Im looking for a gaming mouse
Out of all these, the Microsoft Habu and Razor Copperhead are the cheapest.

It's all personal preference. I use both the Logitech G5 and the Razer Copperhead. I'd take the Copperhead any day. It has sculpted buttons, great clicking, excellent scroll, and really fits my hand well. The best thing you can do to decide is go to Best Buy and look. Usually they have the G5/Copperhead on display but probably not the Habu.

ive only used the Copperhead out of all of those but i love razer products. but i also do have a little spot in my heart for logitech. i have a g7 and it is a fantastic mouse but i just got it for the wireless, but it is byfar the best wireless mouse i have ever used. but i imaging the g5 is better. but i would say g5 or copperhead. i am also curious to see how good the new microsoft mouse is.

This gaming mice benchmarking article might prove helpful. Also, be sure to check this Razer DeathAdder review in that same site, to see how it ranks in those benchmarks (in page 5). I would buy Razer DeathAdder if I was looking the best gaming mouse..

After serious consideration between the G5 and Copperhead, I went ahead and bought a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical. Serious pwnage at a seriously discounted price.
-
what about the Microsoft Razer Habu
it has the laser of razer and the build of microsoft
plus its got the maximum features -
And I've also been reading loads about the Razer DeathHadder
Basically presently Microsoft Habu and Razer DeathHadder are the latest in the market right now.
Razer DeathHadder uses infrared technology, which is supposed to be the best. -
As stated in my other post, havent found any online US seller with deathadder stock and dont think anyone in dubai sells em. where can we get our deathadders from
-
I've had a G5 since they came out and I have to say its excellent (I tried razer's ) I love the looks and feel. The performance is fantastic. Its really just a great mouse in every way I can't even count how many awards its won and rightfully so!
-
ok ive purchased the Microsoft Habu
it was the cheapest out of all of them
Deathadder wasnt available -
-
The Microsoft Habu is a great device/
Its a true masterpiece except for 1 thing.
THE DRIVERS
I still cant get it to run. It works fine without the drivers but still its not at its full capability. -
I just got my diamondback from newegg for 45$ shipped. Ordered monday @ 10pm EST and got on wed afternoon!! First of all, it looks sweet. Its very precise and I've already noticed the difference in CS:S. It also seems lighter and easier to manuever than logitech's line. However, it is flat and I like the feel of logitech mice better around my hand.
-
Virtually every review I've seen for the Habu have criticised the supplied drivers as being a joke... most reviewers have suggested saving you money and buying an Intellimouse instead. Pity, since the hardware is so nice.
Personally, I'd have gone with the Copperhead. -
I got a diamondback, they are pretty cheap now. I think they are the best deal cause with mice you really don't need to be so up to date unless you are a pro gamer.
-
I personally like the logitec mx-518. Great mouse for the money.. i actually prefer it over the g5
-
The Habu is the best, provided you have the drivers installed.....otherwise its no less than a normal mouse........thats why its recieved negative reviews
-
I didn't know drivers were so important for the performance of the mouse. I have a Razer Copperhead without the drivers installed, what a waste
-
get them installed
then your polling rate will increase from 125hz to 500hz
you'll see the difference then
Logitech G5 vs Microsoft Habu vs Razor Copperhead vs Razor Diamondblack
