Razer Diamondback 3G Gaming Mouse
Conclusion
The Diamondback 3G is control where other devices are just paths to it. In every way it's better than the Plasma (except maybe aesthetics--I liked the smoked shell). It's a shame Razer doesn't put forth the effort to make the rest of the package as good. If they improved the software, made it more versatile, they'd guarantee a greater market share, and there would be a lot less division among gamers about their otherwise exemplary mice. It's perhaps this oversight that keeps people from appreciating Razer's products most. Instead of seeing an intemerate medium of gaming kinesis, people look at a Diamondback and see a mouse fleeced of finish. And the truth is between the two. The mouse only has one purpose, which is to command games. It's not immediately easy to use, it doesn't have any captivating features, and it won't help you in any conceivable way. That's what makes it a great gaming device. There's nothing but two buttons and seven feet of metal between you and your target. So, no, it's not really cut out for spreadsheets. Despite itself, the steely, accurate, and severe Diamondback 3G is my gaming mouse of choice. I know I'm in a minority.  Pros Excellent balance Unequivocal control Great sensor Cons Just for gaming Under-developed software Matter of preference--you can take it or leave it
