go for the DA. it has the better shape.

I sort of like the shape of the diamondback, but sidebuttons on the rightside are little annoying + maybe useless for fps gaming.

What really bothers me is the lift off distance. I don't own death adder, but what I heared, there was some firmware update that fixed this issue little. So if I could decide between those 2 now, I would go for the death adder for sure.

[edit:] Maybe the liftoff distance depends on surface also; just got a roccat mouse pad that is black and shines little. The issue is more noticable with that, but then again, I also had the problem with the razer mantis when that pad was new :D.

I think the lift off isn't too much a problem, as this is something I'm getting used to very fast, I guess. Thanks for your help!
