Razer has launched its latest 4000dpi 3G Laser Sensor technology mouse, the Razer Lachesis. The Lachesis’ overall cosmetic is black as night, with a matted black surface and a glossed up finishing at its sides. Its scroll wheel and the Razer logo located at the palm rest area are still given the blue glow lighting effects just like that of the older Razer Deathadder. As a gaming mouse, it features nine buttons in total, the standard left/right buttons and scroll wheel up top, with an addition of two more buttons below the scroll wheel. By default, these two buttons dictate the operational sensitivity of the Lachesis, ranging from 500dpi to 4000dpi, one of the highest sensitivity settings supported on current gaming mice. The remaining four buttons are spread out evenly on both sides, though a little too close to the center. Ease of access to the side buttons is still passable, if your style is in placing your palm further down the mouse. Still, the side buttons favor the thumb, and most users we know rarely touch the two on the other side, some even disabling them. As usual, Razer’s software allows customization of every button on the mouse.
