The Drivers and Software
Rather than including a driver/software CD with the Mamba, Razer has provided a link to where they can be downloaded. The latest ones available when testing the mouse were v1.05 and came in a file size of just 38.9MB.
The first screen in the software allows you to assign different functions to the buttons. There are over 15 assignments to be had and so you can pretty much do anything possible.
The second screen has a slider for DPI and cursor acceleration and also three options for polling rate. The DPI speeds available range from 100 all the way up to 5600.
The software can also create different profiles. Therefore, you could have one profile with all the settings for day-to-day tasks and then another just for games. By simply switching profiles all the settings are then configured. Many mice come with the ability to do this and I find it’s a really useful feature.
For automated commands, you also have the option of Macros. You simply record the macro and then you can configure one of the buttons to play it. This makes it simple in-game to quickly perform actions with one single click – some see this as cheating.
As you saw on the previous page, the Razer Mamba has a number of lights. Although these do look quite appealing, when gaming in the dark they can often distract. So using the software you can also turn on or off the various lights.
