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)

I am very happy with the Copperhead mouse. I bought it to play Battlefield 2. Great for when u need to move around quicker, such as in a tank. If you go as a sniper, and need to some accuracy, you simply slow it down. Would I do it all over again? Absolutely!

If you are buying a mouse, just as if you are buying about anything else, it is always helpful to “try before you buy” or at least become acquainted with your personal likes and dislikes concerning the important aspects of a certain product before purchasing it. For gaming mice, these tend to be Accuracy, Comfort, Buttons, and Extra Features.
I start by saying this because I hastily purchased a G5 before considering these issues and was quite disappointed when I began using it and soon realized that it was not the right “fit” for me. Yes, you can guess that I went to the Razer Copperhead after that, and, yes, I am quite satisfied with that purchase. My main issue with the G5 was it’s “ergonomic,” right-hand-molded fit. The thing is, not everybody’s hand is going to fit comfortably with a one-size-fits-all deal like that. I discovered that since I’ve grown accustomed to traditional mouse shapes, mice with those shapes are going to be better for me than those that are molded to a specific hand (thus the Copperhead over the G5). OK, I’ll stop myself before going into a full-blown essay (this’ll be close haha). Just remember that *there is no “best mouse”*: there is only the *best fit for you*.
I’m gonna try to leave the G5 out of my rating here: this is not supposed to be a comparison, though I will do some of that since for many people it’s either G5/7 or Copperhead.
ACCURACY: You only have to read the specs up top, here. 2000 dpi is great, and the Copperhead packs enough features in the sensitivity/tracking/responsiveness area to keep 99% of people happy. No one debates that point. On a side note, the mouse has some tiny feet and I have some trouble getting it to glide smoothly on my cheap, cloth pad (the G5 had no such trouble).
COMFORT: *Careful consideration of this aspect COULD make the difference in buying a Copperhead or finding something else.* The mouse is symmetrical (built equally for both hands), much like more basic mice. Razer has made an effort to make it comfortable and ergonomic, overall, but has not designed it/molded it to exactly fit your hand (as is the case with the G5). Many people will be happier with a different mouse design: you just have to know beforehand. Borrow mice you are interested in from your friends, if they have them; go to the store and buy a cheap symmetrical and a cheap right-molded (or left-molded) mouse and figure out which you like better. Also, the Copperhead is lightweight: lighter than the G5 without the weight tray. You could order the kit to change that, but who wants to void their warranty, anyway?
Me? I love the way the Copperhead fits. I just lazily drape my hand over it, heel/wrist planted behind, thumb half on the rubber rail and half over the side buttons, ring finger holding the mouse on the opposite (slanted downward, crossing the rail, with the finger tip touching the mouse pad or raised up depending on the situation), and pinkey dragging or elevated next to the ring finger. Pointer and middle fingers operate the main buttons, of course. Honestly, the Copperhead leaves some room for you to determine your own grip, so that would vary depending on your preference.
BUTTONS: Feel good, don’t slip, have good response, are clicky (I like clicky). The mouse wheel, which is textured and moves in set increments (but lacks left/right scrolling), is a little too far out, I think, but I have little trouble operating it. Left side buttons’ position and feel are perfect for me. My thumb has easy access and operation in its usual position. The right side buttons are, let’s face it, impossible. They default to sensitivity up/down, and that’s good cause I rarely change that anyway, but if you wanted to have 2 useful buttons on that side, well, you’re more or less outta luck (The G5′s sensitivity buttons are up top).
EXTRA FEATURES: The ability to save profiles on your mouse is nice, and the software offers pretty good customization options, but I’m more interested in the other aspects of the Copperhead. You’ll have to talk to someone else about its other features.
I don’t think I forgot anything… at least not much, maybe. I give it 4 out of 5 with marks off for the two near-useless side buttons, lack of left/right mouse wheel scroll, and lack of weight customization options. I could count off more for that last bit but I chose to penalize more for what the Copperhead had but did wrong than what it didn’t have at all. Just be a good, little buyer and “try before you…” yeah, you know. =p At least have an idea of what you like beforehand.

This mouse is the best mouse ever made; it fits my hand perfectly. I love the feel of this mouse and its response is simply amazing. It’s the perfect mouse even for precision gaming and the green color is awesome!

I am all around pleased with the product, although when i first received it, it was defective and had to be replaced. However after recieving a repacement promptly, I found that the custom profiles and precision of this mouse was very nice. I reccomend it to people who need a precision mouse for gaming and for everday users looking for a comfortable mouse to use.

I bought this mouse 2 years ago this April and I’ve had absolutely no complaints. It’s fantastic for gaming and just casual computer work. I’d much rather prefer this over a wireless.

I’ve got this mouse last Christmas. First I thought I would only use it for gaming but decided to try it for everything. First day was hard, as I was used to moving mouse all over my desk to move cursor from one monitor to another. With this mouse I’m able to do it in like 2″x1″ space. On the second day I felt happy because I could easily target anything on my screen with a sligh move. Now I always take this mouse when I need to use another computer for a long time as other mouses are too slow.
As for gaming, in MMORPGs this mouse is great. When you want to turn any angle, you just move a mouse slightly and there you are. Right buttons are meant for dpi change and I advice to disable them for gaming, as you don’t want to set minimal dpi in the middle of the fight. Left buttons are great, I use them for the most common actions.

When I saw people raving about the razer I decided to give it a look, especially since I needed a gaming mouse considering that the one I had just did not cut it. I looked at a lot of their products including the Lachesis and Death Adder, but the Copperhead had a pretty good reputation so I decided to pick it up.
When I got it I was excited as a little kid, I immediately installed the drivers and started messing with it. But I noticed that if you have windows vista it’s a good idea to download the new firmware from razor so your os will detect the mouse. It was a little odd but it was made back in 2006 or so, so I understand.
The mouse itself is amazing, I played bf2142 for a whole month before I got this mouse and I have to admit my old mouse was the main reason I didn’t do as well. The response time and dpi was crap compared to this mouse. When I started playing with it my frag count went up…a lot. I know they say the hardware doesn’t give you skill, but I can honestly say it does enhance it quite a bit. You just see the difference when you go from your old mouse to your new one and it just feels great. The mouse itself is light and takes a little while to get used to, but it’s not that big of a deal unless your hands are rather large. The side buttons could be a little bigger but thankfully they’re not so small that they’re impossible to reach.
I’d recommend trying it out first, getting the feel for it before you buy it. And if you don’t like it go for the Logitech G5, it’s no better or worse than this mouse, but you may prefer the feel of it better.

I’ve had this mouse for close to a year and a half, and it is just wonderful. For the little PC gaming I do, it is amazing. The assignable buttons are invaluable for fast spell or weapon changes and the ability to change the dpi on the fly is excellent for those times when you need to go from high precision to swinging all the way across the screen. The ability to save several settings profiles is a plus as well. I also have the Copperhead Protools, and added some of the extra weights to make the mouse just perfect.
This mouse also excels at more mundane tasks. It consistently tracks well, and is very precise, which is a plus when entering music in various notation software. The only disappointing thing about it is that Razer no longer makes it!
