Razer Diamondback Gaming Mouse (RZ01-01420100-R3U1)

I ordered this mouse due to a recommendation from a friend. I had a razer naga molten edition before which lasted me a good 4 years. I wanted something that didn't have a ridiculous amount of buttons as I found myself not playing MMO's as much. The Diamondback has great chroma software for controlling the lighting, customization of the 4 sidebuttons (or really any of the buttons). I do wish however that some of the modes such as breathing or reactive would allow you to select more than 2 colors, but hey it's still really cool to look at and honestly at some point it doesn't matter because I'm looking at my screen, not my hand when completing tasks or playing the occasional game if I have time. The mouse feels great in the hand, although it did take an adjustment period as the Naga has rather large right contour that my hands had become used to over the years; so at first it was a little ostentatious for my middle, ring, and pinkie finger placement and I would press the right sided buttons without meaning to a bit often. However, this went away after my hands adjusted from the Naga set-up I've been used to. Overall this mouse turned out perfect after about an hour or two of use so that my hands could be used to the slick and lightweight design (the naga was pretty dang heavy). I think for my hand style grip, claw it fits like a glove. Other's have stated that the older diamondback had a rubber ring that helped with their grip (I've never used the older iterations), and that the grip material is rather low to the bottom of the mouse causing some to have their thumbs or other fingers drag against the mousepad or their movement surface. Hasn't happened for me, but I can see that happening for other people who have different hand grip styles. Overall I like the lighting even if it is only a wow factor initially (haven't touched the software since disabling the right side buttons and setting up my colors). The design to me is pretty great and it gets a 5/5 as I really didn't have a problem with the grip, more so a problem with being trained to grip the awkward (for me) Razer Naga. I would recommend this to my friends....if they actually gamed on the computer.

I absolutely love this mouse. I have been waiting for a sale before I purchased. The lighting on this matches perfectly with the new Razer Chroma Ornata keyboard, which I also recommend strongly. The brilliant lighting can be controlled through the free download Chroma configurator program. If you already have a Chroma keyboard, this will recognize and add the mouse section to your existing configurator program. This lets you TOTALLY customize the lights on this mouse. The lights are broken down into approximately 25 small sections all around the perimeter, each totally customizable, as well as the scroll wheel and the logo. There are also the standard presets for lighting such as static color, breathing, fire, wave, and reactive. You can also sync the settings between keyboard and mouse. Physically it is a very comfortable mouse. It has a studded scroll wheel for a nice grip. Also there are 2 small extra thumb buttons on each side of the mouse. These are very small and thin, but have a distinctive "click" when pressed. Overall I would recommend this not just because of the uber cool lighting effects, but because it seems to be a quality product, with premium packaging and presentation, Also accompanied by software which looks great and works great. It is an encompassing experience Razer has provided. I will be purchasing a headset next, so another review to come.

Not a lot of companies bother making products for ambidextrous people, which is why I've been a fan of Razer and this particular mouse. When they re-released the Diamondback, and did it in the new Chroma style, I was incredibly excited and had to have one, because my older Diamondback had bit the dust back when they had stopped carrying them and I couldn't really get a replacement for a decent price. Granted, the old Diamondback lasted longer than most mice ever should, so years of use means that it's a great mouse in the first place. I've now had this one for quite some time, and it's not given me any trouble. The Chroma customisation makes it quite fun, and the fact that I can switch hands whenever I feel like it - like I could in the old days - makes me quite happy. Given that I have some medical problems that makes my hands have issues, the ability to switch is even more awesome now than it was then. Razer's Synapse system lets you set up profiles, so you can have it all set up for either hand at will. Synapse will let you do a lot more than that, but that's a basic that gets into the core of what I'm talking about here. Overall, if you're truly ambidextrous - or like slimmer mice with slimmer buttons - this mouse is really for you.

It's the return of Razer's most iconic mouse: the Diamondback / Copperhead. Essential Details: it is small, very light, glides very smoothly, good for both claw and palm grips. The good: very precise and very smooth, cost has gone down significantly from initial release, the chroma lighting is very crisp and the software makes it easy to play around with. The lighting is really a step above most other mice I have used (Razer, SteelSeries, Logitech, etc) Very bright but without being too much in a dark room (can be adjusted via software too) and the options in the software are enough to keep most tinkerers happy. DPI count is more than anybody will need even with a massive mouse pad and a 4K monitor. I have the definition of medium size hands, and this guy fits my hand very well. I am a claw grip user and this is quite comfortable for me, except for the thumb placement that goes on an edge of the mouse (soft edge, but still over time brings discomfort). This is a large positive in my eye as I cannot use most SteelSeries or Logitech mices because of their shape and how it cramps my hand up. I was very distraught when my Copperhead died, and the only mouse I was able to use without hand pains, was the Razer Taipan, which I have had for years. I bought this on some nostalgia, and am very happy that I did. The bad: No on-board memory, thus button and chroma settings are profile based. This means that when the PC boots, the mouse is in a factory defaulted state, which means either no lighting at all or the default (which is a bit too eclectic). The worse is that you cannot just pick this guy up and relocate it to another PC with your settings on it. You will have to download the program and sync your profile. Not terrible, but a step back from the Copperhead and most other Razer mice. The ergonomics of the original mouse were not amazing as far as thumb placement, and neither are they here. There is a rubber side so not to slide, but it hardly is relevant because the mouse side is angled inside, so you really are resting your thumb on the edge this slant creates. This is not bad for grip but after hours your thumb will start to have a small crease due to it. I assume that if you use this for an 8h work day or even 4h gaming session, it would become a bit uncomfortable.

