Today is one of the happiest days of my Razer life because today is the day that we finally unveiled the Razer Mamba wireless gaming mouse. I don’t know how many of you are original, longtime Razer friends and fans but this is a dream that we began and actually announced roughly 8 years ago.
There are a number of reasons why we stuttered during the development of the Mamba and there is no way I can convince you that it takes 8 years to create a masterpiece. Over these many years of trial and error, we had a dream of creating the truly first wireless gaming mouse. Yes I know that there are a number of other wireless mice available but trust me when I tell you that they are not worthy of the title wireless gaming mice. If you don’t agree with this statement go to any BYOC, live gaming event, large LAN party, gaming center or arcade and see how many wireless mice are in use … freakin NONE!
From the beginning of its development we had four hard and fast rules that had to be perfected in order to make the Mamba a wireless gaming mouse. Overall it MUST perform exactly as a wired version of the best gaming mouse in the world. It had to limit latency to 1ms. It could not weigh more than a wired mouse. The battery life needed to be at least 9 hours or more (I’ll explain the more part later). And lastly signal conflict had to be mitigated as much as humanly possible.
I have searched our archives to find some original Mamba images and these date back to 2001. Back then all we made was the original Boomslang ball assembly mouse. If you recall that mouse gained critical acclaim as the first and original gaming mouse. We needed to follow up the success of the Boomslang with a wireless mouse and the gamers we interviewed at that time wanted a right-handed design.
After a year of research and development we began to run out of money. Since we had already announced the Mamba to our fans we came up with a less-than-genius plan to enlist our fan’s support and raise a little capital to “Save the Mamba”. Since this mouse was an endangered species in 2002 we printed Save the Mamba tee shirts and baseball caps and used the proceeds to keep the flame of creativity afire.
At that time (2002) technology limited us to a 2000 DPI, 900Hz mouse that weighted in at 180g with the batteries. I guess it was a good thing that we fumbled all those years as the 2009 version of the Mamba is 5600 DPI laser at 2.4GHz and weighs in at an amazing 129g even with the battery in place.
Again, and I repeat myself, with a firmware latency limited to 1 freakin millisecond!
I’m going to delve into much deeper information in this blog than my usual pithy approach because 1) you need to know what a huge achievement this is and 2) how truly excited I am regarding this mouse. So here is some of the official Mamba specs …
Mamba Specs
Wired Latency
• 1ms (Ultrapolling)
Wireless Latency
• 1ms (Ultrapolling)
Weight of Mamba
• With Battery – 129g
• Without Battery – 108g
Weight of MX 1000
• 169g
Weight of G7 in grams
• With Battery – 134g
• Without Battery – 115g
Time Required to Fully Charge Battery
• Timing required for both Dock and USB is the same. Difference is in switch settings.
• Mamba switch in ON position – 5 hours
• Mamba switch in OFF position – 4 hours
Battery Life
• Continuous Gaming Usage – 14 hours
• Normal Gaming Usage – 72 hours
Default DPI Settings
• 5 Settings are available on the mouse by default – 800, 1200, 1800, 4000, 5600
1800DPI is the default setting
Earlier in this post I alluded to extended battery life and “more”. The more part relates to one of the coolest features of the Mamba. The mouse performs in dual-mode wireless and wired functionality. You will be able to switch quickly between the freedom of wireless into the frenzy of wired play with zero down time for charging. The USB cable can be easily and instantly switched from the charger unit directly into the mouse. It’s diabolically cool.
Mamba Q and A
Also in order to better to anticipate your many questions here is a beginning Q and A. Please write me back through this blog with any other questions and I will do my best to answer them and also update this Q and A so everyone else can read them.
Q. How is it possible to have 1ms polling rate in wireless mode when the mouse supposedly communicates to the receiver at 1000hz and then the receiver communicates to the computer at a rate of 1000hz – theoretically this would degrade signal strength by 25% unless there is a repeater type function built into the receiver itself. While testing I have found the Mamba in wireless mode to be indeed around 750hz, not 1000hz. Please keep in mind my findings are based off of the windows drivers and I will test again when I have access to the proper drivers.
