just got myself a Mamba, totally sweet, blew all my other mice away even the X8 is nowhere near its ergonomics, smoothness and the usability of high dpi settings. only thing the X8 wins is the switching between wired / wireless mode.

One question, do you guys who owns the mamba every given any thought of the replacement li-ion polymer battery? Are there any replacement battery we can purchase for the mamba??

Hrm, I just sent razer a mail on replacement battery and here's their reply :

Mamba users :

I keep the charging base connected to the USB port (i.e. base lighted all the time) and my PC is ON 24/7. Mouse is placed at the charging base only when battery is low. Otherwise, mouse is off when not in use.

Question :

I noticed the charging base is always warm (touch from below the base at center area) and wonders whether its fine if I keep it that way or should I unplug the base from the USB when not in use? Will prolonged 'ON' keep connected to a 24/7 computer damage mamba's charging base?


About the uneven battery cover :
Mine had it, but I realise if you fold a bit the battery extraction plastic foil such that it doesn't push the cover outwards, and press the cover onto the mouse firmly, you can actually achieve a proper and even close.

Usage comment :
After updated to the latest firmware 1.08.03 realised the mouse goes into sleep (blue light at scroll wheel off and battery indicator off) like after 3 to 4 seconds of inactivity, upon moving the mouse, it wakes and the battery indicator will toggle between sensitivity level then back to battery level. By having the mouse going in and out of sleep mode this frequently makes the usage not so smooth coz when it wakes, the mouse pointer (when u move the mouse) will kinda jerk a little b4 everything is smooth again.

Also realised there's no way to set the time before sleep happens.

Would also like to ask whether can we flash back earlier firmwares?

Thanks heaps for all the answers. Will keep the base connected 24/7 then, wouldn't want to connect the cable directly to the mouse though....would not get the mamba if not for the wireless performance.

For the moment, the 'sleep after a short inactivity' is still tolerable...will see how it felt after some serious gaming..if its gonna affect, will then downgrade firmware
