As i can see from the first thread, there is no review for the Razer Lachesis 5600.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Went to the PC Fair early this morning, 15th of April 2011 Friday, and got myself a Razer Lachesis 5600 for RM259. It's an ambidextrous gaming mouse by Razer. It's categorized under the "Expert" Razer product by Razer themselves. Ok, so here comes the question. Why should i get the new Lachesis 5600 instead of the older Lachesis? Let me list out a few reason:
Reason 1: Lachesis 5600 has up to 5600 DPI comparing to the older version which only has 4000 DPI.
Reason 2: Lachesis 5600 use the latest 3.5G Laser Sensor compared to the older version which uses 3G Laser Sensor.
Reason 3: Lachesis 5600 has 60KB of synapse memory compared to the older version which has only 32KB synapse memory.
Reason 4: Lachesis 5600 has braided cables instead of those normal mouse cables. So what's so good bout braided cables? it wont get tangled!
Reason 5: *This is ONE of the main factor/reason why i get this mouse* It is multi-color!

Ok, at this point people might get a little sick of reading words, so let me bombard you with pictures

Let's start off with the packaging.
The front packaging of the box contains some of the feature of the new Razer Lachesis
The left side of the box contains a message from RazerGuy and again, some features of the Lachesis
At the back, you can see the specifications of the mouse and the features along with the Laser Sensor Comparison Chart
Pictures and detailed version of the features
The mouse is viewable through a plastic see through box when u open the cover
Next set would be what's inside the box itself. When you open the box and pull the inner parts out, there are some guide books at the back of the box which is kept inside an envelope.
The envelope which is attach to the box
"For Gamers By Gamers" the famous Razer slogan

Flip the envelope over and you will see a slogan "Welcome to the cult of Razer"
From top left -> bottom right, Certificate of Authenticity -> (Top center) Hard Paper note about the Lachesis -> Quick start guide -> (center) sticker -> Master guide -> Product Catalog
Now the real moment that we all are waiting for! Bring out the "Bringer of silent death".
The Lachesis is screaming for help to release it from it's container
After the plastic cover release! Beware of the snake

Finally out of the box. I really love the glossy bottom and matte top!
The braided cables! Really help out a lot. Prevent the mouse cables from getting tangled.
The standard "Gold USB Connector" that can be found in all Razer products
The newly added rubber grip on the silicon makes it nice to scroll!
Backside of the mouse featuring it's power! the 3.5G Laser Sensor
Let's move on to the drivers. Though they didn't provide any CD's so we have to download them through the website. Nonetheless, it's easy to download. And the new drivers for the Lachesis 5600 is a BIG improvement from the old one.
The first thing you will notice when the drivers loads up is the "Assign Buttons" panel where you assign the keys you want and set the profile
The second panel is where you tweak the performance of the mouse like DPI or the polling rate
This is where you create new profile, import or export profile and deleting a profile
The fourth panel is where you assign macros to the mouse. This is where the Razer mouse outsmart other players!

Finally, we have reach the last part of the review and also the most eye-catchy part! The multi-color section!
Mixture of teal + midnight blue
Purple lachesis looks cool!
Feel the elegance of white!
Mixture of Red and Orange. Turns out to be really nice!
Dislike the preset colors? You can choose from ANY color you can see in the chart and apply them straight to the mouse!
And thus, i shall now end the picture section. Next up would be my final verdict/conclusion on my thoughts about the mouse.
First of all, holding it in the hand, the Lachesis 5600 feels exactly like my previous Lachesis. However, there are a few significant improvement they did to the mouse. For instance the rubber grip which can be found at the scroll button makes scrolling smoother and nicer. I like the idea of a braided cables, it's tangle-free unlike the previous one i had which always got tangled. You can feel a minor difference between the 3.5G Laser Sensor comparing to the old one. Acceleration and mouse movement seems to be more accurate and stable. And lastly, i like the new version because I do not have to think over and over again on which color i should get. If i dislike blue today, i can easily change it to another color in just a few simple clicks which will take me less than 10 seconds. It gives u a "Brand New Mouse" feeling everyday when you use it

. Conclusion, it's worth paying RM259 to get this mouse. People with big hand like me, this is the perfect size mouse for you!
Hope you enjoy this review and stay tuned for more reviews from me. Thank you!
