Packaging
The mouse comes packaged in a very stylish display box which shows the Mamba off like a fine work of art. Razer have opted for a minimalist design allowing your eyes to be drawn straight to the Mamba itself.
On the back we have the technical specifications in the usual Razer-esque font along with a small description on how the mouse works which is accompanied by a diagram. If you look closely you can see how the mouse is mounted to the plastic stand.
Removing the cardboard cover we are greeted with a small black sheet that reads "Welcome to the Cult of Razer." I didn't know I was paying to become a member of a cult. Buy hey, I'm not complaining. With the plastic shroud removed (which proved to be a task in itself) it was apparent how beautiful the mouse looked on it's stand. Love at first sight.
The accessories came in separate slide out boxes with tabs to help pull them out. From left to right we have the gold plated USB cable which has been fully sleeved, the charging station and the battery along with a battery cover. In the forefront we have a small folder full of warranty information, a quick start guide and the usual bundled leaflets that no-one reads.

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.

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