I have a Razer Copperhead currently. Yesterday, the mouse died and no matter what I did, would not work all day. The mouse had no power and thus my computer could not recognize the "usb device." I've heard from many people that Razer stuff tends to break after a year. This does not surprise me as I constantly have to fiddle with my other keyboard which is a Razer just to get it to work on bootup on the other computer. I've also experienced how lovely Razer's config software can be, it worked fantastically for a short period of time and hasn't worked since, despite all my efforts. So now, no matter how badly I want, I am unable to change my extra key bindings. I also am unable to mess with dpi and double click speed and all that jazz. Now, keep in mind, when I first bought this mouse it was near a hundred bucks if not a hundred. I have had this mouse for a year and a half which is why I wasn't surprised when it died yesterday.
I woke up this morning and turned on my computer to see my mouse working again. But now I need advice because yesterday I bought a Logitech G500 off of Newegg. Not only could I get it for about 25 dollars cheaper than Logitech's website, but it also came with a $20.00 mail in rebate so long as I ordered it yesterday or today. So for $34.00 I was able to purchase what I've heard from many friends to be an incredibly good mouse that will last a lot longer than a year and a half. My question for you guys is whether or not I should cancel my order from Newegg and hope for the best and possibly lose $20.00 when I do go to order it again once this mouse dies.
Another thing to think about is that the rubber on the sides of my mouse has been coming off and gets nasty residue on my mousepad that has to be cleaned off frequently otherwise I can't move as quickly across it, the left click is wearing down rapidly and isn't in the best condition, the rubber pieces on the bottom of the mouse that are meant to help it glide faster are almost completely worn down and I have no replacements, and this mouse will 9/10 times have a completely random dpi on startup which gives me a hell of a time trying to get it back to what I want.
So members of NvNews Forums, please help me.
Here's the mouse in question by the way.
