    Diamondback aswell. I switched back to the MX510 for a while (my Diamondback broke) and it's odd how sluggish it feels. I guess I just prefer high sens, and the DB is so damn smooth on my (cloth) mousemat.

    I've been using a Logi dual optical for the past 2-3 years, lovely mouse but the feet need replacing (anyone got any leads?).

    I'm awaiting delivery of an MX518 (bought for the colour really - matches my Cherry keyboard). The Razors always seemed too bulky and unwieldy to me. I don't have tiny hands by any means, but I don't want early onset of RSI and wrist-strain from pushing such a lump around the mat.

    The Diamondback is anything but bulky. If anything, it's smaller than the MX518. I'll compare the two later side by side, but the Diamondback is flatter and lighter (or feels lighter anyway).

    (I have small hands, I hope)

    I'd say the Razer for gaming - I use an MX1000 which I find quite good, but then again I'm not 100% a gamer.

    have the mx518 meself and i love it, although i've never used the diamond back so i cant really compare

    MX1000 is wireless isn't it?

    faeg :)

    wireless keyboard/mouse for media PCs and that's about it.

    I much prefer the rayzer for gaming.
    Buuut, each to his own, I suppose.
