Razer Lachesis 2gen Pro Reviews

The 5600 DPI version of the old Lachesis design brings only a few new things to the scene. The basic layout and functions of the mouse remains the same except for the newer better Philips sensor used. The small yet noticeable tweaks to the design are all quite neat and the mouse performs almost as good as the more expensive Agilent sensor powered mice we have tested. The new Philips sensor is great, not because it has a maximum DPI advantage over the old design of 1600 DPI, but because it is slightly less affected during lifts. Also the addition of a teflon skid pad around the sensor is a neat trick to reduce the amount of unwanted Z-axis tracking, and drag on cloth mats. The Lachesis is primarily a finger controlled mouse and the design should therefore be judged as such.

The Razer Lachesis is right up there with the best of them when it comes to functionality, the Razer configuration utility is super easy to use and needs no real explanation, but if you do find yourself stuck you can consult the included user guide. All nine buttons can be re-assigned to different functions, macro's are easily created and assigned, sensitivity is easily adjusted and of course you have the option to change the color of the Razer logo and the scroll wheel, the color configuration is rather basic and would benefit from more options to really bring it to life.
