Razor Diamond back or Logitech MX518

I'm and intensive computer user and use my computer, keyboard and mouse daily. And since I have a wireless mouse I need new batteries every week. That's why I am going to buy a wired mouse. Howhever there are soo many mice I can't even choose. So I did some research and came out with these two cheap and goood game mice. the Razer Diamondback and the Logitech MX815. So are some things I found:

General info

Both mices are greatly respected game mice from well known company's. The specs are actually quite the same:

	Razer Diamondback	Logitech MX 518
Reso.	1600 dpi	1600 dpi
Max. speed	1m/s	1m/s
Data processing rate	5,8 MP/s	5,8 MP/s
Maximum acceleratie	15g	15g
Lag	1 ms	1 ms
buttons	7*	8**
Sensor.	Agilent A3070	Agilent A3070

They both have the same sensor, max speedm resolution etc. so that shouldn't matter.

*2 of left side 2 on right side
** 2 buttons for on-the-fly sensivity

Razer Diamondback

As I read:
General
The Razer Diamondback is a small mouse for people with small hands or people who like to hold their mouse with their fingers(like me) and not the whole hand. It's a light weight mouse produced by a company specialised in gaming gear.

Ergonomics & Design
I also read the mouse is Ergonomically not the greatest which make is for some feel like a regular mouse. Howhever the light-weight, the 'rubber' coated buttons and the rubber side strips makes it such a great mouse. And the light is beautiful.


Logitech MX518

As I read: General
The Logitech MX518 is a big heavy mouse you use with your whole hand. This shouldn't be a problem since the ergonicaly the mouse should be good. The design however...
Ergonomic & Design
As I read a lot of people say the shape of the MX518 is way better than that from the Diamondback wich looks like it is. And as I said, I think the design is just plain ugly. It looks like a lapricon banged it up with a little bat. Than just put some small cheap looking buttons on it and done.

That was just a very quick overview on what I found and it maybe helps you decide a little easier ( or maybe harder, sorry). Right now I think I'll go with the Diamondback because I like the use my mouse with my fingers and lightwright mouses. And I just love the light :p When I got my new I will post the unboxing, a feature overlook and a 'review'.

Why don't you buy a Mac?

Attention: this post has very little educational value and consist of ignorant facts and myths from both Macboy and PC. Don't take this post seriously. (However I do hate Apple and they will have to pay me to make me use an Apple product. With that said:
Okay, better to say it now then never. I hate Mac and the whole Apple company more than I hate Microsoft and all those big company's. Why? Because Apple is just to arrogant and don't have any dignity. They sell $700 dollar boxes full of electronic crap and sell it to brainless Macboys and girls. And Apple takes advantage of these people. I am not claiming that all Mac users are stupid, certainly not. But some just have to admit that the Mac isn't any better than a PC so just stop complaining and flaming on those youtube videos and blog posts.

As I was telling all that above to a friend of mine(A Macboy) he just started claiming and started nagging about how great the Mac is( Ugh, just the same crap every Macboy/girl says, do they have a cheatsheet or something hiden somewhere?). About how fast it is, how easy it it and how it never crashes and stuff and said that after I tried it I would agree.

So he invited me to his house to try it out. I started the Mac waited and waited just like any PC and then Woah! Mac OS X was there. So I asked: "Now show anything a PC can't do?".So he starting showing everything:

1. The windows manager is way cooler and easier!
- I can make a PC look like that...

2. Photoshop and other applications run faster on my 1.8Ghz Mac than on a 1.8Ghz PC
- Ok so I need faster processor to top with the Mac so I buy a Pc with Core2Quad @ 2.44Ghz that will cost me maybe $800 with a nice graphic card and 4gb RAM. And your Mac costs $2000 so what's the difference? Yes $1200.

3. Mac never crashes and always works.
- Than why would there be a support line? I'm pretty sure I can make the Mac crash and besides Linux doesn't crash either. So they are still even.

4. But uhm... Linux is hard and Mac is not.
(* is Macboy)
- Why is linux hard? It's just like any other OS.
* I heard it's hard to install thing on it.
- With Ubuntu Linux for example you have an application wich shows a huge list with all applications for Linux than click install and done. If it's not on that list just type 'apt-get install ' to install anything. Nothing different than Mac OS X.

5. Mac dominates the graphic design world. We have for example Final Cut!
- That was ages ago, sure there are ignorant designer that think you can only design on a Mac. Oh wait, I'm a designer and I don't have a Mac. And about the Final Cut, congratz you have an Application we don't have... Not really a big deal because we got 1000's of quality Pc only wares.


Hmmm, he didn't really convinced me to buy a Mac... Why would I buy a $2000 dollar machine that can do less than a $800 dollar machine, that just makes no sense to me. So I'll stick with my PC for a while. Maybe it will be fun to convince my friend to buy a PC. Maybe you'll see that next time on my blog :p
