The Razer Copperhead was given a 3/10 by MaxPC in their 12/2005 issue on pg 90. Has some firmware issues and they don't like the shape or button placement.  Sounds like a real hunk of junk.


I totally disagree with MaxPC's review and if they're complaining about the placement of the buttons, it really shows how limited the insight of the reviewer was. The Copperhead's shape is optimized for a claw hander. The buttons on the side of the mouse are impossible to reach if you're palm hand mouser, but very convenient if you're a claw hand. Can you think of any mice in which it's actually easy and comfortable to hit one of the buttons with your little finger?

You just insulted the entire Democratic party in the U.S. On the other hand, shouldn't a society take care of its disadvantaged members and isn't that a limited form of socialism?

Taxes are socialistic, everything you use and don't immediately pay for is socialistic. use a drinking fountain without getting charged, drive on a road without a toll, or a sidewalk for that matter. you are just using words without bearing. why is this forum filled with trolls.

I'm talking about socialism -- of course we utilize socialistic principles (not in every situation), but not socialism entirely. IF that was the case, it would cause unbalance. You can't have too little authority, you can have too much authority, etc. Governments have to be balanced out very carefully.

I guess not many people understand politics these days...

He's looking for the jobs Obama claims to have created or saved. Lens caps on or off, he sees no jobs. We need to revive the WPA and put some people to work on that southern fence.

Oh I hope you're kidding.

Wouldn't something sustainable and more long-term, even involving the delays associated with doing it properly, be a better goal rather than "lol look I have a job now!"?


Yes, only kidding.

Fear & consumer confidence are a major contributors to the current economic stagnation. Obama & congress had the opportunity to pass legislation that would impose reasonable limitations on the financial institutions and their derivative products. Unfortunately, the bill that passed was authored by two of the biggest clown puppets of Wall street and the banks in my opinion, Dodd and Frank. Does not inspire confidence. Wasted opportunity. I think a lot of people expected much more of Obama.

....after we secure the southern border, then we can start on that northern border. :biggrin:

I've always wanted to visit Canada and get a sense of the culture. It seems every Canadian female I meet is drop dead gorgeous. What are you guys feeding them up there?

...and I just noticed that the lens caps are on.
I think just about anyone will have a few moments like this captured on film if there's a pack of photographers following you around the world constantly.

There was raw uncut footage that US forces found in Iraq when they were hunting for the then leader of Al Qaeida in Iraq, Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi. He's his menacing self in the video, except for the end in which he fires off a shower of bullets from a machine gun for the camera and then proceeds to burn his hand by grabbing the red hot muzzle of the automatic weapon when he's done... and that was one of the the most feared men in America.

The grass must always be greener... I have a female friend who once claimed the same, but in reverse. She said that the men are more men who are really good looking in Canada so that there's less of a penalty for not being a hottie.

To the OP, I think you're looking for...



And I think he's a revolutionary socialist, from the southern border issue, not the northern one.

PS: For all the bad review of the MX-518, mine sits on a rocketfish mouse surface (anodized aluminum, with two sides) and I have no issues with it whatsoever. It can go faster than I really want it to, so I use the "minus" button, and the "control" side of the surface. I use it for everything, including PCB layout in Eagle, and so far (over a year) I love it.

My favorite fast mouse is the Saitek Notebook mouse. It's very fast and precise and I like the small size of it because I can move it very fast and far with just my fingers.

If you want a fast mouse, just use teflon sliders underneath, which cost pennies. Just lump a single or double layer on the original sliders of a mouse. May need a different pad afterwards.
