The Razer Copperhead is another veteran from the gaming scene, and we decided
to see how it stood against the newer-generation mice. In the dark, you'll see the sides of the mouse light up along with the scroll wheel and the pulsating Razer logo-pretty! The mouse is symmetrical, and a little tall and long. Although this is great news for left handers, it's not the best palm-hugging mouse there is.

With a 2000 dpi sensor, the mouse is good enough for anyone. Pump up the polling rates and you'll see accuracy and reaction times improve immediately. It tracks flawlessly-no skips, nothing. The Copperhead has two buttons on each side: the ones on the right are used to increase or decrease the sensor dpi. This place¬ment is not ideal, though, and we feel it would have been better fitted at the top-centre of the mouse-like with the Razer Lachesis.





The cables on the Copperhead are long and thin, just like with the Lachesis. The three teflon pads are thin, but work well to allow you to slide the mouse around easily, precluding any unwanted friction¬related jerks. The Copperhead is available for just Rs 4,250. Despite its age, it's still a good investment. The performance is great, but the shape might be a cause for concern for some.

Summing It Up InpuT devices are getting sleeker and ergonomic over time, and this is creating a few problems along the way. What's the point of sleek looks if they're not functional... a lot of keyboards miss out on basics like a light for [Caps Lock] or [Num Lock] or both. Unlike the trend of a few years ago, today, a fewer number of keys on a keyboard tends to drive up the price. Also, moving keys about and changing layouts might not always be a smart idea. What's more, too much customisation can confuse people. The majority of casual users are used to using the mouse for every¬thing, so a lot of the added function buttons seem to be a waste. We'd suggest you spend a little time with your devices before buying.