After ~4 months of daily normal use the mouse wheel stopped functioning properly. Scrolling with the wheel does not provide a consistent rotation and often does not track the change. I was very happy with the mouse until it broke. Razer's warranty would not replace this exact mouse because they did not have it stocked. UPDATE: I RMA'd my broken mouse with Razer. They said they would be unable to replace this model and offered a Taipan replacement unit instead. They have not shipped the replacement unit and the broken unit has been in their hands for over three weeks. /!\ Don't think that if it breaks on you, you can just RMA and fix the problem. UPDATE: Razer finally sent a replacement unit after 3 months of me prodding the case along. Stick to Logitech, Corsair, or anyone else for peripherals.

Great gaming mouse. Buttons are very responsive and precise, and give good feedback. Side buttons are very slim, but are just as responsive. Scroll wheel it pretty stiff, but for gaming applications I think that is a good thing for reasons of precision. I have been using this mouse on a wood surface with no mousepad, and I've had to turn the DPI down because it can track tiny scratches in the wood. It's an incredibly precise mouse, and I would recommend a mousepad for smooth tracking. Not really something that you can use with a laptop on the go. Ergonomics are pretty flat for a gaming mouse. Depending on your grip, this may or may not suit your play style. Weight is what you would expect from an FPS mouse. It's pretty light compared to, for example, a wireless mouse that uses batteries. Construction is solid. Braided cable takes a beating, and the USB head has a tight, solid fit. Just plastic for the body, but the texture they used on it is a perfect combination of smooth and grippy. Overall excellent mouse.

I bought this because I wanted a very lightweight mouse, and I wanted something with high precision and quality. I shopped around a bunch, this was one of the lightest and most precise, Razer seemed like a well known reputable company. The reason I wanted light weight is because I use this mouse as much as 12 hours in a day, and heavy mice give me sore fingers if I have to put in several long days in a row. Unfortunately, I have now run into what appears to be a very common problem with the scroll wheel on all Razer mouse products. When I scroll it sometimes ignores my scroll, and sometimes scrolls 1 or 2 clicks in the opposite direction. This becomes irritating and causes me to scroll harder/faster... and then code jumps too far, wasting time and interrupting my focus. Worse yet, my scroll finger hurts by the end of a long day. Since purchasing I have found forum threads about this and other scroll wheel problems with a wide variety of Razer mice. The software that comes with the mouse and the mousing precision and the form factor were all great, but this stupid scroll problem simply ruins it. Thus it's not really a 1 star, since there is a lot of quality, but it's got a fatal flaw... Conclusion: Don't buy Razer mice. Epilogue: Razer issued an RMA with very little hassle. One email with suggestions of things to try, and when that didn't work, RMA. Given that they were responsive, and I really like everything OTHER THAN the scroll wheel about the mouse, I've restored one more star (to make it 3)

I'm really sad because I LOVED this mouse when I first received it...it's been just over 9 months now, and the scroll wheel suddenly began malfunctioning a couple days ago. It started with small skips, and I tried updating my drivers, cleaning out the cracks in my mouse with short bursts of a compressed-gas duster, straight up blowing into it like an old SNES cart...nothing worked. If anything, the problem's only gotten worse - sometimes when browsing web pages, the screen will skip up and down crazily on its own even when I'm not touching the mouse. Up until this malfunction, this was the best mouse I've ever used. I am female with very small hands (6 inches from tip of middle finger to base of palm, 6.5 inches from tip of thumb to tip of pinky), and most gaming mice are so bulky that placing my fingers on the left/right click buttons leaves my wrist hovering in the air instead of resting on the mousepad. This one is very slim and compact, with a gentle sloping design that never cramps my fingers even after hours of back to back games on League of Legends or Overwatch. I'm really disappointed with this - my Abyssal lasted 4 years, and this was supposed to be its replacement.

Great mouse. Sensitive buttons improvea responce time. The chroma lighting is beautifull. The software allows customization beyond the average persons needs.

The same description and the same as in the pictures and the product arrived in excellent condition , I bought two , one still working and another disconnect a lot

Compré el Razer Diamondback por que tenia un gran descuento de más del 50%, definitivamente una de las mejores compras que he hecho. Este no es el primer producto de Razer que compro, pero es obvio que la calidad permanece a través de todos sus productos. Es un mouse de buen tamaño, peso ligero, gran opción para zurdos o ambidiestros, y muy buena precisión, además de que puedes personalizar los colores y programar 8 de los 9 botones que tiene usando el software de Razer Synapse.

El Razer Diamondback no es un mouse para principiantes como yo. Es muy bonito, vistoso, y con un amplio set de configuraciones para los colores. Es ligero al uso, así que sentí mucho el cambio de desplazamiento. Quiero mencionar que la compra de EEUU a México fue demasiado rápida!!!! Lo esperaba en 7 días y llegó en 4, y vivo en el estado de Quintana Roo en México. El envío una maravilla (excepto por la aduana, pero ese es otro tema). Es mi primera compra en Amazon, junto con otro producto. Fue más de lo que esperaba

a good mouse really makes a big difference with almost every game.
