Copperhead or G5?!

[Venson]

I'm leaning towards the Copperhead heavily now, what do you guys think?

 

[Megatomic]

double ewe tee eff?

i.e. I don't know what either are in this context. Copperhead = poisonous snake, G5 = expensive Apple computer.

 

[Venson]

: / that doesn't help much!

raz0r has lights coming out the side plus only two buttons well it has more but they cant be used because they are so hard to push while playing IMO logitech makes some of the best mouses and keyboards out not to mention there speakers and such. i have the mx-518 now and i dont know how you could go wrong with the g5.

edit: + the g5 is cheaper = get a new keyboard with extra money

Money is not an issue when it comes to gaming equipment . And the G5 isnt by Razor it's by Logitech the Copperhead is by razor.

The HELL you say! $80 is way too much for a mouse...

LOL @ this review:

"wow the paint job it's seek,it look awesome and wor awesome too,the on the fly dpi stuff is great and it's fast too the poli feets are smuth like butter so it moves efortless over my mouse pad,the wheel feels caind a hard but it gave you presition,and the weight adjustment is great too,on the sides it's like grippi (like a texture for a better grip), plus the usb cable is long and it's wrap in colth,the best it's not wireless, this is a very unique mouse and for me is the best out there,the only thing its a little bit big just a little but all the mouse to in day are big "


Anyway I have the G5 and like it, very smooth, would prefer that the side to side buttons work in games, which they do not, so unless that is fixed you actually lose a button. I do like it better than the MX518

get the g5. and i know the razor makes the dimaondback and lotgitech makes the g5 i did not mean it that way.

 

[suicidalpigeon]

i'd go with the g5, mainly because it's cheaper with adjustable dpi. i can give a rats arse if it's so sexy looking, no one looks at their mouse when using it anyways.

You do know the Razor's have adjustable DPI as well, no? Who do you think Logitech copied.

The only thng i dont like about my razor is there is no default back/forward buttons on it for IE. They really are strictly gaming mice.

I would get the G5 if you need an all around mouse... Otherwise, get the copperhead.

 

[w00t]

adjustable dpi is dumb seriously i dont use it at all in bf2 you set the dpi you want in cs you can set the sens of scope in cs you dont turn it down or turn it up for no reason like that there is just no point i see to adjustable dpi.

Yeah mine always has flaky food and dust all ove it... among other things.

Get the G5. The Razor looks like a cheap two-button mouse and feels that way in you're hand. The G5 just has a nice ergonomic design I prefer.

Hmmm, why don't you go to a store and see which one feels better? After all, isn't a mouse the only part of a computer you control by touch?

Personally, I love my MX1000, and don't care for the Copperhead.

Keyboard, on switch, reset switch, PSU master power switch, touchpad, keyboard nub (the red thing on some of the IBM keyboards), joystick, gamepad, and drawing pad all can control the computer. Also, these ramblings give me +1 post.

I picked up the G5 today. It was a good solid replacement for my aging MX510. I considered the Razer mouse, but, I found it to be very uncomfortable. The shape didn't work for me.

 

[hurtstotalktoyou]

$60+ for a mouse? Geez Louise.

Anyway, that said, the G5 has been tested and is known to be wonderful. I have not seen any tests or official reviews for the Copperhead, although it is expected to be similarly amazing.

Go with what you know is good, not what you expect will be good.

 

[bjc112]

$80 is WAY out of my league for a mouse!

 

[duckdown]

<3 the razer

 

[Unkno]

logitech = cheaper and most importantly bigger (for those with big hands)

 

[Venson]

Well I went with the G5 and I am damn glad I did. This mouse is just amazing along with a supermat, and I have used alot of good mice. Thanks for the comments guys.

 

[Makaveli]

I just picked up a G5 aswell love it.

 

[Googer]

Logitech G5. This months issue of Maximum PC does a head to head compairison between Razor and Logitech G5. Razor Scored a 3 and G5 got an 8 or 9.
