Staying up for razer.

If it really does mean that then what a waste of money. I always have my MX510 somewhere near half its maximum sensitivity. That means I use most of my mousemat, and it gives me a greater degree of control on FPS games. The high DPI is still useful however, as it means the movements are more accurately picked up. :)
 
4000 dpi looks great on paper, but what sort of games would that be useful for? 2000 dpi makes your crosshair look like it's on speed. Slow tank turrets?
 
Set windows to lowest speed and the mouse to max dpi = win

As for the mouse, will probably get one even though they forgot one bit of info off the spec sheet.
Will cease to function at random after 6-12 months of use.

After using wireless in my office in a few games I'd never use it for gaming again if I had the choice. Wired for me all the way. Maybe it's the craptastic standard microsoft kit we bought but I still wouldn't trust it. Keeps losing connection even though the reciever is right in front of both mouse and keyboard.

I'm pressing W to move forward in the game and suddenly it forgets that I'm pressing it and I stop dead. Not good when you're running from cover to cover with enemies shooting at you.
 
Eww, laser.

I'm keeping my deathadder until they bring out an upgraded optical spec. Still don't trust laser.

DPI is pretty irrelevant, this seems one for the typical chimp who thinks laser sounds better than optical (ooooh laz0rs, *** sm3ckz, must buy to fertilise my 3p33n.)

Will be interesting to see if the laser has been refined to compare with optical counterparts yet.

Your deathadder is lazer.
 
The Deathadder is also 3G tech, however I was under the impression that it wasn't lazer but optical I-R?

Anyway I'm happy with the Deathadder.

No, no it isn't. You're confused because it says the sensor is 3G, this just means its a third generation sensor, both IR and laser happen to be on their 3G!

Taken from Razer on Deathadder:
1800dpi Razer Precision™ 3G infrared sensor
Ergonomic right-handed design
1000Hz Ultrapolling™ / 1ms response
Five independently programmable Hyperesponse™ buttons
On-The-Fly Sensitivity™ adjustment........

The Lachesis
4000dpi Razer Precision 3G Laser™ sensor
The Razer Lachesis ™ reigns supreme with a true 4000dpi 3G Laser™ sensor, which enables movement speeds of 5 times that of a standard 800dpi optical sensor. View the Razer 3G Laser white paper
32KB Razer Synapse™ onboard memory
With a 32KB onboard memory, you can store up to five unique gaming profiles.
Nine independently programmable Hyperesponse™ buttons
The Razer Lachesis™ allows programming of button functions while Razer’s Hyperesponse™ technology reduces latency for optimum gameplay.

All the first-generation laser mice were flawed, but we've yet to see how well the Logitech G9 or Razer Lachesis work so let's give them the benefit of the doubt for now yes?
 
The Lachesis is basically just a Copperhead with an upgraded laser and new looks, but looks ok to me. Might be getting one :P

It's weird - I was never into expensive mouses until about a year ago when i finally forked out above 5 quid for an MX518, i loved it so much i now have a copperhead and a G5 for my brother and will get the Lachesis. CURSES!

Yes try a logitech who do it right. Ive never had that problem with a wireless but Ive only ever used logitech, its as responsive as wired and thats been true since they produced the mx700.
The one Im using now is a 610 I think which is much lighter and will work off 1 battery if you like.
I play fps and I wouldnt use it if it dropped signal like that at all. The mx700 I still have and its about 4 years old now so they last ok too.

Do they do a wireless version of this mouse?

I recently got the MX Revolution to test out whilst my MX1000 is being replaced free of charge by Logitech (love Logitech!) - turns out after extensive testing in games and Photoshop that whilst the Revolution kicks butt in ergonomics and features/feel it is not as accurate as the MX1000 so I ended up returning it and using a cheap IR mouse until the new MX1000 arrives.

I've had my MX1000 for 2-3 years now and it's been amazing on games and photo editing so I could not do without the wireless freedom and the laser sensor - I have used lots of other mice in the past and I must have wireless as it's virtually lagless and convenient :D

MX1000 all the way! I will have to buy a 2nd MX1000 as backup though just incase one fails :p
