seems like lot people fed up with Lycosa already.

Arctosa is almost the same thing with Lycosa but without the lighting. The extra backlit feature need a lot of power and bringing lot problem to the keyboard chips, cause it die off faster.

Most of here experienced Razer's quality control ^^

so you mean i should buy normal blackwidow instead of ultimate ?

Common issues for Lycosa both the normal version and the mirror edition :

1. Random keys not responding
2. Stuck key (pressed only once but the key keep responding over n over again)
3. Media panels not working

When any of above happens, user have to unplug and USB cable and plug it in again to temporary resolve the issue. The problem will manifest again after a while.

So to all Lycosa users and potential buyers of Lycosa, take note of these problems....if you guys do some google, u will find that this issue has been around since 2007/8 when the first Lycosa was launched. Was reportedly overcome by Razer and claimed only happens on 2007/8 batches only....but in fact it still happens to today's models as well as the mirror editions, the 2010 models are all still affected. Which also means, even when you get it claimed for warranty and being replaced with new units, the problems will still exist!

which also equals to that razer did not do anything to counter the hardware problem.

woah. this is quite a find out. I was dreaming on having a lycosa before.

hurm, i think you're right. but i hope anything after the lycosa that razer make is better than it's previous.

And don't forget to check which grip type are you using to hold the mouse. I wasted some cash just because of incompatibility grip VS design.

TRON mouse is for Finger-tip Grip only(dimension-wise).

But at the end of the day, you still have to get something that you like. If you like having the backlights and extra USB + audio ports then by all means go for the Ultimate.

i agree. example : 1 day you go buy normal blackwidow, then you realised it didnt satisfy you. so you wanna sell it, (at lower price) and go for ultimate. it'll be a waste of money here.

Ya, agree with you too. Backlights are uesfull in the dark and extra usb ports are less messy.

Anyone knows what's wrong with my Mamba? I can only right click and unable to move the cursor. I tried the Mamba on other computer as well and also face the same problem. Anyone faced this problem before?

Did you flash the firmware and re-install the driver? How about using it with the wire; do you have the same problem? Mamba is a screwed up mouse, never ending problems and terrible battery life I got rid of mine just a month of ownership, totally gave up.

It has been ok all this while until I boot up the computer today. I've been on wired mode for the past weeks as I'm using the computer for longer hours to prevent the hassle of charging the mouse. I don't think it's the driver problem since normally the mouse would work normally on a new computer that has not used the mouse before?

If you are having problems when it's wired then something is terribly wrong. I have a friend which he has to RMA within the first week of the same issue, the mouse cursor is not moving at all even in wired mode.

Urgh, this will be like my third time RMA-ing the mouse. Not buying any Razer products anymore, luckily I havne't gotten the Blackwidow Ultimate that I was planning to buy.

I've used many Razer products and I have the Black Widow Ultimate. So far the most problematic product is the Razer Mamba and really not worth the price! As for the keyboard, it's working fine but the ticking sound is quite loud though

@fawkes & @clawhammer

Hey u guys r making me worried on my mamba d ... mine is still not back yet from RMA.....

Looks like most Mamba users have RMA-ed their mouse before, LOL! I have RMA-ed mine on the first week itself, the wireless mode doesn't work!!!

Which happens to be one of the selling point as well, the amazing clicky sound when the user is typing. Typewriter feel makes it great to use for typing.

I know but it's too loud, haha I guess it's subjective but I think if it's softer then it'll be great!

too loud?? wish it izint as loud as i expected...since my parents not very like these kinds of sound cuz they think its kinda irritating ..but whatever..type a little softer would b ok d
