I had the Mamba (OG, 2012), Mamba Wireless (the one that OP has). The only mouse that fit my hand in terms of form factor after Mamba Wireless was Deathadder v2

Would you mind sharing the source files? This would be the perfect send off for my Razer Mamba 2012.

I have this mouse and it's amazing. I play mostly FPS with it and have had no problems. I had the razer mamba 2012 for 12 years before it started struggling to click. that's why I went with razer again.

I just scooped one to. Love this thing! Was using an older mamba and didn't realize how much mice have changed.

I really likw the razer deathadder v3 pro. My previous mouse was a razer mamba which lasted me 10+ years after which I decided I wanted something new. It was still working perfectly fine

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.
