The mouse works excellent. It skipped at first, then I turned it over and saw the clear soft plastic protective cover that covers the bottom of the mouse and partially interupts the laser. I removed it and the silver sticker that goes around the lazer as well and it has performed flawlessly since. Excellent for games and I do CAD with it as well. So if you’re skipping, try uncovering the lazer D.A.

All I can say is this is another great Razer product. It did indeed come right out of the box with all the problems people described in other reviews. I installed the provided disk drivers and restarted as per instructions. My computer restarted and the mouse went dead. I had to unplug and replug to get it to power up. The mouse powered up and mouse movement was extremely jumpy and wouldnt move correctly. Reading reviews and looking around before I purchased the mouse I had a memory jog and was reminded to take the clear plastic off the bottom. PROBLEM SOLVED. I played around with the mouse and found that it would lag a second or two before moving after sitting for a couple seconds. Another quick trip to the review pages and found that this is an easy remedy. DOWNLOAD THE UPDATED DRIVERS! That task completed and the mouse moves and works like a dream. In this day and age with software and hardware upgrades it should be all but instant to go to a website and download the latest driver. I wont insult anyone but if you expect any computer part or product to work right out of the box without updated drivers you’re more than likely sorely mistaken.
I use this mouse with a steelseries mousepad and they are a great together. I personally love the look and feel ot Razer mice and they are a great fit for my hand and wrist posture. I havent played with any of the marco capabilities or anything like that but if it holds true to with other Razer products I wont be disappointed.
The only true recommendation I would offer someone that cant be fixed with a trip to the net is a trip to a local best buy or similiar store to see how the fit and feel to your hand will be. If you like what you see and feel hands on you wont be disappointed once you start using it.
Like mentioned above, dont let some of the down reviews deter you from this mouse. Take the plastic shipping sheet off the bottom and install the updated drivers and you wont be disappointed.
As far as usage I use this mouse for everything. WOW, COD4, BF2, Dawn of War II, are all on my active gaming list I’ve used this mouse with as well as a little Corel and photoshop’ing. Its meets my expectations and more.

This mouse feels like a combination of the Razer Diamondback and the Microsoft Habu. It has the design of the Diamondback but the button and wheel style of the habu. For a medium sized hand, your fingertips rest right in the middle of the mouse buttons so it would be a very good mouse for an oversized hands.
One of the big problems with the Diamondback, despite its ambidextrous design was the two side buttons. It was too small for the ring finger to reach. This mouse with its Habu style buttons eliminates that problem. Eventhough it still takes alot of practice to use the 2 side buttons with your ring fingers, its alot less awkward than the Diamondback. I think that the smaller your hand is, the easier it is to use the side buttons with your ring finger and pinky.
The 4k dpi design seems really figidity. Now I don’t know if its a bad eye or driver but sometimes my cursor will slide when trying to click on a mouse button and it happens spontaneously. (I thought it was dust at first but I cleaned it out thoroughly). Even at 2k dpi its definitely not as precise as the Diamondback.
Personally, I prefer the feel of the Habu. If you can do without the extra 2 mouse buttons and you are right handed I would try out the Habu before this. If it was as precise as the Diamondback, this would easily be my favorite mouse. I don’t know if it is defective or not.

I’ve been using a Copperhead for a while now. What I liked about the Copperhead was the precision and neutral hand orientation is friendly to us lefties. I thought my Copperhead was dying because I couldn’t get the drivers to work so I ordered the Lachesis as a replacement.
Logitech has surpassed 2000dpi, but they have yet to offer the same smoothness as the Diamondback not to mention the Copperhead, which completely negates the purpose of 3200DPI.
This mouse is 4000dpi and offers the same smoothness only at higher resolution.
I was initially worried that I might have some problems with lift off, and jumpiness. The mouse shipped with firmware 1.64, and I upgraded to 1.75. Neither firmware had a problem.
The “lift off” movement was no more than 10-20% worse than any other laser mouse which is barely noticeable. Considering the precision, you can’t ask for any better than that – plus with this kind of precision, do you really need to lift the mouse? The days of the ball mice are over!
The buttons on the side of the mouse are easier to reach than the copperhead as well.
I’m still getting used to the shape vs the Copperhead, but so far I do not find it any more or less comfortable, I’m just so used to the Copperhead that I’m surprised when I put my hand on something else. My initial reaction is “who cut the sides off my mouse”, but overall the feel is close.
I use it with an eXactmat and the Lachesis works excellent on both sides.

I bought this mouse and tried to get it to work for 2 weeks, then finally had to return it. I also purchased the Razer official Exactmat mousepad to make sure there were no issues with the surface area.
The Lachesis mouse has known issues on the Razer website. I went there looking for a fix. Razer has a “beta” patch for the mouse skip issues but you have to install the patch “at your own risk.”
Customer support is only by email and not very good or friendly or even quick. There is no phone number to call them.
I updated all the software and it was still buggy. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it skipped, sometimes it just completely stopped working.
Ergonomics : not good
I went out to the web and now see that this mouse has bad reviews on other websites most notably because of the bad ergonomics.
The Shape of the mouse makes it uncomfortable after just a short time using it for regular functions or games.
