 78 g / 0.17 lbs

[/mks_one_half]

[/mks_col]

Of course, one of the Razer Abyssus Essential’s biggest selling points is its Chroma lighting system. In the Abyssus Essential, the Chroma lighting is enabled around the bottom perimeter of the mouse. It gives the mouse a snazzy underglow like you would see in a street racing car. It’s bright, crisp, and makes your dream of gaming in the world of TRON a reality. Using the Synapse software suite, you can adjust the lighting to any of 16.8 million colors – all which brilliantly shine and illuminate your mousing surface to some degree.

Overall, Razer has made a great “higher low-end” gaming mouse with the Abyssus Essential. Not only does the mouse feature a solid optical sensor and low cost, it also features that eye-catching Chroma underglow we have all come to know and love. However, you might look elsewhere if you need more programmable buttons. At $49.99, the Razer Abyssus Essential won’t break your bank account and is available now at various online retailers as well as the Razer website.

Dreadnought PC Open Beta Gets New Game Mode

2018/04/26

Geek News, News, PlayStation 4 News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

HOUSTON and BERLIN – April 26, 2018 – Six Foot and independent developer YAGER have released a new content update for the free Windows PC open beta of Dreadnought, the class-based spaceship action game, introducing a new, objective-based game mode: Conquest. Still in development but available now as a playable preview, Conquest pits two teams against one another, battling to capture and defend control points through careful positioning and dominance around the map.

Dreadnought’s unique spin on this classic game type is territory linking, which encourages higher level strategy for offensive and defensive fleet formations and tactics. Territory in Conquest isn’t fixed – it shifts in real time with the movements of players’ ships, as well as the control points they hold. Ships generate their own areas of influence, but when allies move close to one another or a control point, their territories will link and expand. But links can be severed if an enemy player intersects between linked points, flips a control point, or kills a linked player’s vessel, pushing the tide of battle back and forth with every moment.

Dreadnought puts players in the captain’s chair of massive capital ships on the front lines of competitive team-based battles across a variety of multiplayer game modes. There are more than 50 playable vessels to master, each customizable with an array of weapons, modules, coatings and decals. Five distinct ship classes, specializing in tactical roles like frontline assault, long-range bombardment, strategic support and more, offer captains unique powers to exploit the enemy team’s weaknesses and claim victory.

Dreadnought is in free open beta on Windows PC and will arrive on Steam later this fall. It is also free to download on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system. For the latest updates, visit www.dreadnought.com, and follow the game on Facebook, Twitter and Twitch.

Black Market Escape Rooms MURDERCO Review

2018/04/26
Jerry Paxton
Geek News, Halloween, Haunted Attraction Review, News, Reviews

Jon Cooke, who was previously a designer behind some very memorable Knott’s Scary Farm mazes, has branched out on his own to create Black Market Escape Rooms. Located at a warehouse in Upland, CA, Black Market Escape Rooms features more intense, R-rated escape room challenges. The first of these challenges is called MURDERCO. The premise behind MURDERCO is that you are new members of an exclusive organization, the aforementioned “MurderCo”. This organization’s members pay for the “honor” of seeing human beings masterfully-extinguished by various “artists” (read: Murderous people). Things, of course, don’t go as planned, and you will have an hour to escape the MURDERCO.

We walked up to the inconspicuous Upland, CA warehouse and were pleasantly surprised to find no bright signage, etc. Just a hand-written note on the door stating “Wait Outside!” was welcoming us to the location – the whole thing just looks creepy. Now, there is some branding on the warehouse – so you know you are in the right place, they just don’t go out of their way to draw attention to the facility. It all felt very underground and industrial – the way I had hoped it would. When our appointment time struck, the door opened and a menacing figure ordered us inside. In this initial waiting room, the rules of the experience were laid out to us, we were allowed to use a restroom, and we were instructed to put our affects into lockers for safe keeping. Then, our group was allowed to choose the “artist” (read: Murderer) that we would get to see kill someone. We chose an individual named the “Juggernaut”, and then proceeded inside…..

The escape room category is thoroughly saturated – at least, here in Southern California. So, it is vital that escape rooms offer something unique for people to grab onto – otherwise, escape rooms can get lost in the crowd. Thankfully, MURDERCO offers some seriously cool things that you won’t find in many other escape rooms. The biggest thing that separates Black Market Escape Rooms’ MURDERCO from the rest of the pack are its theatrical elements. Even the artists have their own characterizations and ours, Juggernaut, gave a great performance. Unlike most escape rooms, in MURDERCO you will interact with several NPCs (Non-Player Characters) throughout the course of your experience. Some of these NPCs might be good, many are most definitely evil. There is no “help line” in this experience, so I would recommend keeping your ears open as sometimes an NPC might drop a valuable hint to help keep you and your crew alive.

MURDERCO is touted as an R-rated experience, and persons under 18 years of age are not allowed into the experience. This is with good reason as, throughout the whole thing, you will be subjected to harsh language, some adult material, and some mild grabbing by the NPCs. This may sound daunting to those who avoid “extreme haunts” and the like, but don’t fret. While these things are included in the MURDERCO experience, it is more of a light smattering rather than a drenching in R-rated subject matter. It’s just enough to up the intensity while not so much that it detracts from the fun of the escape room puzzles.

MURDERCO’s escape room puzzle elements provided a decent challenge at times, although it is certainly not the most difficult escape room we have been through. We had nine minutes left on the clock when we escaped, and we are a group of pretty experienced escape room challengers. There is a maximum party size of eight people in any one game, although we found that amount was a bit too much. The rooms of the MURDERCO can be cramped at times and the puzzles localized at points so that it left a few people in our party of eight with nothing to do aside from watch in the periphery. I would say five people would be a perfect amount for the MURDERCO. Please note that there are some physical challenges and obstacles to overcome in the MURDERCO, so wear comfortable clothing.

Another big part of the Black Market Escape Rooms’ MURDERCO is its roots in the haunted attraction industry. These scary elements, from pop out scares by NPCs to gory props and imagery, all add to the feeling of dread. Will your group escape? What happens if you don’t? These scary elements spice up the experience and even veteran escape room challengers will see some stuff here that they never have before in other escape rooms. Even better – the gore work here is all dry, so you won’t have to worry about ruining your clothes after leaving. The overall set design and prop work in the MURDERCO is excellent and I loved the detail that went into each area of the experience. The folks at Black Market Escape Rooms should feel extremely proud of their accomplishment – MURDERCO is really something you shouldn’t miss.

We lived!

MURDERCO is part haunted house, part escape room, and part interactive theatre. It skillfully-blends these attributes into an incredibly-fun escape room experience that is most certainly geared towards adults. MURDERCO runs Thursdays through Sundays and tickets cost $45 dollars each. You can find out more about MURDERCO and Black Market Escape Rooms over at their official website.
