The new Diamondback 3G is a true performer offering the best sensor for low and medium sensitivity gamers out there for a mere $49.99. The infrared sensor that the Diamondback 3G features is the same as Razer used in the DeathAdder and it provides far superior performance compared to both conventional laser and optical mice, in terms of tracking performance at speed, and stability. Another major improvement over the old Diamondback is that the new one features a lot of minor tweaks that makes it a better mouse in all circumstances. The new design makes the Diamondback look like the rest of the Razer mice available today which is both a pro and a con depending on what type of design you like.

The Diamondback is back, looking and performing better than ever before, so what's not to like?
Well for starters the quality of the driver is really bad compared to recent Razer offerings. The fact that the "Advanced" driver controls aren't included in the driver is a major letdown. The driver for the Diamondback 3G isn't as good as the one that comes with a DeathAdder since it only lets you choose between 800 and 1800 DPI sensor resolution. This is far from good enough and I hope that Razer will fix this problem with the next driver / firmware update.

Overall the Diamondback 3G is a really good mouse especially considering its price. Since it's available for only $49.99 from Razer's site this mouse is a real bargain. Compared to other mice in this price range it beats them by a fairly big margin due to the fact that it features a well trimmed infrared sensor.
