@BBCmicro:

I really dunno what u were doing with those mouses to get them broken so easily.My mx510 buttons were slammed,and the mouse itself has fallen at least 10 times in first month cause i had some wire position problems cause of desk and i would always accidently pull the wire down which slammed the mouse with fast speed on the floor,from 1 meter height...the point is,it still works like a charm to this day.So,braking 3 mouses in such short period? Sometimes the problem lies in the user :]

I doubt it is me - the way I use them. I only press the buttons. Definitely do not mistreat them as cruelly as you treat yours! You should be pulled before the Mouse Abuse Board and have your goolies knackered! Winking As I said, I have had cheaper mice whose buttons last...

I took the G5 apart and it is very flimsy inside. The contact switches are tiny plastic things with a little metal inside. They do not look durable. The left button switch does not have the 'click' of the right one - so it seems worn.

I soldered one of the good switches from my first MX510 onto the second one and am now using that. Feels okay but have a few issues I need to sort out. I'll likely go for the Habu or Deathadder.

On topic... I vote for neither, this mouse is really good, it has buttons so i can click them and a wheel, so it rocks, and it fits me as well, so i loves it, fuck the "cybertronic, 4-wheel, 52-button, changing colour by reading your mood by sensoring your hand temperature, supersensitive gaming mice that have AI, and can order pizza as soon as you get the munchies"

I got a Microsoft Habu (A Razer Copperhead by another name with a few changes) mouse. I could not get a DeathAdder at a sensible price soon enough. I've used the Habu for a few days now and do not like it. The buttons/switches are not quite fast enough. The width at the front end is too wide for my liking and I find my ring finger stops the switch from depressing (it seems to work on release not pressing). I would have to change the way I change weapons and I do not fancy doing that. I have a replacement G5 coming in a few days courtesy of Logitech support. I''ll treat the Habu as a spare.

The G5 switches are faster but less positive than the Habu whose switches have a nice solid click. Maybe this is why the G5 switches do not last me too long - either speed or durability.

The Habu is a nice mouse. It seems well made with its changeable side switches and spare Teflon feet. It is fast and I could not make it skip. The Configurator gives lots of control over how the mouse works and in some ways more than Logitech's Setpoint.

DeathAdder ordered, along with a whole bunch of other stuff though so in case something's not in stock it may take a while to get Sad

Not having tried a Copperhead (weird meaning in UK...) I cannot say. I can say that some Habu users are using the Copperhead drivers and firmware with the Habu which is made by Razer - so the innards must be very much alike. Likely this it is the 'cosmetics' (eg dpi buttons on Habu) which are slightly different. I note too that the laser is set farther back on the Habu - smaller arc of movement for the wrist.

I got my G5 replacement today and so will us e that shortly. I want to give the Habu a chance. But I am having a problem getting it to behave properly. I can't get it to feel right; it is either too loose or too tight. Maybe the Copperhead is better. Certainly the skipping reports are better for Habu than Copperhead - esreality.com
