Razer Mamba makes me want to kill myself
I own a Mamba TE 2015 and I'm writing here because ironically I didn't get any response on Razer Insider. It's 2.5 years old and it's dead. It's basically unusable, it freezes or it doesn't work up and down or doesn't work at all. If it works, it works by magic because I couldn't get it to work no matter what I do. It works if he feels like it you kno'. When it works I don't have a problem with it but if I - let's say - restart my pc, it won't work anymore. I love this mouse and It's frustrating to see it dying after 2 years. It's unfixable, it's dead, it's everything but not working properly. I can only use it to hang myself, other than that it's useless in this state.

I need advice on what new mouse I should buy and what type of sensors I should avoid. This one has a laser sensor and I heard they're pretty bad but I've also heard that some mices are really good and they have laser sensors. Someone told me that the Deathadder is pretty reliable. Anyway, I want to hear your thoughts and opinions, shout them out

The fact that you got two years out of a Razor product is impressive, their peripherals are notorious for breaking down and having a bad warranty. Consider something by a different brand like Corsair, Logitech, or SteelSeries since they make better quality peripherals.

Just curious how you used your mouse before it broke. Were you gaming 8 hours a day or something? I have a Deathadder about 2 years old now that is still flawless.

Like Cloudy mentioned, they do not make reliable products. Everything I've ever had from them has stopped working, which is weird as they're so simply made.
No other brand mouse has every went bad on me, and I've owned a lot of mice (been system building for 18 years now).
I'd just drop it in the trashcan and go with, basically, anyone else.
Generally, they wont' repair mice outside of warranties either (last I checked).

My first Razer Deathadder lasted 4ish years. I just replaced it with the Razer Elite Deathadder. My Razer Deathstalker keyboard was bought at the same time as the first Deathadder mouse and it's still fine.I just upgraded my Razer headset to a Kraken v2 because my computer gear changed and I wanted to use the cool gel ears that fits the Kraken. My old Razer Megalodon headset still works after about 5 years.
Though anything I bought from Logitech was crap. Switched to Razer. Not everyone has the same experience with the same brands.

I find the Deathadder mouse simple and comfortable. I have bigger hands (I can't use the normal size ones) and I like the comfort that this line of mouse provides.

Not to mention Razor is marketed to edgy teens that care more about a logo than durability.

I've heard many times that people weren't really satisfied with Razer products and I bought my first Razer product (which was a Blackwidow keyboard) with lots of doubts. It's almost 5 years old and it's going strong. Never had a problem with this keyboard, I really love it. Whereas the mouse... It's really a shame and I'm really disappointed with Razer for this. I simply wasn't expecting this from a mouse like this. I tried lots of mices, there was always a thing that wasn't right, like the precision, the way it fitted in my hand and so on. This one was really good, I've played lots of shooters with this mouse and I've never felt like it wasn't the right mouse for me. I liked the performance and the aesthetics too. Simply the best mouse for me though some might not agree with me, but it really suitted me. I'm really disappointed to see it breaking down despite the leds and the buttons are working just fine. Despite the fact that it was already hard for me to find a good mouse now I also have trust issues with new mices. I'll take a look at other brands to see what might be worth a shot. Thanks for your advices, I really appreciate it.

Well, to be honest, I was gaming quite a lot when I had some free time, mostly in weekends and holidays especially when I had late night sessions. I would game 5 hours during the day, then take care of real life stuff and then start the late night session, so I guess I was gaming around 10-13 hours sometimes. (Yeah I'm pretty much a no lifer). But during the week I was merely gaming for 2 hours a day, sometimes even 2 hours a week. So I didn't use it intensely every single day.
I heard that the Deathadder is pretty reliable, not many people complain it. Too bad I can't say the same about the Mamba. I hope it lasts you a lifetime, after what I've been through with this mouse, man, I hope nobody has to experience this.

In the end it is all up to you, and if you like it than it shouldn't matter what others think. Some people swear by Razor's products and thats fine, I just wouldn't choose them myself. For example my brother has a Razor keyboard and mouse that have been working perfect for 4 years, but than I have a friend of mine who's Razor mouse broke yesterday only after 2 years. I myself am currently using a Corsair Raptor M45 and have had no issues, aside from not having RGB LEDs and "only" having a DPI of 5000.

True that, everyone has a different experience with every brand. It's a matter of personal taste. As I said, my keyboard is almost 5 years old and it works just fine and my Kraken V1 it's also 3 years, almost 4 years old and works just fine. I replaced the earpads and the headband and that's it. This mouse was really nice, I was really satisfied with the perfomance and everything this mouse had to offer. It was like a perfect match, and now it's dead. Why? I can't tell. It's really a shame. At least if I could've get it repaired. I don't why every other product lasted so long and this one had to fail so soon.

I'm not getting offended if people hate Razer or anything, it's just a taste preference and everyone has different tastes. I'm very open to suggestions and opinions as long as they are constructive and not just some edgy comments buy this is not the case here, every single comments is very good and I appreciate all the help I got here.
Even I hate Razer a little bit now, when I think about the mouse.
It's just that it's very hard for me to let this mouse go since it really satisfied me - when it worked, that is...
I could very well buy another one, but I just wouldn't spend 100€ on a new one to have to buy another one after 2 years and so on. If they're not reliable it's not worth it and that's a shame. I'll look into other brands or buy another Razer mice that has a better reputation. Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it.

just a thought, but is your USB port working?

I was just thinking about that, that it might be something wrong with my USB ports. But they are working, at least from what I see. I tried every single USB port and it didn't work. I tried the mouse on my laptop and the same thing happened.
Now, as a fun fact: I've been trying to get it to work for 2 hours and I was almost going to kill myself and I was really pissed. A few times it froze, not working at all, a few other times it was jumping up down and acting weird and at last it was working but still acting a little weird. I opened chrome to file a support ticket at Razer but it prove a real pain in the ass to use the mouse so I turned on my laptop to file the ticket from it. After I was done I thought about connecting the mouse to the laptop again and guess what, it worked without any problem. I used it for 15 minutes on the settings that were saved on the mouse since I didnt have Synapse installed on my laptop. Then I decided to install Synapse to see if it's something wrong with Synapse. Nope, it still worked. Now I connected it to my PC, to the same USB port it was always connected to and it works. It works like a charm without any single issue.
I'm pretty sure this proves that there was nothing wrong with my PC and that there's also nothing wrong with the sensor. I think this is pretty much a software issue, more like with the firmware and that Razer is really lazy to fix this. I can't really understand why it works now, I litterally did nothing, I just unplugged it from my PC and plugged into my laptop and all of a sudden works.
You know what's the sad part? That tomorrow morning, when I'll turn on my PC, the mouse will act all weird again because this is always happening. So, as far as I can see, my USB ports are working as supposed. Never had a problem with anything connected to any USB port except for the mouse.

computers are so fickle. Had the same problem with my mouse, but it seemed to be the USB 2.0 ports on my computer case. Plugged it into the USB 3 port in the back of computer and it worked.

I have RAT 7 for 7 years. It is good mouse.

Yeah, I guess I should thoroughly inspect all the USB ports on my MB. Just to be sure

Yeah. If you take well care with mouse, it might work lasting forever. My older laptop is 17 years old, still working. My vintage stereo is 45 years old.
