Selected User Reviews For Razer Mamba Elite Wired Gaming Mouse: 16,000 DPI Optical Sensor - Chroma RGB Lighting - 9 Programmable Buttons - Mechanical Switches
UPDATE: br>If you have older Razer hardware, you're stuck with Synapse 2, but new hardware won't show up on it, so you'll have to settle for Synapse 3. The two programs don't play well together. After ten years of loyalty to Razer, I'm switching to a different brand because, as an IT Engineer, I can't justify wasting my time engineering this software when the brand is so careless as to ship non-functional beta software with its hardware, which causes problems for anyone who is loyal to the brand. AVOID IT. Original: br>br>Original: br>br>Original: br>br>Orig br>If you install the mouse's software as soon as you plug it in, you'll be in for a world of trouble. Synapse 3 is in beta, but it's more like alpha due to its issues. I've been a long-time user of Razer devices, and the Synapse software used to program keys and buttons is the worst part of them all. Please be wary of the software if you have any existing Razer devices installed on your computer. It also tries to load CRYPTO MINING SOFTWARE in the bundle, even though this isn't checked automatically. Save yourself the trouble and use Synapse 2 instead; just make sure your. The most recent version of the Net framework has been installed, allowing Razer's shoddy software to coexist on your computer.
When you pay nearly $100 for a mouse, you expect it to be nearly perfect. So, here are all of the Mamba's flaws. CONS: br>br>
- The battery life is subpar. This, of course, is dependent on how you use the Mamba. I have a 2-star rating on average. I'm on the computer for about 3-hours every day for the past three days. 4 hours per day is the maximum amount of time that can be spent on the computer. Otherwise, the mouse will drain itself if you don't turn it off after every use. br>The battery is a joke when compared to my Logitech mx. My MX will work even if I leave it on for days.
- Here's a big one for you: I have no idea what you're talking about. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THE MOUSE WHILE IT IS CHARGING. Mamba, as well as RGB, simply turns off. razer, what the hell is going on? As a result, I need a backup mouse in case the battery dies in the middle of a task, which happens a lot because, as previously stated, battery life is terrible. Which defeats the whole point of having this mouse in the first place.
- I'm not sure why Razer is taking so long to get Synapse 3 to work on Macs. Synapse 3 has been out for about a year and a half. For the past year and a half, it has been in beta. Pros: lmfaobr>br>
- The mouse performs exactly as it should. FPS games, leagues, and Starcraft are all things that come to mind when thinking about FPS games. All of them work extremely well, with excellent sensitivity and response. But, on the other hand, you're paying nearly $100. It should be able to handle all of those tasks without difficulty. br>br>In conclusion, I would return the Mamba and replace it with something else, but the Mamba goes so well with my Hunstamen Elite and Core X Chroma in terms of appearance. To be honest, I keep it around more for its appearance than for its utility. br>br>Regardless of how well the Mamba wireless works, it's still just a $100 paperweight that doubles as a mouse every now and then. "You get what you pay for," - br>br>"You get what you pay for," - br>br>"You get what you pay for," - This isn't the case. You get a lot less now. br>br>Update: 10- 2019: It's only been two months since I bought the mouse, and it completely broke. I'm very dissatisfied with the outcome. I suppose I'll have to look for something else to buy. From a two-star rating, it has been reduced to a one-star rating br>br>Recent changes: br>br> 11- 2021: I see that the price has been reduced to $50, but it is still not worth it. br>Synapse continues to be unusable on Mac. Every single one of my Razer products has failed in some way.
So, I've only had this mouse for a little over three months. When I hold down the left click button on my mouse, it does this strange thing. I used a razer orochi, and I think I have a different grip than most, albeit one that is similar to a "claw. " br>br>Whenever I hold down the left click button, the mouse appears to be torn between agreeing that I'm holding it down and simply clicking on its own while I'm holding it down. I don't have any macros assigned to me, and it's causing me a lot of problems. I truly believe I was duped into purchasing a used mouse. br>br>I do, however, use a 'claw' grip, which means my fingertips are further back along the mouse than others. The mouse, however, used to work even with that. I'm not sure why it's no longer functional. Is it possible that the software is defective? hardware? There's no way of knowing. br>br>With my razer orochi, I've had nothing but positive experiences. Buyers should be cautious. br>br>I tried calling Razer today but got no response because it was after hours. br>br>I'm hoping for a replacement and will gladly return this mouse to try a different one.
