SWITCHING DPI You can switch between DPI in three ways: a) By selecting the desired DPI in the Razer LachesisTM software driver. b) By assigning the function to a button via the Razer Configurator in the main window. c) By cycling through the DPI settings using the default DPI buttons.

Choose a mouse button and select Advanced Functions from its dropdown menu. 3. Click on the Macro button in the Advanced Functions panel. 4. Type in the desired sequence of keystrokes. You can also include delays by clicking on "INSERT DELAY (50ms)" 5. Click APPLY when done. SWITCHING PROFILES You can switch between profiles in three ways: a) By selecting the active profile in the Razer LachesisTM software driver. b) By assigning the function to a button via the Razer Configurator in the main window. c) By using the Profile button located at the bottom of the mouse. Pressing the Profile button will advance one Profile. Example 1: Selecting Profile 5 to be activated upon loading of Program A 1. Open up the Razer LachesisTM Driver Control. 2. Click on the Profile Selection tab. 3. Select Profile 5. 4. Under Profile Name, double-click the field to enter name for the profile. 5.

When the active profile is switched, the Razer LachesisTM will flash the corresponding number of times ­ For example, if Profile 3 is activated, the mouse will flash three times to indicate the profile you have selected. It will record the currently-active Profile even if turned off and will boot up in the active Profile. ON-THE-FLY SENSITIVITYTM If "On-The-Fly SensitivityTM" has been assigned to a button, pressing that assigned button and moving the scroll wheel will produce a bar at the lower right-hand corner of your screen, allowing you to dynamically adjust your sensitivity settings. This feature requires the driver to be installed. DRIVER AND FIRMWARE UPDATES You'll be able to update the RazerTM driver software and firmware by clicking UPDATE in the upper right hand corner of the panel. This will connect you to www.razerzone.com for the latest driver and firmware downloads. RESTORING FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS To reset the Razer LachesisTM to factory default settings, press and hold the Profile Button for 10 seconds while the Razer LachesisTM is connected to a powered-on computer. 1 2 | For Gamers. by Gam ers .t m www.razerzone.com | 13 advanced settinGs Guide Sensitivity Mouse sensitivity is an internal filter of the driver. The maximum sensitivity setting of 10 is unfiltered. Each incremental stop or setting is a 10% decrease, i.e. Setting 1 will decrease mouse pointer input to 10% (i.e. a linear graph). Acceleration Acceleration is an internal filter of the driver, and is primarily a legacy option for low dpi mice users. With acceleration enabled, how fast you swipe the mouse will translate to a corresponding increase in movement onscreen. Windows® XP has acceleration turned on by default as a convenience for users. However, this is on the assumption that everyone uses 400dpi mice, so this will likely be a hindrance to most gamers and precision users who require greater accuracy. The `acceleration off' option (default) turns off internal acceleration only and does not affect Windows® XP acceleration, which can be turned off via the Control Panel > Mouse > Pointer Options, and unselecting the `Enhance Pointer Precision' option. Windows® Pointer Speed Pointer speed refers to the Windows® implementation of sensitivity. In Windows® XP, a setting of `5' means there is no filtering (default). This section has been included for user convenience. 1 4 | For Gamers. by Gamers .t m DPI Switcher ­ Resolution Resolution refers to the number of counts per inch of movement sent by the mouse hardware to the OS. E.g. 500dpi means that a movement of one inch will result in 500 counts of movement. Without any of the above filters operating, this will result in 500 pixels of movement on the screen. Independent X- and Y-Axis Settings You can preset the X-axis (horizontal) and Y-axis (vertical) sensitivity levels independently. When this feature is enabled, a new on-the-fly interface bar will appear onscreen to allow further sensitivity adjustments. 3. Do not take mouse apart (doing so will void your warranty) and do not attempt to service it yourself or operate it under abnormal current loads. 4. Keep mouse away from liquid, humidity or moisture. Operate it only within the specified temperature range of 0°C(32°F) to 40°C(104°F). Should you operate it in a temperature that is beyond this range, unplug and switch off the device to let the temperature stabilize within the optimal temperature range. COMFORT Research has shown that long periods of repetitive motion, improper positioning of your computer peripherals, incorrect body position, and poor habits may be associated with physical discomfort and injury to nerves, tendons, and muscles. Below are some guidelines to avoid injury and ensure optimum comfort while using your Razer LachesisTM . 1. Position your keyboard and monitor directly in front of you with your mouse next to it. Place your elbows next to your side, not too far away, and with your mouse within easy reach. 2. Adjust the height of your chair and ...
