Well, I must have lucked out. I got my Razer Diamondback and Exact mat before they were even publicly released, at the World cyber games in San Francisco back in 2003(?) And I still use those two products to this day. Nothing has failed. Sure, after 4 years my feat are worn a TINY bit, but other than that, it's fine! Nothing wrong. I spend all my time on the computer, I owned a cybercafe for 3 years and was there about 10-12 hours a day, 7 days a week. Now I'm a web master, but also own a community gaming site, so I still spend all my time on a computer, and playing games. This mouse has surely not disappointed me. It works, and looks exactly the same as it did 4 years ago. So, I either lucked out, or the people complaining about thin(?? thin? this is a pretty normally thick wire if you ask me) are spending their free time spinning it around in the air. Everyone always swears by the G4's (or g5s??? who cares) But they are ugly! Bulky, and feel like you are moving a hollow piece of plastic around the table. Personally, I steer my mouse with just my fingers, my palm doesn't even touch the mouse. That would be impossible on a G5 because of its bulkiness. But OMGWTFBBQ!!! It has weights you can remove!!! That is the biggest gimmick I have ever seen. Razer, and RazerGuy, Continue making the awesome products you do, so I can have a replacement to buy once my Diamond back dies, if it ever dies.

Razer products are far supperior to anything else that I have owned. I am really looking forward to using my Lachesis. I play a lot of FPS like TF2, Counter Strike, Quake 4, Doom 3 and MMORPG. I hope Razer keeps up the outstanding work they do and hopefully get us a fix for the microphone on the Barracuda. Sell us a replacement mic like the one that is on your new headset that is coming out. The one that we have is to weak. It barely picks up any sound at all. I am not using the Barracuda sound card I am using the Sound Blaster X-Fi Platnum. All of you that complain about Razer products be it the ergonomics or the price or the lack of buttons or to many buttons can move on and buy something else. I am proud to use and own Razer products. Keep it up Razer Guy. You have a loyal customer here. I have the Razer Tarantula, Barracuda Headphones, Diamondback and Copperhead and I have pre-orderd the Lachesis.

My boyfriend just bought a Krait, and he loves it. I don't get what's the problem with grip. I've used tiny laptop mice to the copperhead and I have small hands, but I don't get why everyone is bothered about gripping the sides. Do you hold your mouse that tightly? Because I don't have that problem at all - It's mostly my index and forefinger and my palm that move the mouse. My thumb and last two fingers merely hold it lightly. It's light and it's easy to use. People, stop using the same grip for jacking off that you do for gaming, and then maybe you'll feel better. And as for form, I've never seen a hotter mouse than my Copperhead.

The way I see the industry, our community or the competition and not the way Razer see them as a company. My goal is not to try to rally the community around me or crerate a cult. Cults are created by fans who have their own experiences and opinions. There is no Koolade being served at this table. Please understand that a number of gamers that we used to research for our next keyboard (Lycosa) asked for lighting. It's not bling when it is used for ambient light along with their monitor and perhaps mouse while gaming. It is the way the majority of our customers want to play their games - it is not unfunctional at all. The Krait was developed for those players who do not require side buttons or wanted a smaller mouse. It was not a budget Diamondback. The price is less because there are fewer features and less costly to produce. MMO players (in general) do not find their games to be terribly mouse intensive which is why the Krait is recommended. Thank you for suggesting that I have reached a "preaching" level; perhaps I can use this personally as a recommendation for increased salary benefits.

Seriously Razerguy. Quit preaching about how you guys are TEH INDIE PURE FUNCTIONALITY AWESOME CUSTOMER RELATIONS when you put out ridiculously marketed crap (Krait for example? it's not 'purpose built for MMO', it's a budget Diamondback without buttons) and team up with Microsoft to make sup par crap. Very few of your products are bad.. But frankly, the whole fake image you try to conjure through the 'cult of razer' is laughable. Razer either take themselves too seriously.. or not seriously enough. And yet, your new keyboard is bling-bling backlit with silly touch-buttons for audio controls.
