Black as night and named after a deadly snake found in Korea, no serious gamers can simply ignore Salmosa. On first glance, the Salmosa appears to be aptly named, because the Salmosa pitviper happens to one of the smaller of the species and this new mouse is small and compact and seems almost designed for smaller Asian hands.
In addition to its compact size, Razer says that the Salmosa was specially designed for gamers who prefer to grip their mice using their finger-tips, which explains the somewhat awkward design. But Salmosa can be a bit too small for those with larger hands, and the odd shape of the Salmosa requires the users to adapt, if only a little.
