I really like the fact that I don't have to use two buttons to adjust the mouse sensitivity, if you want to use two, at least you don't have to reach up to the top of the mouse like on the G5.

You don't reach to the top on a G5, the buttons are under the roller-wheel.

The sensitivity buttons are in a terrible place. The last thing I want to do is take my finger off of either the left or right mouse button to adjust sensitivity. It's much easier to simply click the right button by my ring finger, and move the mouse wheel with my middle finger. This is especially true for me because the left and right clicks encircle the roller-wheel, so I can have my finger on the roller wheel and still shoot without adjusting my fingering. With the copperhead, I don't ever have to adjust my grip on the mouse, I can reach every button without doing that. With the G5, I have to move my hand to reach buttons and I don't like that.



Example of the left/right click and roller-wheel placement on the copperhead. Notice the lack of a "dead zone" on the mouse.

**edit** If you're having disconnection problems with the mouse. Razer takes the mouse back and ships you a new one.

What is this nonsense about LEDs not producing any warmth? You're telling me that they're 100% efficient? And they're of considerable size in order to become pretty warm. Believe me, even these silly 3mm LEDs that I use with my LPC2130 can become quite warm.

I've never been attracted to these 'gaming mice'. Especially that 'super gaming fatal1ty mouse'. MX1000 here. It's great, and it's a battery version so I don't have to deal with any down time. The batteries last a week or two and I replace them within 10 seconds (approx!). I don't need a over-sensitive mouse for flying because I have a joystick for such things. And besiiiiiiides; flying choppers with a joystick is so much more fun (offtopic: I never had any problems with helicopters in BF2 because I played a lot of BF:V!).

I had a Copperhead for a day, then had to take it back cause it was so damn uncomfortable... Ergonomic issue, i got big hands, got muscle spasms after an hour using it. I didn't like the way the buttons were so far down the side either.  Went and got a logitech 'high performance laser mouse'... M400 or something...not sure... but I love the upgrade to laser. the extra side movement on the scroll button is nice too!
