Razer Copperhead Tempest Introduction When I think of the word mouse, I think of two things. The furry things that live in my attic that keep me awake well into the night by scratching around for hours on end, and every pc user’s best friend, the curvy little thing that sits in the palm of your hand. Pc owners the world over have used these little guys for years. For gaming, navigating windows, websites and many other applications. However recently more and more companies are beginning to tailor make their mice for gaming. Boasting increased DPI recognition and slick bases to give those gamers that little bit extra to help them win. However, no company has quite reached the iconic status that Razer has over the last few years. Taking the gaming world by storm with their Diamondback range last year, they have caused another huge stir with their latest offering, the Razer Copperhead. A Little about Razer Razer is the world’s leading brand in high-end computer gaming peripherals. We reinvented the computer gaming industry by bringing the competitive edge to gamers when professional computer gaming was in its infancy. Undoubtedly, Razer is the worldwide leader in terms of professional gaming peripherals. While we are light years ahead of our competitors in terms of technology, design and ergonomics, we are not resting on our laurels but are developing other key products and peripherals with the gamer in mind to bring that competitive edge to gameplay that Razer is synonymous with. Razer is headquartered in San Diego, California and is distributed worldwide in all major countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

This was it, the Razer Copperhead. The GOD of all mice… As you can see from the pictures, the packaging that cages this beast is very informative, providing you with a list of mouth watering features on the front, and a slightly more in depth list on the back. The mouse is also housed in clear plastic which gives you a good view of it from the front, a feature of packaging I always like, as it gives you, as a customer, the chance to view the quality of the product before buying it. You get plenty of little gimmicks for your money with the copperhead. Most notably an official copperhead owners sleeve, so you can let everyone know what your gaming mouse of choice is. You are also given a little booklet which contains the “Master Guide” for the copperhead. It also contains a bit of speil by “Razer Guy”, thanking you for purchasing the mouse, and also congratulating you on picking the only mouse, “Made by gamers, for gamers”. So cheers Razerguy, I do try . You are also given a CD containing Razer’s profile change software. This is a very handy bit of kit as it allows for “On-The-Fly” sensitivity changing, a very helpful tool for when you are finding the settings you like the most, but more on that later. On my first view of the mouse itself, I was very impressed by its gorgeous, sleek, black exterior. And upon placing my hand in the “Ready” position on it, I was surprised to feel my hand mold perfectly with the back of the mouse. The hump nestling firmly but comfortably in my palm, while my fingers rested gently on the buttons. My thumb and little finger also found the side buttons with ease. The bottom of the mouse was a work of art in itself as well. The white, non-stick Teflon pads contrasted brilliantly with the sleek black surface and the laser in the centre is surrounded by the Razer logo. A Closer Look Next stage, plug and play people. So off I went merrily to my “Rig Desk” as I like to call it, and plugged the badboy in. Immediately problems, ah ok. Forgot to install the drivers from the CD. Silly impatient me… Ok in with the drivers and software. No problems now, nice and smooth mouse movement, and Oh boy does this mouse look good. Get your bibs ready for the drool…. The best part of this light show is the logo on the back. It pulses with blue light every few seconds. “Phwar!” is all I can say really… Ha, my old Sony mouse is a little puny looking now: The software Razer Provides with the copperhead is brilliantly simple. I soon had my rodent running at 2000dpi and 1000hz. I also used this nifty bit of kit to change two of the side buttons to G and H, very simple to do. If you are wondering why G and H, these are the keys for Grenade and unarmed mode on FEAR. Performance In order to put the Copperhead through its paces I decided to do a few hours of general web browsing and a few windows applications. For a gaming test I palyed an couple of hours of Battle for Middle Earth, and for an extreme gaming test, I played an hour or so of the FEAR multiplayer. General Use: Fantastic is the only word to describe this mouse, very smooth movement, no stick whatsoever on the mouse mat and ridiculously accurate to boot! However I did need to up the mouse sensitivity to achieve this as it just didn’t quite cut it on the windows stock settings. Battle for Middle Earth: Here again, excellent. The increased sensitivity and shape of the mouse had a short learning curve, as the mouse I had been using before was tiny by comparison, but once over this, my orks were invading my opponents castle and soon enough he was pretty KO’d. Fear Test: Good again, but this took a lot of tweaking. The increased sensitivity was ridiculous, 2000dpi had my character doing a 360 with only an inch of hand movement. This was a little bit too sensitive for my blood, so I Alt-Tabbed out of the game and using the On-The-Fly Razer software I quickly changed the sensitivity down to 1600dpi and popped back in game even before being killed! This was much better and I was soon killing people faster than ever before as to turn corners quickly required such tiny movement of my hand I was shaving valuable milliseconds off my level traversing times. Conclusion This is an absolutely fantastic mouse. Sleek, sexy looks. Blue pulsing LED’s and tiger stripes along the side to boot. The movement is smooth as a shaved crack and the mouse sits comfortably in your hand. In game the increased sensitivity did make a difference, however it wasn’t huge. Make no mistake, this mouse is not a hardware version of God Mode, but it will give you that little edge in a game where every second counts. Although this product is fantastic in every respect, it is very much an “Enthusiast/Gamer” product, and is severe overkill for anyone who doesn’t spend their evenings fragging away.

