Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Razer Copperhead Tempest Blue 2000 Dpi Mouse with built-in Memory
Customer Review: Good, Bad, and Indifferent
Summary: 3 Stars
I was really excited to have the Copperhead, and when I first installed the software, that blue glow hypnotized me. What's more, I could see the performance gain instantly--some games I have to turn down the polling rate so I don't sprint circles around the competition. It's even really great for steadiness, working in Photoshop and such: just quickly tap the dpi buttons to get what you want.
Unfortunately, the infrastructure surrounding the Copperhead is not so forgiving. Updating drivers is a bit of a nuisance and prone to bugs. Firmware updates became nigh impossible until I looked in various forums and found tons of users with the exact same problem. After some agonizing "burden of proof" with tech support, they sent me a new Copperhead. I have no idea why hardware would suddenly fail so critically: I've had bad firmware updates that just need to be re-run--they don't brick the unit. But when this happened, I was hosed without a replacement.
I won't buy one again. I'll enjoy what I have. And given the Vista headaches I'm now having with my Lachesis, I don't think the software problems are going to get better for the Copperhead: Razer's probably on to bigger and better things.
Customer Review: Just a warning for people with big hands
Summary: 3 Stars
This isn't a bad mouse and the other reviews are accurate for sensitivty, etc
The only real drawback: this thing is tiny
If you have big man hands; you may experience hand cramps trying to hold this thing. I experience pain just trying to curl my fingers in a way that lets me even reach the buttons on the side (they are "under" the side edge and tucked inwards)
If you have little girly hands; than this is a fine gaming mouse
For me; I'm sticking with the logitech series of game mice; they are far more ergonomic for large hand sizes
If you decide you really want a razer branded mouse; try one of the other razer series, some of them are at least medium size (like the lachesis); but the copperheads are the smallest mice I've ever tried (and we have dozens of various gaming mice at my job)
Customer Review: Razaer Copperhead
Summary: 4 Stars
The Razer design and construction is quite nice, and the options for controlling DPI, sensitivity, etc via the bundled softare are excellent. Overall its a great product. I gave it four stars because its not quite as comfortable as the mouse it replaced (MS w'less Laser 6000). However, this a gaming mouse that is still pretty comfortable, looks great and works a treat. I am more than happy with the purchase.
Customer Review: Amazing Mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
I simply love this mouse. It has everything i could ever want in a mouse for a fair price. Everything works properly and the software was easy to install. I do have a couple complaints. The two left-click and right-click buttons are very long. Im still kinda adjusting now and then for comfort. And the two side buttons on the right hand side are nearly impossible to use, although i do believe they are for left handers. However these are minor complaints that make no difference in the long run. This is the fastest mouse i have ever own. Its just simply amazing and the Teflon feet help make it glide across your desk/mousepad. A feature i found kind of useless is the built-in memory. Im the only one using this mouse so saving different settings like DPI is well....useless :(. And last but not least, the glow! Its pretty birght, and when i turn the lights off its like a bright blue alien light. I know thats kinda silly but this mouse is just that awesome!Customer Review: Fast, Accurate Mouse but....
Summary: 4 Stars
I love the accuracy this mouse provides. The feet work wonderfully with my mouse pad, i feel very little friction (almost like mousing on ice). One of my favorite features is the on-the-fly dpi changer. The side buttons can be clicked to make the mouse move faster or slower on the screen instantly. My only problems with the mouse are: 1 sometimes the drivers freak out, 2 There is no Mac OSX support, and 3 The mouse is a little small for my bear-like-sized hand.
