Sweet - had to dig for the small pictures to see what it actually looked like from a top-down view.

Good review! If i didn't like the logitech g5 so very very much, I might look into it some more.

Originally posted by Samhael *sniff* I took so many nice pics too. Borrowed a pro camera and light even. I had a size comparison with the G5 and the Diamondback, and a glowy in the dark pic. I would absolutely love the mouse if I could get my hand wrapped around it. ~ Carolyn {Edit} Loaded it up. :)  It's not a very good picture and our graphics guy has his standards. This one I took with my point and shoot camera. :D |

Okay i had the money to go and buy it just so i could make a comparison to my new G5 from Logitech and from hours of playing shooters including doom3/ halo/ and mmo's like everquest 1 and 2 as well as wow/ also Neverwinter nights after an overall comparison i find that the new G5 has a better feel and a better response time. over all i think microsoft came up short.

Well the form of intelli 3.0 is the best of all times, and since this mouse is all new tech and the fact that they don't sell intelli 3.0 anymore probably makes it worth it

I wish this review had been out before I'd bought my Diamondback. There's a very important point made here (and other reviews have touched on it also) about the sensitivity of the mouse and how it's designed to be clicked and moved. The Diamondback is VERY sensitive, to anything: movement, pressure, a strong breeze... You get the idea. Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE this mouse, and I've had excellent results with it, but the buttons are almost too sensitive at times. I probably at least three times a day end up clicking when I don't intend to. Most of the time that's not a problem, it's just an irritant, but in a MMOG, when you might be hovering over the buy or the sell button and haven't yet decided, a click at the wrong time can be extremely painful. Now in all fairness, the sensitivity can be gotten used to, and I find the Diamondback to be one of the most comfortable mice I've ever used, even though I'm more partial to the ones you can sort of drape your hand over. It's worth mentioning that you may want to think twice if you're moving from a more robust mouse to something like a Diamondback, as it requires a fair bit of time to get used to that sensitivity. |

Part of the build for my new PC earlier in the year was the MS HABU mouse. For me its a great mouse, doing all but one thing I would expect! That one thing is where I wish I'd gone for the Logitech G5 instead; there's no side to side movement on the scroll wheel :( Other than that little quibble its perfect!

I've had my Habu for a few months now and absolutely love. I had a G5 and liked the tech behind it, but the feel of the Intellimouse was always much preferred. This is the best of both worlds. Lack of side to side doesn't bother me as I like my scroll wheel to be precise in gaming and side to side motion usually causes it to slip one direction or the other. I just got my Reclusa keyboard in, matches extremely well and a very good keyboard. Best combo I've ever had. |
