Introduction

First off I would like to thank Nick and Mike of CrazyPCfor providing us with this review sample.

When we hear Razer, the first thing we think of is mice. High performance gaming mice made by gamers for gamers is what they do and they are mighty good at it. Bringing us the Diamondback and now the Razer series, they definitely know how to make a mouse.

Packaging

The Copperhead is packaged so that you can see it through the packaging. The back is all about the specs, much of the writing is just the specs in different languages.


An up-close of the specifications, many of which we already listed


The side of the box gives even more specs, but the graphics and charts are pretty cool


Here is just a little message from the "Razerguy"


When you open up the manual, you get three surprises: a certificate from the "RazerGuy", a message telling you the stock DPI settings, and a stylish manual.


The manual is useful and has tons of info on how to set and use the mouse. There is also a driver and application CD in the back.

Mouse and Software

When you first take it out of the box it looks like any other mouse, but when you take a closer look below.


Above photos are the leftside, rightside, top and bottom, they tell a lot about the mouse itself. From what I have experienced it is a very comfortable mouse and I have large hands. The buttons are pretty big and allow me to easily press them down. The buttons on the side can be assigned with the software to do almost anything you want them to. From changing the DPI to going back and forth on the internet.


This picture shows the curve of the mouse from the back.

The golden USB connector does not make any difference in signal quality, it still is nice to look at.


Here is the software that is used to control the mouse and precisely tune it. In the bottom you can drag some buttons for changing the DPI and polling rate. Then you click apply and your settings are transferred to the mouse.


Here are the mouse click options. They apply to the four mini buttons on the side of the mouse.
