30-Jan-2008 Review: Well-specified but uncomfortable
3 Comments
I confess that my view of the Lachesis was tainted long ago by a forum conversation I'd had with someone who'd bought one.

Given that I'm a big fan of Razer's DeathAdder for its supreme comfort and effortless accuracy, I was shocked to hear that Razer's new 4,000dpi laser rodent was well-specified but "uncomfortable".

And so it proves. With a humped rear, narrow waist and broad shoulders, it's smooth and accurate but reminiscent of a Gaultier perfume bottle - not ideal for pro mousing.

You do get switchable resolutions and no cursor leap when you lift off your mat to recentre, and it does feature onboard RAM for profiles, allowing you to plug in to other PCs and recall personalised button settings, but the older DeathAdder is simply more comfortable.

Of course, comfort is a personal thing and you may like it. Just try before you buy.

I've never been a big fan of razor mice. I had a diamondback once and it didn't impress at all.

The buttons on the side were poor quality and ergonomically it felt like it was trying to appeal to left handed people by its neither one thing or the other design.

I prefer logitech stuff. They have a nice ridge that you can rest your thumb on. Great when your hand gets sweaty on a long sesh. It keeps your mouse mat dry and running perfectly.

No good for left handers though. Shame Twisted Evil

The Deathadder is the best Razer mouse available, and it's a dream to use.