A. Ultrapolling is a hardware level optimization. The mouse hardware, wireless transmission and reception and USB communications are tuned to send information from the mouse hardware to the PC at a 1000 times a second (A frequency of 1000Hz / a 1ms interval).
This is a hardware feature. It is active all the time. It is active whether or not data is sent by the mouse and received by the PC.
Software that measures polling frequency captures data received by the PC system. This software measurement is always lower than the hardware setting. It varies depending on the frequency of data sent by the mouse to the PC. It is not representative of the hardware setting.
Q. Will the Mamba communicate with more than one receiver at a time?
A. Our engineers have attempted to get a single Mamba mouse to work simultaneously with two charging docks. It has not been possible on our end.
If it was meant that two Mamba mice are able to be paired to a single Charging Dock, this is enabled for debugging purposes. It shall not be possible with customer hardware.
Q. Does the Mamba have dynamic power scaling?
A. No, the Mamba is tuned for gaming performance and all hardware equipment is provided with the required power at a constant rate.
The Mamba utilizes Power Management where it enters into a standby state after it remains idle for a few minutes. This is done to extend the time before a recharge is required.
Q. Do we have the R&D preliminary studies with an in-depth performance analysis?
A. What we can provide is a comparison of communication latency across the various wireless mouse technologies:
o Bluetooth – 14ms
o Generic 2.4Ghz – 8ms
o Gaming Grade 2.4Ghz – 2ms
o Razer Mamba – 1ms
Q. Razer Mamba security features, what are they?
A. The Razer Mamba utilizes a proprietary wireless protocol.
The pairing of Dock and Mouse utilizes a proprietary pairing protocol.
No encryption of the signal is made as this would affect performance.
Q. What are the hardware DPI intervals to?
A. 800 DPI is the minimum gaming-grade DPI setting.
If lower DPI values are desired, they are able to be configured via the software drivers.
Q. Are any of these claims for longer battery life in wireless mode than competitors valid?
A. Our proprietary laser sensor gives more power with less power drawn
Increase in battery cells and quality
Firmware/Drivers/Software
The Razer Mamba’s Laser sensor is able to deliver gaming-grade performance while drawing less power.
It uses a high-grade, rechargeable Lithium-Ion Polymer battery.
The Razer Mamba was designed for gaming performance with an extended battery life. This is accomplished with optimized electronics and power management. The Mamba is a Razer gaming-grade mouse of the highest order. As responsiveness and accuracy are key to gaming performance, where and how you move the mouse is exactly how the cursor responds.
To wrap up this post I wanted to express my personal gratitude to our development and firmware teams who have worked hours, months and years on this amazing piece of engineering. This is truly quality product and the estimated MSRP of $129.99US reflects the craftsmanship and attention to detail that those of you who desire a wireless gaming mouse can expect. My best guess of retail availability is early April of this year.

Congratulations on finally accomplishing this project! It is quite simply an irresistable thing of beauty. There is NO WAY anyone can hate it!
I knew it was a wireless! It’s such a shame that I haven’t been a gamer for that long, otherwise, i would have gotten the name right too! =P
January 8th, 2009 at 11:56 am
ok, now it seems razer (the last up-to-date ambidextrous gamers mice out there) is also going the right-handed route ;(((
is it really so hard to make a left handed version for gamers?! maybe there is not enough profit for left handed design. quite sad about that.
January 8th, 2009 at 11:59 am
awesome mouse ppl….. love you all for creatin the insanest gaming mouse….. and i guess the correct name woohoo….. hope i get the mouse now since my copperhead feet are wearing away…..
January 8th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
Will this mouse work on linux?
January 8th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
loving it. similarly to nitrocola – i have only been a razer fanboy for a few months so i too didn’t guess the name correctly
this mouse is bad ass!
January 8th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Jesus H. Christ… I WANT ONE T_T wonder how much it would cost
January 8th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
Really nice to see Razer finally doing the impossible.. Making a wireless gaming mouse.
Just hoping it won’t be limited to righthanded version.
Thats the main problem being lefthanded.. <3 copperhead
January 8th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
simply amazing. All wireless mice I have used are inaccurate and not fun to work with. Can’t wait to try this one out XD
January 8th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
PRICE?!!!
