    I don't have any of these but i can say from my experience, Razer is a way better, thought this model of Razer doesn't have this much buttons. If this is for gaming you should look for higher end Razer.

    I own a Razer Imperator 4G. Mostly depends on your grip type, but i'd say that after the couple of days to train with the new "handle" I find it quite confortable and the price isn't so high.
    The Abyssus is a good mouse but IMHO lacks some buttons

    Yea I know Razer has a better rep, but I also like the fact that the Xornet is a little smaller and has a few more buttons. But I only usually play RTS and shooters so I don't really need too many buttons. This is gonna be a tough choice :(

    I've had a Razer Abyssus for about a year now, it still works and looks great. Definitely worth the $32 I paid for it.

    I have both, but my Abyssus is from the Cyclosa bundle, so it is slightly worse. It really boils down to your grip. The Xornet requires a claw-style grip, while the Abyssus does not, although my hand size means I have to do a half-claw style. Also, I think the Abyssus is a bit more expensive. Personally, I prefer the Xornet. The support for the palm I find better, and it has a rubber grip the Abyssus lacks. It also has a resting place for the ring finger.

    In conclusion, buy the Xornet. One guy's review I read even said he used it over the SteelSeries Sensei.

    Edit: aww sh*t this is an old post...

    Hmmm. Interesting if old thread. I'd go for a Spawn if you can. But Xornet not necessarily worse if it's more of a general purpose mouse.

    Posted from a PC with a Xornet
