Lachesis Refresh Review
The original Razer Lachesis came with a lighting speed of 4000dpi back in 2007, although todays's standards that 4000dpi isn't such a big deal. Premiering with a new design and new sensor, the 3.5G laser sensor in the Refresh version supports up to 5600dpi. The Razer Lachesis gaming mouse also features nine programmable buttons with a 1000Hz ultrapolling for a 1ms response time.
Some physical differences of the Lachesis V2 compared to V1 is the use of non-stick silicon encasing ensuring that your hand won't get stuck onto the mouse after long gaming sessions. the logo also seem "brighter" when unlit, the scroll wheel also changed as to look like newer mouse models such as the Mamba and the Naga. Also adding to that is the cable is now braided and with the usual gold-plated USB on top.
By design, the Lachesis is also ambidextrous. So those left-handers out there can also enjoy the benefits of the Razer Lachesis.
Apart from the sensor the only other new feature is the ability to change the colour of the scroll wheel and logo. Whereas the old mouse was available with one fixed colour (you could buy it in Wraith Red, Phantom White or Banshee Blue) the new mouse allows you to choose from up to 16 million colours thanks to some new LED lighting.
The revised version of the Razer Lachesis Refresh, the good technology, the build quality and and the ergonomics couldn't be better. Left-handers will love this mouse.
