Razer Mamba Wireless (and wired) mouse


Recommended Posts

How active are they are they with updating the firmware? I'm reading alot of people having issues with this mouse. Really need a replacement mouse (mine keeps double clicking) so not sure if I should just hold out, or take the risk. Mouse sure isn't cheap lol

You aren't seriously considering a ?120 mouse are you?

You need a slap seriously.

It's the best "mouse" you can get on the market at the moment. Tracking performance is sublime, comfort is amazing.

Ultimately the only letdown is the things I've mentioned (software bugs, lack of extended featurues that are standard on mice that cost a fraction of the Mamba).

Just get a 2nd hand Copperhead or something... jeez ?120 is not worth it.

Unless you want wireless, then just get some Logitech mouse that does the job.

its all about the feel of the product and how well it snuggles into ones hand, got mine this morning and first thing i did after unboxing and plugging it in was update the firmware. Did anyone get an installation CD with thiers, i dont think i got one so i had to get the drivers from thier website.

Anyways im liking it, had the copperhead before and its a huge improvement to that, im loving the nice new snuggly feel it has.

The fact you can make it into a wired mouse and it charges whilst in that mode was the cherry on top for me. Is it worth the ?130 i paid, hell no i dont think any mouse is. Im not happy about paying that much but i did so the past is the past. Doesnt mean i dont like my new purchase, i probably would have been more happier if it was below the ?99 mark, maybe even between the 70-80 quid mark.

Did i forget to mention the feel of it is great!

It is pretty good for games i think playing WoW and it feels great, much better than the copperhead, also had a bash on Crysis earlier and that was pretty sick too.

Overall though not worth ?130, but certainly an awesome mou:D :D

If you want a good quality mouse with a lot of buttons then I would recommend the G9, it is also about a third of the price of this. ;)

mrk, have you actually compared the tracking of the mamba to the G9? (I say G9 as I guess it is the mamba's main competition)

This looks a nice mouse, but bare in mind razer ALWAYS! ALWAYS! Release there mouses with bugs and they always leave it to the public to report the bugs, happend with my razer lachesis, bugs in it for a while with jumping mouse etc but now, its all fine and works perfect with all the updates :)

I am using now the new Logitech keyboard with the illuminated keys and Razer Mamba.

I am on Windows 7 and so far I have high praise for the Mamba. I have no installed their software though. Everything works straight out of the box and the sensitivity settings work great. The precision is astonishing! This is easily the most precise mouse I've ever used.

The ergonomics of the mice are spot on. I love that this mouse feels similar to the old Microsoft IntelliMouse in shape but has the right weight and superb finish. It just feels so smooth in the hand. $129 mouse was a bit much I agree, but I decided to get it because it's amazing in Photoshop and it has something that no other mouse has. The dual functionality. If the battery goes off you just unplug the usb cable and it becomes a wired mouse. This is HUGE for me because none of the mice these days does that. When the battery croaks I'm stuck with using an alternate mouse which sucks. This is what makes it worth for me and even though I was hesitant I really think it's worth every penny. At least so far, considering that I paid $90-$100 for previous Microsoft/Logitech top of the line mice this one is worth $30 premium I can tell you that.

Since original poster photos don't work I 'll update:

Btw the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard is FANTASTIC!

This keyboard is super light and thin, very clean design, the illuminated and laser etched keys are a huge plus and look great and the tactile feel is the best one I had from any keyboard I've had in the past decade :)

If you haven't checked it out I strongly encourage you to look at it as it is TOPS product. Sure, $79 for a wired keyboard might be a bit much but the quality is there in every single aspect.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
