Razer Lachesis Review
The Updated Lachesis
The Razer Lachesis appeared on the gaming scene in 2007 as a high performance, ambidextrous mouse that competed with some of the best on the market. Even though it is an ambidextrous design, using either hand still feels good but not quite as solid as say a design for a right hand. With that said, Razer has taken this design and updated what needed updating and left the basic design alone.
When this mouse first appeared it came with a 4000 dpi Precision 3G laser sensor. It also was capable of 1 KHz polling and 32 Kb of Synapse on board memory among other things. Very impressive for a design from 2007.
Now in 2010, Razer has reintroduced the Lachesis as the same form and fit but upgraded some of the functions. The biggest change here is the upgraded laser sensor from a 4000 dpi to a 5600 dpi 3G laser sensor. While most people will never play at this sensitivity some gamers will make use of it I'm sure. Another change is the ability, after downloading the set up software, to change the color that the mouse has on the scroll wheel and the logo on the top of the mouse. With this custom color lighting it is possible to change 16 million shades of color to match any color on your keyboard or anything other hardware you might have.

The Lachesis has not changed its form and that is a good thing as this is a very good ergonomic mouse. It has a high arched back and grooves on the buttons that make it very comfortable and is very suited to a person with medium to large hands as this is a larger mouse than the average Razer mouse.
The Lachesis is a great gaming mouse with exceptional pointing characteristics. The mouse has a nice weight to it, not to light or heavy. Some more nice features are the usual 5 sensitivity settings that are on other Razer mice. You can store these settings in the mouse so as to take the mouse with you to another computer and you won't lose your settings. On The Fly sensitivity adjustments are also supported to tweak your dpi levels while in game by using a button and the scroll wheel.
Another thing to note about the Lachesis is the buttons. The left and right main buttons have a solid clicking feature that feels solid when using. There are also two buttons on each side to facilitate a left or right hand use. Two more buttons are on top behind the scroll wheel and have a good solid clicky feel. The scroll wheel on this mouse does not have a tilt function though.
When you consider the laser engine, polling speed capability, form factor, great software support and a great fit for left and right hand use along with Seven-foot, lightweight, non-tangle cord that has a gold plated USB connector, 60-100 in/sec and sensitivity adjustments in 125 dpi increments this is a very solid gaming mouse indeed.
