Welcome everyone.
Today we’re doing an unboxing and review of the Razer Mamba Wireless Gaming Mouse.
It seems almost customary now that Razer places a good deal of attention to detail in their
marketing and with the release of the Mamba they’ve certainly presented it well as we
see in this very elegant packaging.
One of the unique features of the Mamba is that it is a high performance wireless mouse.
It boast a 1 millisecond response rate (1000 Hz Ultrapolling), which is impressive considering
that my monitor with UltraResponse has a 2 millisecond delay.
The Mamba sports a 4G dual sensor system with up to 6400dpi.
It can not only match the speed of your swipes, but also allows configuration or cutoff distance
to manage liftoff tracking.
The Mamba’s battery has 15% more life and provides some additional weight to the mouse,
which for me adds a little more sense of control and the new multicolor LED has over 16 million
colors allowing you LED Light fans a wide pallet of color options.
I’ll leave a link in the About Section below if you’d like to read all the details of
the specifications.
Although the Mamba has a very impressive 1 millisecond delay I’m still going to be
running the mouse wired.
It may be purely psychological, but I just like having that one to one ratio.
I’ve not included any footage of the Wireless Base since I’ve opted to go with the wire
configuration, however you can see the based in the link provided below.
As I’ve done in other Mouse Reviews I like to present you guys with physical comparisons
to some other popular gaming mice.
Here we see the Mamba in the center.
Starting from the left we have the LogiTech G500, Logitech G700, the Mamba, the Razer
Taipan and the SteelSeries Sensei.
One of the critical and comfortable elements to me when it comes to mice is their height.
I’d love to see a design with the height of the Naga or Logitech G600, however the
Mamba seems to draw a very nice balance of height.
Here is the Mamba next to the wireless G700 and we can get somewhat of the detail as to
the height in comparison to the taller Logitech series of gaming mice.
The G500 I believe is the taller of the Logitech Mice and having a medium size hand this mouse
fits in my palm the best of most mice I’ve had.
Here’s the Mamba next to its brother the Taipan, which has been an excellent FPS gaming
mouse.
And finally the Mamba next to the SteelSeries Sensei. The Sensei served me well and it’s
a great mouse if you’re a palm grip user.
The design of the Mamba really does seem to accommodate claw, palm claw and claw grip
users.
It has a very subtle granulated mat finish on the top and a very well placed scroll wheel
which provides a great ergonomic feel.
The mouse has pretty standard buttons, quite a departure from the ambidextrous Taipan and
the newly released Ouroboros.
The Left side has your standard Forward and Backwards button and towards the front of
the mouse along the left hand side you can see the battery indicator lights.
To the front and left side of the mouse you have your DPI control buttons, however on
mine I’ve set one of them to my Push To Talk In Mumble.
Now let’s discuss some of the Pro’s and Con’s of the mouse.
The cons really concern this particular mouse featured in this video, although yours may
not have this issue out of box, but this particular mouse when you’d push the left click button
close to or very near the scroll wheel it would squeak.
The replacement mouse hasn’t had this problem, however I’ve seen reviews where people were
addressing squeaking in relationship to the scroll wheel while in use.
A problem I’ve not personally experienced.
Also, this mouse may not be suitable for left-handed user as it has a standard or traditional mouse
design.
The Pro’s of this mouse is its very comfortable and incredibly ergonomic for a gaming mouse,
although its precession and preciseness is excellent for image and video editing too.
The buttons are incredibly responsive, in particular the left and right click buttons.
The Forward, Back and DPI setting buttons have a very cushioned sensation it really
gives the mouse a very natural sense of button control allowing for a greater sense of comfort
interaction.
I wanted to touch on the setup and software of this particular mouse because it doesn’t
utilized the cloud setting capabilities for standard Razer drivers.
You’ll want to navigate directly to the Razer Mamba specific drivers to insure that
you’ll have use the Mamba Software itself.
After you’ve installed the software you’ll easily be able to navigate through the menus
allowing you to adjust your settings and color selection of your choosing.
