Conclusion
This was a very difficult round-up to complete because of the many differences, however, I believe we found a testing approach that worked very well. We had 2 mice from every major manufacturer of mice in the gaming industry. To recap these were each category’s standings and the conclusion I drew from each.

Optical

The Razer Diamondback was our winner by over half a point and for good reason. The Diamonback not only has great aesthetic quality, but provides performance and precision consistently. The others have some minor improvement that are necessary for competition in the market. Good luck to you three in the future.

Laser

The Logitech G5 is quite simply an amazing mouse with phenomenal aesthetics, features, and precision. A job well done to the Logitech team in their design of this mouse. Its only flaw was the lack of a fifth button which will hopefully be seen in their next gaming mouse as it was in previous Logitech mice. To the rest of our contenders, we hope to see the improvements made in future products and can’t wait to see what comes out of these companies in the aftermath of this round-up.
