7-Nov-2007 Another fine Razer rodent

Another fine Razer rodent, now updated. The '3G' in the Diamondback's name refers to the third-generation infrared optics borrowed from its cousin the DeathAdder.

As with the DeathAdder, the new Diamondback is light, accurate, and a real delight to use when shooting people down their internet.

It's a symmetrical design, making it suitable for both right- and wrong-handed gamers, and is also shorter and narrower than many rivals - its non-slip surface and slippery feet help it feel like a part of you.

Be warned that if you have large hands, you'll find your fingers jumping back and forth like some demented spider when you need to switch quickly between front and side clickers or to reach the scrollwheel.

However, like the Krait, the Diamondback is comfortable for day-long desktop use once you've learned to rest your hand further back than at first seems natural.
