Razer Diamondback goes 3G
Posted on Jul 27, 07 04:19 AM PDT
No, not 3G as in the telecommunications standard, but the very same third generation infrared sensor found in the Razer Deathadder. In addition, you get a new rubberized non-slip finish that gives you total control as you dispatch of your enemies. This 3G sensor comes with a resolution of 1,800 dpi and boasts on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment. Since the mouse utilizes the familiar always on mode, it is capable of reading up to 6,400 frames per second at 15g of acceleration. Choose from red, green, or blue lightning designs to suit your taste. The Razer Diamondback 3G will be released on August 1st for $59.99. Generally, the rule of thumb is, the higher the sensitivity, the more accurate you'll be but it all boils down to personal preference. For example, some people fare better with mouse acceleration while others prefer a standard motion. What's your opinion?

lan mckenna-
It's not new generation laser, its new generation optical, just fyi.
My curiosity, is whether precision drops below 1800 dpi just like the DeathAdder 3G does in the MouseScore performance tests.

Does this new diamondback has a glow pipe like the copperhead?

Hi Ian,
I normally go for 2 to 3 on a scale of 10 as I prefer larger sweeping motions. No mouse acceleration for me though - could never get the hang of it. Hence, my mouse area is roughly as large as the keyboard area :)

I like a 7-8 sensitivity on a scale of 1-10. it keeps your wrist on the gel pad but won't make you spin 180 degrees just from a twitch in your wrist.
I don't have a clue why the new generation laser is so much better... The diamondback i have right now is incredible though.
