Lachesis new Firmware and Driver released! Fix Axis Lock.

Razer has released the new driver and firmware for Razer Lachesis, the highest end 3G Laser Mouse in their inventory.

Previously, this mouse has problems. Cursor drift and Axis Lock are 2 major problems.

Cursor drift is the drifting (movement) of the mouse cursor when a small movement is made. Axis Lock is the problem that the cursor could only move in the horizontal/vertical axis when you move the mouse.

Razer Lachesis 1.64 Official Firmware

After so many months, Razer has released the first driver/firmware update for Lachesis, the top-of-the-line Laser Mouse.

You can refer to this post for issues regarding Lachesis.

You can download the driver from Razer website.

Razer Lachesis “Cursor Drift and Axis Lock” fix (beta)

If you are an owner of the “Bringer of Slient Death”, the top of the line Razer Mice, Lachesis, you might encounter 2 issues while using it.

  1. Cursor Drift: While you are moving your mouse, suddenly the cursor ‘drift’ to somewhere else on the screen. Irritating when you are playing FPS game.
  2. Axis Lock: While moving your mouse, you can’t move it up or down, but the cursor can move horizontally, or vice versa. Also very irritating.

I also own a Lachesis and living with the problems ever since Day 1.

The original firmware that came with your mouse is v1.00, which is the buggy one.

Now, Razer has beta firmware for Lachesis and I have tested it. So far, the ‘drifting’ and ‘locking’ have not been occuring. The firmware update is a breeze. You just have to replug your Lachesis after the firmware update is done.
