    Depends on how you grip a mouse - claw, palm, etc.

    Me too, and I use the Razer Diamondback 3G. It's an ambidextrous mouse though, which bothers some people. Not sure what your opinion is of that.

    I personally came from a logitech g5 (which still runs and works fine but now on other pc) to a Razer Lachesis and I really like it.

    It isnt exactly what I would have liked as I am more of a palm user than a claw user coming from the G5, but going to a Deathadder would have actually been a downgrade for me as far as specs, so i sacrifice the palm specific to a palm/claw of the Lachesis but its worth it for the performance upgrade. I use it on a rocketfish aluminum based gaming pad as well.

    Looking at the mamba, it looks like it would be perrrrfect for me, but its just way too expensive, so if you dont mind the shape and have the money id highly reccomend the lachesis from razer

    The Deathadder has a great feel, I suggest that. I owned both the Diamondback and the Copperhead and the Deathadder is more comfortable than both.

    I currently use a Boomslang CE 2007.

    For those two, I'd suggest try them out yourself. The DA is lighter, side buttons are larger. mouse clicks are also lighter (personal opinion). Its all about personal preference.

    And for the G5's end in comparison, the G5 has a bit more of a shaped feel to it (esp for palm type) and I want to say the G5 has a little higher specs on it and idk if they do it any more but has adjustable weight (mine did)

    Please stay on-topic in this thread; it is about the differences between Razer mice models. Feel free to start another thread if you want to compare to different brands.

    Right, but this thread is about Razer mice and not Logitech. Like I said, start another thread if you want to do comparisons w/ Logitech.

    w3rd I suppose.

    I'm too used and a fan of Razer to easily go back to Logitech anyway ;)

    the thing is, i live in the Philippines and i can't test different razer mouse because i have only one supplier who will special order it from abroad and he will only order one at a time with no replacement :( a deathadder here will cost around 5,000 pesos or around $100 :eek:

    Woah, what? How much would it cost to have it shipped there? Can't be 50 bucks... If you paid in advance, I'd be willing to buy from .Newegg and ship to you.

    Heya boypogi, I live in the Philippines as well. There are places in Greenhills and Gilmore where they sell razer mice at reasonable prices. Deathadder usually goes around for 2,500 pesos not 5,000 ;)

    Oh and I personally use the Deathadder as well. I find it very comfortable and very light. Having a good mousepad also helps a lot.
