Razer Mamba Rechargeable Wireless PC Gaming Mouse (2012)

Firstly, I was originally using the original version of the Razer Mamba; I decidedly switched over and sold my old one on eBay. This mouse feels roughly the same overall compared to it's original version. The only differences you may notice is the new sensor underneath the mouse and the DPI buttons are louder(to me at least). I am very pleased with this amazing mouse. Unlike others I have not experienced any of the issues that people are encountering. My mouse came already updated with the latest firmware that fixes the issues people have encountered(lucky for me I guess). I've also noticed, unlike the original mamba, the scroll wheel is much better built; the old mamba scroll wheel was loose or broke easy.I would highly recommend this mouse, it's very comfortable for big hands and an excellent gaming grade mouse. This mouse is not without its flaws of course, but still worth the price tag. Below is a list of pros and cons to help you choose. There are a lot of choices out there for people, mice are one thing that comes down to personal taste\choice.Additional Notes:The best mouse pad to use with the Razer Mamba is the Razer Scarab. The mamba glides swiftly across the Scarab very nicely and tracking with it has been flawless.Don't believe the terrible reviews!Positives(+)1. High DPI2. Improved build quality over original mamba mouse.3. Dual Sensors4. Comfortable for my large hand.5. Wireless\Wired6. Long lasting battery life7. Charging by setting the mouse on the dock is awesome(I never run out of power this way making charging quick and painless).8. Nice Packaging9. Dust\Animal Hair does not disrupt sensor10. Dock(+lighting on dock)11. Multicolour lighting12. Macros13. On board memoryNegatives(-)1. Scroll light isn't as bright as the original mamba, even when set on brightest in the software.2. Plastic can feel a bit cheap(would love a metal mouse)3. Oil from the hands sticks to mouse, requires wiping with soap and water(carefully)once a month.4. Bottom gets small scratches very easy, but this is no big deal.5. Only two extra buttons.6. Software is a tad slow7. Changing settings in wireless mode, while using the software is very slow and terrible(not a big deal because once you set mouse you will rarely have to set it again and you can just switch to wired mode for setting changes too.)Update 1:This is an update for my review of this mouse. I am reporting that there has been no jumpiness after several 8 hour gaming sessions of Battlefield 3 or or issues of any kind; sniping has been a breeze. I will make another final update withing a month which should give me enough time to see how it handles up to extensive use.Update 2:It's been a few weeks since purchasing this updated mouse and I can report there are still no issues, it is fully function still and working great in Battlefield 3 while using the Razer Scarab mouse pad.Update 3: So it's been a few months of use, but I have recently had some connection issues where the mouse will not track at all sometimes, I've had to run it via USB cable to get it work, but it seems to have gone away for now and works wireless again. I am changing my score from 5 stars to 4 for some of the trouble I've had with the mouse such as connection and tracking issues, mouse feels really uncomfortable when you play for awhile, the mouse will feel really oily and stick and it's annoying. I still recommend this mouse, but if you have sweaty hands be prepared to use a damp paper towel and wipe the mouse down once a week. I've been wondering if the mouses wireless connection issues have been due to interference from my phone, wireless router, or some other wireless device since they are very close together. This seems to be a hit or miss for some people though, for the most part the mouse has been working great most of the time for me, but all I can say is if your having an issues send it in for a replacement from Razer or just return it for your money back. Other gaming mice I can recommend is the R.A.T. 9 mouse or G9x too. Good Luck!

I've had this mouse for 10 years now and it's been working great. There have been some issues I've faced with it over the years, but luckily can be fixed. Very late review, but if you ever find yourself buying a used one, as long as it tests out well, not a bad purchase if the price is right. My main issue has been the battery, had to replace them twice in the 10 year span, once through warranty and 2nd time I had to purchase it. Battery life is good, although if you are gaming, I'd suggest a break after 2-3 hours of gaming to let it charge for a little bit otherwise you'll inevitably end up having to connect it. The second thing I've found is the Razer software for it does occasionally give it issues when it comes to sensitivity settings when first turning on the computer due to its boot up or update requirement. Last issue I've had with it has been double clicking problems, luckily it was a simple fix by just blowing into it since apparently it can build up static causing this issue. Hasn't happened more than 2-3 times though in that time frame, so again, it's been fine. Build wise it's great and has handled perfectly without any breaks. Only exception has been the thumb side rubber coming off, but can be easily re-glued on. LED is nice and fancy, as well as quickly responsive to changes on the application. Good luck to anyone who reads this review to buy one 10 years after its release!

