I Fiend I said:
man I hate people who buy "gaming" mouses (or is it mice?

). I thought it was the saddest thing when my friend showed me that he has different weights that he can put into his mouse. I mean come on, I'll probably pwn you with mouse that still has the ball inside
The weights thing (G5?) are a bit much, but otherwise it is nice to have a mouse that is smooth and accurate. Once you've used one, you'll HATE using an old shitty one.
I had a logitech G7, which malfunctioned, but warranty covered that. I replaced it with a logitech MX Revolution, which also broke (again, not my fault at all). I then bought a Razer Copperhead like the OP, which has served me nicely for a while with no issues, plus it's smooth to use and has the nice dpi-changing buttons. Ripoff? Not even close.
That Cyborg RAC is the most awesome mouse ever, I might just get that some day.
