How it stacks up:

The Diamondback was very easy to setup and begin using. It worked straight out of the box like a normal USB mouse. A driver disc was included inside the packaging and was also easy to install. Once installed the software activates all the extra buttons on the mouse which allows you to switch sensitivity on the fly and assign keys and commands to any of the seven programmable buttons.

This mouse is a real looker. It has a sleek, low profile with a neon blue light that runs the circumference of the mouse. It feels extremely comfortable in the hand and looks brilliant in the dark.

The difference that this mouse has over a standard optical mouse is amazing. It glides over my desk almost frictionless. It did take a short while to get used to though as the speed at which the pointer moves is extremely fast in comparison with my old mouse. The slight down side to the mouse is the fact that the buttons on the right hand side are not very easy to get to in a hurry. (If you are using this mouse in your left hand then it will be the buttons on the left.) This mouse has massively changed my gaming experience and has often given me the edge that I needed. For around £35 you are picking up a device that will enhance your gaming. I simply can not recommend this mouse enough.
