We like:
Wired and wireless usage modes; high polling rate ensures seamless wireless connection, even at high sensor resolutions; on-board memory lets you take your profiles and macros on the road
We don't like:
Very expensive; no on-the-fly macro recording; clunky USB cable is a hassle to plug into the mouse

The Razer Mamba provides unmatched precision, whether it's connected directly to your PC or set free in wireless mode, but, due to its cost, it's likely to appeal only to the most dedicated of gamers. If Razer fixed a few design and features issues, we'd feel better about the price
