Theres also some issue with it measuring the z-axis. you can’t program the side keys to be held down, they’re on auto-fire.

I think it is due to the surface it is used on and the aggression of their laser sensor. I can use a G5 on a hard mousing mat (I use a Tracer by Cyber Snipa) and it works great, or a Diamondback 3G or regular DB works fine. But the Lachesis does not. I think it picks up any slight piece of dust and just goes haywire. This is my theory anyway. It seems to deal best with the thin, foam mousepads. I read (have not tested) that the thick mousepads can throw it off as well because of the "give" they have when it is double-clicked. Anyhow, Razer is supposedly releasing a driver tomorrow for the Lachesis that resolves some if not all of these problems. I have one, so we'll see if it does or not. I sure hope it's a firmware update and not just a software driver fix! I have this skipping problem with the Lachesis.

One didn't work until I upgraded the firmware, the other gives me hand cramps and the third one requires me to replug it if the computer has started from a cold boot. So I have to say; I can't wait to find the hidden flaw in this one! Razer mice have such potential, I bought 3 different mice from Razer.
