Man, I wish I was this excited about mine, I have 3!

Hahahahahha. :D

I had a copperhead that was a good mouse wear and tear over the years lasted a good while and had good features I would recommend to people who like to have all the side buttons, It lasted about a couple of years the buttons wore eventually and it wouldnt register but over 300 clan matchs in cod4 was the main attribution to that.

I had a razer lachesis and it pissed me off so much I literally threw it against the ground in a rage as the side buttons had a habit of getting stuck on the profile switchs inside the mouse resulting it being unusable as it would constantly switch profiles. Lasted about 8 months before I threw it - had problems about 4 months in had to unwedge one of the buttons with a knife

I now own a razer abyssus and its prob my fav of the lot, ambi and basic, I just like it fast and dont like/care having 20 buttons either side my hand. doesnt need any software and you can sinply adjust the dpi and polling with switchs at the bottom

It sounds extreme but be sure to measure your hand and look at the prefered grip style before buying to ensure you can hold it at your prefered position

I do throughly recommend the razer exactmat/exactrest as well esp if you game/work a lot it has saved me from carpel tunnel singlehanded. I use a tarantula keyboard as well and agree definately the best brand ive seen the cost is a reflection of quality in this instance

I had a Razer Copperhead and loved it, but the ergonomics of it were weird. It seemed to be designed for you to kinda grip the mouse like a claw rather than laying your hand flat on it. I eventually replaced it with a Microsoft Sidewinder.

I've wanted to buy another Razer mouse, like the Naga or Deathadder, but I picked up the Cyborg RAT 7 instead. I do have the Razer eXactmat with the gel grip, and it's a really nice surface compared to my glass desk.
