EPTAfter I bought a Razer Diamondback a few weeks ago I found out that it wasn't at it's peak by just installing the drivers and messing around with speed and stuff. It's good but no where as good as it can be. So I made a bit of research and decided to share with you all, the best settings for the best mouse ever.
As you can see on your Razer Diamondback box or Copperhead(I guess) you can achieve 1ms (1000 hertz aka better latency) with it. Windows restrains it and forces your usb port to use 125 hertz (8 ms) so the reaction speed isn't as good and it isn't as smooth.
Follow this little guide in order to own like never before.
I made a pack with the utilities you need in order to optimize your mouse for the best performances.(THESE TOOLS ARE FOR WINDOWS XP USERS)

Thx to Korndog for hosting it
I don't know any other upload sites so if someone has the kindness to upload the pack on another site for future reference it would be nice since yousendit is like 1 week only.
In this pack you will find 5 things.
usbmrs10.exe
mouserate.exe
mousefix.reg and removemousefix.reg
accelfix.exe
usbmrs10.exe
This is the program to make your mouse reach 1ms, thus faster and more precise.(For Windows XP/2k3)
After you opened it and clicked "Patch" (SAFE MODE RECOMMENDED)
You will see your current mouserate, which should be 125.
You will be asked the following:
Enforce a polling rate of 250 Hz/4 ms? (Y/N)
Here you can choose if you want 250,500 or 1000.Choose no to the first one(250) to get to 500 or 1000. You can try 500 first and see if you like it or try right away 1000. Some people experience stability problems with 1000 hertz though, I don't know why but it's really worth trying it out, the feeling is undescribable.Reboot and check with Mouserate.exe if it worked.
Set it back to 500 or windows default if you have problems with it.
Mouserate.exe
This simple program allows you to see at what rate your mouse goes.Just move your mouse.
Mousefix.reg
This is a tool many gamers use, I'm not quite sure what it does except remove windows acceleration in your registry.For some reason I think It doesn't remove it for some people thus why I have included accelfix.exe. Mousefix Remover included in the pack.
Accelfix.exe
A little tool that every Razer Diamondback user should have. You MUST remove windows acceleration with a Diamondback or else it will just suck.
You will see if it's enabled or disabled with this tool and you will be able to turn it off if mousefix.reg didn't do the trick.
Also,for people who don't know what settings to use in your Razer Diamondback drivers I would strongly recommend to turn off Master acceleration and Master sensivity control and put Windows Pointer speed control at 5, then mess with your Sensivity. I've seen people play with 400DPI. WHY THE HELL DO YOU BUY A RAZER? Play with 1600 DPI folks.
Happy gaming.
