Razer Lachesis

The Razer Lachesis gaming mouse will make your opponents flee in terror. With 9 programmable buttons and a 1ms response time, this things a beast of a mouse. It has the norm of 32KB of onboard memory so you can store as many as 5 gamer profiles on the thing.

At 4000 dpi (yea, we said 4000), this bad boy is the fastest tracking mouse on the market. You can adjust your dpi on the fly as with most mice, of course, and you can fine tune your adjustments with increments of 125 dpi. Also with many mice these days, it totes an ambidextrous design; meaning that its suitable for a righty or a lefty equally.

Ok, now that we got the impressive stats outta the way here's what we think. Its a decent mouse, but it has some problems. Some people may like the slimmed down design of the mouse, but we do not. Its just a little TOO slim to be comfortable. All 9 buttons are reachable enough, it just doesn't feel nice, that's all.

There also seems to be some issues with the tracking. Maybe 4000 dpi is just too overkill or something, because the tracking can be a bit erratic at times. Supposedly there's a firmware update to fix this, but thus far it hasn't done anything wonderous for us (though others have reported that it fixed all their woes). I've also read that you can pull off the plastic covering that is on the bottom of the mouse partially interrupting the laser, but that hasn't helped us either.

Basically what it seems to come down to is chance. Some people have reported that their mouse plays beautifully with no problems at all, makes their bed, and cooks them bacon and eggs in the morning. Ours, however, does none of these things, and even throws sticks of butter at us when we suggest breakfast.

This mouse currently only comes in "Banshee Blue" though 2 other colors are reported to be on the way.
