diamondback

I used to have a diamondback ~ 2-3 years ago but switched to another one for various reasons. Using my MX 518 for quite some time now and i'm getting bored of it, I find it too big, I don't really like the shape anymore and sometimes it feels like it just doesn't respond fast enough when I flick my mouse into another direction. (will break soon anyway if I remember the numerous journals correctly).

Anyone who made the switch from a mx 518 to a razer diamondback? And will it be suitable for me since I want to play with it @ 400 DPI. If not, I might aswell just buy a krait / salmosa since they are so cheap (30 EUR)

Shut your piehole if you don't know the slightest thing about mice, and stick your esreality benchmarks up your asses please.

If anybody else uses another razer mouse (boomslang, krait, lachesis, salmosa...), just fire away.

Thx in advance.

Hehhehe
you will only be able to handle that mouse if your hands equal those of a 7year old girl
It all depends on how you prefer holding your mouse.

my fingers slipped over the front edge of the buttons when I tried handling the mouse like I did with my old mx510 and ime 3.0

neither db nor ime 3.0 had the same (great) handling as the 5xx series.

btw I had exactly the same thaught (switching to a smaller, more compact mouse), but went back to logitech because I couldn't find a pleasant enough solution

I made a switched from mx518 to a Razer Deathadder after continuous problems and I think the Razer feels and performs a lot better, i know it’s not the same as the diamondback but Razer seem to know what they are doing.
What problems are we talking about?
Parent
Well the cable on my first one just failed disconnecting and connecting and that’s a known problem. On my second one my right click stopped working and all the plastic cover started peeling off. Try looking at the DeathAdder everyone I spoke to about getting a new mouse told me to get it and I don’t regret it at all, P.S. bare in mind I am not an out and out gamer.

Played with ballmouse, went to a Logitech Click mouse (opticaL) image: 41MM4ZTARTL._SL500_AA280_

after some year i decided to buy a MX510<3, played with it some year untill, the G5 came ouuuuuuuuut, then i bought it cuz i thought laser mouse was pr0. Actually i liked G5 kinda much :p
Then it broked after some years of usage, and i called Logitech and they send me a new one !

G5 v2 but they said it will take a week, So I wAs LiKe WtF i NEed To PALy, so i bought a Deadadder and i hated it after testing it. And the G5v2 did i give to father, so i used ballmouse for 2 weeks, then i decided to give deathadder a 2weeks chance !!111!11

HerE I aM I LoVe DeathADDder !!!


EDiT: had DeathAAder For A KinDa lONgTime NOw, SiNce LikE teh ReleAsE


hähähä
logitech support is lovely idd <3
Parent
yes fucking great, they were like yeah np we send a new one, 1 week later 1 guy knocked on door and gaved me it :D
Parent
i was calling because of my mx510 when he asked

'how old is your mouse?'

'uh, maybe 6 months or a year!?'

then i gave him serialnumber and he said it was 4 years old but it's np. also he mentioned they 'unfortunately don't have mx510 anymore, but maybe it would be ok if they send me a mx518'

i was like oki thanks bb :D
Parent
yeah :D

edit: i will try to do that with my mx510 :D even if it still works, can give a try atleast :D
Parent
mine was working fine aswell, just a bit old and dirty.

said mouse2 didn't work properly and sometimes the optical sensor (or w/e) was messed up. just say you use it for gaming (it's purpose) and they'll say 'oki, too bad the mouse can't fulfill it's purpose anymore, you'll get a new one' i guess..
Parent
So you just called logitech, said like " My mouse is broken ", OK just give me your serial number "1578848948", OK we'll send you a new one right away..?
Parent
you'll have to cut the usb-plug of the old mouse and send it back to logitech in exchange after your eceived your new mouse, so they make sure you're not selling your mice or whatever. reasonable considering they send you a good worth 30€
Parent
well the funny thing is, they said i should cut the usb thing and send to them, but i lost the adress so i could not send, but still they gaved me a new one after 1 week :P
Parent
i was told you're supposed to send it after you got the mouse...
Parent
oh k, but i have not even send it, 2 years ago? :D...

;D
Parent
Only if it is under warrenty
Parent
he gaved you it?
Parent
DB has FOUR buttons on sides, 2 on left and 2 on right, BUT I never could use the right side because that was so unreachable. Seriously how the hell can anyone use those 2 buttons there ? Aliens ? I used my madicpack on the left 2 buttons. Yes on the both, because it was impossible to push ONLY one.

I use DA now, much better and comportible.

Thought the exact same thing when I had my DB ;D. Nobody could reach those buttons unless you had a mutant-pinky or something. Why do you found your deathadder that much better? Looks kinda heavy to me and the shape is... weird..
Parent
Honestly this DA would be the best mouse but there is some contra:
-Its a bit heavy, i used ms1.1 before and that was brilliant light.
-I have to cut the mousefeet to little pieces for better friction (too big feet the default)
Parent
diamondback or dathadder, btw the 2 buttons on the right side of diamondback isn't for using with your pinky or something. That mouse bothhanded, so if a lefthanded player using that mouse he could use those buttons as easily as you/we are using buttons in the other side.

copperhead: EPICFAIL
Parent
tbh, the diamondback is a mouse for right and left handed players. Those buttons on the left can easily be used if you are righthanded but obivously the buttons on the right are for the lefthanded players...
Dont think their intention was to make all 4 buttons able to be pushed if you are right/lefthanded.
Parent
yep, but still you cant use only 1 button doesnt matter if you are left or right handed, because they are so small and close to eachother.
Parent
leaning with them works pretty fine for me :p might be cause I hold my mouse a little weird tho
Parent
hmm well i dont have that problem.. i can easily press and use both separately :p
Parent
just fucking buy a 5 euro ballmous and you might actually get good

h3h3h3
that was random
Parent
this matches my interests
Parent
im using db 3g,before that i used a db and its a good shape,eventho i have like big hands,or its just me,getting used to it
i had a diamond back and played on 400 dpi np.
Mine was a little faulty tho so had to replace the usb cable. I think the newer ones should be fine.
The 2 side buttons on the right are unusable unless you are left handed. I think the DB is the only mouse for lefties.
I have to agree with alexl on the deathadder. To start with i hated it and the feet but now i love it. Although i think there is some weird bug on the scroll wheel. Keep pressing mwheelup and then every now and then it throws in its own mwheeldown :S
used deathadder for quite a long time now, over a year now and i like it, feels comfortable and got used to it pretty fast
Using Razer Copperhead since 2.5 years!
Jetro, koopt u eige is ne G9 man
mx518 werkt bij mij
ask urtier, he's an expert in these things

i'm using copperhead myself and aside the occasional hardware failure it's working like a charm
MX518 I have used for years, I have tried the Krait and not liked it at all. The Diamondback 3G is another story, great mouse.
a4 tech X7 after my copperhead broke.. :<
using a 3 euro mouse that came with my laptop and I'm still pwning you la-style bitch
