Being mostly a RTS, FPS, and RPG player, i started playing games like age of empire. this taught me ALOT of early ancient history, kinda the who's who in history, great background for starting about 6th grade and on. Also the complex langauge in other games have helped alot to. One of the things i’ve always told myself is alot of the things i’ve leard i’ve learned from video games.

Heaven forbid they actually take responsibility for thier own actions. Well, if we didn’t have online gaming, or any gaming for that matter, they (the media) would blame it on something esle.

I have played numerous Shooters and Games like that and i never ever once started a fight or anything like that, i've not gotten agressive or shit like that, even if this Sentence here may sound like i am. Being from Germany (remember the School Shooting here ? dunno if it was in your News as well) i have heard many Stories about censorship of Games and Movies. Censorship is forbidden by Law (or Constitution, or both) and yet every TV-Broadcasting Company here is doing it. The first Game i played that was censored was "SIN" by Ritual Entertainment... the Installation Routine checked my System to see in which Country i reside and automatically set a parental lock on everything related to bloodshed (and i mean everything). I'm 23 now, i live on my own and have a regular job... it's not my dream job but hey, i need the cash ;) On occasion i repair the PC's of my buddies when they're in trouble with something going wrong inside the Box. I don't think i would have become so computer-savvy if i had not played various Games and upgraded my Rig in the Process of playing the newest Games.

We could hold product for months in order to test every video and audio card ever made. 95% of all testing has been completed and we will continue to update drivers and firmware as necessary. That means that there is a 5% chance that your system may be in conflict with the mouse. In the past that meant returning the mouse. If you purchase the Copperhead you will be able to flash our firmware and updates will be coming on a regular basis over the first few months, or as future hardware compatibility issues are made. This is why we have positioned the Copperhead as the least obsolete mouse ever made. Razer has not made a PS/2 connection in over 2 years. USB is the only way to play games and all of our mice are optimized toward USB. Many system makers have eliminated PS/2 ports from their systems. It's history much like the serial port.

I'm not trying to bust your hump or anything, I guess I just wasn't clear on the whole process...I just see the release date getting pushed back further and further than I had thought previously, and it's...well, depressing. So is the copperhead going to be exclusively USB?
