Razer Lachesis mouse control's mapping.

VectorRoll · 03-04-2008, 09:59 PM

First off the new mouse is great. I like the feel of it and it has great precession and sensitivity. It is very comfortable to me and I am getting use to the feel real fast.

Now on to the main subject of my thread.:
I have posted a question about this mouse in the US forums and also have posted in the Razer's blog on it. I have yet to get an answer about it in the Razer's blog and the reply I got in the US forums was a guy that has the same mouse only was able to confirm my problem without finding a fix.

The problem I am having is that I am trying to map the crouch button (LCtrl) to one of the buttons on the side of the mouse. I can get it to map their. But not the way that works. When you press and hold the button it makes the soldier do a bobbing motion like I walalalalaing the crouch button relatively. I need it to make the soldier to stay in the crouch position until I let go of the button.

I am trying to see if their is someone in these forums that may have the same mouse and might have been able to find a way to do this.

I have the latest Driver and Firmware for it. Although; I think that I might have to wait for some newer ones. Yet; I would like to find a fix for it right now.

Any help would be appreciated.

Never mind I found the fix. It was so simple and staring me right in the face. I just had to leave the buttons to their default settings and map them in the game. LOL
What an idiot I am. LOL

LOL

I've tried to do the same thing with my Razer Habu and it's affecting my aiming when push the button for crouch,if I try to shoot in the same time...Might be different if you use to after a while,for now I find difficult to aim,plus that I have a bad lalalalala connection... suck$...

Yeah... It does get some use to when you first set it up. I have been using that method for some time now.
I still have to get use to this one. I am still in the process of trying to find just the right sensitivity and other settings. So far it is working great.
My main problem with Mice is that I get a sweaty palm. and I am a palm grip instead of a clam. With this mouse it has a different placement were merging the both seems to work better. They have a description in their blog on this.

I really like the Razer mice. They seem to feel and work a lot better than any other I have had before. And I have had many before.

Agree,I used logitech MX Revolution before and I bought this one for my brother but I've tried first.Now my brother has a ''brand new'' MX Rev and I fall inlove with Habu,which is much better and much easier to setup.I hope he's never gone a read this thread...LOL

VectorRoll · 04-04-2008, 02:28 AM

LOL
Yeah hopefully.
My last Razer was a Copperhead.
Every Logitech I have had has <raped out on me. I will not be buying any of them any time soon.

What do you think about G15 the keyboard I mean...

VectorRoll · 04-04-2008, 04:49 AM

Their Keyboards are great. I love the G15.
It is their Mice that are a pain.
I have RivaTuner set to show my Temps on my LCD at all times for the G15. In fact that is all I use it for now. I can have any of the monitors for RivaTuner show up on the LCD screen. I use to use it to show my bf2142 info but it was sort of point less because I can just you the basic game displays for that on the main monitor. When I used to play SWG I would either have it set to show certain info from that game or have it to show chat from Teamspeak or other programs. It is a very useful thing to have.
I also like the way that I can map macros for it. I use macros in MMORPG games and I am working on some for the Star Trek Legacy game that I am trying out. Yet I find macros useless in FPS games. In FPS games you have to constantly adapt your game-play to the battle and I find it cheap when some one makes a macro for an FPS game. Like those ones for spamming grenades. Now I do not mind the practice of mapping certain Keys to other buttons; like the fire Key to one of the G keys on the G15 keyboard. It helps for using the sniper rifle. That way you can keep the aim (mouse) steady when you hit fire.

On another note. I was just messing around with the DPI on the configurator for my new mouse and noticed that I can adjust it any where from 125 to 4000 in increments of 25. I like that feature. I have all 5 profiles set now and was trying them out a bit. I had to really lower the sensitivity down. This mouse can get to be very sensitive. I have it set to 7 or just under 7. I have not messed with any of the acceleration yet. i did turn off the Lights. It adds heat to the palm area. I am also keeping all of them at 500Hz for the polling rate. I can set it either to 125hz, 500Hz, or 100Hz. I find that keeping them all on one for all of the profiles allows the mouse to switch between the profiles better. If I set it to say 500hz and the other to 1000Hz it well take longer for the mouse to switch between those profiles.
