The deathadder looks pretty sweet but its not exactly new anymore and 1800dpi (which is now looked at as old), yet still £40 :o

edit: When i say looks pretty sweet, i mean in general useage and review sense, not just how smoothly it appears on the eye lol.
edit 2: and the stats on it are almost identical to the diamondback 3g i have at the moment... So i will only be changing the ergonomics of one razer to another. Oh, the laser is different or summit a 3g not a lazer, but thats just tech crap.

If you were to power up a game, then the problems worsen, especially if you are a sniper. While the first shot will hit, your cursor will move off the object you are aiming at, making a second fast shot much more difficult. This problem is shown well by Crysis where an assault rifle can be turned into a sniper with the use of a scope, if you miss with the first shot, you’ll lose the chance to land another piece of lead without re-aiming.

This annoyance lowers your gaming enjoyment considerably, and there seems to be no good reason why this issue should occur. We thought that this was serious enough to be a coincidence or one off manufacturing issue, so I tested the second Lachesis that we received and the same problem occurred. Pretty lack-lustre for the latest Razer offering in my mind. It should be noted that this issue does not occur when you use a hard surface which is a boon to anyone who prefers this type of gaming pad. Using the mouse on a SteelSeries QcK heavy, which is a thicker cloth pad, the mouse becomes near unusable, with the cursor missing buttons by a wide margin. It’s like using a teddy-picker at the arcade; even if you get the prize, the times you missed detract from the reward.
Thats off putting enough :lol:
