    not the copperhead, but i have the diamondback which is similar shape.

    It took a little while to get used to it, I am a logitech suppoter, but once used to it, its really great. i suggest have a play around with one first to see if you like the shape. there have been plenty of good reviews on it, and it seems that most people have liked it.

    have you checked out the g5 for a comparison?

    I've been using the Copperhead for about a year and it has been fantastic to me. It's very light and thanks to Teflon pads, it slides very easily across a mousepad. The shape fits my hand very well (see if you can try it out beforehand so you make sure it fits you too).

    For that price you may also consider the DeathAdder which I have. Only for righties, but it is accurate, has a cool glowing logo that fades in and out and the same teflon feet for silky smooth gliding

    Also, buy from ebuyer ;) They are still doing the spend £30, save £10 with google checkout ;) I used it to buy 2x HDs and the Logitech VX (sep orders of course)

    I have the Copperhead, I had to RMA it once so far (their service was decent, and they shipped me a brand new one)

    The issue I have with the Copperhead is that apparently the materials isn't of the greatest quality, and so I had a USB disconnect/reconnect issue. The mouse would periodically/randomly turn on and off.

    Other than that, the mouse is great :O Works well in conjunction with a Func Archetype mouse pad (I have the metal base)

    My Microsoft mouse would do that, but the problem turned out to be faulty drivers. Maybe the unit was fine?
