4.0 out of 5 stars Response to the previous review, March 14, 2008
This review is from: Razer Diamondback Earth Green (Personal Computers)
This is more of a response to a review as well as my own. This isn't to start any arguements but I sensed a lot of bias from the review as well as some misinformation (such as the sensor's quality and DPI in realation to perfect control)

3G Cons:
1.) Nobody knows what a 3G infra-red sensor really is, so this could be just a marketing ploy to make you think it is superior somehow.

The 3G infra-red sensor is Razer's 3rd generation optical(non laser) sensor. Esreality did a mousescore chart that measures the sensors rate of perfect control and malfunction and found that the sensor is THE BEST gaming mouse on the market at the moment. google their deathadder review for more indepth explanation

2.) Razer claims the cord is non-tangle but it is regular plastic cord that comes with any cheap mouse so I don't know why they claimed that as a feature of their mouse.

I won't comment on this because it does resemble my old dell mouse cord, but this cord never tangled for me and never really posed a problem, if you find the cord gets in your way too much or make a mess you can purchase something to weigh it down like a mouse bungee or razer's cable management product(the name escapes me at the moment) its extra money but its good for every other mouse you may get in the future or you can use tape or something to weigh the cable down.

3.) 2 side buttons are joined which is stupid because you have to think about it too much to figure out which button you want to press. Worthless if your survival depends on it you might press the wrong side button. The new blue G5 with 2 side buttons is better because you can subconsciously feel the 2 separate buttons and use the correct one without thinking.

I agree, this is the biggest flaw with the diamondback design..

4.) New self praised 3G technology came out later tha the G5 and it does not even match the DPI, instead you only get 1800 DPI.

G5 uses a laser technology that altho gives better dpi, they will lose perfect control faster then a optical sensor, the 3G sensor has been proven to have a much higher point of perfect control which is the most important aspect especially since the 1800dpi is already overkill on most resolutions

the rest of his points are really his own personal preference regarding the lights(aestheic value) reading the sensitivity chart(the 1-10 thing is easier for me to determine the sensitivity) and the gold plated usb is incorperated by many top brand gaming mice such as SteelSeries' Ikari

the major problems with this mouse is
- I've heard the mouse feet may wear out pretty fast.. this mouse is still new for me so i can't comment on that - my 2 year old diamondback's feet has visible wear on the feet but still glide perfectly on the mat. Razer used to give free mousefeet replacements but I think they stopped, new Mousefeet can be purchased from everglide I believe.

- The placement and the way the side buttons are made, I can't count the times i've accidently clicked these buttons on my old diamondback.. the way my hand rest on the mouse is uncomfortable too

- The drivers could be more advanced, they seem like the old diamondback's drivers with the 3g's picture pasted on it.. the drivers also offer no way to change the polling rate so the DB is stuck at 125hz.. although perfect control won't be affected by it, you will have an 8ms response time instead of the 1ms from a 1000hz polling rate. I've personally never noticed the difference, having used both the 125hz plasma Diamondback and the 1000hz Copperhead.

ultimately I'll give it 4 stars because this is the second revision of this mouse body and they've done it right with the copperhead's sidebutton placement and the Deathadder's 1000hz polling rate. Shame they couldn't incorperate this into the new Diamondback

Sorry for the grammar, I've misplaced my glasses and its early =/

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Gaming Mouse ..., May 21, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Razer Diamondback Earth Green (Personal Computers)
I have been using the Razer Diamondback for over two years now for FPS gaming, and this mouse is built to take the punishment. The micro switches are extremely durable and can take the heavy-handed button mashing. This updated model is no exception, and now it's 1800 dpi! I highly recommend this mouse, and at this price, you can't beat it.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite mouse by a large margin. Smooth as silk and accurate., January 23, 2011

This review is from: Razer Diamondback Earth Green (Personal Computers)
I purchased this mouse not for gaming but for business use. After spending a lot of time fighting with Crystal Reports using an inferior mouse, I decided to invest in a high resolution gaming mouse. I liked what I had heard about the Razer product line and the Diamondback was attractively priced. After a couple years of use, I now use this mouse exclusively for work and play on my desktop and laptop. I've not regretted the purchase for a single instant.

The form factor feels good in my hand, and the motion is silky smooth. Note that I use hard mouse pads rather than the more popular floppy foam types. For applications that require mouse precision, such as Crystal Reports, Photoshop, and FPS games, this mouse is difficult to beat. Just the ability to quickly resize fields in complex Crystal Reports allowed this mouse to pay for itself in a matter of days. The mouse wheel has a nice feel and works well. I like the green glow and translucent look. This mouse is as attractive as it is effective.

My only complaint has been with the small mouse buttons on the sides. Perhaps some gamers find these useful, but I find them to be awkwardly placed and easy to hit accidentally. I have disabled them and now all is well in my world.
