    I tried it at Best Buy. It feels pretty nice, but I'm used to my G7. It's also been getting good reviews so far. Also check out the Lachesis or whatever (Razer's newest mouse).

    I have the Copperhead at the moment and I had the Diamondback before it. I absolutely love my Copperhead. I am considering trying one of the new Razer mice to see if I like it better.

    It will be either the DeathAdder or the Lachesis for me (I didn't know the latter existed until now . . .). The DeathAdder got an extremely high rating at ExtremeTech - the highest rating possible as a matter of fact, 10/10.

    The DeathAdder is reasonably priced; I wonder how much more the Lachesis will be.

    hopefully not too much. razer products are usually pretty high priced when released (they are quality though) so i will probably wait a little while before i get one.

    i would go the deathadder over the diamond back, but the death adder would be about even with the copperhead.

    the 3G sensor works better on all surfaces, i dunno about the diamondback's dpi but the deathadder has 1800 and its optical not laser which sounded better than it was on some surfaces apparently.

    also the design makes the buttons and scroll wheel easier to access. the wheel is mounted lower than the typical mouse.
