I too have a Copperhead (the Green One). Well I did until I replaced it with this one.

Yep, all of what you said. I've had my Copperhead for over 15 months now and the sensor died on me about 3 months ago, I sent it to my PC shop so they could get a warranty repair done and it came back No Fault Found. I was annoyed to say the least and I don't, for a minute blame Razer for a bad product, I still highly recommend them (I actually took the mouse apart myself, re-seated the sensor and it was as good as new again).
The only downfall I found with the Copperhead was the placement of the buttons on the "NON THUMB" side of the mouse. You have to be, nearly, a contortionist to reach them. I actually only assigned these to Sensitivity adjustment and Profile changes, leaving the other 2 for the regular shortcuts in game like Melee and Ventrilo chat. I find that I can mostly configure the in game options for the buttons I would normally assign to the "Other mice buttons" to the same button as it is for another setting.
This is Main weapon= Number 3 AND Primary vehicle=Number 3 (assigned to side button)
Pistol=Wheel button AND secondary seat in vehicle = Wheel button.
You get the picture

Size of the M3 compared to the Copperhead was a little tedious at first but I love it now. Over sexxxxxxed??? Not really. It looks NICE, not really sexxxxxy I like the fact that it doesn't reek of Carbon Fibre or any Over sexed, Under functional mouse that looks better than it operates.
It DOESN"T (or hasn't) failed to register a click. I just need to work out how to program the macros a little better (but at least the Raptor has full Macro writing ability) I've not been able to pull something similar on my Copperhead at all (just keystrokes) So this is far from a downfall, just me not being educated enough to be able to figure out the programming of the Macros.

It's MY PURSE and MAN Bag. Gods can keep his paws off. It matches my Lycra G-Strink and Bra.

The Buttons under the thumb on the Razer are good in general, (depending on taste as to what mouse has the better placement) The other goodie is the fact that the Razer is Ambidextrous where the Raptor isn't. I'm sure the lefties look for that at our level tho. Basically the "other" buttons are a bit inconvenient and
odd, meaning I don't really see them as the deciding factor on the Razer over the Raptor.
I like my copperhead's side button placement, but I hate my young bloke's Diamondback's side button placement.

If it's set very low it will make you feel that you are like pulling the cursor around with an elastic. |
Awesome. Thanks heaps for explaining how that works. I am all the better off now knowing what to expect if I mess with it.
