Whether or not they are supposed to, they will do it quite consistently. I theorize that rather than admitting they can't afford the product and therefore can't have one, it's less damaging to the ego to criticize the product and make it seem as if they choose not to buy one. Therefore, rather than reading the words they write, all I see is, "I can't have one, so I'm going to bash it instead!"
You would think that this would tend to be more common among children than adults, but it can actually be observed frequently among people of any age. I've done it, as well. Those darn Bugattis just aren't worth the price. I'd never buy one! ;)
Anyway... I've owned a Naga Epic for several months now. It was my most recent mouse purchase, in fact, until I bought a Mamba (the last-gen version with the 3.5G laser module) just yesterday. I wanted something as good as the Naga, but a little larger to better fit my hand, and I haven't grown to "need" the Naga's twelve thumb buttons as much as I had expected. After having used dozens of different gaming mice over the past several years, the Razer Naga has been my favorite yet.
I should receive my Mamba this Thursday. If it's anywhere near as great as the Naga in design and build quality, then I'll be quite thrilled with it. I can't wait! :D
Well, after spending two months with it, I can credibly say that I don't like the Mamba much at all. The Synapse feature is extremely S-L-O-W, and unfortunately there's no way to turn it off. The "Mamba Configurator" interface is much less refined than the ones for my Naga Epic and Black Widow Ultimate - almost like it's an "unfinished" version. The only way to save settings in the configurator is to repeatedly apply them several times.
It's difficult to avoid accidently pressing either of the two sensitivity adjustment buttons next to button #1, so while gaming, I'm having my mouse's sensitivity jump up and down. Very annoying. And in an FPS, deadly. I may have eventually avoided this issue if I had used the Mamba longer and had become more accustomed to it. But I consider two months to be quite long enough for a reasonable test.
And the biggest issue: Not only is the mouse less comfortable than I had anticipated, but my hand actually gets cramps after using it more than a few minutes. Everything else is quite objective, but the comfort and sensitivity button issues may only relate to me. I not only have larger than average hands, but consider that no two people's hands are alike. Some people may find the Mamba very comfortable, and others may not.
There are some other issues I have with the Mamba, but I can't remember them all at this moment. The materials and build quality of the Mamba are just as fine as those of my Naga, but it has several design shortcomings that leave it in the dust behind the Naga. And also, over the past two months, I've become very accustomed to the 12-button Naga keypad. It has become like an extension of my hand.
I've used dozens of recently released high-end gaming mice from Logitech, Madcatz/Saitek, Razer, MS, SteelSeries, and others, and as yet, none measure up to my Razer Naga.

ReplyCheapest I can see it for new is £94-ish from Play (with Quidco).
