Price and Details of Razer Lachesis Mouse

The glam weapon

The new Lachesisi is the latest slithering creepy-crawly to come out of Razer’s wildlife sanctuary straight intoour test center.The mouse features an ambidextrous design with a pretty typical Razer style look and feel except for the customisable LED insignia which can glow in three different user selected colours unlike the plain old blue found on earlier Razer mice. For in-game performance we tested it on three typical surfaces – table top, an entry level gaming mat, and an old Razer Pro gaming pad (which is a high friction surface). The mouse performs surprisingly well on table top and low friction surfaces. However if the weight of your palm is not completely pressing down towards the back of the mouse, you will most certainly notice a slight wobble at the front while clicking. The DeathAdder on the other hand feels more ground hugging. In terms of ergonomics, gamers who prefer a claw grip will like the Lachesis for its thinner form factor. The texture of the mouse is perfect for extended hours of gameplay. For non gaming usage you can change sensitivity (dpi) on the fly via two buttons located below the scroll wheel. The default dpi jumps are customisable via the stages option in the driver. The device features a really long sheathed wire which is a very good idea. At a price point of RS. 4,599, it certainly is a lot to pay for an ambidextrous mouse if you’re a righty. The Lachesis is certainly a glam weapon with its customisable buttons and LED, but perhaps the Death Adder or Imperator might be more practical purchases.
