I just recently bought a Razer Copperhead from best buy's online store for 59.99$. Im having troubles with the mouse not recognizing the drivers. This only seems to occur when I move the mouse physically when its at the POST screen or Windows. It also seems to go crazy at the POST screen when I move the mouse with my hand. It will go into BIOS sometimes. Sometimes it will ask what drive to boot off for Windows. If its buggy like this for 60 god damn dollars, Im taking it back. For a 60$ mouse i expect the top of the line not this god damn crap.

Have you tried updating your machine's BIOS? It's not a comfortable thing to do, but it can certainly take care of USB issues. I have a Diamondback, and I've noticed that sometimes my PC doesn't supply all 125mV to the USB hub if the PSU is physically too cold. What I'm getting at here is that you should also make sure that this particular mouse isn't sharing power with any other USB devices; give it it's own hub if you can, that could clear things up. Also, I think there's a firmware update utility available from Razor that could help.
Finally, what happens if you plug it in after you get into Windows? Normal? If it's all good, I doubt it's the mouse itself. Go back and update your shit.

Hmm . . . This is the first time I'm hearing it's causing BIOS problems . . . you sure it's the mouse?
The worst issue that people have had is the mouse won't work on cold boots or the mouse won't be recognized as a freescale device - which has now been fixed. Other than that, the other issues are minor.
How exactly did you go about installing the mouse and drivers? Be as specific as possible.

Did you even try to see if it wasn't something else?

I went up from an averave CS:S kill:death ratio of 1.3-1.5:1 to 1.8-2.2:1. It's not about the hardware making you better, it's rather your skill limited by the hardware. Using a heavy-as-shit ball mouse on a dinky mouse pad with the sensitivity cranked up to cram the movements into an otherwise useless amount of space hampered me. I really like this thing*. Again, it's not the Copperhead. It's the Diamondback. But until they change their one flaw, I'm not going to upgrade.
*I really don't use any but one of the side buttons. I only use the one my thumb rests on, the rest are just too far out of reach and I have to shift my hand on the damn thing to make use of them. Then I can't hit if my life depended on it. Which is usually the case in a shooter.
I do hope you find a mouse that suits you.
