The sensor is fantastic, infact definately the best amongst all MS mice I've used and the MX518, G5's also (even though its the same engine)..
Plus shape is a killer, streamlined body and 100% ambidextrous..
yes i have. any person who knows a bit about sensors or is serious about gaming will tell you that laser is nothing but a marketing gimmick which doesn't work well on all surfaces. that is why i said the sensor is lousy. it doesn't work well unless you are lucky enough to find a pad that complements it. most new optical mice do not have that problem. they work on glass, steel, aluminum, plastic, cloth and whatever else mousepad manufacturers use these days. also the 1ms polling rate which razer advertises for the copperhead doesn't really hold up most of the time. you get a lot of erratic polling with it which isn't good. the shape IS good though.
the diamondback WAS great, while it lasted.
@iosoft, whatever you meant by that.. it wasn't funny in the least bit. i'm just posting my personal experience here with razer products as some people who would like to hear first hand experience when buying something expensive may find it useful.
