Razer Lachesis Gaming Mouse Phantom White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I would consider myself a hardware junkie and a heavy gamer.That said this is one of the better mouses I've used in years.Before I get into the positives if you do not prefer a flat mouse profile this mouse won't be for you.Look into the Microsoft Sidwinder or Logitech G5 or G9 as those offer a higher profile to fit your hand if that is your preference.

The type of games I mainly play are shooters (COD4 lately), Word of Warcraft, and a few RTS'ers.In shooters the mouse is great.Tracking is spot on and quick.The sensor stops tracking at a lower height than most mice so if you are the type that picks up and moves the mouse around a lot, this is your mouse.The scroll wheel has a solid click while scrolling so it makes it easy to select weapons.There is no side clicking on the wheel just your old school wheel.I did find the click-down on the wheel sensitive and hit it accidently a few times.

The left and right click buttons are a nice solid click.More to like a logitech MX5xx series or G5 series mouse rather than a super sensitive click like the MS mice can be.The side buttons are what make the mice for me.Using the Razer software you can program all 4 side buttons (2 on each side) easily.Button 5 and 6 plus macros can be assigned to those 4 in any order.This is a great thing for games like WoW if you need lots of hot keys since this adds two more possibilities on the right side of the mouse.However it takes a bit of dexterity to get used to using the right side buttons.

The software is quite handy.I never have been a fan of software programs that are put out for mice, but this one is very clean and doesn't seem to bog the system down much.Lots of options to customize here and you can have several profiles set.To switch through them there's a button on the bottom of the mouse that cycles through them or you can switch through in the program.The pulsing logo can be turned on or off as well as the light on the wheel.This is great for bedroom gamers that want to get some sleep.Overall this is a great gamer's mouse with lots of options and buttons to go along with it.

Razer DeathAdder 3G Infrared Gaming Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A gaming mouse (high dpi laser and wired rather than wireless) has a quickness and consistency that wireless laser mice just cannot match. I have owned a number of gaming mice over the years and while I have liked them all, I think this one is the very best so far.

The most important issue here is the shape of the mouse. The top (left and right) buttons of this mouse are a continuous part of its top surface rather than being separate buttons like on the Diamondhead or the Copperhead. For me, this is important because it makes the mouse feel much smoother when my hand rests on it. As a result, my hand rests more naturally on this mouse than any other.

Another important issue is the carefully thought-out shape of the basic right and left buttons on this mouse. Note that these buttons have a subtle up-and-out curvature that allows one's fingers to rest more naturally and to click faster and with greater precision than with the uniformly downwardly curved (or convex) buttons on mice made by manufacturers like, say, Logitech.

Previously, I liked the shape of the Microsoft 6000 gaming mouse (not to be confused with the ubiquitous Microsoft 6000 wireless mouse) the best. But the shape of this mouse is clearly better.

Many gamers do like the Logitech mice, but I have always felt that the curvature and shape the G5 and MX518 mice is a bit off. The problem is that the fingers do not rest as naturally relaxed and yet poised on a downwardly curved surface as they do on a surface with a slight and subtle upturn at the front edge of the basic right and left buttons.

Speed and control:
This mouse is extremely precise and it is easy to adjust its sensitivity with the proper drivers.

Vista Drivers must be downloaded:
My operating system is Vista Premium Home. While the print on the box that the mouse came in proclaimed that this mouse was Vista ready, it turned out that there were no Vista drivers on the CD ,so I had to download drivers from the manufacturers support site. This proved fairly easy though so I do not consider this a serious issue.

Adjustable Lights and the Look:
I do not like the purple lights on the wheel and on the logo that are always shown in the pictures of the Razer mice. Accordingly, I was delighted to realize that turning these lights off is a simple matter of clicking on two buttons in the driver setting panel. Once the lights have been turned off the mouse looks much plainer (and much better too in my opinion).

