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.

Our Verdict

0.0
Office/Multimedia 

The Razer Mamba Wireless is a great mouse for office use. It's very comfortable to use for long periods and has two additional side buttons that can be reprogrammed within Razer's Synapse 3 software. It can be used wired or wirelessly and has a built-in battery that can be recharged via USB. All hand sizes should have no problems reaching all the buttons with a palm grip, and only small hands will have difficulty when using a claw grip.

Pros
  • Very comfortable and well-built.
  • Can be used wired or wirelessly.
  • Slightly slanted ergonomic design.
  • Versatile design.
Cons
  • Only partially compatible with macOS.
  • No horizontal scroll or L/R tilt buttons.

Video Games (FPS) 

The Razer Mamba Wireless is a very good FPS gaming mouse. It's not too heavy when used without a wire, and has low latency and wide adjustable CPI range. It's suitable for all hand sizes with a palm grip, and only those with small hands will have a difficult time with a claw grip.

Pros
  • Very comfortable and well-built.
  • Wide adjustable CPI range.
  • Versatile design.
Cons
  • Stiff and rigid cable.

Video Games (MMO) 

The Razer Mamba Wireless is a great mouse for MMO gaming, though it doesn't have nearly as many programmable side buttons as dedicated MMO mice. That being said, all of its buttons can be reprogrammed, and it has a profile switching button on the bottom of the mouse. It's very comfortable to use with a palm grip for all hand sizes, and it has low click latency and excellent sensor performance.

Pros
  • Very comfortable and well-built.
  • Wide adjustable CPI range.
  • Versatile design.
Cons
  • Not as many programmable side buttons as dedicated MMO mice.
0.0
Ultra-Light Gaming 

The Razer Mamba Wireless isn't recommended for fans of ultra-light gaming. While it isn't too heavy when used wirelessly, it isn't nearly as light-weight as dedicated ultra-light mice with a honeycomb design.

Pros
  • Very comfortable and well-built.
  • Wide adjustable CPI range.
  • Versatile design.
Cons
  • Not as light-weight as dedicated ultra-light gaming mice.
  • Stiff and rigid cable.
0.0
Travel 

The Razer Mamba Wireless is decent for travel. It can be used wirelessly, making it easier to use in tight spaces, like on a plane or bus, and if your battery runs out you can also use it wired, which is great. That being said, it's a fairly large mouse that likely won't fit into most smaller laptop cases.

Pros
  • Very comfortable and well-built.
  • Can be used wired or wirelessly.
  • Versatile design.
Cons
  • Fairly bulky design may not fit in all laptop bags.
  • Only partially compatible with macOS.

    Popular Mouse Comparisons

    The Razer Mamba Wireless is a very good wireless gaming mouse that looks identical to the wired Razer Mamba Elite. It also performs very similarly to the Mamba Elite, but lacks the L/R tilt buttons, giving it less programmable buttons overall. Check out our recommendations for the best wireless mice, the best gaming mice, and the best wireless gaming mice.

    Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed

    Track

    The Razer Mamba Wireless is a better wireless gaming mouse than the Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed. You can use the Mamba wired or wirelessly, while the X is only wireless. The Mamba also uses rechargeable batteries as opposed to AA's like the X. On the other hand, you can use the X via Bluetooth, which is great if you often use it with a laptop and don't want to use a USB receiver. The X is also suitable for every grip type with almost any hand size, while you can't use the Mamba with a fingertip grip.

    Razer DeathAdder Elite

    Track

    The Razer DeathAdder Elite and the Razer Mamba Wireless are both very good gaming mice. The Mamba doesn't require a cable but still has lower click latency than the Elite, even when used with its USB receiver. The Mamba also has onboard memory to save your settings to the mouse. Both mice perform very similarly, but the Elite's CPI can be adjusted by increments of 1, allowing you to fine-tune it to your preferences.

    Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED

    Track

    The Razer Mamba Wireless is a slightly better FPS gaming mouse than the Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED. The Razer feels better built and more comfortable, especially for fans of palm grip. It can be used wired or wirelessly, unlike the Logitech, which is wireless-only. Finally, the Razer has a higher max CPI and more programmable buttons. On the other hand, the Logitech is better suited for a fingertip grip, has slightly lower click latency, and a lower lift-off distance. Logitech's G HUB software is also fully compatible with Windows and macOS, while Razer Synapse 3 is only compatible with Windows.

    Razer Viper

    Track

    The Razer Viper performs a bit better for gaming than the Razer Mamba Wireless, but the Mamba is more versatile as it can be used wired or wirelessly with its USB receiver. The Viper is significantly lighter, and it feels better-built and more comfortable overall. It also features an ambidextrous design with two side buttons on each side. On the other hand, the Mamba has a right-handed design that's well-suited for any hand size using a palm grip. It also comes with onboard memory, which is great if you plan on using it with different devices.
