razer copperhead vs diamondback 3g

I've narrowed down my choices to two, the copperhead and the new diamondback. Are there any major differences between them?

 

you sure you don't want the deathadder? or possibly the new lachesis that's coming out in november?

 

well the diamondback is optical and the copperhead is laser. the copperhead has more buttons. and the diamondback is cheaper.

 

did you even consider a g5?

 

Yes, I did. I tried a G5, copperhead for a very short time, and a deathadder, also for a very short time. Only the copperhead felt natural to me. The lachesis is most definitely overkill for my m1330 ><
How does the 3g sensor compare to the laser on the copperhead?

 

well i have a diamondback which is awesome. have you tried out both? just pick which ever feels more comfortable.

 

I had a Diamondback for a year and then I upgraded to the Copperhead which I have been using for over a year now.

Here's what I like about the Copperhead over the Diamondback:
-No more shiny material in the palm area
-Better-placed side buttons
-Better scroll wheel
-Pulsing logo in palm rest area

For me the Copperhead was a pleasing upgrade over the Diamondback. You can't go wrong with either in my opinion but I'd recommend the Copperhead.

As noted have you considered the DeathAdder? Extremely good ratings - I haven't tried it myself but if I was looking for a gaming mouse it would be on my list.

 

The deathadder sounds amazing, but it doesn't fit my hand well. I find it too bulky ><

So definitely copperhead?

 

Either will be an awesome investment. I used a Diamondback from when they released them until about a year and a half ago; the mouse5 button stopped reading... trashed. Picked up a copperhead and loved it instantly. The buttons are in a bit of a different spot and once I got used to it, it just feels more natrual.

I'll probably be getting a Lachesis (sp?) this winter; mmmm 4000dpi. In that case, my mx518 will go back to backpack beater duty and the Copperhead will be on server-watch


I'd go copperhead... don't let the 'no more shiny material in the palm area' fool you, though... It wears into a glossy shine after a year or two

 

I've got a diamondback 3g and its great, + I ordered the one that DOESN'T have the gloss all over the main body so it looks even better

diamondback is my choice

 

Deathadder which i am using tops the benchmarking charts by esreality .....

lachesis seems awesome...it has more buttons...more DPI ...but i think Deathadder is the best buy currently

 

Ya copperhead is better.....

Btw u must be aware of mouse benchmarking....this site is the best for deciding which mouse u wanna buy:
