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:

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'.
