Razer Lachesis Gets Laser Sensor Upgrade And Customizable LEDs

Razer has been relatively quiet lately, but that's changing today. The company's latest release is something of a familiar refresh, with the Lachesis keeping its form factor but gaining a new, more powerful sensor. When it comes to high performance mice, it's all about the sensitivity and response time, with snipers in particular being very aware of how fast their weapon tracks.


The new Lachesis has an upgraded 5600DPI Razer Precision 3.5G laser sensor and a customizable multi-color LED lighting system, the latter of which enables gamers to customize the LED lights on the mouse from a range of 16 million colors. Better still, the new mouse allows gamers to customize those colors individually, so each of the illuminated areas can glow a different color.
