Get an optial mouse mate. You won't believe the difference. My Razor DiamondBack is the kiddy! :worship:

Yeah mx1000 are good, but Razor's are better

Kempez, not rele. Lazer vs. optical. There's no comparison at all, and Razor's skip.

 

[Dav0s]

there is hardly a noticable difference between lazer and optical. most of the time it is just numbers on paper but if you can genuinely tell the difference then go lazer. personally for the price i would rther just get a 1600dpi optical.

 

[ionicle_old]

what is the difference?

 

[Joe]

what is the difference?

laser mice use a much smaller wavelength of light than normal optical <LED not Laser> and so can be far more sensitive

All of the reviews I have read have said that the Razor DiamonBack is an excellent mouse. It has had best choice from loads of gaming websites/magazines and it is generally considered one of the best gaming mice money can buy. It also happens to be £20 cheaper than the newest logitech model.

It does not skip and I know that cause I use it on my PC. The mouse has made a massive improvement in my gaming (yes it was pretty poor before!!). So I would always recommend getting one to anyone who needs a new mouse
