I was under the impression that the mice still had onboard memory. Then again, I am not following this. What I do know is that the Razer Lachesis is fucking awesome.

According to what I read. Unless you kept your Synapse software under version 2, you're be required to be clouded whether your razer hardware is new or old.

Its shitty that even hardware is moving on to DRM. But it looks like there may be an offlin mode to use once your mouse is set up online. Maybe that will help incase you want to play with out internet on.

Still is stupid that it requires that, and it cements that its logitech only for me now. Unless they go the same route.

 

Well after reading it more, I am not even sure if its a true offline mode. it looks like it still may data mine even in offline mode. If so thats a load of crap.