Cartlann na Catagóir 'Forimeallaigh' Razer Copperhead Tempest Nuair a smaoitighim ar an luch focal, I mo thuairimse, de dhá rud. Na rudaí Furry a mhaireann i mo áiléir a choinneáil dom awake go maith san oíche ag scríobadh thart ar feadh uair an chloig ar deireadh, agus gach úsáideoir ríomhaire an cara is fearr, an rud curvy beag go suíonn i dtearmann do úinéirí hand.Pc ar fud an domhain a bheith úsáid as na guys beag do na blianta. Do cluichíochta, navigating fuinneoga, láithreáin ghréasáin agus iarratais go leor eile. Mar sin féin le déanaí go bhfuil cuideachtaí níos mó agus níos mó ag tosú a chur in oiriúint a gcuid lucha le haghaidh cearrbhachais. Boasting aitheantas méadaithe PSO agus bunanna Slick a thabhairt dóibh gamers go beagán breise chun cabhrú leo a bhuachan. Mar sin féin, níl aon chuideachta bainte amach go maith leis an stádas íocónach go bhfuil Razer thar na blianta beaga anuas. Ag tabhairt ar an domhan cluichíochta ag stoirm lena raon Diamondback na bliana seo caite, tá siad de bharr eile stir ollmhór lena n-tairiscint is déanaí, an Copperhead Razer. Méarchlár cluichíochta Zboard Ideazon amháin a táirge; an Zboard. Tá sé méarchlár cearrbhachas dírithe ar imreoirí CCT ag lorg ar an bealach is fearr chun a n-mhéara comhéadan a ríomhaire. Zboard pioneered an dearadh méarchlár remapped, ach cé chomh maith agus a dhéanann sé a dhéanamh i ndáiríre? Saitek Eclipse soilsithe Méarchláir Bunaithe i 1979, tháinig Saitek an margadh cearrbhachais sa bhliain 1993 agus ó shin tá fás tagtha chun bheith ina bhranda mór i forimeallach cearrbhachas don ríomhaire. Gach ár dtáirgí gur ceapadh iad le gamers le haghaidh gamers, chun cabhrú leo a fháil an chuid is fearr as a gcuid cluichí ríomhaire is fearr leat. SteelSound Steelpads '5H Le linn mo bliana mar úsáideoir ríomhaire riamh go raibh mé bothered go háirithe cáilíocht na cainteoirí / headsets úsáid mé agus shuigh os comhair an scáileáin. Ní raibh mé ag bothered go raibh an beige, cainteoirí ghránna scavenged mé ó deiridh síos siopa ríomhaire a bheadh, crackle agus an chéad leid de Bass. Ní raibh sé seo le déileáil go mór dom mar bhí a fhios agam nach níos fearr; go raibh go dtí go chinn mo chara chun é féin a uasghrádú go dtí 5.1 thus timpeall fuaime, córas monstrous don am sin. Ní fhéadfainn é a chreidiúint cé mhéad níos deise a bhí ag éisteacht sé le ceol ar sé, bhí cé mhéad cluichí scarier nuair a chuala tú rudaí taobh thiar apposed tú mar le fuaim steirió tinny mo leagtha kicked amach.