And when will it ever be available in India with the price actually not being raised 4x
January 8th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
Hmmm. I’m gonna have to read some serious reviews before I ever switch to ANY sort of wireless for gaming. We’ll see how it pans out eh? I for one can’t handle yet another thing to keep charged. I spend 1/2 my life keeping things charged…i know, i have a tough life.
January 8th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Wow.
Just… Wow.
This looks simply amazing.
Love the design since it looks so much like the Deathadder, and that’s the only mouse I’ve found to actually excel because of it’s nice, comfortable grip.
Good job Razer!
January 8th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
I hate you people for making this mouse today instead of a week ago !! I just bought a Lachesis and I now want the Mamba soooo bad, it’s just absolutely terrific !
Congratulations to all of you ! I really, really really love the Mamba !
January 8th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
very nice! i would love to purchase one of these bad boys.
January 8th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
I remember looking forward to the Mamba back in the day. I had one of the first Boomslang 2000s and kept it going for a few years with parts of 3 different Boomslang 1000s bought off of ebay in anticipation of the Mamba. Eventually it bit the dust and I settled for a Copperhead. I thought it was now just a pipe dream after all these years, but I kept hope alive and even guessed “Mamba” in the latest contest. You about made me fall out of my chair with excitement when I read that it’s finally being released!
January 8th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
I just wish they would have put 2 buttons under the scroll wheel like habu and lachesis. I think then this would be a perfect mouse. Always something missing.

OMG WE U F***ING FREAK ME OUT I WANT THAT RIGHT NOW GIVGIVGIVGIVGIVGIVGIVGIVGIVGIVGIVGIV GIVE IT TO ME NOWWW PLZ
I LOVE U RAZERTEAM AND RAZER AND EVERYTHING ELSE FROM RAZER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

January 8th, 2009 at 11:41 pm
i guessed right! i hope i get a free one like they promised!
January 8th, 2009 at 11:45 pm
I called this from the very beginning. Can I have one? xD
Looks siiiiick. 1ms looks BEAST.
January 9th, 2009 at 12:43 am
Can you play WITHOUT THE BATTERY?
This will be the deciding factor whtether to buy the mouse or not.
January 9th, 2009 at 1:19 am
Great work Razer!
I would like to know whether we can switch the Mamba to stop automatically charging when on wired mode…Because I don’t want it to be constantly over charging the rechargeable batteries which might kill them.
Also will the batteries be interchangeable or will we have to get a new mouse once the original one dies?
oh man.. I really want a Mamba >.<!!
January 9th, 2009 at 4:08 am
I guessed it right!
I CANNOT wait to get my hands on this.
January 9th, 2009 at 5:50 am
5600 !!! 5600 !!! ~~~ !!!!!! ~~~ !!!!! 5600 ~~~!!!!!!!!!!!
January 9th, 2009 at 6:21 am
^5600dpi is so much that I wouldn’t even use it. 1800dpi would be more than enough. With 5600dpi I believe it will affect your aim negatively when it registers even the slightest fraction of movement and starts messing up your aim.
January 9th, 2009 at 7:18 am
h.f.s.! THIS MOUSE IS INCREDIBLE! goodbye obsolete Copperhead…
January 9th, 2009 at 10:21 am
Congratulations Razer on finally coming up with the best mouse in the world.
I had been wondering why it had been almost a year and a half since the release of the Lachesis that Razer had not come up with an even more powerful mouse…
So this is what you guys have been working on all this while… Awesome… I play FPS competitively and I am really looking forward to using this mouse to give me that extra edge.
However, one issue to note… I do hope Razer does make teflon feet replacements more easily available in retail shops… I use my mouse 8 hours a day and it wears out really fast…
Once again, congrats on the Mamba.
January 9th, 2009 at 10:38 am
@Rob
The whole point of this is that you don’t HAVE to charge all the time…you can plug in the cord and keep going! =]
January 9th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
I really wish anything that has a light on it would come in a different color than blue… blue is ridiculously overdone.
Is there any chance that the mamba can change it’s color on the fly or buy a different colored version?
January 9th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
@ meaintsmart
Kumar J is in India, not US. That price and release date have no bearing on him.
