While it has many similarities, there are several key
differences. For a start, unlike the G903, this mouse
looks great. The silver version isn’t as nice as black,
but it’s still much classier than Logitech’s offering.
The ergonomics and button layout are a bit
more familiar and approachable, too. You get a
normal lightweight scroll wheel and DPI buttons
that are in line, rather than next to each other.
However, you don’t get the removable buttons of
the G903 so you’ll just have to disable, via software,
the buttons on the side you don’t use.
Perhaps the biggest surprise is that it uses a
laser sensor, where optical is still the gamers choice.
This alone would put many off getting this over the
G903, though some users do still prefer laser,
particularly if you use a hard mousemat or if you use
your mouse on a tabletop.
There’s not enough here to push the Lancehead
to the top. It’s good for left-handed Razer
fans but the G903 or the Mamba are
better for right-handed users.RAZER LANCEHEAD

The Lancehead is Razer’s newest wireless mouse and
it’s a competitor to the Logitech G903. Like that mouse,
it has an ambidextrous design, and crucially it lacks the
charging dock that makes the Razer Mamba more pricey.
