Re: Comtemplating Purchase
I bought the Razor Diamondback Plasma LE about 6-7 months ago and I found it way too low in height but had awesome response, width but it has such a low profile, too low for my big hand
. I forgot to take it back even after paying 100$ for it but I ended up getting the Logitech G5 (best mouse I've used so far) Anyways like matdef said try it out first.

Re: Comtemplating Purchase
I wrote a review when I was first got my mouse..............here it is, hope that is of atleast some help.

First of all I think I have only ever used two mice, the second more gaming
wise. Originally I had a cheapo £10ish ball mouse and secondly a bog-standard MS Optical Mouse.
So after a massive problem with delivery my Razer arrived today. After a particularly boring day at head I returned home to this baby and all I can say is WOW! I never realized how much of a difference a gaming mouse can make.
First of all what is in the box:
Your new mouse
A certificate of authenticity
A manual.
The box itself
After a few minutes of wrestling with the box and plastic thing and trying to keep it in one piece I got into the real deal. Let me just take a moment to describe my first impressions. Its light. A lot lighter than my old mouse that was what stood out. At first in the box the mouse didn't visually look that impressive the same when I had taken it out its box.
So I had a quick flick through the manual I placed it on my desk whilst doing so I noticed how well it skimmed across my desk the Teflon really is leaps and bounds above my old mouse this combined with being so light really impressed me.
The components out on the desk
So I connected her up to my rig. After I had retrieved my head from the back of the my PC I noticed how good looking it was from the ergonomic look and feel and the lights. I continued on to installing the drivers and then as always restarting.
As you guys may or may not know this mouse has 7 programmable buttons. Another thing that I noticed that was really different from my MS Optical mouse was the size of the two main buttons. They are HUGE! I never expected them to be so big.
I've got fairly small hands and these buttons are gigantic!
I'm not going to deny it at first your not going to play as well as you normally do. Its very different and you need to find a DPI that suits you and the game that you are playing. So I booted up vBF2, I played for Vanilla for first time since PoE2 was released last night, needless to say last night I got my back-side handed to me. However this evening after about ~10 minutes of getting used to the high DPI in comparison to my old mouse I started really getting some kills and decent Kill to Death ratio.
Next thing the buttons as I mentioned earlier the Razer Copperhead has 7 programmable buttons, I haven't got round to playing too much with this I've set up two of my buttons to bring up the Med Pack and Shock Paddles which after a little while getting used to not gripping my mouse so much became very useful.
Secondly DPI. You can adjust this with the standard config by pushing one of the buttons on the right hand side of the mouse on of the two buttons takes the DPI up from 400 to 800 to 1600 and finally to 2000. The second button (the closest to you) is used to take it back to the default 400. On the under side there is a useful little button that is used to reset your profile and DPI.
The underside the button I was talking is in between the laser and the bottom teflon pad
I went on to test it in SWAT4:TSS the game is not really suited to moving your character around quickly as it affects your accuracy a lot. It was useful and a hindrance I will probably be using like 800DPI for SWAT. A high DPI will be very useful for RTS, I gave it a quick run on the top DPI on AOE3 and found it extremely useful to scroll across the map a lot, lot quicker than I would normally.
The copperhead in all its glory
(Excuse the bluryness for some reason its realy bad when flash is off
That about it to be honest if you have any questions you want to ask or you want me to take anymore pictures of this thing then just shoot otherwise I’m going to go get accustomed to this mouse some more!Comment

Re: Comtemplating Purchase
I have a Razor Viper. I have had it for a little over 2 years now. It still runs as fast as it did on day one.Originally posted by SERIALBUTCHER
Only complaint: When I click-in on the scroll wheel, nothing happens. The scroll wheel clicker thingy is broken (wheel still works great though).
My mouse: (Yes, it lights up exactly like that)
One other thing you may be interested in that you can't see from the pictures is the sort of "grip" on the mouse buttons. If you haven't felt it for yourself it is hard to explain - all the Razors have it. It is some sort of non-slide grip, extremely smooth, allows for great precision. I absolutely love it.
Razor users you guys know what I'm talken' about.Comment

Re: Comtemplating Purchase
I've got a Copperhead. I like it it's not as heavy as the G5 and it has a refresh rate / fps / polling rate / hz of 1000. I just love it and the onboard memory is very nifty.Comment

I was going to buy the Razor Diamondback Slamander R2 for $69, but I then noticed the Razor Diamondback Salamander R1 (same specs) for $50 w/ 15 instant rebate for a net price of $35
The R2 seems to be the same as the R1 w/ cosmetic changes (a larger clear window, & more lights)
Do you know anything about this?
