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:
+ Comfortable yet elegant design
+ Wireless or Wired options
+ Compact USB transceiver
+ Great ergonomics
+ Refined and user friendly software
+ Wireless mode works just as good as wired
+ Battery can be charged while still in the mouse (just plug in the USB cable)

The Bad:
- Right Hand Only model (lefties need not apply)
- No weight customization
- Only one USB cable included
- Slow and cumbersome to change from wireless to wired mode
- Battery while better than original is still only good for up to 16hours
- Software needs work as it does crash from time to time
