Features and Design

The Razer Lachesis is an ambidextrous mouse, which is interesting since lefties are usually left out of the gaming mice party. Most of Razer’s mice are for right-handers, as are all of Logitech’s G-series mice.

The Lachesis is somewhat long, but flatter than most mice. It has a sort of “low rider” profile in our opinion where your hand rests on top of it, rather than having your palm grip it like a Logitech mouse.

It’s a nine-button mouse that is symmetrically designed. It features a left-and-right click button, two navigation buttons per side, a clickable mouse wheel and dpi adjustment buttons. It features on-the-fly dpi switching that is customizable and lets you establish five dpi increments.

The mouse has a two glowing parts – the mouse wheel and a pulsing Razer logo on top of the palm rest. Both can be disabled, and you can choose to buy a Lachesis with either a blue light or a white light.

As always, every button on the Lachesis can be customized. You can also create profiles that are paired to certain games, and set the profile to automatically become active when a pre-selected game starts. The maximum dpi is a scorching 4000, which is the highest available for any mouse (Logitech’s G9 Laser only goes up to 3200).

The Lachesis also has 32kb of onboard memory for storing up to five profiles, so you can have all your favorite settings handy if you move the mouse to a new PC (like at a LAN party, or in case you lose your PC to a house fire).
