a few Razer Copperhead questions

[euclid]

i currently use mx510 with teflon tape feet on a steelpad 4d. i love the motion of this combination, its very smooth. however the logitech is the cord is too thick and no matter what i do to secure it it has an influence on direction. ive been reading the Razer mice use a thinner and more flexable cord.

secondly, i am starting to think a smaller mouse would suit my style better. as i am uncomfortable with palming the whole mouse and using my arm to move it, i more or less use my fingers for fast transitions. the problem with this technique and the logitech mx design is the peripheral buttons basically become unusable, i can only access the Back button with my thumb, the others are awkwardly out of reach. the design of the coppehead looks much better for me.

i have a few questions before i order the copperhead, i cnat seem to find answers for.

1. (answered)

2. do i have to use this mouse USB? understand it affects cpu performance and would rather keep it on the ps2 port. my mx510 is USB but i use a ps2-usb adapter, ive never heard of this with the Razer b/c it boasts 1000hhz with usb.

4. has anyone opened the mouse and disabled the LEDS?

thanks for any help!
