Love/Hate Relationship.......2007-12-28
I've had this mouse since Razer Copperhead came out and at first was thrilled at how beautiful it is. This impression faded as problems with it's drivers began, and it's beauty not worth headaches it created. For me ergonomics were functional being as I have a small hand, but it has a low profile which is fine if you don't mind controlling movement with first and second fingers primarily. It's an extremely light mouse without the 'optional' weights, so this is easy to do. Side buttons are only useful for Internet surfing, hard to use for gaming, and those on the right side impossible to locate or click without effort.
Cannot emphasize enough how eye candy the LED lighting is, but back to focusing on those horrific software issues. Firmware is deadly on this mouse. If they install badly, you no longer will have a Copperhead as it will die. Beyond that, you must install firmware through driver software which can be tricky if that software is acting up in the slightest - which it is known to do. If you decide to risk taking that leap (will most likely do so alone as Razer support is all but non existent or useless), you must evoke this process through driver software while unplugging the mouse while holding down a button on the bottom of the mouse without accidentally letting go (hard to tell if you have), then plug the mouse back in to the USB port. Don't know about you, but depending on location of your port, this can be difficult, and all you get are two hands to work with unless good with your feet. In my case this port is under my keyboard which I had to prop up, then do a balancing act while holding that button and plugging the mouse in! No firmware installation should require doing acrobatics far as I'm concerned.
What killed my mouse finally? Firmware which claimed to install perfectly, but in fact fried it. Why should I install firmware? Because it had suddenly and mysteriously vanished after re-seating memory modules on my computer. Why should this have made firmware vanish? Your guess is as good as mine! Razer isn't talking, and if they did would claim you did something wrong to cause this... but I can attest it isn't the customer's fault, it's their equipment and related bad software.
If you have money to burn and don't mind taking a chance, then this is the mouse for you, but if you are a person who has better things to do than constantly fuss with equipment and simply would like it to work as advertised, maybe you'd best keep shopping. Logitec has done a good job on their G5 recently, added buttons, and I don't hear anyone complaining about these problems with them. If these two companies put their heads together, Razer on design and 'cool factor', Logitec programmers on software, combined they could make the world's greatest gaming mouse. Unfortunately this isn't the case and what you get is a dilemma. Buy the eye candy and struggle, or one that works and only wish it looked better. For me it's been a love/hate relationship and I only wish someone had warned me in advance.
Having said this... their Diamondback sure looks great! Hahaha Heaven help me... ;^D
$90 Wasted on both Mouse and Deluxe Mouse Pad.......2007-12-12
I was so excited when the mouse arrived in the mail. The packaging looks great and it was very easy to install.
The problem is if I move the mouse at a very slow speed, the mouse doesnt move because it's too slow for the sensor to know the mouse is moving. It's very annoying when you need to move at a slow and careful speed and it's not moving. I've tried putting the mouse on different material thinking maybe the Razer Mouse pad was the problem but the same thing happens.
This mouse would be great if you're always moving the mouse fast but if need careful precision speed, it's very annoying. My plan is to ebay the mouse and try another one.
The 4 buttons to the sides are a little stiff but since i dont use them that often, it doesnt bother me. The front 2 buttons are about right in stiffness but I wish it was slightly more soft on the clicking.
Very accurate.......2007-11-25
I have not really used the mouse much for gaming yet but just browsing the internet or working with files it is much more accurate than my old optical mouse.
The options you can set with the driver install allows you to tailor all motions to your preference. Want to move your cursor from one side of the screen to the other with just a flick of your wrist? The plethora of options are fantastic. Fine tune double clicking, x-y sensitivity, windows pointer speed, acceleration, and scroll speed.
Two buttons on each side of the mouse for a total of seven. I believe they are also able to be set to macro keys but I have not yet done that.
It took me a couple of weeks of nightly use to get used to the new sensitivity but it's like an extension of my hand now. Great buy.
Great mouse, flawed design.......2007-11-24
As soon as I opened it and saw how the lighted rubber part was not proportional with the top and bottom of the mouse, I knew I was going to have to return it since I place my thumb higher than most. I had to place my thumb on the said rubber and it was uncomfortable. The two side buttons on the left(left-click) are also out of place and rather hard to press. It doesn't seem to bother many other gamers, since they probably place their thumb on the lower buttons, though. Rest assured though, this mouse will help a great deal with aiming and such since the laser is absolutely superior to many others out there.
Incredible mouse!.......2007-09-24
I've had this mouse for a while and it's perfect! My two favorite things about it are: 1. How sensitive it is. I move the mouse half an inch and its all the way across the screen. But it's not that it's like, super fast, and you cant control it, I can move it halfway across the screen without even thinking, and it will be right on what i was aiming for. The bad part of this is when i go on my friends computers, and i have to drag their mouse across the pad twice to move it across the screen(but thats their fault, not the copperhead's)! 2.I play World of warcraft, and you can auto run by pressing the / key next to Num Lock, that way you dont have to hold w, up arrow key, or hold both mouse buttons. However, the / isnt exactly in a convient place, so i diddnt use it very often. But, with the copperhead, i press the left side closer to me button, and i will auto run! i diddnt even program it to do that or whatever, i accidently pressed it while i was playing. oh, and more on point number 1, just so you get an idea of how sensitive it is, i just turned it upsidedown, and moved my thumb across the sensor(the width of my thumb, not the length)just once, and the mouse went across the screen. And im only 12 years old, so the with of my thumb isnt exactly that big.