Before you read this review, this is only a first impression as I've only had the mouse for a total of three days now. Later on in the future I will return and re-review this product if deemed necessary. Also I am NOT A RAZER EMPLOYEE OR SPONSOR. I AM JUST AN AVERAGE GAMER. This is my first review on a PC peripheral.I bought this mouse about a week or so ago and by gosh I was worried. Ya know why? Bad reviews. This mouse got so much hate and dislikes on this site that I was scared when I first read them. I really wanted the mouse, but didn't like the general feedback. I purchased the thing anyways out of curiosity, hoping that it would prove these bad reviews wrong. It succeeded. When the mouse arrived at my front porch I brought it inside and unboxed the cardboard box it came in. The packaging time Razer put into this product was outstanding. The only complaint I had when getting it open was the plastic casing was difficult to remove and I had to look up how to remove the mouse from the pedestal its self. Aside from those microscopic annoyances, the mouse tracks and responds flawlessly with the exception of one little issue, the wireless response time in certain situations. Don't read this incorrectly, I am NOT stating that the mouse tracking lags and buttons don't respond immediately while wireless, I am talking about the load time of the software (Razer Mamba 2012 Drivers), and how long it takes for the computer to read the mouse when you switch from wireless to wired mode or vice versa. When in the software, if you change a setting while in WIRELESS mode, it takes about 5-10 seconds to transfer to the mouse and save it. It's not a big issue, but it does get a little tedious if you change one little item and forget to do something else before hitting apply. Other than that, everything about the mouse works perfectly. It glides around on my Steelseries 4HD mouse mat like it was born to be used in conjunction with it. The accuracy is insane even at higher DPI levels, and I personally find it very easy to flick the mouse back and forth both in wired and wireless mode quickly in fast paced games such as Tribes: Ascend. I have tried many mice before this one and I have to say this is my personal favorite. A list of mice I have used will be below the dashed line in this post. Let's not forget the coolest part of this freakin' beast of a mouse. The lighting. Oh boy this thing looks sweet on the charging dock (which I feel is a little pointless to be completely honest, but it does look badass on my desk), and looks even nicer in my hand. The colors can beautifully scroll through the entire color spectrum and I tend to get distracted just looking at the matching colors of my mouse and dock. For $97, it's pretty dang sweet.While using the Razer Mamba 2012, I noticed that while playing FPS's such as COD: Black Ops II, Tribes: Ascend, Planetside 2 and Quake Live I had a sort of natural feeling as if I wasn't even using a Razer Mamba anymore, but a tool of ultimate destruction and precision. I never have had the battery die on me once during a long gaming session, and the accuracy is insane! I definitely blasted a substantially larger amount of baddies in my games than with other mice I've tried. I also play World of Warcraft a lot, and the mouse performed just as well. I found a use for all 4 buttons while playing my rogue and had a lot of fun slicing and dicing my foes with a venomous snake in PvP.When I had the Razer Deathadder 3.5G mouse, I loved the ergonomics and feel of the buttons, and all of that and more came with the Razer Mamba 2012. The additions that were included with this mouse that I feel make this mouse worth buying over the wired Deathadder mouse are the 2 side buttons which are nicely coated with a non-sweat rubber grip surface (The Deathadder had a glossy finish on the buttons, which, while I would be eating cheetos or other greasy munchies, would gunk up the two buttons with so much grease that I had to wipe them down constantly with a paper towel.), the rubber grips on the bottom of both sides of the mouse, the wireless functionality which works masterfully, and the beautiful multi-color lighting option. (Also the 2 extra DPI switcher buttons on top of the left clicker are nice as well, which I loved from the Razer Naga). Keep in mind, these are MY personal preferences over the Deathadder. Some people prefer the solidly illuminated scroll wheel of the Deathadder rather than the 2 bars that encompass the sides of the wheel. I am merely comparing this to the Deathadder 3.5G because they do look quite similar from the outside, but when you put your hand on the two and use them both, they are completely different.To conclude this review I will give it a rating out of ten, and I will compare it to other mice that I've tried in the past.RATING: Perfect 10/10.I gave this mouse a 10/10 because of it's spectacular performance and ergonomics. The lighting is pretty and it comes neatly packaged in a beautiful display case.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mice I've tried in the past (In non-sequential order):1.

Después de mas de 5 años con un Orochi, decidí hacer "upgrade" a su hermano mayor, el Mamba.Por el momento lo siento un poco grande y pesado, pero es mas costumbre después de tanto tiempo usando mouses mas pequeños.Al igual que el anterior la instalación y configuración son rápidas, el software podría ser un poco mas ligero y ágil, pero de cualquier manera no es como que tengas que entrar tan seguido a cambiarlo.Muy recomendable para alguien en búsqueda de un buen mouse tanto alambrico como inalambrico.

Elegí 5 estrellas por que es el mejor mouse para juegos su comodidad botones sensibilidad al jugar lo hacen la mejor elección para juegos y otras aplicaciones 3D y adema se puede usas con cable o sin cable.Lo recomiendo a todo aquel que quiere tener un mouse de gama alta gamer es el mejor.

Excelente producto llego antes de tiempo señalado en buenas condiciones y se siente una gran diferencia comparando a un mouse tradicional, personalizable desde la iluminación los perfiles y los DPI además de ser muy cómodo muy recomendable
