Razer Lachesis 4000 dpi Laser Gaming Mous--Banshee Blue Best Quality


A couple months ago I wanted to buy a second Copperhead for use at work so I could bring my primary one home. Much to my (then) chagrin they no longer produced the Copperhead. After a little research I decided on purchasing the Lachesis, which seems to be the spiritual successor to the Diamondback/Copperhead line.

As I mouse left-handed, getting an ambidextrous mouse was critical. Kudos to Razer for continuing to make high quality Ambi mice (though their latest high-end offering is righty-only, I hope this trend doesn't continue).

The packaging is typical high quality Razer, not much needs to be said about it.

The mouse is just...perfect. While the Copperhead took a little getting used to (I found the side buttons in an odd location at first) the Lachesis' are flawlessly placed. They require just the right amount of pressure to push. I love the soft plastic coating on the whole mouse, it gives it a great grip and it just feels really nice to touch. The coating on my Copperhead started peeling after a couple of years so I'm hoping that they improved this process and it wont happen on this mouse.

They also drastically improved their teflon pads since the Copperhead. They are now thicker and wider so you don't get the "scraping" problem that the CH got once the pads started wearing down/sliding around.

Years of Quake and Starcraft taught me to grip a mouse with my fingertips "claw" style. This mouse is perfect for that. If you get a little lazy you can palm it but it's sub-ideal.

I use Mac OS X as my primary operating system. Configuring my mouse required booting up VMWare and figuring out some magic to get the mouse passed to the VM as a USB device [...] but once I did that everything worked just fine across all OS's. Love Razer's onboard memory system.

After a couple months of the Lachesis at work I couldn't stand going home to my CH anymore and had to buy a second one so I could enjoy the same experience in both locations. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Note: I took one star off of Ease of Use because the Razer software is still pretty cluttered UI-wise even though it works like a dream, just has stuff in a bit of a weird place (the profile management takes a bit to get used to). Everything else is perfect.Get more detail about Razer Lachesis 4000 dpi Laser Gaming Mous--Banshee Blue.

iMicro Optical USB Mouse OEM White Box Get it now!


If you are looking for an inexpensive optical standard mouse this one deserves your consideration. It isn't white, and is the same size as a standard mouse which was fine for me. I purchased a couple dozen for a school and all installed fine/no issues. Only had these installed for a few weeks so I can't comment on how they hold up over time, but so far they/ve been perfect for my needs - I likely will be getting more.Get more detail about iMicro Optical USB Mouse OEM White Box.

2-button Ergonomic USB 800dpi Optical Finger Mouse Order Now


Stopped working within 27 hours of arrival. The trackball still works, but the laser, or whatever it is, no longer does. So, basically, the mouse cursor no longer appears on screen when this mouse is installed.

Not dropped or mistreated in any way.

HandStands Super Mouse Mat (Black) Decide Now


If you are in any way sensitive to chemical odors, stay away from this product. The smell might be tolerable, perhaps even uniquely "pleasant" for the first day, but in the end it will bring you to your knees! Best as I can describe, it's a mix of an an awful perfume, some unknown chemical and car exhaust. If it weren't for the foul odor, I would have definitely given it a 5 star -- yes, it's that bad.Get more detail about HandStands Super Mouse Mat (Black).

Kensington Slimblade Trackball USB 2.0 for PC and Mac, K72327US Right now


The mouse works great, but getting the drivers to load in Windows 7 is a little tricky. So far I haven't found a way to program the top two buttons so they can be used as "Back" and "Center Mouse Click" as I would like. There is nothing on Kensington's driver site about Windows 7 drivers although it does say it is supported and with some work you can get the buttons working with their default settings. This mouse could GREATLY benefit from programmable buttons. The scrolling works really nice and you even get the clicking sound when you spin the ball in scroll mode correctly. The mouse feels very well built and is comfortable for all-day use. Until I can program a "Back" button I will still keep my "normal" mouse around for quick web browsing.Get more detail about Kensington Slimblade Trackball USB 2.0 for PC and Mac, K72327US.

Lowest Price Logitech V220 Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks (Rose Pink)


The mouse is great and works exactly as it's advertised. I'm a big fan of logitech so I was excited when I found this little guy for $10 at Target--except for the fact that the only color they had left was pink. The only thing that confused me about the unit was that every time I put the USB stick in the dock and then pulled it out to use it later, the power switch was turned to "on". Turns out that the USB stick locks in to the mouse with two grooves on both sides and another towards the bottom tip, which grabs the power switch as it locks in. That groove slides the power switch up and to the right turning the mouse to the "on" position. Thought that was an interesting find. They may want to consider switching the position of the bottom groove so the battery doesn't get drained while the mouse is not in use. Again, awesome product but somewhat annoyed that I can't use the USB storage on the mouse without draining the battery.

Cheapest Kensington K72213USA Mouse-in-a-Box Optical 2 USB Mouse (PC/Mac)


The mouse makes a loud clicking sound every time I right or left mouse click. the Kensington pocket mouse is very quiet, but not so with this larger version. I find it distracting and somewhat annoying. I wish there was a way to "silence" the mouse so I don't have to listen to the loud click every time I press down on the mouse button.Get more detail about Kensington K72213USA Mouse-in-a-Box Optical 2 USB Mouse (PC/Mac).
