The Razer Mamba

The Razer Mamba itself is very attractive with a sleek and sharp design. It comes with a matt black rubber texture on top, on the buttons and where the fingers/thumb would rest. This allows the user to have a very secure and comfortable grip on the mouse.

The right side specifically is completely bare with no buttons. As the Mamba is quite comfortable in both left and right hand, this is a slight let down as it’s nearly impossible for left hand users to make use of the buttons on the left.

The two buttons on the left side of the mouse are quite large and perfectly positioned for easy use. It feels good pressing the buttons as they compress a fair amount and make a nice ‘click’ sound. This is helpful in-game as you know your click have been registered.

There are also two more buttons located at the side of the left-click button. These are positioned very closely to the main left click button and so it’s very easy to accidently press this too.

A subtle but obvious feature of the Mamba is the black outlined tribal-like Razer logo which locates towards the rear of the mouse. This looks rather appealing and has a menacing look towards it.

The front of the Razer Mamba reminds me a lot of the motorbike-like vehicle from ‘The Dark Knight’. The sharp edge of the left and right click buttons and the gap in the centre really does look very sinister.

Hidden below the scroll wheel is a USB connector. The Razer Mamba can be used as a wired mouse as well as a wireless one and so this is where the cable connects.

The bottom of the Razer Mamba is gloss black plastic. There are three large Teflon feet to protect the surface and to help the mouse glide well. Also on the bottom are three buttons: on/off, wireless connect and eject (allows the USB cable to be disconnected when being used as a wired mouse). Located in the centre is the laser sensor with surround.

The battery sits in a compartment on the bottom of the Mamba. It doesn’t need to be connected to any wires as it has metal contacts on the battery which contacts with metal contacts inside the compartment.

The charger is made from glossy black acrylic and has a translucent acrylic base. There is also a connect switch on the front of the dock and the Razer logo.
