The Razer Mamba is almost the Deathadder. The 2015 evolution of the Mamba adds new RGB lighting around the sides of the mouse, implements an interesting click force adjustment feature for independent tuning of the left and right mouse buttons, and a new sensor with a max 16,000 CPI. It adds a couple extra inputs with a scroll wheel that can click left and right while dropping the previous Mamba’s two buttons beside the left click. Like the Deathadder, its main buttons have an iconic contoured lip and the sides have grippy rubber pads for great control. The Mamba is almost a wireless Deathadder, but its minute differences, and the added weight of its rechargeable batteries, keep it from matching the best gaming mouse.
I’ve spent more than a week using the Razer Mamba non-stop as my work and gaming mouse, and I think it’s a big improvement over the wireless Razer Ouroborus in form-factor, customization, and battery life. Where the Ourobos’ customization focused on adding or removing thumb rests to either side, they never felt great. The Mamba instead nails its physical design with a fantastic body shape, and leaves the customization to the force required to click the left and right mouse buttons. Razer calls this “adjustable click force technology.”
The actuation force for each button can be separately adjusted to between 45 to 95 grams, with 15 steps of granularity. Razer recommends the lighter force for games like MOBAs where you want to click very quickly, and the higher force for shooters that require more “distinct and controlled” clicks. In my testing, the adjustment really does make a perceptible difference, but I wouldn’t say that it actually affected my playing across a variety of games. I didn’t find the minimum click too soft or easy, and I didn’t find the maximum click too hard. Both were fine.
I even booted up Cookie Clicker and timed myself clicking at 45g and 95g. In 20 seconds, I consistently scored in the 120-130 clicks range at 95g, and at 130-140 clicks at 45g. Our intern James saw a similar increase of about 10 clicks in that 20 second window when he tried cookie clicking. Evan and Tom, however, saw opposite results, and Evan and I talked about why; it’s hard sensation to describe, but our theory was that when raising his finger after the click, he was sometimes still applying just enough force to keep the button depressed. That lowered his total click count, because some intended clicks weren’t registering. I think the click force adjustment is a nice customization option to have, but don’t expect it to significantly change your gaming performance.
Battery life, too, is better. The Mamba has a rechargeable battery that Razer rates at 20 hours of continuous gaming, versus 12 hours for the Ouroboros. It’s also an improvement from the 16 hours claimed by the previous generation Mamba. That said, don’t necessarily expect to get 20 hours out of the mouse. The 1000Hz polling rate will use more battery life than the default 500 Hz, but if you care about the difference between a 1ms report rate to your PC and a 2ms report rate, the option is there for you. In my testing of the Mamba and many other gaming mice, I’ve never felt a noticeable difference between the two.
