how could an expensive mouse that costs 400+ comes with so many problems..
sigh.. my imperator still kickin after half a year of hardcore gaming!

I don't assume things I input based on my real life experience and if I don't own it, I don't comment unlike most people that likes to mislead others when they don't even own that product. You must also understand every product is different even it's from the same company. The only reason people say Razer has good quality is because they never used other brands. If you compare build quality against Steelseries of the same range, you will get what I mean

I own a mamba too. As u said before mamba battery only 2 hours for hardcore gaming, I think ur battery lifespan is getting low. I can use more than 6 hours.

Again, I give my own opinion. It works fine for me. Does that mean that it will suit your needs? No right? I find the buggy and laggy firmware stg acceptable as it does not really affect me doing whatever I'm doing. I still can set my macros n etc and use em.

FYI, I do own a huge list of gaming mouse ranging from the Mx510 to SS to Roccat n etc. Does not mean I say the thing is good, its damn good. It all boils down to your own damn opinion. Say what you want, but the fact that I sidelined already the Mamba is a clear reason there's issues with it. Its just that we both have different issues with the mouse.

I rest my case then. Let the discussion roll on.

maybe u been plain unlucky like someone else here
over the last few yrs i've never had any mouse breakdown on me, be it razer or steelseries or logitech.
the razer mouse i've used the longest would have to be the copperhead for 2.5yrs.

wow 2.5 years that long... my krait dead on me after 1.5 years...

Added on December 26, 2010, 7:14 pmSeriously Mamba is overprice. rm400 for a mouse is too much unless you are damn pro playing in PFS.
I better use the rm400 on other to improve my playing skill...
So, I think I have make up my mind I going for Orochi then...
Btw, isit alot diff between 2000dpi while wireless while 4000dpi on cable?
anyone can help me on this?

actually wouldve been more than 2.5yrs...but then i started using the boomslang CE for another 1.5yrs until last yr when i switched to the xai

2000dpi cant fit my needs T_T
im used to 2500dpi till 3500dpi..
i shall continue considering the MAMBA.
anymore reviews n comments are great appreciated!

why you need 2500 to 3500 dpi?
isit that much diff?

im a pure fps player, so i need to adjust dpi according to situation.
for example, i use 2500dpi when im in sniper mode n 3000-3500dpi when i in rush mode.
the diff is much when u turn 360 n every angle(left top,bottom right n etc)

It's alright to say your own opinion but it is WRONG when you label other people's opinion as baseless like what you've mentioned earlier. If you expect yourself to give opinions then please respect other's too The other problem is fan-boyism. It's very common among typical Malaysians especially lowyat.net members whereby if they own something expensive, they praise the product like some God made product.


I'm not saying the mouse breaks down but it's the build quality of it. Of course it's usable but if it's filmsy and fragile (if you get what I mean). The battery life of Mamba is indeed disappointing if you compare against other wireless gaming mouse.


It is indeed overpriced I agree with you on that but myself being a gadget freak, I just buying whatever to try things out. After that I can well conclude that Mamba isn't worth the money at all. My friend owns the Mamba and we bought together. If you ask him how's the Mamba, he will say throw it into the bin. I have another rich water cooling customer which owns the Mamba, he too insists that the mouse is crap. Sometimes when you boot up your PC, it doesn't detect the Mamba (when it's wireless). However if you ask a fanboy, he of course will praise the Mamba as some Godlike mouse.

Wow... It seems like Mamba is rubbish... Or may be it just diff ppl point of view...
Well I don't think Razer cr8 a rubbish mouse right?
what do you think clawhammer?
Orochi is wireless and only have 2000dpi then will it auto change to 4000 when I insert the cable?
and can u suitable with the weight with batt and sometime without batt?

I can conclude that Mamba isn't worth the money (RM400+). These are the few common problems by the Mamba but there are also good things like it can provide high dpi and it's precision is excellent. Razer makes good mouse except certain models are just crap, some are plain filmsy and fragile. I never had experiences with the Orochi but as for the weight, it is really subjective. The general idea of getting a good mouse is that as long as your hands fit in well and comfortable, that mouse is well suited for yourself. No point to buy an expensive mouse where it doesn't fit your hands well - you won't be able to enjoy good gaming due to that as well.

Yes, indeed the performance, accuracy, precision and its wireless polling rate for the Mamba is best. Nothing out there today compares to it.

And then the bad part are those as mentioned earlier....could not understand why they wanna design the mouse to use a 800mAh battery pack instead of just a rechargeable AA battery which you can get for like 2000 to 2700 mAh which will last a lot more.

With all that said, some of us could not justify the price tag given the above pro n cons.

Would have been an awesome mouse if its priced circa RM280....but this thing is RM430 (when I bought)....so, normally one would have higher expectation afterall its a premium mouse.

cos if two AA batts already its about 50% of the mouse weight which obviously makes it pretty heavy.

anyway its a IT world and ur paying for technology...and sometimes just paying for pure marketing.
just like everyone buying iphones, but i for sure think they're crap...

Too bad it requires over 3 volts..maybe due to the performance of the mouse. Most logitech uses 1 AA battery which is 1.5v and it runs for like 3 months in a single charge...

diff category.
try telling me logitech g700 or g7 can run for 3 months while gaming every night

R U willing to part over RM400 for a mouse?
Do U need the performance, dpi, precision?
Can U live with the underlying issues?
Do U really need it wireless?

Added on December 27, 2010, 11:36 amYea, performance requirements....i guess its really a trade off.....

Battery issue can be forgiven, but software laggines, squeaky / creaky sound at scroll wheel.....garrhhhh....for over RM400, is kinda hard to forgive...my RM20 mouse's scroll wheel has no issues...

Fanboyz always ignore those elements. For them, RAZER FTW anyway!!!

O,I used G7 last time,got 2 batteries.
Anyway,what is the different between Black Widow and Black Widow Ultimate?What is the 'different feeling'in real world usage?Is there any issue with Black Widow so far?Thanks.
