    Stores like BB and Compusa have only a couple models, and the ones near me don't have out-of-box display samples.

    I'm interested in a Razer or a Habu but first I'd like to see which one fits my hand the best. Also, do any of them have horizontal scrolling? If not, I might hold out for one that has that and the MS zoom feature.

    Ive got a deathadder, and it does not have horizontal scrolling. :(

    My old logitech one did, but it was destroyed in an unfortunate gaming accident.

    This is off topic, but at some point Razer is going to run out of snake names for their products, lol.

    Is the Lachesis going to be the same shape as the Deathadder?

    As for where to try it...the best advice to give you is to see if your friends have one.

    The Deathadder is already a non-snake name. They haven't used Cobra yet...
    Seems like most of you guys bought one without trying it out first, big leap of faith for me for that price! Guess I'll try the MS Intellimouse Explorer 3, similar to the Habu.
