Introduction
The Lachesis is the world’s largest pit viper snake, and the word means “Bringer of Silent Death” in Latin, according to Razer. In reality it brings comfortable mousing to both left-and-right handed gamers, but that’s a decidedly less sexy tagline. The biggest selling point of the Lachesis is that it offers 4000dpi sensitivity, which is the highest so far in the dpi arms race. Though its 4000 dpi was a bit too sensitive for our tastes and we had a few issues with the software, it’s still an overall decent product from Razer.