Razer Imperator Ergonomic Laser Gaming Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I previously had a Deathadder 1800dpi mouse for a few years, and felt it was time for a upgrade. I was so used to the deathadder that I thought about getttng a mamba instead since its the same shell. I looked into the new 3500dpi deathadder as well, but wanted to go for the full 5600dpi...
Let me say that this mouse doesn't dissapoint. The ergonomic feel is more precise than the deathadder, much better than the log*tech line of gamer mice. The on the fly dpi buttons behind the wheel are a nice upgrade from the deathadder. The cable is braided and feels much stronger than that of older razer mice. The main thing that I was worried about was the smaller side buttons and the slider thing... I use the side buttons for a lot of games and these, though smaller, are just as easy to get to as the deathadder's side buttons. The slider is actually very useful for getting a more customized feel to the mouse. The sensor is very accurate, Though going full 5600dpi in windows for internet browsing, ect, is way to fast. I turn mine down to 2000dpi in for normal browsing and in games crank it up to 5600 in game. I play HL2DM and CSS and turned in game sens. down from 4.0 to 0.9 to get the same feel as the 1800dpi deathadder.
Overall this mouse is very good and I would definetly reccomend getting it if ur old deathadder needs to be retired like mine. 5/5 stars! Another great product from Razer!

Razer Deathadder 3500 High Precision 3.5G Infrared Gaming Mouse Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the upgraded version of the Razer DeathAdder.3500 DPI instead of 1800 DPI.This is the main difference, although I believe the newer version has a gold plated USB connector and obviously different drivers for each model. Either way both models are identical in physical shape.

The arc of the mouse is by far the most comfortable I've ever used, in that it actually follows the curve of one's hand how it instinctively would grab a mouse.It is also a right handed mouse, sorry southpaws, which adds to the comfort and control of the mouse.I can't say I know what the mouse grip is made out of, but it is completely slip resistant and oil resistant/absorbent. The sides of the mouse are a hard plastic and between the teflon feet and light weight of the mouse there is almost no resistance to movement.

I upgraded from a Logitech Revolution wireless mouse and wireless mice, while convenient, can't compete with the accuracy and precision that a wired mouse provides.My old wireless mouse would lag and skip across the screen and often when closing a program it would accidentally close the window behind it as well, which I never quite figured out why it did that (I'm guessing radio interference?).With the DeathAdder, I have not had that problem once and every click I make is exactly where I expect it to be.

I played with a Logitech G9 and MX518 as well as the Razer Salmosa, which all felt like solid and accurate mice, but they lacked the feel the DeathAdder has.The technical specs are important, but it doesn't really matter how accurate a mouse is if it still isn't comfortable to use.In short, I'm pretty happy I went this way.However, the Razer Salmosa was a close second, but it just seemed like a simple version of the original 3G DeathAdder.

As for gaming I haven't had a whole lot of chances to test it out yet.I've played a bit of Left for Dead with it and after some getting used to and tweaking the settings (independent X and Y sensitivity, button assignemnt, acceleration, etc.) it is way easier to shoot hoards of zombies in the head.I also have played a bit of Fallout, and while the mouse is definately smoother, I can't say it has affected gameplay all that much.I've tried this mouse on my desktop and laptop (Vista and 7 respectively) and both operating systems seem to run the Razer software perfectly fine.Windows recognized the mouse immediately and it works fine with the windows drivers, but I highly recommend downloading the latest Razer drivers for maximum performance.The level of adjustment this mouse offers is wasted otherwise.

Other thoughts:
The blue lights on the mouse wheel and the glowing DeathAdder logo are pretty cool.I can see them becoming annoying after a while, but they are easy enough to turn off in the settings.

The DPI and Polling rates can be lowered from the 3500DPI and 1000ms if desired, but I only notice a decrease in accuracy and performance so I'm not sure why you would.

My only real complaint is the "On-The-Fly" sensitivity switch is on the bottom of the mouse.I'm not sure how on the fly that is if I'm playing a game, which is the only time I would need to use that feature. Ultimately, it's not that big of a deal, but it is kind of false advertising in my opinion.

I can't stress enough how form fitting this mouse is, not to mention that is looks pretty cool at the same time.Something about it just feels "right." Granted it took me a couple days to get used to it, but now I don't think I could go back.If you already have a Logitech G9 (or something similar) I can't say I'd tell you to go replace it right now, but if you are looking for an upgrade this is the way to go.
