which mouse should i get?

well.. i currently have an mx510 and i must say i'm pretty happy with it. but i've been thinking about making an upgrade to either an mx518 or a razer diamondback. i know it's been discussed before about which one is better and blah blah, but i can get them both where i work (best buy) for relatively cheap. the razer would cost a little bit less than the mx518 though. my friend just got the diamondback and he likes it a lot, but i can't decide which one to get. what do you guys think?

Don't ask why unless you want to join them.
Honestly, it doesn't matter.
The mx518 technicially has better dpi, but its not something you notice in games, they are both insanely high.

Grip them, then decide. I like the feel of the mx line better.

Still can't decide? Flip a coin.

haha yeah i'm so used to the mx510 that i'm not sure i could part with the way it feels to go to the diamondback. i'm kinda iffy about the side button placement on the diamondback too though. i think i'm going to get the mx518 and then try it out, and if i'm not as happy as i'm hoping to be then i'll give the diamondback a run-through

just stick with the mx510 if it isnt broke or anything. i had to upgrade mine because my right click wouldn't hold down properly.

The link gun in ut2004 would shoot for like a second, stop for 2 seconds, shoot for 3 seconds, stop for 1, it was just plain annoying.

alright, turns out i got myself a razer diamondback (chameleon green) since that's the only one they sold at my work (best buy). good price, and i'm pretty glad i got it... i like it a ton more than i thought i would. but i guess i can't make a final say until i try it out a few more days, since i've only been using it for 2 hours as of right now
