Benchmark Reviews has reviewed the Razer Lachesis V2 laser gaming mouse that features the 3.5G laser sensor, supporting up to 5600dpi. The mouse also has customizable lighting for both the wheel and the logo, which can be set to individual colors. The Lachesis V2 5600dpi laser gaming mouse is also ambidextrous, which means that the mouse is capable of recognizing whether you are holding it with your left or right hand, and able to work in either mode. In addition, this gaming mouse provides nine programmable buttons with 1000Hz ultrapolling for a 1ms response time. Here is the conclusion:
The Razer Lachesis is right up there with the best of them when it comes to functionality, the Razer configuration utility is super easy to use and needs no real explanation, but if you do find yourself stuck you can consult the included user guide. All nine buttons can be re-assigned to different functions, macro’s are easily created and assigned, sensitivity is easily adjusted and of course you have the option to change the color of the Razer logo and the scroll wheel, the color configuration is rather basic and would benefit from more options to really bring it to life.
The Razer Lachesis V2 5600 gaming mouse retails for only $79.99 a pop. [Benchmark Reviews]