January 9th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
@ Jesse
I would assume yes you can take the battery out, although if it’s not designed that way you would probably void the warranty.
January 9th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
Pretty promising. Hope the max speed and acceleration are really as huge as razer writes. If that’s true laser mice are finally coming close to optical mice by their perfomance. But what the hell made you remove 400/450/500dpi mode from mamba, db3g & salmose? You lost a lot of potential buyers by making that mistake tbh :S Also when the hell will razer make the mouse without pointer correction/prediction, is it so hard???? That would be real bestseller imo, most old players who are used to outdated microsoft mice just because they have no correction (and there’re LOTS of such ppl) would switch to it for sure. That would be much more accurate than any 999999999 dpi mouse. [DA + no pointer correction + higher max speed @ low dpi + no slippery rear plastic] = a damn dream mouse.
could anyone from razer answer/explain these simple questions? :S
January 9th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
WOW. =)Where can i pre-order one?!?? :3
January 10th, 2009 at 6:42 am
Amazing, goodbye MX518!
Will there be some MAC divers??
January 10th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
I need this.
January 10th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
hi
there is difficult on side find some mail contact to “support” or to razerguy, so i post here..
i play pc games almost whole life, my hand -wrist hurt, coz of using BAD mouse. but why the hell i use non ergonomic mouse for my hand ??
BECAUSE I’M LEFTHANDER.
i feel really discriminating in this topic, because there is no pro gaming mouse for lefthanders(only 1 model by logitech but wireless..) !
when i saw new mamba i almost cryed, coz i will never play with that jewel !
i would pay all high prices for mice if there’s some mice for lefthanders….
it;s very bad
IS IT REALLY SO UNPROFITABLE THING, MAKE SAME MODEL FOR LEFTHANDERS WHEN NEW U MAKE NEW MOUSE ?
best regards
Tomm
January 10th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
No offense but after seeing literally all the mouse producers ONLY PRODUCING RIGHT HANDED PRODUCTS (razer partially excluded) im starting to get really f*cking pissed of with them. would it be so hard to make it ambidextrous?????
Stupid mouse companies discriminating!!. maybe im just a grumpy old gamer. i don’t know just seems typical of companies to ignore the minority. also copying the death adders design seems like a bit of a short cut? mind leaving the internals and copying the copperheads design or is that to much to ask??
Regards
Grumpy Gamer
January 11th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
i think ambidextrous is not solution, most gamers play many hours per day, definitelly u need ergonomic design for ur hand.
January 11th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
I think its great they copied the death adder’s design.
It is one of their(if not) their most popular mouse. So when people see this mouse and think about switching over it won’t be a big deal because it will feel the same as the death adder that they use.
January 11th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
For the Q&A -
Are you planning on making the internal battery replaceable at all? The lifespan of the mouse would be seriously set back by being bound to the lifespan of the battery.
January 11th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
I am so disappointed with this being a right handed mouse. Razer, I have been using your equipment for years because your mice were at least ambidextrous and now you’ve taken the wrong path.
We left handers have been supporting you for a while now, don’t drop support for us.
January 12th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
Thank god you decided to go with the right-handed mouse. I’ve been with Razer since the Boomslang, and the Death Adder remains the best mouse you have ever released.
Kudos to you, and I’ll be picking one up when it drops.
January 12th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
Being a lefty I was disappointed the Deathadder is right-handed form. I have recommended it to my friend so I have had the pleasure using it and it’s a masterpiece of it’s own.
I can’t believe Mamba is right-handed form too! They say a mouse is your best weapon for online gaming, that their mice is the best. I feel discriminated against because I have basically had my weapon taken away from me. Righties get ultra comfy mice, we get forgotten.
I thought Razer was a “different” company but looks like they expect left handed people to switch to using their right hand LIKE EVERY OTHER CORPORATION. After playing CS:S for 5 years why would I want to use my weaker hand. I’m a GAMER I can’t just switch, this isn’t an office mouse thousands of gamers out there NEED a left handed version, it can’t be too hard to flip a design.
