Well done saving the copperhead, 10+!!

I have one question, when you "separate" the above pcb from the other part (the one with the opticals etc.etc.) did you need to de-solder anything? I have some unfinished modding that needs to be done to my Razer, and it seems that the pins somehow are soldered right on..

nope they are not but their kinda tight like a glove just pull and it will come right off

i have something you may want to add.
a while back my copperhead was giving me problems(been using it for 2 years of heavy gaming). it was double clicking when i pushed one of the buttons down and it couldn't keep the switch engaged, even if i pushed all the way down on the button. i opened up the mouse to find that a groove had been worn into the buttons where their respective switches made contact, due to the fact that the button actually slides forward slightly on the switch every time you depress the button.
what i did to fix it was cut a very small square(about 2 or 3mm) of electrical tape, placed it in the groove, and then covered it in super glue to keep it in place and add rigidity. i sanded it down slightly so the entire surface was even, closed it up, and now it works better than it did when i bought it; the buttons are more responsive.

I think that my copperhead is dying. When I play the lights turn off and it stops working until I wiggle the wire. Is it worth fixing if I don't have any experience with this stuff? I might have a soldering iron. I don't have solder. I don't have electrical tape. I don't have a razor. I have a screwdriver and a table.

if you don't have the proper tools then it's not even a feasible fix. you could get the right tools, throw it away, give it to one of us and we can fix it and have a spare, or send it to one of us to have us fix it for you.

I have a g5 that is itching to have this done to it... It's something with the wire.
