The amount of dpi doesn't necessarily mean it's a better mouse. Below is a very nice review of the DeathAdder, using the same 3G sensor. They also give great feedback on why it's such a good sensor.

Also, the Habu, doesn't feature a 3G sensor, so it's not just a DeathAdder with a Microsoft shell.]]>Jul 25th 2007 8:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/i totally mixed up MY copperhead, with a diamondback, lol, sorry, they used the wrong pic so i was confused, the diamonad back is clear, so yea.
sorry. lol]]>Jul 25th 2007 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/
Oh, and from the looks of the pictures, the side buttons are now on the glowing area... not sure if I like that. And the glowing tri-snake logo is gone? Com'n now! I also am not sure if I like the whole rubberized thing... the old version of the copperhead (which I'm using now) had it on the buttons and they got nasty really easy, then if you cleaned it off you could scrape some of the rubberized portion off.]]>Jul 25th 2007 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/this photo isnt right, the diamondback looks alot different.]]>Jul 25th 2007 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/Jul 26th 2007 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/
Razer also has a 2000dpi mouse, the Copperhead. Get your facts straight.

I just bought a DeathAdder fairly recently because I wanted the 3G sensor, but I liked the look and feel of the DiamondBack more. Oh well, the DeathAdder isn't a bad mouse.]]>Jul 25th 2007 9:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/g5 also has less dpi choices, it only offers 2000, 800 and 400
while my copperhead has 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 2000.
razer just has technically better products.
razer is just more meant for hardcore gamers.]]>Jul 25th 2007 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/
Sure Razer make awesome products, but I'm not a big fan of the design of their mice, I much prefer the design of the G5. Razer is probably a better bet if you're a lefty though. :p]]>Mar 31st 2008 4:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/.>

I must say, out of all of the mouses I've ever had, I loathe and despise the ones with balls in them — give me a castrated (i.e., optical) mouse any day! :D]]>Jul 26th 2007 1:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/

But yeah, you're right... I would totally pay $150 for this Logitech mouse that's wireless and I can use in the air!
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/3443&cl=us,en

Or maybe I'll just limit myself and go with the $100 mouse that's nearly identical to this mouse but is wireless!
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/163&cl=us,en

And sorry I said it poorly, but you understood what I meant about latency. But my opinion on whether latency is a big deal clearly differs from yours as well. What's the point of having a precision mouse if you have to deal with the wireless latency?

Oh, and congratulations, by the way. You made a funny! "gheymer gimmic"? Oh my, your mommy must think you're so funny! I wonder if she'll put print that out and put it up on the fridge.]]>Jul 26th 2007 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/Jul 26th 2007 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/ Wireless

I'll take wired any day of the week over a wireless. Because, you know, I really want to spend more money buying batteries, or waiting for it to recharge.]]>Jul 26th 2007 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/Jul 26th 2007 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/
"Paying a premium" is a silly way of putting it, as it comes down to personal preference. I don't exactly see wireless mice as good as this going extremely cheap. So you're "paying a premium" to get an extra 5 feet of distance between yourself and your computer?]]>Jul 26th 2007 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/
The extra price that wireless devices command is justified by the additional engineering and components they require. The extra price Razor mice command is not justified when competing products (wired and wireless alike) offer the same performance and more fuctionality for less. Razor is a gheymer gimmic.

Input speed is no different on a wired mouse than a wireless mouse. Both are limited by the USB 2.0 specs, which go far above and beyond whatever is required for an accurate mouse. Latency, however may lag for wireless devices. This can be a particular problem with cyborgs using the device with fine motor control speeds nearing C, but for humans, it can be overlooked.]]>Jul 26th 2007 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/razer-updates-diamondback-gaming-mouse-with-3g-sensor/
