I've got and love a Copperhead but it has one tendency that really annoys. It doesn't get picked up every time at boot up. It's become an issue every single start up since I changed my setup and plugged it in via a USB hub - takes a handful of reconnects before it works. I know Em has the same problem with her Razer mouse. Is it a Razer mouse issue? Anybody else have the problem?

It's a bit long in the tooth anyway so I might upgrade. I would go Razer again but for this issues.

Right...

I got a few mice (the actual plural for the computer device is mouses not mice but meh)

Logitech G9
Awsome mouse... much better thought than the G15 keyboard.
You get a weight system and some nice interchangable face plate and the anti tangle cable is a brilliant idea
Tracking is brilliant and the drivers rock!

Razer Deathadder
another brilliant mouse... love it to bits! before I got my lachesis it was my main mouse
Tracking is awsome, drivers pwn, and it has a perfect fit for my hands!

M$ Sidewinder X5
*throws up* worst mouse ever

Razer Lachesis
MOUSE IS MADE OF WIN!
its pretty much the same shape as the deathadder but it has more buttons and a lot better/smoother tracking..
its extremely expensive but totally worth it if you can afford it! its so good.. i cant see myself using anything different for a long time

Diomondback and copperhead are also awsome little devs

Got a Deathadder, love it. I want a lacheisis for the extra buttons, but can't justify buying another expensive mouse when the one I have works fine (bought my deathadder about a week before they announced the Lacheisis, Grrrrr)

No detection issues for me at all, but i am using it directly connected, rather than through a Hub.

Maybe you need to use a powered Hub or something?


Just as important as the mouse itself is having a quality mousemat. It's probably the best value upgrade to improve the gaming experience you can get for your PC.
I use a Razor Exactmat myself, and it's better than the Icemat I had before.

I wouldnt bother using a hub for the mouse... if the cord isnt long enough use an extention or something..
spitting the signal for these beasts is bad.. they use a lot of bandwidth

I'm still on a "crappy" PS/2 mouse and am still made of win on TF2 Wink

It's showing it's age though, I likely need to get a new one, but at least I got some major use out of it (over 5 years worth I think!).

MX518 ftw. Loads of buttons and in an acceptable price range (compared to other mice, some of those cost a fortune!).
Important is a that it fits good in your hand, so try before you buy if you can Wink

About your problem: Have you tried simply plugging it in directly for problem solving?

I got this.  I love it, but the only problem the buttons around the mouse wheel. One of them does the windows button + tab thing, and the other two mess with the sensitivity and they tend to get in the way in game and as we know, TF2 goesn'doesn't like ALT+TAB very much. The software the mouse comes with lets you change this, but you can't really use them for anything worthwhile in game so are a bit of a waste of space for a gaming mouse.

you should be able to use those buttons to adjust the DPI
which means you can change sensitivity in game..
not a massive deal for most people but if you go from scout to pyro its nice to switch so easily
