| My G5 is serving me well  so I recommend a G5, it's also got a fairly long wire so it doesn't get caught on anything.

| microsoft usb wheel mouse optical, had one for ages, the wire has never got caught on anything, and the batteries never run out (seeing as there are none), plus it's accuracy must be good enough seeing as i've HS all of you multiple times in CS.

| i have a microsoft Habu mouse wired its basically a razor copper head but slightly bigger i think, cord is long but i did have a small problem with it. it kept turning itself on and off then i found 3 of the wires had shorted together. didnt find anyone else that had same problem so i think i must have broken it but its ok now i re wired it | |

G5 is the recommended alternative to Razer for those with big hands. I remember once Queitis said his fingers were so fat he used to press multiple keys at once, so no wonder he loves the G5  j/k mate 
g5 for people with big hands?, dont you mean normal size hands or have you got hands the size of childs hands  | | | |

As the squire says, tis unbranded. Could be and is, is a big difference. Although at £18.00 squidlets, not sure on shipping, you can not really complain.
If you were to choose the Copperhead with its beautiful and yet thourghly practical menu in regards to making the mouse your own, you shall not be dissapointed, of that I can assure you. As other peeps have pointed out, if you could get your hand on one (literally!) that would be the TRUE deciding factor. Feel and comfort, maybe some beauty is esential, alot like a lady is what should be your deciding factor. How many hours will your hand be placed on it? Answer that, feel the mouse, the rest takes cae of itself. | | | |

| like para I to have a sweat stained probably about 5 year old optical microsoft mouse, never felt the need to get a "gaming mouse" there's only so fast you can move your hand up down left and right. To me it seems like an unecessary venture.
Gaming Joysticks, keyboards and keypads make sense
Gaming Mice strike me as a rip off. Then again Tongeh's mystery mouse did play musicÂ & i've not actually tried one out but ignorance is bliss for the now

| | My mouse is the same as Para's and I bought it in September 2002 so 5 years now... still going strong. I was tempted by a gaming mouse but they are rip offs IMO and the Razers have a high failure rate too apparently. | |

Mine is two and a half years old and still looking and playing as good as the day it was purchased. It was the features that sold me the mouse. I like to be able to configure....!!!

can't believe noone picked up on that little gem (OK, perhaps I'm the only one who's default setting is double-entendre) personally swear by logitech for almost any human interface device (keyboard, mosue, headphones)
Is that the new virtual Logitech girl?? 
You and your interface....
