Razer Mamba Wireless Gaming Mouse: 16,000 DPI Optical Sensor - Chroma RGB Lighting - 7 Programmable Buttons - Mechanical Switches - Up to 50 Hr Battery Life

The best mouse I’ve used

I've used a lot of mice in my day, whether it be for gaming, work, or just general computer usage, this mouse is my go-to. The design makes it fit really nicely, and it's on the smaller side for mice, making it light and very consistent. It's pretty durable, as I've been using mine for a couple years now without issue, other than the pads on the sides beginning to peel off.

This was previously Razers top tier mouse. Featuring top of the line everything from sensor to lighting, to being wireless, to having its own stand. The Mamba is what started the trends and was the pinnacle that other mice tried to replicate.However, with this, the second generation, Razer made a dire mistake. They released the Mamba Tournament Edition, trying to cater to hard core gamers, but unfortunately, they chose a laser instead of an optical sensor and it had some performance issues compared to Razers other mice which all used optical sensors and because of this, the mouse got a bad reputation.Razer later released a newer version, updated with THE BEST optical sensor made at the time (still great even today), better than all others, with Omron switches (best at the time and still great today) and it solved all the problems, but by then, the name “Mamba” was synonymous with shitty lasers, and so no one went after it, and there were barely any reviews.But as someone who had a Deathadder that finally bit the dust and wanted an upgrade, after testing out every mouse there was, my choice came down to either the Razer Viper or this Mamba, and the Mamba just felt perfect for my large hands. Thumb buttons were perfect, shape was perfect, and even the side grips were placed so much better than my Death Adder.Additionally, it’s one of the very few Razer mice that offers mouse wheel tilt, which gives it 2 additional buttons to hotkey, which was a game changer in terms of competitive gaming.I still use and adore it to this day and I’ve tried a lot of the latest models and I still like this mouse. If you have large hands, are right handed, and want a somewhat basic mouse with the best sensor (I think it might still be Razers best) and two more programmable buttons than a generic basic mouse, then give it a try. It’s under 100g which, although not as light as a Glorious Model O, it’s still lighter than most none-perforated mice (mice with holes all over it to save material weight).This is still the best mouse in Razers lineup, in my opinion. At the very least, the most underrated.

This mouse surprised me. I read so many bad reviews about the mouse itself or the software and I am so shocked that people feel the way they do. Sure the software isn't the best it could be but it works well and gets the job done. But I'll say I do not mess with it too much once I have things set how I like.I have been through so many mice over the last year.Coolermaster CM710 (incredible mouse but too small for my hands)Zowie EC2 (very slick and slips in my hands but is a good size. Cable is unbelievably thick and stiff though)Logitech G403 (as a mouse it's a great design but logitech's software is miserable and doesn't recognize the mouse half the time and between two of these G403's the left click went out within 2mo of playing FPS games where it became incredibly inconsistent in registering the click)Glorious Model D (great mouse overall but the cord got annoying. The Coolermaster cable is similar to this one but doesn't flail around and land on your hand like this one's does and even their own mouse bungee didn't secure the cord as it would slip out of the connector - but great quality mouse)Going through these mice is what led me to finally going with the Razer Mamba. I was ready to get away from dealing with cables now that the wireless tech seems to finally be here and I didn't want to spend a lot of money as I have spent hundreds on them over the last year and I wasn't sure I'd like Razer so I wanted to keep the investment minimal. Well, despite buying this at a pretty low price (I believe around $50) it has become a top 3 favorite mouse for me. I know it's not some super fancy mouse with tons of features but all I really cared about was reliable wireless, forward/back buttons, a nice fit for my hand, not too heavy.So far after about 2 months this has been THE mouse for me. I don't know a lot about other Razer products but I will say that I will look to their mice before any other brand unless I experience something worth skipping them and so far I'm not seeing that happening. I will update if it does since i've only had it about 50 days but so far so great!
