4K DPI

Razer has been making gaming peripherals that cater to the serious and professional PC gamer.  Serious gamers will tell you that a high-DPI gaming mouse is practically required to seriously compete in today's virtual sports, as they deliver accurate and precise control, which digitally translates the gamer's skill (or lack thereof) to the Frag-fest of choice.  Or so they say...

Razer has had good success with their previous line of gaming mice and keyboards, and now they've developed a new laser sensor (dubbed the 3G), and wrapped a brand-spanking new professional mouse around it - the Razer Lachesis.

Equipped with the revolutionary 4000dpi Razer Precision 3G Laser sensor, the Razer Lachesis gaming mouse takes on the same lethal traits as its namesake that will send shivers down your enemies’ spines. Add 32KB of onboard memory, nine programmable Hyperesponse buttons, as well as an impressive 1000Hz Ultrapolling with 1ms response time, and you’ve got a formidable weapon in your arsenal of destruction. Victory beckons – move in for the kill.

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.
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.

    Nice try, Christopher. If that company wants their products promoted, then they can submit some samples for review. I contacted them at PAX and they blew me off.
