    well ive never bought a gaming mouse before. but am interested in buying one. i really like how they look and hopefully they have better performance than the free dell one that im using haha.

    so suggestions on which of the two is more comfortable and better? i use my mouse with fingertips. so based on that which would be better for me? price is not an issue :D

    I've owned both of these mice. The Copperhead is a great improvement over the Diamondback. The Copperhead is more sculpted and it makes you feel more in control. It also looks cooler and stays cleaner - the Diamondback was too glossy. And the tracking is better with the Copperhead.

    how was the durability on the copperhead? I'm thinking of purchasing it but I've read it breaks on you within months.

    it really depends on what you find more comfortable.

    Don't believe everything you hear. Mine is in near-perfect condition and I've had it for almost a year.
    I'm not a fan of Logitech mice, they all feel the same to me. The Copperhead feels much more attached to my hand than the G5.

    yeh i took a look at the lachesis. but it's a bit pricey. plus i like the fact that the copperhead comes in different colors. i think my hand will adapt to the copperhead better juding by the shape.
