   |  Well...I broke down and did it... I got a Razer Lachesis today at Best Buy, since I'm on vacation in Denver. Now, you're all probably thinking it was a stupid idea, but it was actually the same price as Newegg + shipping, as it was at BB. So I figured, what the heck, it's an awesome mouse, and people (especially Trotter  ) seem to like 'em. Tried it out on my laptop that I'm on right now, and wow, this thing is awesome. Can't wait to get home and try it out on my desktop. Looks like I'm replacing my MX518...lol.Oh, and I also got CoD4 while I was there =D.

| Re: Well...I broke down and did it... May think about it, vern =). If I decide to (I probably end up will lol), I'll hit you up, since it sounds like you want it =P. The rubber coating is rubbing off, though, on the sides (from my fingers constantly rubbing in it).

| Re: Well...I broke down and did it... Welcome to a whole new world of pwnage, my friend. If you're like me when I first got it, trying to use it at max sensitivity and DPI is completely out of the question. It took me time, but I use it wide open now. I could use a 3"x3" mouse pad.
