Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Razer Lachesis 4000 dpi Laser Gaming Mous--Banshee Blue
Customer Review: Great, but Razer has done better
Summary: 4 Stars
I upgraded to this mouse from my old Razer Copperhead mouse for the extra buttons.
And though this item specifies that it has HIGHER Dots per inch and reaction time (and a bunch of other cool fluff)
I must say I am disappointed that it could not match the Copperhead in any way (other than amount of buttons)
Also let me state that I am using the Razer's Exact Matt, the high quality mouse surface that is intended for ball or optical use.
Right now I am using Firmware 1.00 and Drivers 1.00
And with that firmware and driver version, I am experiencing a few glitches. which I am certain it can be solved with future updates.
1st problem, the optical area on the mouse is prone to picking up dirt and clutter, (not the eye its self but the area the eye looks through) and that causes disruptions in the usage.
2nd problem, it occasionally (once or twice a day) decides to move on its own, either up the screen 1/2 an inch, or down the screen 1/2 an inch.
3rd problem, the the button and macro setup program is Very glitchy.
I have not been able to program certain buttons to the Numberpad keys. the program displays that it is keyed into those buttons but when pressed it performs any number of different things.
But after spending quite a bit of time on it I was able to pick out some other keys that would work just as well as the numberpad keys.
In spite of all of these problems I still give it 4 stars because it is a very good mouse and worth the trouble for the 2 extra buttons in my humble opinion.
If you do not need those extra buttons, go with a Razer Copperhead.
or wait until better drivers and firmware comes out for this one.
Bottom line: Its good, but not 5 stars like a Razer Copperhead.
Customer Review: excelleng gaming mice
Summary: 5 Stars
I owned MX1000 from logitech (work/gaming). So i was little bit courious about this piese from Razer. The new replacement came in very good designed box. Easy to install, easy to use. Kind light. Surface is very good choosen, it's like very soft grip surface, no slides under the fingers. It is more designed for "claw" handling, but the "spider" is as well optionable.
Profiler is full of options (extra for "win" and "games"), speed (even for vertical and horizontal) overall speed, overall DPI. Assigning buttons, macro section. 5profiles, you can save profiles/configs separately.
extra profile switcher under the mouse.
During gaming i have to start on 2000 and after "Warm up" i switch to 4000, rapid "fragging" came instantly. THANKS guys.
There are few cons, it is very senstive, so any dust/hairs and other small think on mousepad, cause some really weird movemends. My middle finger used to be on mouse whole time. This one forced me to let finger lay on the small piece between the mouse1/mouse2 buttons or on rollbutton (which force me to handle mouse little bit more different, farer), other ergonomics are really excellent.
I am still learning to game with it, but it is definetely, the most precise mice on market.
With exactmat it is really uberfragging piece of weapon hardware :D GAMERS LOVE RAZER :D
Customer Review: Stunning!
Summary: 5 Stars
I never really thought the mouse made a difference--in fact I was quite satisfied with my Microsoft Trackball--until I got a Copperhead. This time around, without question I bought a Lachesis.
Good refinements in shape here: the head tapers perfectly to make accessing the side buttons easier while providing a good-sized spread for my largish hands to rest on the buttons. Sensitivity can be adjusted with dpi buttons in the middle, which make for a nice touch when you're on-the-fly switching from an FPS to an MMO, or just going from gun to scope to grappling hook, as I've recently done in Lost Planet. Razer mice are a bit pricey, but if you have the means, it's certainly worth the luxury. Go on--spoil yourself! :)
Customer Review: Fingertip control
Summary: 5 Stars
Ultra precise, this mouse has a lite feel to it when using, but being a fingertip control mouse that is a good thing. I was used to an older MS intellimouse explorer which is a palm mouse, took a little adjusting, like using a wrist pad for support. But it glides so smoothly that just using your fingertips is easy and feels right.
Like how you can change the cursor's up and down speed separate from the sideways speed. Setup profiles for each game and the mouse will change to that profile when that game starts.
Has more buttons than I have fingers...6 extra, 2 on each side and 2 right behind the wheel.
Being able to change the speed of the cursor on the fly in game is a great feature...
For the price: The quality is fine, software has every adjustment known to man. Windows Vista Ultimate had no problems installing it. But for the price, I'd expect it to last 3-5 years...of daily use. So at this point after one month, I'd give it two thumbs up.
Customer Review: Good mouse
Summary: 4 Stars
This mouse feels like a combination of the Razer Diamondback and the Microsoft Habu. It has the design of the Diamondback but the button and wheel style of the habu. For a medium sized hand, your fingertips rest right in the middle of the mouse buttons so it would be a very good mouse for an oversized hands.
One of the big problems with the Diamondback, despite its ambidextrous design was the two side buttons. It was too small for the ring finger to reach. This mouse with its Habu style buttons eliminates that problem. Eventhough it still takes alot of practice to use the 2 side buttons with your ring fingers, its alot less awkward than the Diamondback. I think that the smaller your hand is, the easier it is to use the side buttons with your ring finger and pinky.
The 4k dpi design seems really figidity. Now I don't know if its a bad eye or driver but sometimes my cursor will slide when trying to click on a mouse button and it happens spontaneously. (I thought it was dust at first but I cleaned it out thoroughly). Even at 2k dpi its definitely not as precise as the Diamondback.
Personally, I prefer the feel of the Habu. If you can do without the extra 2 mouse buttons and you are right handed I would try out the Habu before this. If it was as precise as the Diamondback, this would easily be my favorite mouse. I don't know if it is defective or not.
