    I think that Logitech > razer in every way.

    And i think that your processor is bottlenecking your video card :)

    I know it does but it runs all of my games on full settings no problem, so why upgrade? even at 2560 x 1600 max settings.... =D

    I'd recommend the Deathadder, it's exceedingly comfortable, and optical sensor is faultless.

    The mamba looks very similar though, except for the two small buttons on the left. I pressume these are for adjusting the sensitivities. On the deathadder you need to press a button on the bottom to change between sensitivity profiles. Some other Razer mice have buttons on the bottom to set the DPI and polling frequency there and then, which is a bit better. That said, I've never bothered changing sensitivity profiles.

    Ill second the Deathadder, very nice mouse to use. I'd recommend buying a proper mouse pad aswell to make the most of it.

    I'm sticking with my MS Intellimouse, it's amazingly comfortable (and I have arthritis), and the scroll wheel is just so smooth it's unbelievable

    I always liked the looks of the Logitech MX Revolution as well

    I've got Razor DiamondBack and I'm perfectly happy with it. I like that (special)surface doesn't get sweat even during long gaming sessions.

    that Razor mouse looks fantastic, me wants!

    i think if you can afford it, get it. i cannot afford to drop that amount on a peripheral, so i just bought a G5 when it was on offer.

    N-thing Razer Deathadder or a Copperhead. But YMMV depending on how you hold your mouse.

    Razer Mamba is nice but seems to be a tad expensive, sure it's wireless and wired but when will you ever use anything more then say the 1800 DPI on a Razer Deathadder (which is an awesome mouse by the way).

    My vote is for Razer Deathadder.

    I'll probably end up picking this one up myself... Currently using a Logi MX Revolution. Love it, but I'm starting to look at fingertip mice a tad more.

    I'd suggest the Lachesis, but really; you can't go wrong with Razer mice ... or is that mouses? I know the plural form of the animal "mouse" is spelled as "mice", but does the same hold true for the flesh-and-blood rodent's technological siblings?

    Small Hands = Razor

    Medium to Big Hands = Logitech.

    yep, i got not so large hands, and i find my G5 to be a bit of a hand full.

    for some reason, my single player gaming became more pleasurable because it's so comfortable, but my kill-ratio has gone down the drain in multiplayer for some reason.

    You'll soon get used to the speed I own a Deathadder, fantastic mouse (did cause some cramp in my index and middle fingers for the first couple of days use) but even with all settings set to max I now find it a little slow.

    You can't go wrong with Razer mice. Started with a Krait, moved on to a Lachesis about a year ago (The Krait's still used by my friend - works perfectly). Size-wise, I have large hands, but I find the Lachesis perfect - I guess it depends on how you hold it.
    I love the idea of the Mamba, now if only it were symmetrical (I'm a leftie, so...).
    In any case, try it before you buy it. Get what fits your hand the best, be it the Mamba, DeathAdder, Lachesis or any other :)

    I have meduim to big hands and use a Razer Death adder, but I'm kid of used to smaller mouses. You are right that it's important to consider as some people may find it a bit awkward if the are used to those big comfy mouses. :D
    That said I do really like my Razer mouse.