Sorry if I came off as hating Razer, I LOVE them but they are ignoring us. How sad for me to read this brilliant news about Mamba only to find out they forgot one important thing, us leftys out there. I can see them making only right-handed mice from now on.
Left handers are people too… gamers even! Respect goes out there to any leftys reading this, DON’T BE FORCED TO USE YOUR RIGHT HAND. Don’t underestimate the strength of your left hand, it’s who you are. We are gifted to use the left side of our brain.
‘Made for gamers by gamers’
I am a gamer and this mouse wasn’t made for me.
Razer PLEASE we need you to make a left-handed version. We believe in you and support you, please support us.
January 13th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
HEY RAZER|GUY NICE GORILLA PET
(on wow)
January 13th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
Wow kudos to Razer for approving my comment even though I may have been a bit out of line. <3 Razer
I really want this mouse
January 14th, 2009 at 3:25 am
Nice job razer,
It’s truly a work of art, even the station is amazing looking.
January 14th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
Congratulations Razer on the completion of the Mamba.
I’m a competitive CSS player, I currently use a Razer DeathAdder and I am looking forward to how the Mamba performs.
There are a few things I would like to know though, I saw a video with the Razerguy and I remember him saying the mouse has no prediction. Does this mean that it has no prediction/correction? Because this is one of the things I didn’t like about my DeathAdder, I felt it lacked the pixel perfect tracking due to prediction/correction.
If it is true that the Mamba has no prediction/correction, I will definetly consider purchasing the mouse, but I must admit that at 130 euro’s it is a very expensive mouse compared to the DeathAdder which you can buy for as little as £25. So I might weight until the price drops.
Also I am curious about how low the lift-off distance is, because as a low sensitivity player, it is important that lift-off is kept as low as possible. If it’s possible could you give the exact measurement of the lift-off distance for the Mamba on a cloth pad say like the Everglide Titan.
Lastly I am abit sceptical because the Mamba uses a laser sensor instead of an optical sensor. But if the tracking is as great as Razer are claiming then it shouldn’t be a problem.
I have bought a SteelSeries Ikari Laser recently, I chose the laser instead of the Optical because the Optical version has such a high lift-off distance. The Ikari Laser is a pretty good mouse and is very comfortable, the tracking on the mouse is great due to having the option of turning prediction off. However I still use my DeathAdder, because the Ikari suffers from negative acceleration which affects low sensitivity players like myself. I just hope the Mamba tracks as well as the DeathAdder in terms of reliability (no skipping, negative or positive acceleration) and as accurate as the SteelSeries Ikari Laser (no prediction/correction). Because in my opinion that would make the Mamba a perfect gaming mouse. Fingers crossed.
January 15th, 2009 at 7:23 am
Thx for replying me Razer Guy
January 16th, 2009 at 10:33 am
Ok, I want this mouse
I have a IMAC 3.06GHz with Windows installed on part of the hardrive.
I do medium to hardcore gaming.
I know this will work on the Windows side, can it work on the MAC side, have any of the devs tried that by chance and what software would recommend me using on the MAC side to get it to work if any?
If you can answer these questions you have my 130$ great design !
January 16th, 2009 at 10:35 am
I can get pretty much any mouse for PC to work on a mac with steermouse but this is not bluetooth, would it work if i plugged it in via usb, would it work wirelessly on mac?
Just wondering…
January 17th, 2009 at 9:42 am
Nice killer for war3 but too expensive…
January 30th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
I just got mine in this morning. The packaging, while neat for store shelves, is absolutely HORRIBLE for shipping. My UPS box was rattling as I took it inside. When I went to open it I found out, to my horror, that the rattling was my $129.99 mouse! The sides of the clear plastic casing were dented and chipped and my mouse has several permanent scratches on it. Furthermore the mouse was lacking any sort of CD/Driver so I went to their site to look for it. Not only is no driver available for download but I can’t even register my product. Those issues aside I must say that this is probably one of the best mice I have ever handled – and I have gaming mouse ADD. I rate this mouse 10/10 for it’s hard ware but STRONGLY suggest that Razer Ltd. rethink it’s packaging.
February 9th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
Hey Avonin -
This happened to a very limited amount of mice. You should have been contacted by our support and had this issue personally addressed. If not, please let us know and we will take care of it.