Great Mouse, even for macs.......2006-12-02
I just wanted to jump on to say a few things really quick.
1.) I've had this mouse for a year using it with my PC and it's great. Best mouse razer has made yet, and my prefered mouse.
2.) It doesn, infact, work with mac computers, IF you go download the SteerMouse drivers (available from apple and many websites, just google SteerMouse. It works great with my new macbook pro, every button.
Great for PC; not for mac.......2005-11-04
I know I know... Razer doesn't profess to support mac with their mice (despite recently marketing at mac events)... but I've tried tons and tons of mice, and they all essentially work. Granted, you might not be able to program all the buttons to do everything you want right out of the box (though you can use a shareware program/driver called usb overdrive to regain this ability), but you can still use the mouse and program the other buttons for various expose' functions.
I got my Razer Copperhead today via UPS and was very excited to start using it. (Nice packaging btw. They don't package it so that you have to mutilate yourself to open it.) I kinda missed not having a case to come with it like my Viper did, but no biggie. (My dad stole my Viper but not the case for it.)
I plug the mouse into my Powerbook G4. What comes up? The OS thinks it's a keyboard... After cancelling all that, I tried moving the mouse. Nothing. Can't move. Can't click. Can't scroll. Nothing. Now, it lights up all pretty... but it's unusable. So, I check out their site where they link to USB Overdrive for mac drivers (and IMO they should be making native drivers for their product especially if there's no working replacement).
I install USB Overdrive... no fix. I'm looking at a very pretty and very expensive paper weight. I emailed Razer about this (mentioning that I'd tried USB Overdrive and it didn't work). To their credit, I received a reply in a couple of hours. On the other hand, they sent an email stating that they don't support the mac and that I should use USB Overdrive as "You can use the mouse on a Macintosh using these USB Overdrive drivers, but you will not be able to program the buttons."
Thanks alot... I know reading the same stupid questions over and over again every day must be really annoying, but part of customer service involves actually reading those emails. Life sucks, what can be said.
Anyhow, like I said, this is the first mouse I've run into (out of... like... 5 different brands... one including a Razer) that didn't work at all on my Powerbook. I've sent another email to Razer and one to USB Overdrive's writers. Hopefully something will fix this. The mouse actually has firmware, but of course, the software to update the firmware runs on Windows only. Classy...
Assuming the mouse worked:
It's very nice looking. The blue really glows. It looks way better than my viper did (and that's not just because I prefer blue to red).
It's very light and fits in the hand well. I do have small hands though. I've heard people say Razer mice tend to be too small. The Copperhead is bigger (wider) than the Viper. I don't like the newer Logitechs for gaming due to their shape and size. I love Logitech's G7 battery pack idea, but it's not portable of course, and like I said, I don't like the shape. (On a vaguely related note, why can't someone make a bluetooth mouse that works without skipping all the time??)
It's ambidextrous.
The scroll wheel turns easier than my old Viper. The scroll wheel is notched. (It might not be that it turns easier as much as it's notched and is thus easier to grip with the finger. On the Viper, I had trouble switching weapons using the scroll wheel at times due to my finger slipping.)
An annoyance for me is that the left button on this mouse (maybe just mine) feels loose. It has a solid click, but before the click you can move the button. It reminds me of the macmice bluetooth mouse (though nowhere near that bad... that mouse (all of them) was horribly loose feeling). The right button does not have this problem.
The front thumb button feels easy to use, but the rear one hits right on the edge of my thumb nail and is uncomfortable. The thumb buttons on the side opposite of your thumb are of course useless. Basically, calling this a seven button mouse isn't really true. It has 5 useable buttons (4 for me). Which 5 depends on which hand you're using.
Anyway, I really wanted to love this mouse, but the fact that it's useless with my Powerbook (and I suspect any mac) makes it near worthless to me.
Clearly the top of the line, as they say.......2005-10-17
This is the best mouse on the market. Mice are peripherals that often get looked over in favor of graphics boards and LCD monitors. But the mouse is at least 50% of your interface with the computer, so why bottleneck yourself? If you're a gamer, the mouse isn't just an interface, it's a tool. And the Copperhead is amazing.
2000dpi means that if you want sensitive pointer movement, you don't have to artificially ramp up the sensitivity settings in Windows, which costs you vital precision in exchange for speed. The Copperhead gives you 2000dpi precision down to a single dot, so that's not an issue. The 1000Hz polling time means that the mouse sends data to the computer nearly ten times as often as conventional mice. The result is ultra-smooth movement. It's something you will only notice after trying it out. But believe me, you'll be able to tell the difference if you try to switch back.
As for switching back, I'm afraid I'm a dedicated Copperhead user now. After getting used to the luxurious rubberized side rails, the teflon feet and the pulsing blue LEDs, I've been spoiled.
