Logitech or Razer?

This thread is purely for curiosity.

For all those who have used Logitech and/or Razor products, I ask you, which do you prefer, if any? Do you even use these products at all? What do you like about your preferred brand? Have you even heard of Razor?

Let me know.

Personally, I use a Logitech G15. Planning on getting a Diamondback or DeathAdder mouse.

It's t3h bombz.

Razer! On the fly adjustment and the ease of use is just what sells it for me! I have a diamondback plasma and it performs excellently, and looks cool as well!

Well, Deathadder, i don't know what it's like. But i can certainly vouch for the Diamondback. Simply whack all sensitivity to max in Razer Control panel as well as jet sensitivity for BF2 and you'll be able to dodge almost anything (well, except maybe me if i start chasing in a jet )

With 2000 DPI and 5 change-on-the-fly settings my G5 is plenty quicky. I didn't like the shape of the last Razer I tried.

G5 here. Its really, really comfortable. Plus Logitech has great drivers and support services.

I own the G15 keyboard, the G5 mouse and the Z-5500 5.1 speaker set. Logiteck is always top notch.

Yeah, i do have to agree their stuff is good. I just prefer the Razer Mouse. Also, did you know that Logitech make Labtec speakers, or at least distribute them.

The Kensington TurboBall used to be my weapon of choice, but I got sick of cleaning it! Any chance that they're making 'em optical now?

Hmmm...maybe I should check it oot...

Wow, that guy is serious about mice! But, measurements don't tell the whole story by themselves. In real-world use the G5 works well.

Looks like the TurboBall is defunct, but a few places still sell them. I don't know how many hours of Diablo and Myth II insanity I played on this thing...

Too bad all Kens. makes now is the Orbit and Expert. Both of those have the buttons in the wrong places IMHO.