February 13th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
Hi,
i’ve read that the mamba can track up to 200 inch per second on a good mouse pad. So my question is, what kind of mouse pad would be the best to get good mouse readings at 100 – 200 inch/s ? Best would be a large flexible mouse pad that i can cut to my preferred format. Price is not so important.
Oh, and yes, i know 200 inch/s is f*****g fast but believe me, my mamba will reach this speed
I can’t find an email address for technical support, can anyone give me a hint?
Thanks
February 18th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
You want to use the Destructor as that pad was made for our laser sensors. Also, you can check out http://www.razersupport.com for tech support issues.
February 23rd, 2009 at 1:45 pm
To all those who are wondering, the Mamba is wonderful. I received it about 2 weeks ago as one of the first pre-orders. Even the casing that it’s shipped in is fantastic. The battery is able to be removed easily, as you would removed any batteries from a remote (without voiding warranties). I’m guessing Razer will put spare batteries up for sale in their store in the next month or two. The only downside is that we’re still awaiting the drivers to be released. It’s not a huge deal as I’m still using my DeathAdder, but very anxious to get the drivers installed and begin battle-testing. Thanks Razer for providing another premier product.
*To those that say they should have stayed with the Copperhead design, I believe the DeathAdder is the best mouse Razer has created (design-wise). If you’re left-handed, it’s unfortunate but this design is flawless, might have to branch out to other manufacturers.
May 8th, 2009 at 10:23 am
I would buy that mouse if it were for left-handers
June 11th, 2009 at 11:32 am
Make a mac version!!
June 27th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
This mouse has positive acceleration. I returned it. It was great otherwise.
June 28th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
I really wish I could buy this mouse, but like many others, I need a left-handed version. I don’t understand why gaming mice specifically for lefties are impossible to find. Sure, from a marketing standpoint the target audience is smaller than right-handers, but there are also few alternatives for lefties. I think the first company to release a decent lefty mouse for gamers would gain complete control of that demographic. It makes fiscal since, so why not do it?
I like my ambidextrous copperhead, but it’s wearing out and doesn’t hold a candle to the potential of a simple left-handed version of the mamba.
June 29th, 2009 at 6:59 am
I really adore the razer mamba. It is one hell of a mouse. It looks nice and is perfectly good for right-handers. I am right-handed and I currently own the razer lachesis. I bought that earlier as it was the best mouse in 2008 and I cant hold it properly as it does not really appeal to palm- holders, more to claw-holders. I am now saving money for this mouse and am going to buy it as soon as I have the money. THANK YOU Razer, for building the best mouse ever. Only if the price were $15 dollars cheaper…
July 14th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
@opo
That might have been an issue where you could have fixed it with the drivers or something with your system settings. Sorry to hear you got rid of it, we probably could have addressed it.
July 15th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Hello Just like to ask if you guys plan on making a left handed model in the future ?
Thanks !
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:29 pm
@ Razer|Mjolnir / everyone
I found what was causing the acceleration. When I read about Dynamic DPI Scaling at Razer Blueprints, it sounded exactly like what I was seeing, so I bought it again and updated to firmware 1.06 instead of 1.07. Wow, this is the way I was expecting the mouse to act in the first place. No acceleration at all, jitter is extremely minimal to non-existent (even with 1.06 firmware), and of course I’ve always loved the DeathAdder shape (and thus the Mamba). GREAT mouse! Hopefully in the future, you will release two different versions of your firmware, one with and one without Dynamic DPI Scaling, or incorporate an option into the driver itself to enable/disable it.
November 10th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
I’ve been looking into getting this mouse. Mainly because it’s badass, in addition it has two buttons on the left click button which would be very nice to have for the games that I play. Having 3 buttons within reach of my trigger finger would be simply incredible. However this mouse is right handed and would feel awkward in my left hand. Can you guys tell me if/when you guys might come out with an ambidextrous mouse that has the three left click design of the mamba? I would buy the mamba without question, instantly, except for it’s right handed.
June 2nd, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Hey extremely nice web log!! Man .. Lovely .. Awesome .. I will bookmark your weblog effectively get distinct feeds also…
