Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Razer Copperhead Tempest Blue 2000 Dpi Mouse with built-in Memory
Customer Review: Great mouse... but the program is lacking
Summary: 4 Stars
This mouse is great, the Teflon pads are great. My previous mouse was wireless, so the wire is somewhat annoying, but it never looses connection like my last one. Very lightweight also (no batteries). I could not make the Razor program use back and forward as programmable buttons for web browsing though. I have used this on and off of a mouse-pad, and it works great either way.Customer Review: Razer Copperhead

This mouse is great. The programmable buttons are awesome for WOW. I like it best for 1st person shooter on Call of Duty. It's a really fast mouse. It's made to fit the grooves of your hand. I'm really happy with it. Customer Review: Awesome Mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really great mouse. I have never bought a professional mouse, but i finally did and I am glad i got it! Not only was it a good price, but it is so pretty too:) being a female gamer well woman in general, i have smaller hands than most. At first i was like gosh its so big, but i found a comfortable position. I also love the positioning of the buttons on the side. Also if you have never had a 2000dpi mouse get ready for some fast speed, but you can tweak the speed easily, with either windows mouse or the installation Cd that comes with it.

This mouse also lights up blue and looks really cool when you turn the light off. Overall, i am very satisfied with this purchase, especially the awesome discount that i got! The only thing i've heard is use a small air can to blow the laser on the bottom out like once every week or so to ensure there is no dust up in there! Hope this was helpful :)

Also i am looking for a good wireless gaming headset, if you know of one send me an email at roachthegirlygirl@yahoo.com

Customer Review: Great Mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
I have swapped out all of my gaming mouse for Razer mice. They are a bit pricey compared to the free mice one gets with a new computer but well worth it. Most of the features will never be used by most people, but the feel and control for gaming makes this and any Razer mice a necessity for gamers.Customer Review: Love/Hate Relationship
Summary: 3 Stars
I've had this mouse since Razer Copperhead came out and at first was thrilled at how beautiful it is. This impression faded as problems with it's drivers began, and it's beauty not worth headaches it created. For me ergonomics were functional being as I have a small hand, but it has a low profile which is fine if you don't mind controlling movement with first and second fingers primarily. It's an extremely light mouse without the 'optional' weights, so this is easy to do. Side buttons are only useful for Internet surfing, hard to use for gaming, and those on the right side impossible to locate or click without effort.
Cannot emphasize enough how eye candy the LED lighting is, but back to focusing on those horrific software issues. Firmware is deadly on this mouse. If they install badly, you no longer will have a Copperhead as it will die. Beyond that, you must install firmware through driver software which can be tricky if that software is acting up in the slightest - which it is known to do. If you decide to risk taking that leap (will most likely do so alone as Razer support is all but non existent or useless), you must evoke this process through driver software while unplugging the mouse while holding down a button on the bottom of the mouse without accidentally letting go (hard to tell if you have), then plug the mouse back in to the USB port. Don't know about you, but depending on location of your port, this can be difficult, and all you get are two hands to work with unless good with your feet. In my case this port is under my keyboard which I had to prop up, then do a balancing act while holding that button and plugging the mouse in! No firmware installation should require doing acrobatics far as I'm concerned.
What killed my mouse finally? Firmware which claimed to install perfectly, but in fact fried it. Why should I install firmware? Because it had suddenly and mysteriously vanished after re-seating memory modules on my computer. Why should this have made firmware vanish? Your guess is as good as mine! Razer isn't talking, and if they did would claim you did something wrong to cause this... but I can attest it isn't the customer's fault, it's their equipment and related bad software.
If you have money to burn and don't mind taking a chance, then this is the mouse for you, but if you are a person who has better things to do than constantly fuss with equipment and simply would like it to work as advertised, maybe you'd best keep shopping. Logitec has done a good job on their G5 recently, added buttons, and I don't hear anyone complaining about these problems with them. If these two companies put their heads together, Razer on design and 'cool factor', Logitec programmers on software, combined they could make the world's greatest gaming mouse. Unfortunately this isn't the case and what you get is a dilemma. Buy the eye candy and struggle, or one that works and only wish it looked better. For me it's been a love/hate relationship and I only wish someone had warned me in advance.
Having said this... their Diamondback sure looks great! Hahaha Heaven help me... ;^D
