Hi, so my Razer Copperhead is really messed up now and I definitely need a new mouse. I've been using this thing since.......I don't know 2006 maybe, and heavily too.
I feel like I hate everything just by looking at them and reading about them. The worst part is that I've gotten VERY used to the way I use my Copperhead mouse, and I don't see anything I like to replace it. You see, I use my pinky finger to press a button that I have macro'd to CTRL+W to close tabs and windows right away. I have gotten extremely used to this simple little macro over the years, losing it would really bum me out. I hate using other peoples computers because I don't get to have that macro on my pinky.
Now what? I don't know what to get. I guess I could use anything that has an extra button I can macro, but....my pinky! I'm so used to it! The placement of the side buttons on the Copperhead, and the rubber grips.......I don't know if I should say they are just perfect, or if I just feel that way because I got so used to it. I have completely adapted myself to this freaking thing.
I might be looking to stick to an ambidextrous claw-like grip, but I might be open to something different. I don't really know. At this point I think I'm most interested in having a mouse with a button I can macro and easily use for CTRL+W. I know how stupid and picky that sounds, but I'm telling you I am really used to using that.
Can someone suggest a mouse? I'm looking for a programmable button; preferably one I can hit with my pinky. I'm also looking for a sturdy clicky scroll wheel that never misses or messes, none of that that smooth/free-scrolling and/or mushy feeling stuff. I play a lot of everything, but mostly FPS games. I don't know much about tracking, considering I've used very few mice in my time. If it's as good or better than my Copperhead though, I'm sure I'd be good with it. Oh and I definitely want something wired.
Regardless of all that, I am interested to hear what mice long-time Copperhead users wound up using.
I would really appreciate some suggestions. I feel like my head is going to explode after looking at and reading about so many mice. I thought I was dead set on getting a Zowie FK1, but then I heard you can't use all 4 side buttons. Now I'm back to being pissed off and looking at mice again.
PS. My main mice over so many years have been an Intellimouse, MX510, and the Copperhead. I've barely used anything else.
