14 DAY TRIAL // When it comes to gaming, setting up a suitable system is, for hard-core enthusiasts, a two-fold task. The first stage is the putting together of the system itself, with as high a performance level as possible. The second stage is ensuring that the aesthetic value of the system is on the same level as the performance and that the peripherals and audio solutions are of at least the same quality as the graphics, memory and CPU. Well aware of this penchant that enthusiasts possess, Razer decided it would update one of its more popular peripherals.
The device that saw some optimizations, not just in terms of performance but also aesthetics, but maintains the traits that led to it being well received in the first place. For one, it features the same ergonomic and smooth shape and its ambidextrous design, which means it can be used by a great many end-users, provided they have the inclination to pay a price premium in exchange for higher quality. Other elements worthy of mention include a wight of 128 grams, nine programmable Hyperesponse buttons, a gold-plated USB connectors, Ultraslick Teflon feet, a 1ms response time and a seven foot cable and 60KB of onboard memory for profiles.
"The all new Razer Lachesis is about giving gamers more personal choice and customizable options," said Robert "Razerguy" Krakoff, president, Razer USA. "With a multi-color LED for customizable color and a built-in variable dpi, the Razer Lachesis gives gamers everything they need for this three-year fan favorite."
A major asset of the new Lachesis is its use of a 5600dpi Razer precision 3.5G laser sensor, with the other being the multi-color LED system. It should start selling sometime this month, priced at $79.99, which corresponds to 69.99 Euro in Europe.
