Cons:	See below

I got the Razer Mamba the other day. I was wireless mouse naysayer until I got the Mamba. I thought since it had the wired/wireless connections, I could just use it wired if I didn't like the wireless connection. The Razer Mamba's wired connector is much better then the Sidewinder X8 magnet connector. The Mamba's USB connector locks into place and connects to a mini USB port under the scroll wheel. So that why I chose the Razer Mamba over the Sidewinder X8. Well anyways, I have to say the wireless is so fast I can't tell it's wireless. I plugged the wired connection, and could not tell the difference. Now most of the time, really all of it, I use the wireless connection. The Razer Mamba is a great mouse that has some minor bugs to big worked out.

Pros:
• The best feeling mouse I have ever felt.
• So fast you can't tell it's wireless.
• Great wired connection design.
• You can turn all the lights off, for a all black mouse.
• Scroll wheel middle click is really easy to click and scroll with.
• The overall design is beautiful.

Cons:
• Its does not work well on soft of cloth surfaces.
• Some of them jitter.
• It could pick up some vibrations.
• Even with the newest driver/firmware its still has minor bugs to big worked out.

Pros:	Great Responsiveness wired or wirless
Cons:	Needs updates out of the box

The Razor Mamba. Personally I have been a big fan of razor peripherals for a long time. The Mamba shows that razor does know what most gamers want. In this case its a great wireless gaming mouse. Most gamers would agree that nothing is more groan inducing that having to change out batteries in the middle of a frag fest. Razer gets around this by allowing the Mamba to function in a wired mode by simply moving the usb mini-b cable from the wireless receiver/dock in a matter of seconds you up and running again. And from what i can tell the mouse is just as responsive when being used wireless as it is when its directly connected.

Pros

Responsive Wirless or Wired
On the fly DPI change
Comfortable
7 customizable buttons
Anti-Slip coating

Cons

Pricey
Not 100% usable out of the box
NOT ambidextrous
weight not adjustable
only comes in blue :-p
