You know I do nothing by halves....

That goes for mice too!

First came the logitech mx700 which I sold with my desktop, then I got the razer diamondback, now I have the razer copperhead (too). What are you guys using? Any other razer users?

Some specs:

2000dpi sensor
1000hz USB polling rate (from 125hz) built into drivers
upgradable firmware
tweaked design from diamondback
pulsing blue led on top (slow pulsing)

 

I use a Razer Diamondback - best 50 dollars I ever spent! Extremely responsive, and the mouse buttons are very nice.

Hm, is the Copperhead that different from the Diamondback? I'm considering picking one up as well.

 

I found I pressed those side buttons by accident a lot, but this one has them set lower from the rubber side, its taller and it is more sensitive. It's also a little more picky about ports (staying in the same one) when upping the usb response rate but thats understandable.

EDIT: Oh and its even more responsive too

EDIT2: This is not for beginners, you need to be good at handling small movements as its not forgiving. If your new to high response mice you will have to turn down its sensitivity (you can do this on the move with the buttons). It cost me £50 and you might want to look for the cheaper diamondback.

 

Hm....that's tempting! Yes, I find myself accidentley pushing in the side buttons sometimes. Gets kind of annoying.

Yes, I think I will get one, because I am in need of a new mouse for my desktop. I'll just use the Diamondback for that and the Copperhead for my laptop!

Hey did the Copperhead come with that nice little carry bag like the Diamondback?

 

No but I will just use my diamondback one for my copperhead since I am doing the same as you. Oh and its great for those tight 180 degree turns on UT2k4, coming from behind has never been such a small advantage

 

I used the original razer boomslang, but I am hesitant to get the new ones. They look really badass, but since they are symmetrical and can be used by both left and right handers, I found the original to be pretty uncomfortable and feared this would be the case with the new ones.

I was also considering getting a logitech G5 for a gaming mouse. It is contoured for the right hand, has two huge slippy feet, and has a customizable weight system. The profile and lights on the new razers are pretty tempting, though!
