A large front-end, narrow waistline and curvaceous rear end. That's what the latest addition to the gaming family from Razer is. Where once we were content with using a ball mouse and cleaning up after it, users now demand not just low-maintainence but higher performance from their mice. With the launch of Logitech's G9's seemingly impossible 3,200DPI, Razer has now answered with the Razer Lachesis. Armed with a 4,000DPI 3G Lazer sensor, the Lachesis is the Road Runner of computer mice. Give such resolving power, many would wonder if it would really make a difference. Therefore, we will take the Razer Lachesis for a swipe or two and determine if it's role is simply to claim the DPI race.

 
We received a A Lachesis that glows in white, but of course, the usual blue glow version is also available.
