Small, ambidextrous mouse with light buttons and an optical sensor, now with a DPI button. I had some issues with the Abyssus 2014, mainly that it was temperamental with spinning out. Thankfully this new Abyssus didn't spin out on me during game, however, I can make it spin out if I really try. When they mentioned 5,000 DPI, we assumed it would be the 3310. Apparently it's a 3325 or 3329. It's a decent sensor, but not sure what its advantage is over the 3310, considering it doesn't have as good a max tra

If you still have warranty - RMA it, if not you'll need to disassemble it and check the scroll contact with scroll wheel as @Sye_The-Vie mentioned. If it's ok, the switch may be faulty, but it's farily easy and cheap to replace it [needs some soldering skills].
Shipping later this month, the upcoming Abyssus V2 builds on the original’s foundation by utilizing an improved form factor designed for playing with claw, palm, or fingertip grip styles using a left or right hand. That’s right: This mouse isn’t just for right-handed gamers, which is good news for those of us who are typically left out when it comes to cool new PC gaming mice.
The upcoming mouse will pack a “true” 5,000 DPI optical sensor for better responsiveness and sensitivity. The specifications add to this, showing that mouse will communicate your actions back to the desktop or laptop at 1,000Hz [ultrapolling], offer 30g of acceleration, and a maximum tracking speed of 100 inches per second [IPS]. There’s a dedicated button to adjust the sensor’s DPI sensitivity in five customizable stages.
As for other buttons, there are only four that can be programmed through the company’s free Razer Synapse software. The buttons are based on the company’s Hyperesponse switches promising a lifespan of 20 million clicks. The two main buttons sport a contoured groove design that’s backed by in-mould textured, rubberized grips mounted on each side of the device for optimized lift-off and swiping gameplay.
Finally, the upcoming mouse will feature Razer’s iconic reptile logo and a mouse wheel that lights up your PC gaming in three colors: green, blue, and light blue. Users can choose to illuminate one “static” color, cycle through two selected colors in a breathing effect, or throw in the third color using the same effect.
Given this is a bang-for-your-buck type of gaming mouse, there’s no other bells and whistles to report on. The device will measure 4.6 [L] x 2.5 [W] x 1.5 [H] inches and sport a plastic tail of unknown length. Given this is Razer’s baby, expect a generous length for PC gamers who need lots of room for their twitch skills.
Again, Razer doesn’t say exactly when the Abyssus V2 ships this month, but it will be made available both on Razer’s website and Amazon when the device becomes available. However, it can be pre-ordered now through Razer for a mere $50.
UPDATE: As a clarification, the Abyssus V2 is a three-button mouse with buttons on the left click, right click, and the scroll wheel.

Players will already be swimming in content when The Division 2 launches on March 15, but Ubisoft is sweetening the pot for PC users. Those who pre-order a digital copy of The Division 2 from Ubisoft or the Epic Games store will receive a free game as well.
You'll get to pick one of three options: Watch Dogs 2, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands, or Far Cry Primal. While none of those are exactly new each is at least two years old they are major AAA games from some of Ubisoft's most popular franchises. Plus, it's free. You're buying The Division 2 anyway, right?

Foamstars is soapy fun … when I can see what’s happening in it
There's a new multiplayer game in Town: Foamstars. Square Enix's latest is a riff on Splatoon that trades in ink for suds. I went into it expecting a quirky little arena shooter that would give me a weekend or two of fun before running out of steam as its live-service model began to rear its head. What I wasn't expecting was a mountain of legibility problems that made it hard for me to tell what I was doing.
The basic idea of Foamstars was always centered around blasting both the arena and opponents with foam in a neon-tinted style reminiscent of Hatsune Miku. While there's fun to be had in its version of ink-based Splatoon shooting, Foamstars can be an overwhelming explosion of shapes and colors that soaks up all the fun. Avoid getting into eyes My first match in Foamstars had the unintentional effect of perfectly replicating what it feels like to get real foam in my eyes. Everything was bright, irritating, and obscured. The only reason I could tell what was happening out the gate was because all players are given an outline in their team's respective color, as well as an arrow above their heads to let them know what direction to shoot.

The best Far Cry games, ranked
A series like Far Cry is rather unique within the industry. There are very few other FPS franchises that completely swap out characters and settings between every major installment, but all still feel like a cohesive whole. Some are more different than others, but the formula of an open-world shooter has proven a strong enough foundation to build one of the biggest series in Ubisoft history. From its start in 2004 until now, we've had plenty of numbered and spin-off entries to shoot and explore, but which holds up as the best? Let's review the main Far Cry series and decide which ones are the best and which should be left behind.
