Summary: Damn nifty.
Comment: When my MX1000's charger crapped out, I found myself in the market for a new mouse. Based on reviews I decided to give the Razer a try.
The ergonomics of the mouse are nothing special; the shape is just your classical old-school mouse, and the weight is just a little lighter than I'd like. Since I had been used to using the MX1000, which is pretty much the perfect mouse ergonomically, I had a little adjusting to make. It's a pretty-looking mouse though, with a pulsing blue glow... not that you'll ever be looking at it while using it, but its there. There are two buttons on each side, presumably to give parity to the left-handed audience, as the right-side buttons are all but unreachable for right-handers. The side buttons that I do use feel a little stiff, and I have to compensate by squeezing my ring finger a little to keep the mouse stable when I use them, which would be problematic if I ever used them in games (I don't).
You will immediately notice, however, the great sensitivity and accuracy of the mouse, which is its selling feature... and it delivers on this well. At first it takes a little adjusting on the user's part, but now that I've been using it for a while for surfing the web, playing games etc., I can't imagine going back.
The software leaves a bit to be desired though, installation/uninstallation of drivers can require manual registry editing, which seems a bit clumsy. For some reason my mouse is totally disabled by the newer drivers, so I have to use only those bundled on the CD. Also the mouse can take up to 30 seconds to "wake up" coming out of standby, but otherwise there are no technical issues to speak of.
Overall I'm happy with the purchase and have no difficulty recommending this mouse to more advanced users with specific needs for higher sensitivity and accuracy (mainly gamers). For more basic uses though, you would probably fine with some cheapo from Microsoft.

Summary: Wrong Mouse
Comment: I ordered the copperhead and received the diamondback. A good mouse but not the one i wanted. I didnt return it cause i needed a good mouse in a hurry and i figured it could take another two weeks to get the copperhead.

Summary: Allowed me to take out more dudes
Comment: Definitely improved my skills in Rainbow Six Vegas 2 when compared to my USB optical mouse. It wasn't a miraculous quantum leap but it was a definite improvement. My shooting accuracy went from around 20-25% (no, I wasn't real good at Vegas 2 to begin with) with the USB mouse up to around 30-35% on average with the Razer. Also, it takes some tweaking of the settings and a few gaming sessions of test driving to get the mouse just right for you.
I didn't give it 5 stars because I don't totally like the ergonomics of the mouse as much as just a plain old regular Dell or HP standard mouse. The Razer feels too long and low for my hands. Also the right side buttons aren't positioned very well (they're used for changing the sensitivity in-game). Also, $50 isn't exactly a bargain for such a simple device.
Overall, I'm happy with the mouse. Like I said, I became a better, more accurate player(about a 20-30% improvement in my accuracy) in Vegas 2. However, don't expect this mouse to perform miracles.

Summary: average mouse, get the logitech g5 instead!
Comment: So I just built my new gaming rig adn got it with this mouse, it's definetly a nice mouse, good feel, good speed, but my brother came home from college with his logitech g5, so i tried it out. I am now the official owner of a logitech g5 and it was a better mouse. The G5 has interchangable weights so you can have the weight you wish for gaming or what not, The g5 is also a bigger mouse so you get a better feel and a better grip on the mouse. So if you can grab yourself the G5 rather than any razer.

Summary: Somebody fed this mouse DECON!!!
Comment: However, I'm going to call a spade 'a spade' and just get right to it: the Razer Copperhead is a clean lined, well lighted piece of junk.
I bought the mouse about eight months ago, for a new gaming / media system that I was in the process of building. I got transfered out-of-state for a temporary (6 mos.) job assignment and the whole PC project got put on hold. When I returned, I completed the new system build (complete with a new install of XP (Pro) Media Center Edition). I installed my Panda 2006 Security & Antivirus and Office Pro 2003. I then spent two (2) full days doing broadband updates at Panda, Windows Update, & Office Update. The new system ran like a precision clock, no hint of a fault anywhere. Standard corded (PS2) mouse and wireless USB lazer mouse both performed flawlessly.
So now I remember that slick, new Copperhead sitting across the room on a bookcase shelf. I retrieve it, read all the install data, and install in on my new machine without any problems whatsoever. It ran beautifully as a standard, corded mouse for about sixteen (16) hours that day. I didn't try setting up any buttons and didn't have any games installed on the system yet...but, it still seemed to work great (in Profile 4, the only setting I chose) as a standard use mouse. During this first day, I had shut-down & restarted my new system four or five times without any system or Razer issues. The next day, however, the mouse only lights up (but no lazer emission on the bottom side) and the mouse cursor stays stationary at the center of the LCD display; it will not move. This mouse is dead at all USB ports; my old mice still work fine, everywhere. I've tried the uninstall-reinstall several times and of course went to that FANTASTIC :( support page at the Razer website to get the latest drivers & firmware, but it turns out that my driver CD already had the most up to date versions of both. No luck.
I can't risk fouling up this pristine PC and operating system install for the sake of prooving that this BOZO product is worth a third of the $62 asking price. Maybe I'll just use my standard cordless lazer mouse to avoid system risk and then try to figure out how to convert this Copperhead into a bathroom night light (for the Tidy Bowl Man).
