Customer Reviews for Razer Mamba 2012 Elite Ergonomic Wireless Gaming Mouse - Black
Review 1 for Razer Mamba 2012 Elite Ergonomic Wireless Gaming Mouse - Black
One of the best mice but not quite wireless
Customer Rating
4.0
What's great about it: Almost everything about the Mouse
What's not so great: The accesseries
I have owned the Razer Mamba mouse for like 2-3 years now with no problems. The 2012 version changes colors which was my only complaint at time of purchase. I have dropped this product many times and is still works flawless wireless mode so I can say it is extremely durable. Now in corded mode It is starting to get a little buggie but I am sure hat it is something wrong with the cord. The fact that the cord is so so so so long is probably why it got messed up and and is an eye sore... and to use it wirelessly I have to still use that cord and keep the receiver on the desk. The mouse it-slef is almost perfect but I am currently in the market for something more wireless.
I have a Razer Destructor Mouse pad when I was using this mouse so let me say that the Mamba Glides on this bad boy like you wouldn't believe, so smooth and quiet. People who use my mouse on this pad say now they understand the $130 price tag on the mouse. I Highly recommend the mouse pad too.
Buttons are positioned ideally and are effortless to click except for the two located in the left click. I wish Razer would of made them raised so that you could click them without clicking the left click on accident. This is the only design flaw with the mouse that was fixable by added two small raised stickers to the top of them.
The Accessories:
The cord is way too Long and is always in the way and has become quite an annoyance. I use the mouse with a gaming laptop so less cord would be ideal. Wish Razer sold short cords for the mamba since you can't use traditional USB cables. Hope you are listening Razer.
The receiver is so bulky... I know it also serves to charge the mouse but you could use the cord to do that and have a smaller reciever like Logitech's G700 or better yet Bluetooth and remove the use of USB ports all together... hint hint Razor :)

Conclusion:
A great mouse especially for desktop application but not quite wireless. Last very long time with heavy use and extremely durable. You would not regret this purchase.

PS: If you would like less wires you might want to consider the Logitech's G700. It also has raised left click buttons which was the flaw of the Mamba. This will probably be my next mouse or the Logitech's MX550 for the Bluetooth if Razer doesn't come out with a Bluetooth raised button Mamba in the next month or so.

What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: Battery life is terrible
This mouse is way over priced for what it's actually worth. After testing it many times we found it does skip like any other mouse would and the battery life is extremely poor it's good for 3 hours off the charger and then you have to plug it in to the cord defeats the purpose of buying a wireless mouse. I hated it so much I knew it end up in the garbage so instead I gave it away and bought myself a wireless slider mouse from Sony and for $60 and it works much much better. I say don't buy Razer
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Everything is great about this mouse!
What's not so great: No draw backs.
Ive been using this mouse for about two months now. To date, I haven't had any problems with it. The responsiveness is fantastic, the wireless is virtually no different than the wired mode, and the aesthetics are amazing. It's got top notch multi-color lighting( which is to say any and every color possible). The rubberized finish is comfortable and smooth, and easily cleans up, even grease from your fingers cleans off. The battery, I have found will(fully charged) last about 12-14 hours of continuous gameplay. Almost every game I have found supports the extra mouse buttons. It feels very sturdy and very high quality. I really have no regrets buying this, I think it's worth the money for sure. I would just reccomend buying a high grade mouse pad to use with this mouse( its 4G laser will track on most anything though). I purchased the Razer Sphex Gaming Surface. It's only 15 dollars and I noticed a significant increase in the functionality of the mouse(up from using the armrest on my chair). All in all I would recommend this mouse to anyone who is looking for a Great Mouse. Definatly worth the money!

What's not so great: price
I got my first one in the maile 2 days ago, I LOVE IT! By far it's the best mouse I've ever owned. Very accruate, very fast, very versitile, very comfortable in my big hands, great software comes with it to tune it anyway you like. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but.. it is the best out there in my book.... yeh my first one.. i stopped by to write this review before i purchased another one.

What's great about it: EVERYTHING
What's not so great: Havnt found anything yet , could be a wee bit bigger
This is one of the most AWESOME mice I have ever owned. I also own the Naga Epic which I also love, but, The Mamba is the Ultimate. I read a whole lot of reviews about how others were having chargeing problems ,skipping problems and the curser wobbleing on the screen and also massive jumping but I bought the mouse anyways ( I am a mouse junkkie and own roughly 30 mice ) I let it charge for a couple hours, installed the latest drivers and in over a month NOT ONE PROBLEM AT ALL, It charges with or without the cord and even with the stock mouse feet moves like it is on ice. I alsos bought the Razer " Goliathus Speed mouse pad to go along with it and WOW this mouse pad is 11 1.2 wide and 36 " long YES 36 INCHES you can actually make 2 or 3 pads from this one and is as awesome as the mouse !!! GET THEM BOTH YOU WONT BE SORRY !!!! OH I also have rather large hands and the Mamba is comfortable allthough it could be a little bigger Thanks Razer and Best Buy

What's great about it: Faster and lithium battery
What's not so great: Pricey!!
I had the 1.gen of the Razer Mamba Wireless Gaming Mouse, and loved it! No problems at all, performance great, of course the battery would need to get recharge soon because I would use it a lot but no bigger!!
NOW the new edition from Razor, BADASS!!! I SUPER LOVE IT! Faster and the fast you can change the LED lights and lithium battery.
Wish the price could be bit lower but overall, NICE!!!
