The Razer Clubhouse

[Black Panther]

you get used ot it black panther..its hard at first to get the right place in a browser window etc...but you get used to it and it actually gives your senses something to do imo...

The main problem is not really managing to put the pointer on the exact place.
It's the clicking part which is going to drive me up a wall!

For example, I'd see a link, put pointer exactly on link with no problem, click..... and...... during the clicking action the pointer moves a fraction of an inch and instead I 'select' part of the link!

Gaming is different. I can game much better now. What solution is there? I didn't get a high dpi mouse to adjust it to low dpi and start banging the keyboard and lifting mouse again (don't have much mouse space).

imo your just going to have to get used to it with me it was hard but it was a much bigger mouse than i had had before so the back of my hand touches the table this adds stablility for situations like this.

Black Panther is that an IKEA chair? (if i am mistaken for me)
Because it looks like one I am considering to buy, if so how is the build quality? Because I am having a few doubts about how it will last with that price tag
sorry if it is too of topic

We don't have the IKEA brand in my country so it's definitely not IKEA.

If you like it I will take a photo of the chair and I pm it to you. It's good quality - I've been using it for nearly a year now, it's got wheels, is rotating, comfortable but not too soft, real leather and I bought it for ~$140.

There is one glitch though -- the armrests aren't padded.

Look at my photo, previously I used to keep my mouse on the level of the satellite speakers and that got me a somewhat sore shoulder. I saw a photo of a similar desk on TPU with the mouse on the same level as the keyboard and was surprised how much more comfortable that was! (Gotta love TPU for ideas!)
The thing is that to use the mouse on the same level as the keyboard means that I have to rest my elbow on a rock-hard unpadded armrest which is now making my elbow bone sore...

So what can I say, my chair would be fantastic... only if it had padded armrests!

On the topic of razer:
I think I mentioned before in this thread that the drivers which came with my lachesis on disk didn't work correctly and I had to download the updated drivers from the net.

I notice that there is also firmware update.
I would like to know from owners of Lachesis mice which firmware version you are using, and whether you suggest I download the latest firmware.
Normally I say that if something isn't broke you shouldn't fix it, but there is some stuff which doesn't work like I would like it to. For example if I'm using my ODD like installing a game while browsing the net the mouse pointer starts moving slowly upwards.

Can i join the illustrious Razer club?

I have a Razer Diamondback 3G, Green.

It was before i was banned that some people on the forums suggested i get a Razer mouse due to the excellent build quality, precision and comfort.

Id say that sometimes the left buttons for me as a right handed person are hard to use not overly tho.

The shape has become comfortable after a few months use, ive got quite fat hands lol

It needs a mouse pad tho as the wood of the desk although slidey isnt ideal and i dont like the small lumps of dirt that form on the edges of the bottom of the mouse.

I contacted the retailer, and he did suggest that I update the firmware.

Last March the Firmware v1.64 was released for the Lachesis.
It's amazing the difference it made to my mouse.
It's actually very stable now. I can even browse using 4000dpi at full 10 sensitivity. Though I decrease the dpi to 3875 (one notch down for 125dpi less) for more comfort in browsing. The new firmware for the Lachesis really rocks!

Might I add that I browse/game at such high dpi because I downloaded the CPL MouseFix from TPU.

It makes a difference, mouse movement is more realistic in that when you move your mouse on the pad the pointer moves the same amount on the monitor whether you move the mouse slowly or you jerk it fast. Test it out, if you don't have the mousefix installed if you move your mouse the same distance but faster it will make the picture on the monitor move very disproportionately when compared to the result you get with the mousefix.

I agree it's a lot better. I got the beta testing version first but this full version is a lot better

Originally bought it 2nd hand with carrying pouch @ car boot sale for £0.5. Brilliant mouse for me. I like the sensitivity & that my wrist doesn't get tired. Definetly going to buy more Razer products

 

[Black Panther]

Little update - I really got the hang of the Lachesis now, I don't think I'll ever move to a non-gaming mouse! (I'm itching to use it on my work pc but that'll get me some funny looks for sure )

The grip is magnificent too. My hands get a little sweaty while gaming (adrenaline?) and my previous mice ended up feeling like a wet dead fish in my hands, but not the Lachesis!

Warning: Rant

Black Panther, you have experienced how using high quality input devices greatly enhance productivity and comfort when using a computer.
unfortunately that does not seem to be the case for the many office workers, who work with computers for as much eight hours a day.
Its really a shame how ignorant the average computer user is about what effect their peripherals like mouse, keyboard and monitor have
and ultimately quite a few grow to feel uncomfortable or even hating using a computer.
It is really so stupid to cut computer costs on such an important component to save $/€/£ !!!
So bigger keyboard/mouse budgets ftw
