Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Razer Lachesis 4000 dpi Laser Gaming Mouse (Banshee Blue)
Customer Review: Razer Lachesis
Summary: 5 Stars
The razer lachesis is pleasant a reprieve from the last razer product I purchased (lycosa keyboard). The people on here either bought too nice of a mouse, or don't know how to read the manual. I am a high end gamer, that plays games at very high resolutions and am very satisfied with my purchase. This mouse is perfect if you have the right surface to use it on. You want a hard surface, preferably a razer mousepad. I have the razer exactmat and I love this mouse. If you have that, this mouse performs beautifully. The only thing that i could see causing a problem is the fact that the mouse is a little big for some people's hands. The mouse definetly takes some getting used to, but once you calibrate it right, and can fully utilize it, it is amazing. It is by far the best mouse i have ever owned. If you aren't an idiot and can calibrate the mouse right and accept the learning curve of how to use it, this is the mouse for you.
Pros:
Excellent smoothness in mouse strokes
Lighting on it is second to none
Many programmable buttons
on the fly sensitivity
Very precise
Cons:
Too sensitive if you don't have the sense to calibrate it
Price is very expensive
Don't believe all the morons that have reviewed this mouse, look at the review of the razer lycosa that I tore up, and believe me when i say this is a fine piece of equipment. I'm not just a razer "groupie"
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: Gaming mouse for advanced users.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned the Lachesis for almost a year now, and I have been very happy with it. It is extremely responsive, easy to program, and easy to adjust on the fly. There were two main features that interested me in this mouse. First, I was looking for a high DPI, highly responsive mouse with adjustable sensitivity. The Lachesis certainly meets those requirements. I'm using it on a high quality, rigid mouse pad, and while I have heard others complain about skipping, I have had no such issues with the mouse. Now, I do own a cat, so I have to make sure the mouse pad stays clean, pet hair on the pad that gets trapped under the mouse can cause issues, but that is not restricted to the Lachesis, and is an environmental issue, not a hardware issue.
Second, I wanted a mouse with programmable buttons, at least the two main buttons, two on each side, and the scroll wheel. The Lachesis, at nine programmable buttons, exceeded my expectations in this department, and I have found them to be extremely easy to program. Having used other programmable devices, I found this one easier to interface with than most.
Finally, ergonomically, I find the mouse to be comfortable and easy to use, so no issues there either. Bottom Line, this is the best mouse I have ever owned or used, and I am thrilled with it.
Customer Review: Excellent mouse WITH FIRMWARE UPDATED
Summary: 5 Stars
This mouse rocks, as far as I'm concerned. Very customizable, super high DPI, very light (if you like that), and excellent tracking. I'm using the eXactMat, speed side.) I'll admit, it's VERY sensitive to fibers and hair, things like that, but as long as you keep your mouse surface fairly clean you will not experience any problems.
Razer has released a firmware patch in the last few months and you'll need to upgrade to that to resolve any tracking issues. When I first bought this mouse I will admit, I was disappointed, but with the new firmware it's perfect. There is also the issue of the sticker on the bottom around the laser--Razer recommends removing this sticker to prevent fibers and hair from getting stuck in this spot which will drive you crazy. The other problem I had was the mouse not registering when restarting my computer (had to unplug and plug back in) but that's been fixed in the firmware update also.
All in all it's great. I am not even kidding, once you get used to this mouse, FPS games are a whole new experience. For a fast game like Nexuiz, a high DPI mouse like this is a must. I debated between this and the G9, and I'm glad I chose this though I would have liked the G9 as much.
Customer Review: The Left handed gaming solution
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this mouse to go alongside my Logitech G13 gamepad. I played with the idea of buying a new mouse, but my generic Logitech mouse was working pretty well and i didn't want to spend the money.
Being left handed i have an extremely hard time finding gaming gear to suit my needs. Razer was the only company i found that suited my apparently "rare condition". The Lachesis was the best ambidextrous mouse i could find, so i broke down and bought it.
i bought it and its quite easily the nicest piece of hardware i have ever touched. The only way i can describe this mouse is dead sexy. The look of it, the feel of it, everything about this mouse works just the way they said it would, and they didn't really exaggerate much about it either. This mouse actually did increase my gaming potency. My KDR in A.V.A went from 1.2 to 1.7 in only two weeks. The ability to adjust the DPI on the fly is quite easily the most spoiling feature of the mouse. turn down the in game mouse sensitivity, and turn up the DPI, and watch the smiles magically appear on your face.
bottom line. if you want a great mouse, and your left handed. get this mouse, you wont regret it
