IMO after using a handful of Razers, and all the new Logitechs as they come out i would take a Razer over any logitch (i hate their erganomics and layouts)

Razers take a bit of time to adjust to, but once you get used to it you will love it.

I have used generations of Logitechs, and I bought a Razor one day. I like the Razor MUCH better.

somethigns telling me to get the lachesis... i dont know what, but i'm feeling it.

for one thing i've been loving claw grip for FPS as of a few nights ago, but if the mouse has an arch its near impossible to claw it properly. the lachesis is very slim in height, and has one of the best laser sensors around, so perfect for claw grip and playing FPS's.

at least, tahts what i've gathered so far.

mmm dont get a lachesis, laser is horrible for tracking. Get the Deathadder, its cheaper and alot better. Remember more DPI does NOT mean better mouse, thats simply a marketing gimmick. Laser engine=bad for FPS if you use low sens, itll skip like crzy.

personally i love my G9 but thats just because its flat and low and is almost square.

A laser engine will never be better than a good optical. Fact.
