I was looking for a gaming mouse a while back, and went with the razor copper head. I love it. It takes a little while to get used to the shape, but once you do it's no problem. The 2000 dpi is great, people come over and when they touch my mouse their like, "whoa man" I definately reccomend the copperhead. Also i use a similar mouse pad to the guy above me, and i hate it. My desk isn't a traditional computer desk, and it's about 6-8 inches higher than i would like it. Because of that the gel on the wrist pad actually hurts after a while.
