Razer - Mamba (2009)

Razer is known for its very bad (to at best average) durability. I had ... one (old) Mamba with double clicks, one DA v1 with failing clicks and a crack in the side panel, and a DA v2 also with a crack in the sidepanel and a crack in the left mousebutton (similar to this: [https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/18ju3n5/deathadder\_v2\_button\_cracks\_off/](https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/18ju3n5/deathadder_v2_button_cracks_off/) but mine didn't completely break off). Only one Razer Viper Mini survived, because I rarely use it (and only for desktop use).

I'm a Spatha man and I've had the original since it launched. It's a unit, but then I have large hands so it definitely isn't for everyone. But after using a Razer Mamba before the switch to ROG I'd take the Spatha any day.

I usually look for mice that don't have too many side buttons. I never click them, and I never accidentally click them, but I only find the DPI buttons necessary sometimes, and that's fine. My Naga was better suited for MMOs, but I ended up stopping using it due to my busy day-to-day workload. So I started using the Mamba more. Its size is perfect for anything, and I find it very comfortable. I've used the Basilisk a few times with the Deathadder v2. The only drawback with the V2 was the DPI buttons on the right-click and the fact that both are battery-operated.

Razer worst hardware company to ever exist. I had 6 Razer pieces until i finally said its enough. Everyone of them was just bad quality. 1x Razer Black Mamba - randomly disconnected with cable since I bought it 2x Razer Ornata - both crap quality and broke after just one year of usage 1x Razer Black Widow 2? - still using it but has Problems since I bought it. Audio randomly changes even though im not even at the table 1x Razer Kraken - overall bad audio and microphone quality, broke after like 2 years 1x razer Kraken v2? - literally had it 7 days and it broke Lesson learnt: never ever buy razer products again

1.Use USB-HUB for wired connections 2.Get a mouse from razer - they are available as well on Mac and have Razer with unofficial APIs on GitHub for colour-LED dynamics. 3.Razer Mamba works like a charm with some nice rug of glass. Recommend. https://imgur.com/a/VZGJQwG Here, I am on the train. The rug doesn’t count. It’s my old photo

I’ve had nothing but razer mice through the years. The only thing that seems to happen to them all (for me, knock on wood) is the grip on the side will come off at some point and just need to be crazy glued. No biggie. Other than that (for mice) I love them. Having had a death adder, mamba, and now basilisk I recommend the basilisk of you play a lot of deferent games like I do. It will perform more then well for competitive, but also have enough buttons to macro for action games. Being able to click the scroll button left and right is a big help. That said if you play a lot of strategy or mmo’s my brother loves the naga. Has like 15 buttons. Pretty sure they make a newer version

I bought a Mamba one time, you know the one that came in the perspex box? It was their most expensive mouse at the time. After a few months of regular use, the left thumb grip peeled off, then the right, leaving sticky glue residue behind. Next, the plastic trim of the scroll wheel peeled off. Finally, the battery turned into a spicy pillow, which I needed to remove and then use it permanently with a cable. Shortly after I threw what was left of that piece of shit in the trash where it belongs, and vowed to never again buy Razer.

Razer mamba was the biggest mouse I ever owned.

Literally whatever is comfortable for you. I've yet to meet another person on this planet with hands as large as mine and I'm very comfortable and happy using a razer viper mini. I've used many mice in my life but the smaller mice are the most comfortable for me. Honorable mention to the razer Mamba mouse which was probably my favorite mouse of all time. Sadly it served its 7 years of service and they no longer sell them

This might be an unpopular opinion, and may depend on personal preferences, and hand-size, but I find the razer mamba, and shapes like that, really good for fingertip... I may have slightly large hands though...

OG Razer Mamba. Still works today like new but im not using it ofc

More like user issue to me. Some people out there are just bad and doesn’t take care of things. If you take care of something, It’ll take care of you. Stay away from Logitech and Steelseries. My glorious O is 5 years old now. I had my Benq Zowie for more than a decade and I still use it. Still have my Deathadder, Mamba, Spectre and Naga throughout the years. Zowie is always been my mouse and I bought one from 2022. I use my 10+ year old on my laptop.

I had a Black Mamba that I got in 2020 or 2021. It lasted 2 years before it started double-clicking on the RMB. I got a Corsair Dark Core Pro, and it has lasted as long, if not longer with no issues.

I still remember getting my mamba in 2012. It came with this absolutely gaudy wireless dock that I loved and still have. And the lights were blue only!

Only Razer product I would buy is their mice, namely the deathadder or mamba if you can find one for cheap. Don't buy their 'gaming' chair.. unless they addressed the granite armrests.
