MX518 or Razer diamondback?

[DejaWiz]

MX518. I've been using the wireless equivalent MX700 for the past two years and two months and it absolutely rocks. I only speak from long term experience here, as I've never used the newer Razer designs.

tarantula?

New keyboard.

sorry if i'm late to this thread. did you end up deciding which mouse you're getting? personally i would recommend the mx518. you really cant go wrong with that mouse. i have gone thru microsoft's intelli opticals and explorers, razors boomsland 2k and viper, and logitech mx300 and now the mx518.

from those experiences i would avoid ms mice altogehter. the razor viper was a bitch to understand and the ergonomics was horrid. that mouse left me with a bitter taste. even after a month of toying with it. i have had little annoances with razor's products. always something that would urk me. did i mention their mice have a huge learning curve? if you dont have patience for it dont even try getting the diamond back. u literally have to comform to the mouse.

my experience with logitech has been the best so far for gaming. right off the bat the mx518 took no less than a couple of days to get use to. you will need to play around with the settings a bit to get the right feel for you. i would recommend not using their drivers unless you absolutely need to ie to bind keys to the buttons. do not let the driver setpoint implement the "speed and acceleration" it actually tracks worst than the os implementation.

for me to better gauge what would suit you. whats your current mouse and mousepad? my hands are relatively mediumed sized. i really never had a problem holding larger or smaller mice. the mx518 would be right in the middle. my current setup is mx518 and func f30 mousepad. the func 1030 just didnt feel right after using the f30 its superior to it.

if you intend to get the g5 i would be wary it doesnt track well on some mouse surfaces particularly the func 1030.

From what i've heard the Diamondback is generally tougher and built to last. All quality stuff, which granted, logitech usually has great products....ive just been hearing that the diamondback is better for your money. DPI adjustable on teh fly too! woohoo!

Not at all. If you take a Diamondback and a MX518 and throw them hard against the wall, I'd bet on the Logitech surviving. It feels much stronger and better built than the Razer. Sensitifity is also adjustable on the fly for the MX518/G5/G7 mice.
