The Razer Lachesis gaming mouse is a very good gaming peripheral, but not everyone will fall in love with it. The mouse has a ton of buttons and has looks that will make you the envy of those without a proper gaming mouse.
The idea of onboard memory is a good one… meaning that you can program the Lachesis with 5 different profiles and use them immediately on any computer without installing any drivers. In practical use, this is rather pointless, because you must still install the software on any new computer for the mouse to act correctly.
The symmetrical design is good news for lefties, as the Lachesis is one of the only gaming mice they can use. Unfortunately, you have to hold the mouse in a “symmetrical” way, else you lose control while reaching for the plethora of buttons. Either way, holding the mouse is going to feel odd, which could be a good thing if you’re fed up with all other mice.
There are some major usability issues with this mouse, however. There is no way to tell your current DPI or profile just by looking at the mouse. It would have been nice if Razer directed their attention to a visual indicator on the mouse rather than putting effort into a pulsing Snake Logo.
The Razer Lachesis doesn’t disappoint in the performance department. The buttons are very responsive, and the high granularity of DPI settings will satisfy any control freak.

I'd love to see and try this one, though I have seen similar cool gaming gadgets at [link removed].
Nice try, Christopher. If that company wants their products promoted, then they can submit some samples for review. I contacted them at PAX and they blew me off.
