Less than portrayed [Posted on 2007-02-16]
Got this 3 weeks ago and although it is fast the side bars [forward and reverse{L&R}] are dummies and misrepresented. Scroll bar is rough and clunky so whats left? This mouse would be ok in the $11-16 range as Logitec has much better and Laser for 1/2 the price. If it didnt cost so much to send it back I would. Buy A logitec, best mouse on the market-I have 3...Steve a

Not for smaller hands [Posted on 2007-02-22]
This mouse is very elongated for smaller (adult female) hands so I can't rest my wrist on my mousepad wrist wrest and still reach the scroll wheel or the buttons. I find that after prolonged use my hand and wrist hurt. From an aesthetic only point of view, this mouse isn't what I wanted either. I bought it because it was described as "green" and while it's about half greenish-black metallic, it lights up red on the sides and top which makes it look more brown than green (kinda ugly, actually). I am giving it to my husband and looking for something else...

Best mouse I've tried, a bit senstive [Posted on 2007-02-25]
My favorite mouse before was the Intellimouse Optical. Not the explorer, not the wireless; the original beige with silver buttons half-moon shaped one. It just seemed to fit my hand well, and the side buttons were big and easy to press on each side. I bought the Razer Diamonback's from [...] for about [...]when they had them (bought 2 to save on shipping, and hoped they'd be as good).

Comfort/Ergonomics:

The buttons are large and very easy to click, while still being tactile and definite in their action. The fit is good, albeit a little long. I had to get used to where to place my hand on it, but now it's very comfortable. I had to unlearn how I perched my fingers like I was going to claw into the button, like on normal mice... now I lay my fingers flat, using the entire underside to press the button. The side buttons are very small, and a bit hard since they're doubled (front and back, 1 inch long). However, due to gestures I've stopped using side buttons so I don't really care anymore. The mouse is light weight and moves smoothly.

Performance:
The movement is very sensitive, I've had to turn my sensitivity down in windows. Also, I had to get used to double clicking since normally I budge the mouse a little moving it in between clicks (that can throw off the double click, resulting instead in two normal clicks). I've gotten over that now and don't notice it. The movement is smooth and gratifying (especially compared to lesser-quality optical mice).

Build:
The mouse seems built well, not very heavy but still of good quality. The cable is thin and light (better not to interfere with the mouse movement), the USB connector is gold plated.

Problems:
Sometimes when rebooting the computer, the mouse will not turn on. Unplugging it and plugging it back in will fix this. The manual acknowledges this problem, saying that gaming mice draw more power and to make sure this is on a powered hub. Using a powered hub seems to help, but does not alleviate the problem completely. However, this doesn't happen often enough to annoy me.


Overall, I'm very pleased with this mouse. It just fits, works well, feels of good quality. Definitely recommended.

Nice ergonomic grip and a pleasure to use [Posted on 2008-01-25]
I use this for playing and at work. I especially like that I can use it both right and left handed. On linux I just set 'xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1 4 5 6 7" ' an it works just as well

This mouse is great when it's working. And ya better keep you original receipt because when it needs warranty work they want it. 2 yr warranty not as good as microsofts 5yr. And It often does not work at start up...you have to unplug it and plug it back it to usb. (Not my 1st razer either)
But I must say I'm WAY put off by there customer support. My left click button went dead early and with no receipt they would do nothing. Microsoft if no questions asked. Too bad too cuz it's a great mouse when it's working.
