Razer is a company that prides itself in designing products for gamers, by gamers. We've already seen what Razer is capable of when it comes to crazy computer mice and "gaming surfaces", but what about something a little more substantial? Well, the speakers that are built into my Dell laptop are pretty anemic at best, so I approached the newly launched Razer Mako THX speakers with completely open arms. And the 2.1 system absolutely blew me away. Yes, they are that good.

Today we'll test the Krait mouse for RTS & MMORPG games. It's designed specially for the "click'em all" style. The brightest representative of such games is Diablo and its clones, which are not mentioned among the target applications for some reason. A description of this mouse focuses on the buttons, which can process many actions per second (up to 20) and are designed to be pressed as easy and fast as it's physically possible.

In terms of aesthetics, the Lycosa is certainly an attention-grabber. The top surface has a sleek, glossy finish, almost like a piano. The buttons are finished with a non-slip, rubber finish that contrasts the glossy surface really well. The wrist rest appears to be regular black plastic, with the Razer logo in the center. I really like how the keys aren't fully visible when the back light is off, producing a nice stealth effect.

Razer has been making gaming peripherals that cater to the serious and professional PC gamer. Serious gamers will tell you that a high-DPI gaming mouse is practically required to seriously compete in today's virtual sports, as they deliver accurate and precise control, which digitally translates the gamer's skill (or lack thereof) to the Frag-fest of choice. Or so they say... Razer has had good success with their previous line of gaming mice and keyboards, and now they've developed a new laser sensor (dubbed the 3G), and wrapped a brand-spanking new professional mouse around it - the Razer Lachesis.

If I say Razer, immediately everyone says, Boomslang! The mouse that was superior compared to other gaming mice. Razer's motto is, for gamers, by gamers. They design their products in cooperation with pro gamers and everyone at Razer are actually gamers as well. It's nice to see that their philosophy is a way of life carried into their products as well. What we are looking at today is their latest mouse, apart from the recently launched special edition boomslang. It's the Razer Diamondback 3g Gaming mouse.

Today we're going to have a look at Razer's most recent mouse, the Lachesis. Weighing in at 4000dpi with a 1000MHz polling rate, this mouse is sure to be an absolute beast. But, does a 4000dpi sensor provide noticeable improvement, and will Razer stay true to their well-earned reputation? Read on as we find out.

The Destructor's surface is made with a proprietary "gunmetal" coating which gives it the exceptional reactive surface. In layman's terms, that means the surface helps laser type mice respond easier than compared to something like the Everglide series. The gunmetal coating appears to be pretty resilient against even against minor abuse such as when you get pwned in game and start slapping the pad or banging your mouse against it. You know who you are out there...

The design of the Razer Boomslang Collector's Edition 2007 is wider and fatter than typical Razer mice. The feel in the hand is good, but certainly larger than typical mice. The section of the Boomslang with the buttons is wider with a roundish design making the base where your palm sits narrower than the top of the mouse. The two side buttons sit right at the junction of the palm area and rounded top. I found during use that the button on the left wide was very easy to activate accidentally.

RAZER is a company that develops and manufactures gaming peripherals that can give gamers the competitive edge. They specialize in headsets, keyboards and mice to give gamers ultimate control over their competitors but at the same time making it more comfortable for them to endure long hours of fragging or raiding. Let's see how this philosphy translates to the RAZER Piranha!

The Razer Piranha is a worthy follow-up to the Razer Barracuda in some regards, though not in others. While the sound performance is clearly above-average at worst and the design is interesting to look at, my experience with the Piranhas turned out to be almost as painful as an encounter with some Pygocentrus nattereri. The other insurmountable problem to get over with the Piranhas is the staggering cost of the headset - £53.39 in the UK or $69.99 in the US! At those prices, I'd personally demand a little bit more than the Piranha is offering. When it comes down it, the Piranha is a half-decent headset with excellent bark, but awful bite and if you're wondering why I'm using a dog-based metaphor instead of a fish-based one then I'm afraid I can't really offer an adequate explanation - maybe something fishy is going on...

The Razer Lycosa Keyboard is the company's first input device with the flat key type - similar to that of notebooks. Those never tend to be the best for gaming, but Razer has managed to eliminate any shortcomings with a perfect pressure point and rubber coated keys.

The Piranha is Razer's newest effort to conquer the budget gaming headset market. It features a noise canceling microphone and a lot of other neat features that add to the value of the product which is sold at a mere $79.99.

The Razer Pro|Click, is a wired, high sensitivity Mac gaming mouse, with same "Always on" feature common with Razer's other mice. It is an Optical mouse, like the Razer Deathadder, but it takes it shape from the Razer Copperhead. Introduced to me as a gaming solution for my Mac Pro. The white coloring is an obvious choice to match Apple's color scheme for pretty much everything that isn't silver.
