Mouse review

Hello everyone, this is my first blog so i had nothing better than reviewing the 3 beasts sitting on my desk. I might create a better review in the future.
The Lachesis, the diamondback and the Intelli 3.0.
Razer Lachesis Price = $80-89
Let's start with the Lachesis.......a very expensive mouse which I bought for half the normal price at $45. I don't really have any doubt concerning the mouse's quality since 4000dpi = practically no frame skipping. 2nd best looking mouse out of the three. The possibility of creating profiles within the mouse is quite simply a big plus. Now speaking of gaming with the mouse, you'll find that this mouse is much more for claw-type players rather than palm-type. This is probably because Razer seems obssesed with snakes.(just look simply look at the front of the mouse). If you are a low sens gamer then that mouse is not for you, I had to move from low to medium ever since i use it. The presence of mouse glidez is a big plus but just make sure you have some extra if you are using hard plastic or metal mouse pads. But you will probably need some time before getting used to this mouse I needed at least 2 weeks to get those headshots I normally do in Counter.
Rating 9.1/10
Razer Diamondback Price 40 dollars
Again nice packaging from Razer but no razer sticker. The mouse's dpi is 1600 dpi but there is something called on the fly sensitivity that allows you to switch dpi during the game. But I've seen much better in terms of on-the-fly sensitivity. This is probably the coolest mouse I've ever seen, take it at night to one of those lecture rooms at university and let it shine for you. However I am very critical of this mouse in terms of shape, It needs to be bigger and the side buttons are a real joke. I had to unbind them all to play CS. This is not for low sens gamer but more for the high-medium or high sens gamer. But that mouse is simply too small for such kind of playing, I prefer big mouse for high sens and smaller ones for low sens. This is pure preference so you might think otherwise. I also noted some frame skips, but otherwise this mouse is ok for me.
Rating = 7.7/10
Intelli 3.0 Price = $35
Finally the mouse most cs gamers use, so much that Microsoft had to start producing them again.(The series was discontinued) Intelli 3.0's packaging is horrible. Simply imagine Cinderella before midnight and after midnight and you'll notice how it looks like thrash compared to the Razer's packaging. I just threw the box away within a week of buying the mouse. That mouse is probably suitable for all kind of sensitivity because the big shape of the mouse allows for high sens and the low dpi gives place to good low sens gaming.
I aim better with this mouse more because of the shape of the mouse rather than the optical engine. If you are CS only then this mouse is for you. Unless you get the steelseries intelli i'd say this mouse is dumb but it offers you good performance for Counter Strike.
