Razer Diamondback
Razer has shown us many mice over the years. The Diamondback is what they consider to be their best optical gaming mouse available. Previously, we reviewed the Razer Pro|Solutions lineup and I am not seeing many differences here, but let's take a look.






Aesthetics: 5 / 5
Razer was kind enough to send their Razer Diamondback Plasma Limited Edition. Needless to say this mouse is stunning. That's all I have to say.

Ergonomics / Grip: 4 / 5
Razer has always said that their mice take a bit of getting used to. The Diamondback is no exception. I have learned how to use my fingertips to guide this mouse via the rubber side rails. It's symmetrical design makes it easy to use for both left-handed and right-handed gamers. The mouse very comfortable, but loses a point for the learning curve that accompanies it.

Buttons: 4.5 / 5
With 7 programmable buttons, this mouse is a dream for a button freak. However, to use the pinky side buttons can be a pain and they are best left at their default setting for changing the dpi. The buttons on the left would have been better left separate than connected, but they recover a bit by making them very easy to access along the rubber side rails.

Weight: 4.5 / 5
As with all Razer mice, this mouse was extremely light and easy to manipulate.

Glide Factor: 4 / 5
This is one area I have always expected more out of from Razer, yet they stick with what they have. They utilize 3 teflon feet in all. Two miniscule ones towards the fron and a larger curved one in the back. Because the mouse is so light the lack of feet in quantity

Features: 4 / 5
The Razer diamondback comes with one great feature that is well implemented and that is On-The-Fly Sensitivity adjustment. To adjust your sensitivity, just uses the buttons on the right side for going up or down. Well done. The only thing that makes it imperfect is is the lack of a way to tell what level of sensitivity you are at while in game.

Price: $39.99
