well the g5 looks good except that the laser is off center which i dont want, it makes it extramly agrivating to do certain things while drawing/modeling because if you even slightly rotate the mouse then the point goes on a different axis, it needs to be dead center Im debating between the ms habu and the razer copperhead, their both a little pricy but look like they owuld be exatly what i would wnat. I dont suppose anyone wants to give me a christmas present eh?

Well the Lachesis has that perfectly centered laser.

Honestly if I had to choose between the copperhead and the habu, I'd pick the habu without a second thought.

Thanks unix, made my desicion easier, your opinion is valued as always. what do you make of all the people complaining about having software issues and problems updating the firmware? and acording to osme people razer doesnt support the habu

I recommend the Logitech MX18 best bang for the buck or the Razer Death Adder both good mice and both are optical.

Consider it a lesser of two evils.
Copperheads are evil. My friend's copperhead has failed twice in 6 months (the darn thing seems to burn itself out).

This is how one must deal with a razer copperhead (just to prevent any confusion the guy in the video is not the friend I was mentioning lol):
(watch this video)

The Razer Deathadder has a comfortable shape. It should be around the same price as the other 2. I'm not sure about the center/off center part but if passes then you might want to consider it too.

I personally own an MX518 (rev1), it's fantastic (just ask the poor dudes with sr-8 shot holes in their heads). The price is much less, the drivers are great etc but despite all this I don't consider this a designer's choice for a mouse.

lol that video was great, well so much for the copperhead i guess, i really like the looks of that habu, I may just have to brave it and see, Im gonna have to 'suggest' it as a christmas present for me to some people lol
