Razer kicks Microsoft in the mouse with the 4000 dpi Lachesis

Most gamers understand the value of a good mouse when it comes to optimizing their game play. Certainly, a good mouse won’t make a bad player better, but a good mouse can help a decent player have more fun.

This week Microsoft revived the SideWinder name with a new SideWinder Mouse that had a paltry 2000 dpi. Paltry compared to the new Razer Lachesis, which is equipped with the new Razer 3G Laser engine good for a whopping 4000 dpi non-interpolated sensitivity setting. In addition to the high-sensitivity, the Lachesis also has a tracking speed of 60-100 IPS and can withstand acceleration of up to 25G during play.

Razer also uses the familiar on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment with one notable improvement, rather than using software to adjust the sensitivity levels, all adjustments on the Lachesis are done with hardware. That means you get true sensitivity settings, not settings resulting from interpolation.

The Lachesis uses an ambidextrous design that Razer optimized for a “claw†grip. Razer’s Synapse software handles the mouse programming and the Lachesis also has 32kb of onboard memory to store game profiles.

Ultrapolling at 1000 Hz provides a 1ms response time and the mouse has nine independently programmable Hyperesponse buttons. The data path on the mouse is 16-bit ultra-wide and uses the always-on mode to reduce lag.

The Lachesis only comes with a black body and is available with two lighting colors, Phantom White and Banshee Blue. The Lachesis will be available in October 2007 globally for $79.99.

That is probably overkill for most people and is more of a marketing gimmick

WTF ..... i find 2000dpi too sensitive and now 4000 lol

we need to quash such marketting gimmicks. 4000 DPI! As you kidding?? Fatality was Fatality even in the days of 400 & 800 DPI. This is sheer opulence at its best and worst - however you look at it.

Actually, on second thoughts, 4000 DPI does make sense. Sure it does. If you're gaming on a 3000WFP at 2560x1600 then possibly yes But one'd have to be an utter idiot to try playing an FPS on a 30-inch display at a gaming event. :goodjob:

I disagree with tracer here... With the displays becoming cheap now every body will want to get a 30" sooner then later and after buying everything along with the proccy and card you find that you have the perfect setup to have a decent FPS at that res but you don't have the stupid mouse to play it properly would be a shame ...

what he says is right though.. razer's mice are aimed at competitive gamers. i'm almost certain you will never EVER find a pro gamer using a 30 inch display at a gaming event. even 21 is kinda overkill.

why? the reason is quite simple. a 30inch display is so large that a gamer won't be able to effectively watch the entire screen. in games like q3 and cs you often get attacked from above and below. a 30 inch display in this case would actually put you at a disadvantage.

finally.. most competitive gamers don't go above 800x600 or sometimes 1024x768, no matter what the size of the display is. for these resolutions.. even a 1600 dpi mouse is sufficient.

First of all the 4000dpi is useless for desktop users :no:
and the shape of the mouse is very very BAD
BTW does the mouse have ne lights like the previous razer one's

 

[Gannu]

All of Razer's mouse except the DA's developin problems after an yr of usage...

Dunno hw it'd live to its expectations..
