Nice features, poor ergonomics
Pros: 2000DPI! 32kb buffer RAM! Fast!! A very pretty blue!!!
Cons: Do you want carpal tunnel after using this for 10 minutes?
Not using a wrist rest helps somewhat, but I like using s wrist rest.
The killer is in its design, despite requiring large hands. Length and width are okay but it's a squat little mouse that doesn't fill the whole hand (which suggests someone with small hands might appreciate this more!). Worse, the hard translucent plastic that sticks out at the sides is bothersome.
If one does a lot of gaming and used their fingertips to use all the mouse actions, this mouse probably does a good job. But for any other function requiring high DPI (graphics and ad design) it's a pain. Literally.
The Logitech G5 has a fuller feel and probably better suited for multipurpose computing.

Ideal mouse if it worked
Pros: Everything I wanted in a mouse
Cons: Breaks down, bad support
However I never got to actually use it, as it was DOA. I emailed Razer's tech support, and still have no reply 4 days later. I did everything they suggested in their FAQs, newest drivers and firmware, and tried it on 4 different computers. It simply doesn't work.
So get a new one, right? As I was looking up help, I noticed a lot of people seem to be having issues with it, also. It seems the mouse often breaks down, and Razer is picky about when to replace them. Logitech and Microsoft never gave me trouble about replacing broken mice, even on lesser problems.
Conclusion: I'm sending it back and getting something else because I'm afraid it'll stop working shortly after the warranty is up, and I'll be stuck with a dead mouse that cost more than the average mouse. I'm still convinced that while it's actually working it would be about the best, or at least my favorite, but I don't feel like buying mice regularly as if they were expendable.
Not sure what to get now, I'm thinking maybe the Logitech G3 (one of the few Logitech mice around now that still have an ambidextrous design while also being good as a gaming mouse).

Died after six months No support if bought new on EBay
Pros: Great mouse when it works.
Cons: No support if bought on EBay. Expensive!
Look to Logitech for better support!!
I e-mailed the guy that sold it to me and he said that he bought it Best Buy but he didn't have the receipt. I foward this to Razer and still no RMA.
On one of Razer's forums I found that there is a lot of people who bought the Blue Cooperhead having the same issue.
BEWARE!!

Best mouse available! Period!
Pros: Uses the latest tech available for pc mouse, looks great the pulsing logo is sweet, on board memory which is a premier in the market, can be used by right and left handed people, firmware upgradeable
Cons: somewhat expensive, although it comes with seven programmable buttons two of them aren't really practible because they are on the opposite side from the mouse where your thumb is
Because of it's 2000 dpi it is very precise and fast, you need less movement to move your cursor which really makes working behind a pc a joy.
In everyday use you can create a different profile so it's not that responsive, great while surfing the web. In all you can create 5 different profiles via it's drivers.
The latest ones can be downloaded the razer website.
The only thing I liked for them is to explain in the manual what all the advance settings will do for your mouse's behavior.

Features and Led's Paradise
Pros: On Board Memory, 2000dpi, 1ms responde, beautifull blue led's
Cons: Not very comfortable, right buttons are impossible to use for right handed people.
With it's awsome feature's like 2000dpi, 1ms response, laser system, it deliver's perfect action for gaming where u can use on the fly sensitivity or the best feature and unique is the on board memory where u can store youre profiles ang take you're mouse to woteva pc without installing driver's. It makes it easier to change profiles for each application.
It is awsome in the dark, and it's surface is awsome for sweatiie hands.
Great Buy.

Cons: Laser light jiggles, hard to click on something. No help from the Razerzone.com the maker, 3-4 daily autoresponders giving a new tech id. If not purchased from them, no help will be given.

Outstanding Gaming Mouse
Pros: Seven, easily programmable buttons; Really cool blue glow; Comfortable and well-shaped; Very accurate laser and 2000 DPI; Onboard memory for frequent computer-switchers
Cons: Scroll wheel a little bit hard to reach in the middle of an action game; Two buttons on the side your thumb isn't on are rendered nearly useless
It is a very accurate mouse and, like Logitech's gaming mice, can have its sensitivity adjusted in mid-game. The software makes it very easy to program the extra buttons.
Also, the blue light is... really cool.
CNet was slightly wrong about this product in their unofficial review for it in their greatest mice and keyboards section: you can adjust the sensitivity with the two buttons on the right of the mouse, decently easy to reach with your pinky. Also, does it really matter that you have to install software to make the most use out of it? Will ten minutes of your time affect the long time use of this product?
