Conclusions
Wow…what a mouse! The Razer Diamondback is an impressively powerful device,
and is certainly worthy of the name. The only real gripe I had was that the
four side buttons are placed a little too far back to be really useful, but
that’s it! I’ve taken this mouse out on the town a bit…everywhere from the IT
labs on campus to the local LAN hangout and this chromatic green Diamondback
has managed to draw a small crowd every time. This new model is more forgiving
of the pad you use it on despite the increased dpi, and you will certainly
have a killer setup if you pair this mouse up with the Razer eXactMat. If you
are on the fence between the Viper and the Diamondback, I would definitely
recommend the Diamondback. I will say that this might be too much mouse for
the day to day user who does not really get into FPS gaming, but if you are
this is definitely the mouse of choice. Retail price for the Diamondback is
$60.00 USD, a scant ten dollars more than the Viper. Due to its gaming
excellence, the Diamondback wins our “Extreme Excellence” award. We hope Razer
keeps up the good work and we can’t wait to see what they come up with next!
