The fact that you have the sensor placed a little further to the front compared to the DeathAdder makes it feel a bit more responsive. Maybe it's just a question of time before Razer apply the same fix to the Diamondback 3G's firmware.Īfter trying the mouse at low sensitivity I moved on to medium sensitivity and here the mouse was even better in my opinion due to the shape and size of the mouse. I remember Razer trying to sort this problem out with firmware updates for the DeathAdder and they were somewhat successful at reducing the lift off distance. I tested this on the mats I had laying around and it seems that the problem is worst on black surfaces. With just the standard mouse feet attached you have to lift the mouse relatively high up before it stops moving the cursor around. The only problem I had with the mouse is that it isn't wide enough for me to grip it properly.Ī little problem that affects low sensitivity gamers the most is the lift-off distance. It proved to be just as accurate as the DeathAdder and performed equally well at coping with fast hand movement. I started off by using my normal sensitivity and the mouse did a great job at keeping track of my movement. To begin with I started CounterStrike:Source which is a fast paced FPS game. In game mouse acceleration and smoothing was of course turned off through the entire test. All of the tests were done with the CPL mousefix installed to remove mouse acceleration completely. To test the capabilities of this mouse I started off by using a low sensitivity and then moved on up through medium to high sensitivity settings, carefully noting how the mouse performed and how it changes through the sensitivity scale.
I have tried to put the mouse through three likely scenarios in my game test. PerformanceSince there isn't a benchmark program for mice the following is just my opinion of what type of performance this mouse can offer. Instead of a gaming grade driver all you get is an upgraded standard driver which is far from good, considering both price and quality of the mouse.
I was hoping for a fully customized driver with all of the main performance aspects covered. Overall the driver for the Diamondback 3G was less featured than expected. you can have universal scrolling on one of the side button or on-the-fly sensitivity control on the scroll wheel button. It lets you assign any type of function to all of the buttons, i.e. When it comes to button assignment the Diamondback 3G driver is just as good as any of Razer's drivers.
