When the Razer Mamba was first uncovered I was impressed with how much care had gone into the presentation and packaging. First impressions are important, and Razer have achieved this right from the word go.

Taking the Mamba out of its luxurious packaging reveals a master class of production. As I’ve already said this mouse will bring you confidence by the way it looks, feels and operates. If you want the best mouse on the market, then this is surely it. What other high-end gaming mouse at the very peak of performance offers both wired and wireless capabilities in one?

The above taken into account, it comes as a disappointment that the end product appears on the shelf at a hefty $129.99 (Razer) / £120 / €139. Sure enough prices are dropping but can the average gamer afford such a luxury? This is over double the amount that a high-end laser/optical mouse would cost on the market and for most owning the Razer Mamba will remain a fantasy rather than a reality.

UPDATE: Novatech has just lowered their prices on the Razer Mamber to £68!! ***Lowest Price in the UK - Razer Mamba Wireless Gaming Mouse!!*** - Novatech Community Forums! This obviously alters the value of the Mamba making it a more favourable buy.
