My first experience with Razer mice was at QuakeCon 2005, where they had a booth set up with PCs running the latest games, all of them equipped with their mice. There was a lot to see, so I didn't spend much time at their booth, but most of us remarked about how smoothly they functioned. So, when a Diamondback model arrived, I was eager to give one a proper test run and see how it stacked up to the competition.

     It arrived in pretty nice packaging: a bubble pack showing off the mouse from both the front and back. The pack also included a drivers CD and a neoprene LAN pack for safely transporting your Diamondback from one location to another.
