Nice mouse, naughty price.

Great review AntiHero

Author: Stuart Kennedy? I thought Anti Hero wrote it, who is called Pete? :S

Anyway, nice review, and I like the way it can be wired aswell

Is his name Pete? All emails came from Stuart. Maybe his brother?

Yer, AHUK is pete.

Congratz on getting your review published Stuart/Pete

oooo looks niice, they need to revamp the GUI of the software badly haha. Might still pick a logitech over this tho

I reckon the Mamba is better than any Logitech. Which one did you have in mind?

Yeah, It was like that 2 years ago, same now. Although I suppose if it works why fix it?

The only reason I'd pick another mouse, logitech,roccat etc.. over this is price

Congrats dude, well earned front page slot - kudos

Sorry for the confusion Jim. The emails came from my brother as he wanted to send the Rights Agreement for the photos from his email instead of mine. Also he had all the photos on his laptop

Thanks for all your comments guys. It's great seeing my review published on the front page

Great review mate, enjoyed reading that. I liked the way you chose 3 different classes in TF2 as they are all handled very differently.

Interesting to see that the disadvantages of wireless have been cancelled out, but that price is rediculous!

It would seem microsoft have already made a wireless gaming mouse, and judging by the reviews I have read, it works pretty well.

I think it's so nice, I may even buy one

Linky

-edit-

I'm guessing the wireless in this is pretty powerful, do you know if it affects speakers in the same way as a mobile phone?

There is no interference whatsoever with my speakers thus far. I don't think I would keep a mouse if it did cause problems

I wouldn't buy wireless anyway, I have a thing against it

Also, I hope theres some sarcasm there because that mouse is fugly!

Great review, great performer, but for that money, I don't think I could stomach it. I'm pretty happy with the G9. Also isn't the frequency above that that could interfere with speakers/soundcards? I thought phones interfered because they were about 88MHz but wireless tends to be about 2.4ghz, so there isn't a problem. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

And just to eat my own words, I bought one. It is very nice, really comfortable, nice and chunky, feels just the right weight, slides amazingly. Still think the wheel on the g9 is better, and it still is pretty expensive, but I'm happy, might do a user review at some point.

wish i had this mouse it looks awesome and its wireless

looks amazing and im sure it performs amazing

Whoa. Talk about a thread from the dead.

I have purchased the mouse after reading the reviews and have the following comments:

- The weight is good, with a solid feel about it.

- The size is a tad small and I find that my hand is still resting on the mouse pad as opposed to being completed supported by the mouse. I don't have big hands either i.e., medium sized gloves fit me ok.

- Button feel on the left and right mouse buttons is the best I have come across. Tactile and responsive at the same time.

- DPI adjust buttons don't feel like they are in the right spot. The idea is good but I end up usually clicking the LMB at the same time.

- The forward/backward buttons seem too far forward but this could just be the way my hand is shaped.

- Scroll wheel has nice weighting and feel.

- I am unable to detect any lag of any sort when wireless.

- The on/off button is a good idea.

- Surface of the mouse feels good but am concerned that the surface coating will wear off in time.

- The LED's on the side is a good idea which I have used for checking which DPI setting I am on.

- The software that comes with it is not that hard to use. I am using version 1.07 and firmware 1.13 so maybe it has improved with the later releases.

- In-game performance is good and I forget I am using the mouse which is a good sign as it means that the mouse is doing its job and not fighting me. However I am not using the backward/forward buttons.

- Other reviews have mentioned that the USB lead is fiddly to plug into and out of the mouse but I have found it works well. You need to use the cable release button which is why some people may have had a problem.

Overall a good mouse. Was it worth the money?....not really. I suspect I can get a mouse at half the cost with pretty similar specs and performance. Time will tell on the longevity of the product and the cost will be forgiven if it lasts as long as I hope.

Thanks guys for the article/review and as a newbie to the site I hope I can add my 2 cents worth on product that you have reviewed that I have purchased and used.

the mamba is a great mouse just a bit overpriced tbh

can anyone suggest a gud wireless kb+gaming mouse which is cheap and will also last atleast about 4-5hr gaming?

Very nice review

I have this mouse and i have to say its the first mouse that is a *gaming mouse* ive had and it is not good

The drivers do not like windows vista or windows 7 (i think)

The mouse wheel makes all kinds of noise

I cant seem to pinpoint things im trying to click on anymore

In FPS games its REALLY bad

I do like it because its big and its fast

The one i have the side grips? or whatever are starting to come off sometimes when i touch them and it gets dirty alot

I even have the Razer Vespula that Razer says is the best pad for this mouse

On another note dont ever buy a vespula if you game alot because both sides of mine are were out and ive had this pad less then 6 months (and the wrist thing hurts your hand after sometime

Yeah there are a lot of complaints with the Vespula wristrest, since the material used to make the cover for it is extremely coarse or something. When it comes to the Mumba, are you using the latest drivers? Because mine doesn't have any of those problems, I guess it's just Razer quality control problem.

I dont even have the software for it installed i dont think because its kind of hard to get it installed i did have it installed on my old pc and it was the same as it is now

Well the drivers don't really make a difference as far as I know. As far as I'm concerned they just let you customize keybindings. It's the firmware that needs upgrading for actual mice problems, but the firmware update is a pain admittedly; since it does tend to fail randomly halfway through the install; atleast in my experience. Which causes the mouse to be locked out, and you need to pull it out and restart your computer before you can even attempt to begin another firmware upgrade. But upgrading might solve your issues.

Gd review mate

I was bought this mouse by my lovely girlfriend when it came out, and I've had no problems with it at all, no driver problems, no squeaking from the scroller and I find it more responsive compared to my old G5, and I'm a heavy fps gamer so I'm v.fussy about my mice.

I have that mouse! its awesome. had for like a year now and only the left rubber grip is "shiny" no wear anywhere else, i also changed the buttons by your thumb to change the DPI

i lurve Razer

i had a deathadder

better than any other i have had. well engineering and ergonomic. plus it matches my black and blue neon theme
