Hello, after 9 years of service my Razer Diamondback is showing signs of tiredness so i need to search for replacement. Im looking for something that has similiar shape to Diamondback or got similiar feeling in comfort of use. Currently im thinking about Razer Taipan or SteelSeries Sensei, but before i make a pick i would like to hear some opinions and advices. I would really like to hear what would be the best choice from Diamondback users.
Thank you.

I had a diamondback aswell and made the switch to the deathadder, its almost the same but the ergonomics of the deathadder are far superior.

Razer abyssus has a different front, but the backside feels the same basically, if you use a claw grip I'd recommend it.

Deathadder suppose to be a replacement for Diamondback, and thats not really true because Deathadder is way bigger, Abyssus is a replacement to Viper and IMO Abyssus is more similar to Diamondback than Deathadder but he does not have side buttons...

How about Taipan or Sensei? Are they good for sc2?
I learned that the thing that makes Diamondback so special are those indentations on the sides what makes it easy to handle and lift. Are there any mouses with similar indentations?

About those indentations, look out for a mouse where the sides go inwards like \ - - - / instead of / - - - \ or | - - - |. You can lift those easily without having to tighten your grip and without problems when hands are sweaty.

Yes, thats what im talking about, but i got hard time finding mouse with such shape, everything is either straight or very wide =(.

I also had the DiamondBack (and Copperhead), and I really like the Lachesis (the 5600DPI one, I think there was another version before it)

You can adjust the DPI, customize buttons (has 2 buttons on each side), and the color for the scroll wheel and razer logo in the middle (I have disabled lighting entirely, that's possible too).

Zowie FK and Razer Abyssus? Both have kinda V shape, and great sensors.

I think Sensei and Taipan both have the slight indentation you mentioned. They are similar in size compared to diamondback too. Other than the Zowie FK mentioned, I think Roccat Kova+ also fits your description. I own both Kova+ and Sensei[Raw]. They are all very good, but I prefer the grip of Sensei.
