Razer Mamba 2015 mouse for office work?

[apathetica]

I've down my 3rd Logitech Anywhere MX in 3 years. Always the left click, terrible quality this build. Lucky bought them cheap. Not gonna try another Logitech.

Read these gaming mouse are better build and quality. Some are rated 20 million clicks. How about this new 2015 Mamba?

Some definite needed features are wireless, side forward and backwards and horizontal wheel scroll. May I have your thoughts?

The amount of rated clicks does not equate to the durability of the mouse.

You can say it can click 100 million times but at the end of the day, the switches inside could have worn off faster or got some other issues along the way.

Logitech, to me it is still the best one could get.

I'm using the g602 till now have not given any issues yet. It's wireless and have an extremely long battery life.

Believe it or not, but most of these mice uses the same type of omron switches. It all boils down to luck and to some extent, usage.

The omrons in my Logitech G100s were rated at 20M clicks, left click failed after less than a year.

I just re soldered a replacement from a donor mouse. Cost: $0

mamba battery bloat easily. but so far havent heard of explosions or fire

If you really want Omron switches that can be swapped out, try looking at Asus Gladius.

Here is a small review from me....

Its a little expensive, but inside has a few switches you can choose from.

 

[apathetica]

I should never say never. G602 looks cool too and cheaper at RSP $109. The buttons seems..alot though.

TBH i was quite upset at the the 3rd failure. It is definitely less than a year of use. Total cost in excess of $300 less than 3 years. Sigh. So I thought why not get a better mouse, if more expensive but can last longer? Sensei looks awesome but no horizon scroll.

Well, if most mice use the same Omron switch, then I suppose there isn't much hope for me

20M for a year?? 60M rated clicks mouse available, anyone?
Perhaps I can get someone to solder the switches? As in swap out the left with the right of the other faulty mouse? It is worth the effort?

One thing is for sure. If you are on wireless, the mamba won't last long before you need to charge again.

Ah...products with built in batteries. Bloating, leaking, dead batt. Yikes! My fears are kindled. I always have a fear of them breaking down and have to bin everything. Are the Mamba's user replaceable? The mouse stays in office so it can juice overnight.

Gladius would be nice! But it is wired. I've cut the cord..

I use mamba for work. Seems just nice batt life for office hours unless I OT.

Learn how to do it yourself, throwing out 3 $100 mice over 3 years is kinda .

Why do you keep buying the same model, I would avoid that model like plague if it failed under a year due to the switch wearing out unusually fast. The G100s is one of them.
