The Razer Mamba Wireless is a great wireless gaming mouse that looks identical to the wired Razer Mamba Elite. The Mamba Wireless feels very comfortable and well-built and has a wide adjustable CPI range. It has low click latency when used wired or wirelessly via its USB receiver, and its built-in rechargeable battery means you don't need to worry about swapping out AA batteries. Unfortunately, it lacks the L/R tilt buttons on the mouse wheel that the Mamba Elite has, and it comes with Razer's older cable which is very stiff and rigid.

Logitech's G HUB software is also fully compatible with macOS, while Razer Synapse 3 is only compatible with Windows.
The Razer DeathAdder Elite and the Razer Mamba Wireless are both very good gaming mice.
