So Razer's gone and made a new Mamba and it has many DPIs (16,000) and can be lit up with many colors (16.8 mil) as this is a chroma product.

Also Razer is doing the typical Razer thing and calling this "the world's most advanced gaming mouse" and claiming that it being able to go up to 16k DPI is a very good thing (I use my mouse at 2k dpi and that is higher than what most people use).

They also introduced this thing called "Adustable Click Force Techlology" which allows you to change how much force it takes to actuate the mouse button which is pretty cool but idk how many people will actually use this thing.

This mouse is also wireless and has a claimed response time of 1ms which is pretty cool and it charges with a micro USB cable. You can use the mouse while it is charging.

The lighting on this thing is pretty special though, with LED lighting on the scroll wheel, these weird side bar things as well as the Razer logo (that only lights up on the non-wireless championship model, the regular, wireless one's logo doesn't light up). There are 5 modes: Wave, Spectrum Cycling, Breathing, Static, or Reactive.

My opinion:

This thing looks interesting with all the lighting effects and the adjustable clicking force thing, but I really don't like the lighting bars on the side of this thing, as they make it look like some cheap gaming mouse fresh out of China. Also, the whole 16k DPI thing with it being adjustable by 1 DPI increments just seems insane, and unnecessary unless you like your DPI at 1738 exactly or need that high of a DPI to navigate your 3 8k displays without moving your wrist too much. The other main issue with this mouse will likely be the price. If my memory serves me right, the last Mamba sold for 129.99 which is already insane and I'd imagine that this thing will top that figure. Also I am concerned about the battery life though. It being so short means that people are more likely to leave it on the stand until they need to use it, which could lead to over charging and the thing requiring that you have it plugged in for it to function after maybe a year or 2 of use.

Finally a heavy mouse from Razer that isn't gonna be out As expensive as the Naga Epic.

Wow this will fit my RGB mousepad and RGB Casefans and RGB monitors!!!!

too bad this mouse is not fully ambidextrous

That's it! Razer really are the apple of the PC world. Effectively bringing something similar to force touch to a mouse, as well as calling it "the best ever."

16,000 dpi is bollocks. I use 950 on my G600 and I doubt I'd use any more than 1500 at the very most for the foreseeable future.

I use 800 dpi and it's great for me

Unless you've got a bunch of UHD monitors running, then I'm really struggling to see why companies keep making DPI higher and higher. Logitech ended it IMO with their mice that came out last year and the year before, with lower DPI but more accurate sensors, which is what is needed, especially more optical mice.

LOL, what's left to put RGB on?

[Janne]

i'm surprised at how popular razer products are... well i guess giving sponsorships to famous internet people make all the gaming kiddies wet

[Real_PhillBert]

Honestly I would be more interested in it if it didn't have any LED's.

 

My entire setup does not need to glow.

[duriel]

why would you pick this over the g402/g502

I'm cool with the scroll wheel or logo being RGB (my Naos 8200 has RGB LED's in those areas) as they are minimal and allow the mouse to look stealthy, but those lines on the side are ugly AF.

bad example mate, force touch is legitimately good. 

 

16,000 is way best ridiculous though.

Oh I know, I've tried it and think it's an awesome feature, especially being able to scroll through videos faster. I was just using it as an example that Apple bring out a cool feature, and a couple months later razer have something vaguely similar for the PC market.

ah okay. I think the RGB thing would be cool only if ALL of your gear was RGB. then it would still look cool for all of 5 minutes

[Nup]

Nice post! Thanks for sharing.

Yeah I'd really wish that the DPI race would die already. It's been way overdone for years now. Other then that the mouse seems somewhat unexceptional. Despite its features.

[XTankSlayerX]

ZOMG IT HAS 16K DPI.

 

I've literally have never used anything over 400DPI for a month now...

[slay english]

I'll stick with my zowie ec1 a.

[BuckGup]

Chroma Naga. Awful again Apple oh I mean Razer

I think I use 5600dpi when I'm in a vehicle for BF4, but thats about it. 16k? 

 

Maybe if you're gonna be #noscope360MLG or something...

Razer already has a chroma version of the Kraken and I wouldn't be surprised of they made chroma versions of their Siren and Leviathan. Also, it is a popular thing to stick RGB lights to the backs of monitors...
