Customer Reviews

Great looks but the G5 is better for everyday use and Gaming
I have both the G5 AND the Copperhead, so I hope this comparison helps:)

Ergonomics: The G5 is ALOT better for everyday use, more comfortable and the side buton is easier to reach than the 4 side buttons on the Copperhead. However, if you are left handed, then get the Copperhead without thinking as the G5 is only for people who use the right hand.

For gaming: The Copperhead has to long rubber covered buttons, they feel good but the wheel is not well positioned (its far away from your fingers) so it is not easily accessible. However, the wheel in the G5 is alot easier to reach. As we use this wheel to swith items/weapons in games, I think the G5 is better in this regard.

Also for everyday use, the G5 can do vertical and horizontal scrolling through the wheel. the wheel is alittle harder to move than the G5 but I got used to it.

Looks: The Copperhead looks great especially in the dark, I have the blue one and it looks awesome, the G5 isn't the best looking mouse in the market.

Extra Features: G5 comes with adjustable weights (a small metal box with many weights and a plastic cartridge where you can add the weights to, I added more weights and the mouse became more stable on my mouse pad. Copperhead doesn't come standard with weights.

Copperhead comes with onboard memory so it can saves settings and use them on more than one computer, plus it has the option to increase the polling rate to 1000Hz.

Add to this the feet of the mouse, the G5 have large feet so it slides more easily on the metal mouse pad, The Copperhead has smaller feet but they look more durable and more resistent to friction than those on the G5 (I have a feeling that the feet on the G5 will wear easily).

Very good mouse
The Razer Copperhead is a very nice mouse.
It is Laser, has 2000 DPI (which makes moving long distances quick, easy, and accurate)
It looks pretty cool too, it has the razer logo that throbs, but we all know that that has nothing to do with functionality.
This mouse functions exceptionally well, it has a built in IC that will allow you to change the settings of the mouse without any drivers on another computer between 5 custom made settings. This is very helpful for LANs where you don’t use your computer, or if you are lazy and just don’t want to install the razer drivers.
This mouse also should make the people who didn't like the Boomslangs’ shape happy as this is shaped more like a traditional mouse.
The thumb buttons are very well placed and feel very natural to press.
There are two buttons on the opposing side of the mouse that aren't quite so easy to press, but these were made for lefty's not really your pinky.
So when all is said and done you have 5 easily accessible buttons plus the scroll wheel and 2 extra buttons that if you are good can figure a way to work them.

Bottom Line:
This is a Gamer's Dream Mouse
This is a Photoshop users Dream Mouse
This is a lazy Modder's Favorite Mouse (Pre modded)

Big hands beware... (also Mac OS X users)
I was hopeful about using this mouse for gaming, and its response time did deliver. It is more precise in it's cursor control than any other mouse I've used.

However, it was apparently designed for someone with smaller hands than me. I find it's side buttons are difficult to use. They're very small and their action is not to my liking.

Further, I was hoping that third party drivers would provide the ability to use all of the buttons when using Mac OS X Tiger. The Steer Mouse driver provided the best support and it supports everything except the right side buttons. I've found nothing that supports those buttons on the Mac platform to date.
