DA 3G sensor is infra-red and an improvement over the DB sensor.

DA since its bigger is more suited for play style that has your whole palm on top of the mouse, not really suitable for those who like fingertip control, like shuffling the mouse between your thumb and ring finger and resting your bottom palm on the mousepad.

that imo, is the most important factor you have to choose.

wht ur budget dude?

it doesnt really matter what type of sensor it uses

all that matters is it feels right in your hands

my experience with copperhead wasn't very good
it still skips when i play on 400dpi but that doesn't mean you will feel the same way.

just go try it urself
and answer it urself

First off,don't bo too bothered by your mousepad.It'll play both RTS games and FPS games equally well. Trust me,I use an exactmat (which has both control and speed sides) and enjoy shooting on both sides.

That said,what's important is what you want in your mouse.Main points of consideration,imo,include: -

CH :-
-Suited for both left and right handed users.Neon pipes give you a nice grip.
-Has 7 buttons,(5 are decently comfortable to reach,the other 2 will require some effort)
-Has onboard memory (really useful if you need to bring 5 diff settings along wherever you go)
-Has 3 different colors to choose frm (green really matches ur mat)

DA :-
-Has 3g infrared sensor (refer explanation below),which allows you to move your mouse at insane speeds
-Right handed shape with nice rubbery like top,really comfortable to hold.
-Side buttons (only 2,as opposed to CH's 4) are relatively easier to press
-Pulsating logo is cooler here

Explanation:-
About the sensor,it won't make a difference if you don't move your mouse at high speeds.The question is,do you move your mouse at speeds of 0.9m/s and above? I'm not talking about covering such a distance,I'm talking about speed (I know it's hard to quantify in real life,but u get the idea)
At such speeds,the Copperhead is known to buckle and you won't be able to track.The DA on the other hand can survive speeds of up to 4m/s (no gamer reaches this kinda speed,so ur DA will never buckle under speed)
So if you move ur mouse at high speeds (generally low sensitivity gamers) the sensor point is relavant and should be considered seriously.If not,you can take that particular point out from the consideration.

Edit :-
Or to make things easier for u,as sean392 (microsoft fanboi) has pointed out,u could try to get ur hands on both for testing,do some gaming and see which u prefer

Yeah got my krait, its super sensitive...gotta get use to it...it rox man....thx for those who did the reviews for me...

For those who want to reduce sensitivity back to good ol 400 dpi, u can always move the control panel mouse slider accordingly. I play games with sens of 2 @ 400dpi, and whenever i use a >400dpi mouse the cursor speed in games and web surfing are totally different, screwing up my aim.

Default is slider 6.

Setting 1 is 32:1
Setting 2 is 16:1
Setting 3 is 4:1
Setting 4 is 2:1
Setting 5 is 4:3
Setting 6 is 1:1
Setting 7 is 2:3
Setting 8 is 1:2
Setting 9 is 2:5
Setting 10 is 1:3
Setting 11 is 2:7
