Experience the lifelike thrill of virtual reality with the Oculus Rift. The remote, OLED display and IR LED sensor help you navigate through virtual worlds, while rotational and positional tracking let you play exclusive games like Lucky's Tale. The clear, high resolution on the Oculus Rift takes you even closer to reality.

A Whole New Experience

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had been waiting for VR for ages but when it finally came out I couldn't afford the high price of the headsets. Now that the Oculus along with the touch controllers dropped in price ($399) at the time I bought it, it was finally in my price range.
You will be blown away by the immersion you've never experienced in a game before. The touch controllers make all the difference in really putting you into the game world. Games that don't use them are still fun, but having your hands in the virtual world is the game changer.
The Oculus is definitely the leader in this first generation of VR headsets now that they completed the experience with the touch controllers and "room-scale" VR. The headset is well designed, the touch controllers are technically amazing, and the price is the best of any PC-based system.
The only things that could be improved in the next generation...
- Lighter weight. The headset is light and relatively comfortable - but not light enough yet. It weighs about a pound which doesn't sound like much, until you consider it's hanging off the front of your face.. I think they still need to try to get it down to about half that. Wearing it for a while gets uncomfortable and I wish I could wear it longer without that happening.
- Higher resolution. Resolution is great for close-up objects, but when looking at things in the virtual "distance" the resolution could really use a bump.
- A bit larger field of view. The field of view is actually very good. Making it a little larger would further increase the presence in the world.
- Wireless. The only other thing still breaking the immersion is having to manage a cable in the real world while you're somewhere else virtually.

Bottom line. Best VR system available today. The VR experiences are like nothing you've ever experienced. Can't wait for where this technology moves to in the future.

Control any game with the Razer Mamba gaming mouse. The device features both wired and wireless modes and provides multiple options for its chroma lighting settings. Choose a static color, let it cycle through multiple colors or set it to change based on your clicks. For responsive functioning, this Razer Mamba provides a 16,000 dpi 5G laser sensor.

Great Mouse But Could Be Better
on September 25, 2016

The Razer Mamba is a great mouse but it could be better. Here's my pros and cons...
Pros...
- Wireless performance feels as good as a good wired gaming mouse.
- Comfort is pretty good for palm-style grip.
- The RGB LED effects look great and are fun to customize.
- The software is pretty well laid out and exposes the features of the mouse nicely.

Cons...
- LED lighting effects are occasionally a little glitchy. For example, changing to a different profile sometimes doesn't light the LEDs at the correct brightness.
- When the mouse is asleep, it takes a few seconds for it to wake up and for the computer to respond to inputs again. This has never happened on any Logitech mouse I've owned.
- Battery life isn't great when the LED lights are at full brightness. Probably wouldn't get through an average day of usage.
- Battery is not user replaceable. When the battery dies, it is time for a new mouse (unless you just want to use it in corded mode.) This is according to their support info that states that there isn't any service available for the product (outside of the warranty) because it isn't cost effective to repair.
- The right button feels different than the left button (not as "clicky".) I don't know if this is by design or not but I don't like the uneven feel. (The force can be adjusted on each button but that had no effect on correcting the problem.)
- Mouse is too big for claw or fingertip grip (unless you have massive hands.)
- Expensive.

Does the charging dock have to be contented to a USB
The charging dock is also the wireless receiver so in order to use the mouse in wireless mode, it must be connected to a USB port. The mouse can also operate in wired-mode where the USB cable is unplugged from the dock and plugged directly into the mouse instead.

Does the razor symbol light up
The symbol does not light up on the wireless model. It does light up on the wired-only model (Razer Mamba Tournament Edition)
