Razer Mamba Wireless Gaming Laser Mouse 5600 DPI Review

So I went from a Logitech Trackman Marble Mouse to this beast and I am very happy with what I recieved, as I should be for the rather crazy price.

When you get it of course you’re very excited, but to boost the excitement even more the case looks like you just bought a rare ruby worth[...]. You’ll see the mouse mounted in this plastic “presentation” box. All the manuals are tucked away conveniently inside. So, as far as packaging goes, amazing. Touches like that are what make you feel like you got your money’s worth.

So you start to unpackage it and it’s…..easy. You get a stellar USB cord (gold-plated USB, as advertised, as well as a special cord designed to withstand some kind of torrential storm possibly), a charging dock, and obviously the mouse. Let’s cover the mouse first:

The design is beautiful. It’s got a kick butt design, it’s comfortable, and it’s got enough buttons. Not too many, if you count your sensitivity adjustment buttons you get 4 programmable buttons…I have yet to program any of them because I simply haven’t had the need. I do, however, switch sensitivites on the fly rather often, as it’s helpful in games when you go from a sniper (low DPI for super accuracy) to an assault dude (high DPI for quick, accurate movements). All the buttons have a very nice click about them and DON’T feel as if they are going to fail in the next many years. The glowing scroll wheel in the middle is beautiful! I love it, adds another touch. The battery lasts a loooong time on a full charge (days). I tend to place it on charge whenever I’m not using it, so I have yet for it to run out of juice. So the mouse is brilliant…

On to the dock. It’s cool, it’s small, and it’s flashy. Not really a whole lot to say about it. The USB cable provided can either plug into the base or the mouse. Here’s a downside, however, IF for some random reason you plug the cord into the mouse it adds A LOT of resistence to the mouse, being designed as it is. With this type of mouse, resistence isn’t a good thing. The dock also acts as the wireless receiver, so if you’re wondering how the mouse communicates wirelessly with your PC, it’s the dock.

My only complaint would have to be the software it comes with. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good, powerful software, but it…..is……sllllooooowwww!! Better make sure you make all your changes before clicking “ok” or “apply”, because after that sit back and relax…. I believe this is because the dock is sending a file to the mouse (the mouse does have onboard memory, after all) that includes all of the changes and apparently that takes a while.

Overall, definitely a 5 star product. It’s elegant and works like no other mouse.

Expensive, but worth it – SuperSchtroumpf – Lyon, France
If you are big into gaming, then why not get one of the best mice out there? It’s only the price of one or two games… and you will get your use out of it. It’s certainly much more responsive and accurate than my previous wireless logitech mouse. Just a few small notes (cons):
- so-so battery life
- it’s a little hard to get the cable in and out of the two ports (mouse port / docking port)
- sometimes it loses the connection when im switching from wired to wireless mode.

Otherwise, this mouse is great. Beautiful colors, great rubberized feel, nice blue lighting on the docking station and the mouse itself, not too many buttons, and one can go from wired to wireless just by plugging/unplugging the cable from the docking station/mouse. No more fiddling with rechargeable AA batteries, and if the battery goes out just plug the mouse in directly.

Well worth the price.

Not as smooth as the G7 – HeavenlyBluE –
Razer Mamba is not bad. It doesn’t feel as good as the logitech G7, but since they don’t make that anymore, this is a reasonable choice, as I require a wireless gaming quality mouse.

Not Wireless on a Laptop – Mary E. Akins –
The Mouse is not wired to the Laptop.The docking port/Tuner has to be wired to the Laptop for the Mouse to operate.So how can this be considerd wireless because A Wire is still connected to my Laptop and a wire is a wire no matter what is hooked to it.
