Razer has come such a long way, and we’ve had so many gamers write to us urging us to resurrect the iconic Boomslang. With the Boomslang CE, we’ve kept the basic shape of the mouse, but included a whole host of other features. We’ve also taken great pains with the packaging of the Boomslang CE, and made certain it is truly something collectors would be proud to own,” said Robert “Razerguy” Krakoff, president of Razer.
How's the ergonomics on these? I prefer my Diamondback over my Copperhead (I haven't tried the DeathAdder because I'm a lefty) but I wasn't that impressed with the ergonomics of the Lachesis at all (though it is an otherwise excellent mouse.)
I have been a huge fan of Logitech mice for years, and still love the G7. Have to say though hat the Death Adder is much better for gaming (for me). For some reason when using the G7 I always play a lot worse. The form of this looks too flat (for me).
My G7 never lagged at all. Although i have moved to a copperhead, i still prefer the feel of the G7. Hard to say what i prefer.
