On February 1st 2009, Razer introduced the original Mamba gaming mouse and it took the PC gaming world by storm. The amazing success of that mouse was thanks in no small part to its wired and wireless abilities; however, its sensor, software suite and overall ergonomics are what made it a perennial favorite for many hard core gamers. Recently, Razer upgraded the Mamba with their latest 4G sensor technology. Today, I'm going to find out how good this new Mamba 4G gaming mouse stands up against some of today's cutting edge gaming mice.

Verdict:
With great ergonomics, decent weight to battery life ratio, dual wireless/wired abilities and other great features; the all new and improved Razer Mamba 4G is everything the original was and then some. The new 4G sensor really is a master piece of engineering and it alone makes the new Mamba a true successor to the original.

The Good:
+ Touchpad slides in for storage and safety
+ Secure rubberized surface
+ Lightweight
+ Part of Logitech's Unifying technology so only one receiver needed for up to 6 Logitech devices
+ No software need be installed
+ Multi-touch capable touchpad
+ Batteries included
+ Up to 6 months of battery life

The Bad:
- Base is a tad slippery
- Top rubber is a dust magnet
- Touchpad should be bigger than 5"
- Pull out tray does exhibit a lot of flex
