Unlike the results we can typically obtain from testing a graphics card of processor, the testing of mice yield completely different results. Whilst we can clearly see performance results with these components with mice, it is a totally different kettle of fish. The results of testing are personal to the user, so this stage is quite difficult to ascertain but the overall opinion of the mouse should help to determine if the Mamba is a winner.

So to test the Razer Mamba I will be releasing it in its natural surrounds by using it in some intense gaming sessions. As with other mouse reviews, the games selected will be within different genres so that the assumptions gained are fair. I will be testing the Mamba in both wired and wireless modes during 30 minutes of gameplay within each game.

I will also be testing the mouse out with a simple task inside Adobe Photoshop.

The games I will be testing with the Razer Mamba are:

Unreal Tournament 3
Prince Of Persia
War Hammer 40,000: Dawn of War II

Results

I was impressed with the Mamba’s performance both wired and wireless. Between these two modes there was almost no difference at all. When you handle the Mamba you can instantly recognize that you are dealing with a premium products. It feels expensive, it oozes confidence. Without sounding too enthusiastic, this is one of the best mice I have ever used. It looks feels and moves unlike anything I’ve used in the past.

All three of the games partnered with the Mamba brilliantly. In particular the first-person shooter – Unreal Tournament 3 felt very smooth. This is the gamer’s tool. Joining online game servers, I sprinted round feeling ultra confident – with this, I played better. Overall in the gaming department the Razer Mamba is winning solution and it may even boost you to gaming stardom in the not too distant future!

For the Adobe Photoshop test, I cut-out an image using the lasso tool. No problems experienced here, there was plenty of traction to prevent any annoying slip-ups. So this should also aid any graphical work or general usage that someone might have outside of their gaming hobbies.
