I have a lachesis.

Love it. Its a little bit different in terms of its size, and how its shaped, but after getting used to it, I can't imagine ever going back to something more standard.

I found the shape of it to be absolutely terrible - I ended up returning it within a week and getting a Diamondback instead.

Definitely a personal preference thing, though - if you don't mind the shape of it in your hand, its probably quite good. I couldn't use the side buttons at all, though, without hurting my wrist.

Try this. I have been using it for awhile and for me it works great. Never have had any jumps, stalls.

Mouse clicks are quick and precise, adjustable DPI up to 3200. Laser grade mouse. To me it is a larger mouse but is more comfortable for my hands. has adjustable weights at the back but to be honest I have never messed with them.

has two side buttons as well.

The only problem I have had with it is that when my computer goes to sleep and I wake it back up I have to unplug and plug it back in to get it to work.

I have never used the lachesis so I cant comment on it. But I have heard razer makes good gaming mice.
I'm terrible

Thx for the input guys =D

anyways, if i do hate the lachesis and i return it, what mouse would you recommend? (preferably under 50 dollars)

im a kind of person who uses a fingertip grip on mice, so can you guys help me pick one out?

btw add the link too


If you do decide to replace it make sure you consult this spreadsheet:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AosJbEwEG9GpdEpBMGc1ZXo0S3BLQm1YQ09jeVZ6bEE&w=100&h=650

You want to avoid any mouse that uses Phillips Twin Eye and doesn't allow you to turn off mouse prediction/snapping.

Once you've narrowed it down you need to look at things like:
- Shape
- Price
- Number of buttons (if it matters)
- DPI (if it matters)

As for my recommendation.. I would go with Logitech. Either G9x, MX518 or G700 depending on the shape you like. The G700 is quite expensive but I love it. For a cheaper Logitech mouse that has the same shape as the G700 you want to look at the M500.

Buying a mouse is a lot easier if you know how you prefer to grip the mouse, some people will say its awkward because they like palm grip over the claw grip style of the mouse. So I can't really rate it because I don't have one but I though that might be helpful.
More gg, more skill.

I have the Logitech g9x laser mouse right now and it's great.

2x grips
interchangeable weights
on the fly dpi switching
customizable led lights
extra buttons
profile switching
5600 dpi
etc

If the lachesis isn't for you, I would recommend this mouse.. it's around 65 or cheaper i think

I really like the lachesis (i have the older one) that i've been using.
I also have the G9x which is a really good mouse - i tried it for a week, but never really got used to it, it's a little bit heavier than the lachesis, even without any weights.

however, lately, my lachesis is giving me some intermittent axis-locking problems which2a is super annoying, so i'm trying to get used to the G9x again.

I got my lachesis for 30 bucks on woot and I love it. The only problem that I have had with it was dirt getting caught on the laser. That's my fault though, and is easily fixed with a Q-tip.

i personally prefer the deathadder, if you can test them out for a couple days each and see what mouse fits you best. Mice are like shoes man its gotta fit you just right for maximum performance :D

i went to best buy i think yesterday to check out their lineup of gaming mices from razer and logitech. originatively my bro told me to buy the xai because it was on sale, but then he kinda thought about it after seeing the "huge" size of it, and it just looks like a crappy dell mouse that is oversized and has several extra buttons on it.

Anyways, i check out the mice there, and not surprisingly none of the razer mice were on display. i couldnt find the lachesis there either, but i found the mamba, naga, orochi( oh its soo small!! awesome!) deathadder, and the Imperator. the old version of the mx18 was on display and so was the G500, which felt soo nice. it was light, and the buttons felt like magic.

i did check it out, felt the grip (i just felt the plastic display thingy covering the mouse) and personally i dont really like it.

definitely the next two mice on my list(if i dont like the Lachesis) will be the G500 and/or Razer Abyssus. No steel series mice for me, and the G9x deals are way over, so yeah im thinking about these two,

thx for contributing everybody!

plz add moar =D

I have big hands, I got the mouse and loved it and used it until I spilled ramen noodle juice over it and broke it. I still have a salmosa but shit just ain't the same.
