Razer Diamondback 3G Mouse

Hey all,

I was going to purchase a "Razer Diamondback 3G", nice mouse body and size + comfort, but it has one problem- the price.

Does anyone know where I can get a SIMILAR mouse to the Razer Diamondback 3G? That has a nice DPI + MOSTLY same body and measurements, but is Cheaper.

Thank you.

PS. I live in Australia >.<
 
Personally I feel that one of the components you shouldn't skimp on is the mouse - it is the main physical interface to a PC nowadays and a good quality mouse should
A - last you a good few years
B - be a pleasure & comfort to use

Too many times do I go to a clients house to fix a £800 PC only to find they have a £3.50 wheel mouse that is filled with crap and that won't go diagonally or something.

And honestly - you can get that mouse here for 20quid which is actually at the cheaper end of the market - you'll find a lot of lads on here will have spent 3 maybe 4 times as much as that on a really good mouse.

I'd avoid cheap plasticy copies of good designs and they are more trouble than they are worth - get one from one of the main players - ie razer, logitech, microsoft (ie the Habu) - they all make cheap low end office mice - I used a £10 microsoft laser mouse throughout my whole degree for 4 years and it didn't bat an eyelid once - in fact its still in use on one of my server boxes now 7 years on :)
 
Thanks, I'm buying it even if it is $70, that's true. But I would of preferred more DPI for that price on such a comfortable mouse, but theres no way I'm going for the copperhead at $80, it's just too 'high' for my hand to hold I guess. :doh:

Thanks....Your so correct. :rolleyes:

Cheers. :cool:
 
I was looking into getting a Deathadder for myself, since my old Microsoft mouse is dieing of old age. They are fairly expensive, but not something you buy very often. It's kind of like buying a monitor or speakers, they stick around for a while. Did you actually have a chance to try out the Diamondback in person? I have a hard time finding them in stores, and it's difficult to gauge if your hand will be suffering from carpal tunnel after ten minutes of usage.
