From the Manufacturer The Adesso RZ-1610 Diamondback has a total of 7 physical buttons which can be independently programmed via the included Razer software. If that isn't enough, the Diamondback has a 1600 dpi optical sensor, 16-bit data path, and of course the on-the-fly sensitive adjustment. This mouse also comes with all new colors, chameleon green and translucent flaming Magma/salamander red. If you spend a lot of time online racking up kills, you need a mouse that feels less like a hunk of plastic and more like an extension of your hand. With a more sensitive optical mouse, you get the ability to cover more ground with your cursor or target reticle with less hand movement and greater precision. With its scrollwheel, two main buttons, and pair of buttons on either side of the ambidextrous mouse, anyone who's accustomed to complex mice with lots of application-switching and zooming buttons will probably miss those extra features. On the other hand, graphics professionals or even amateur photo enthusiasts and artists will appreciate the increased optical resolution.Key FeaturesOptical engine powered by kŠrna precision 1600 dpi, twice that of conventional high performance sensors High speed motion detection, up to 40ips and 15g Frame rate over 6400 frames per second (5.8 megapixels per second) 16 bit data path, as compared to 8 bit and 12 bit data paths used by other conventional mice Always On Mode Ð the optical sensor never powers down - provides instantaneous response at all times during gameplay Buttons Ð 7 physical buttons optimized for gaming response and independently programmable Ultra large non-slip mouse buttons, tactile response design Non-slip side rails and new ergonomic ambidextrous design Zero acoustic feet for smooth motion over any surface Gold plated USB connector for maximum conductivity Size: 5.04" length x 2.5" width x 1.54" height 7 foot, lightweight, non-tangle cord Award winning Razer drivers featuring On-the-Fly sensitivity adjustment Chameleon Green and Magma (red) translucent chassis options available Comes with custom designed Razer Diamondback Lan-Pack for storage and transport.

The hype is true -- this mouse is awesome!
I play Battlefield FPS games (Vietnam, 42, BF2), and this mouse helped me decrease the time needed to aquire targets. This mouse is perfect for doing head shots as the sniper class.The Red Diamondback has a side button that allows you to toggle between 1600 and 800 dpi modes making it easy to switch back to normal desktop operation. Although, sometimes in a frenzy I accidentally hit this button when I don't mean to (See con #1).I like this mouse better than the other colors because the red lazer is accompanied by red LEDs inside the unit. It is transparent and looks quite cool. I've not had any problems with the mouse synching at startup, though I have a newer Intel mainboard.The mousewheel operation is very smooth. The left/right buttons make an audible 'click' sound. I also own the Logitech MX wireless mouse (800dpi), and I like the click action of the buttons better on the MX, but I like everything else about the Razer Diamondback.Also, since owning the Logitech MX I will never use a wireless mouse for FPS gaming. The ability to send information through a cord on a USB 2.0 channel seems much more solid than a cordless mouse that requires batteries or recharging. Sometimes in the middle of a game my Logitech cordless MX mouse would require recharging and I'd have to switch to a wired 400dpi mouse I had lying around.In addition, the Razer Diamondback doesn't have annoying driver software that Logitech does, which frequently asks you to upgrade it.Cons:1. The toggle between 1600 and 800 dpi has no indicator, and the toggle button is sensitive and sometimes I press it accidentally with my thumb. So I have to toggle the button, and guess-and-check until I can perceive it's back on 1600 dpi setting. An LED indicator would be helpful to tell me which setting it is on.2. Must download drivers from The Web. Albeit this is minor and done with quickly, you must have Internet connection.On the whole:If you can get the mouse for forty bucks or less, go for it. It is not perfect (see con #1), but makes gaming a little more fun because of the precision and ease of aquiring head shots. Sniper rifles take on a whole new level of enjoyment with this mouse.Rated 4 stars due to con #1, but definitely worth the purchase if you're an avid FPS gamer.

They sweated the details on this mouse
I'm not a gamer.I bought this mouse for ergo reasons. And because I spend enough of my life at the computer that there's no reason to have anything other than the hottest equipment.I switched from the Logitech MX-510, the other hot gamer's mouse series. They're functionally very similar, but the Razer Diamondback has been far superior (for me) in practice! Here's the breakdown:Razer Diamondback pros:- Better ergo I: Smaller size that fits more naturally in your palm, in better "at rest" position, than the Logitech. (At least for my desk and my hand.)- Better ergo II: Also, the way your fingers rest on the (slip-proof) main mouse buttons is more relaxed. In particular, it feels like I'm easily using my whole finger. The Logitech in comparison was awkward, felt like I was using only part of my finger, or never quite was settled right.- More buttons, or at least more buttons available for reasonable use.- Left and Right side buttons much more comfortable to click.- More programmable? At least in practice, more easily programmable, so I did customie more.- Great driver and control panel applet to set options for the mouse. This really helped me get more use out of it.- Nice work on software details; e.g. "on-the-fly sensitivity" adjustment, without going back to Control Panel, just with controls on the mouse.Logitech MX-510 pros:- The Logitech has two buttons, one each above and below the scroll wheel, that mean "keep scrolling in that direction." So you roll the wheel in one direction, and when your finger hits the end of the roll, you can just move to the button right there to say "keep going." Nice. I'll miss that. (But I've already adjusted the scroll speed conveniently several times on the Razer to where I'll miss it less; I never (or at most once?) adjusted the scroll speed on the Logitech.)These kinds of choices can be very personal. But in my experience, you couldn't get me to go back to the Logitech now.
