The Conclusion
The Razer Lachesis is a great mouse and I highly enjoyed using it at home. I have also taken it to work and played around with the on-board stored profiles and found the settings changed easily and were actually useful in an office environment. People at work were also interested in the style and design and found that the mouse glided over the surface of my desk smoothly and effortlessly, even wihtout a high end mouse mat. However, due to the soft teflon feet, it is recommended to invest in a good gaming mat if you’re going to use this mouse long term.
It might take a bit of time to get used to the shape and you might also accidentally click on the side mouse buttons when first moving it a round. Eventually you will get used to the design and find it fits your hand quite nice or at least it did for me. Being able to change the DPI settings on the fly while in-game is definitely a great feature and helps you increase your frag count. Being able to go from a low DPI (125) setting to a staggering 4000 DPI allows for one to move a character 180 degrees with very little mouse movement or going from high to low allows for that more precise sniper shot without weird mouse jerks.
The utility software that allows you to configure your Razer Lachesis mouse is easy to understand and use. Being able to change assigned actions of the buttons also adds great value and functionality over a standard mouse. If you leave it enabled, the software will display on-screen what profile you have currently switched to, which is great for when you can’t remember which profile does what. This is useful especially if you name them and assign them to applications by name.
In the end I am very glad I have this mouse in my arsenal of computer equipment, especially since I do like to play the occasional game that can utilize the on the fly DPI setting changes such as FPS type games. The overall feel of the Razer Lachesis might take some time to get used to but in the end you should find it fits nicer than regular mice and gives you an added edge when at a LAN game or when playing against people online. I would definitely recommend the Razer Lachesis mouse to anyone who plays fast-paced games and wants to beat their opponent with less effort. Bringing death was never easier.
