I asked for your input on getting a new gaming mouse on the temp forums and thanks for your help!!
I told you I'd give you an update on what i thought of it so here goes...

oh yeah we're not allowed to swear on the forum so that's going make things a little bit shorter

Function : on the fly dpi switching doesn't work. Adjustable dpi settings - you need to tweak them loads to get anything close to usable (both in mouse config and in bf2) and guess what you end up with an in game setting that is completely different from the menu setting in game. I also  have 2 pointers when i bring up xfire in game (that could just be an xfire bug though).
Also the side buttons have only worked once, the first time i played and now they don't   (the whole reason i bought the f*****g thing) and when i try to remap the keys bf2 tells me they're already in use
(yeas i did clear the keys and reset to default still nothing even with re-installing the driver and the game and I'm still getting the same message)

To try and be impartial i would say it has the potential to be a great mouse ESPECIALLY if you're a Lefty as the side buttons are mirrored on both sides.

That's about it for the review not nearly as positive as I was hoping but then that's life!!

Any help / suggestions would be great (apart from should have bought logitech etc =P)

EDIT: Probably looks a bit like this.

Yeah, difference being the Razer software is worth installing, Logi software is a waste of time and hard drive space.

What control the mouse with the power of my mind cool..
Mebbe I could get a part in heroes, ah wait someone already does that, so the best I could hope for would be the equivalent of a red shirted security officer on star treck who gets picked for an away team....

Err search for the file? You paste it in paint...

Anyway, if it's installed that's all the matters.

You running Vista by any chance?

Thanks I tried that too, both identical drivers an neither have made any difference.
What's really annoying me is the fact that it worked the first time and now it doesn't.

Odd, I dunno then mate, never had issues with my Copperhead, RMA it and see if the next one is the same, if it is there's summin goin on with your PC.


Oh you did uninstall - restart - reinstall didn't you? It doesn't really work right without the restart.

Yeah, I have no problems using that software with my Copperhead.

My opinion about the Lachesis: Beautiful, sexy mouse with a great body.  A little too pricey and I don't need 4000 DPI (I only use 1600).
