Razer Lachesis

The Razer Lachesis mouse is the first of its kind; the very first third-generation optical mouse. The Razer Lachesis mouse is a 4,000 DPI mouse made by leading gaming mice and keyboards manufacturer Razer.

Razer, which was founded in 1998, has significantly contributed to the development of top-of-the-line mice including the Razer Copperhead and Razer Krait. Razer’s latest offering is a third-generation mouse which carries the name of another viper: Lachesis. Like when the animal strikes, the key characteristics of the Razer Lachesis mouse are precision and speed.

Razer Lachesis

I finally found a mouse that’s perfect for gaming. The Razer Lachesis is just what I need for my games. With all these online games I often hear some friends of mine complaining about the response delay of their mouse that sometimes make them lose battles. This mouse guarantees great precision, and most importantly a great response time. A mouse with a 4,000 DPI resolution is just insane! But what advantages does this resolution mean for gamers and other users? What sets the Razer Lachesis apart from its competitors?

As we all know our screens are made of pixels, which are thousands and thousands of tiny dots that make up the resolution. The DPI (short for Dot Per Inch) is the number of dots that a cursor can move for every inch on a screen. With a 4,000 DPI resolution, the Razer Lachesis can move 4,000 dots per inch on the screen. This is very advantageous if you want great precision.

This is great for gaming but also for computer graphics programs like Adobe PhotoShop, Corel Draw, etc. as some tasks require great precision. Using the Razer Lachesis would certainly be of great help in a lot of situations. This is like drawing using with a set of precision drawing instruments. Many agree to say that the Razer Lachesis mouse is great for all sorts of designers. The 4,000 DPI resolution also means that it can navigate throughout the screen faster. For gamers this means faster response time too.

Before I bought mine I read a few reviews on the web. All reviewers consider this mouse as one of the best gaming mice to date. Here is an abstract of one of these reviews: “The Lachesis has got a few opponents on the market currently, namely Logitech G9, Microsoft Sidewinder, Microsoft Habu, SteelSeries Ikari Laser, Razer Copperhead and Razer Diamondback 3G. I compared the new mouse with all of them and found the Lachesis to be the best laser mouse available today.” Pretty convincing! I ordered mine online right after reading this review.

The main attribute of the Lachesis is the Razer Precision 3G laser with a 4,000 DPI resolution. The mouse has nine buttons and a vertical scrolling wheel. The Razer Lachesis also has a 32KB integrated memory which allows you to save your favorite mouse settings. It also has a gold plated USB port with a 16-bit data path interface. The mouse has the following dimensions: 129 x 71 x 40 mm and a weight of 128 grams. The Razer Lachesis has a unique design which has a more flatten head when compared to other high-end gaming mice.

The top surface of the mouse is made of matte black rubberized coating and the bottom part of glossy black plastic. It also comes with a LED-based illumination that gives the mouse a great light effect. The bottom of the Razer Lachesis mouse is larger when compared to other mice, because it’s for both left-handed users and right-handed users. The mouse is designed ergonomically to give maximum comfort when you hold it. The mouse comes with its own software program with which you can program up to 9 buttons.

Let’s be honest here… this mouse is very likely to become a legendary mouse, because it’s the first third-generation mouse, and because it has a 4,000 DPI resolution. Razer Lachesis is now clearly ahead of its competitors. Their mice really stand out from the other gaming mice on the market. Whatever the game or application you’re using, the Razer Lachesis is guaranteed to give you a great experience. A great buy if you’re a gamer or simply need a high-performance mouse.
