do you have a specific requirement for the wireless? i loved my old MX518 and currently Deathadder, both of which are excellent. unless you liek to spin round like a numpty you dont need 1120194582190481094821 dpi mice.

well for one i hate wired mouse, I've been stuck with a Microsoft laser keyboard/mouse combo for a while now, which work great, nut not sensitive for gaming, so i want something for gaming(mouse), i have the Razer Lachesis which is great, but i wish it was cordless, which is why i want the Mamba or the MS X8(but i heard it's big and heavy).....plus the Mamba is on amazon for $100 from $130 initial price when it was released.

so what do you guys think? i loved my Logitech wireless G7, but that thing had ridiculous battery, i literally had to charge it every 2 days.

2 days ? I used to have a wireless optical mouse that wouldn't even last 2 hours. Yeah, that made me switch back to wired mice permanently.
Doesn't the thing come with 2 easily switchable batteries though ?

yeah the second battery pack sucked too, it also only lasted for 2-3 days tops and died again! i loved that mouse, but the battery life killed it for me. i'm going to order the Mamba since amazon is selling it for $130 instead of the original price of $130.

if that doesn't work out well, i'll just stick to my MS mouse till something good comes out.

The Mamba is pretty much considered THE wireless mouse. 1ms, and it's Razer...

All the reviews I've seen, even video reviews said it was the best mouse they've ever used, wireless or not. Also, it's good to note that you can actually plug it in while you're using it, in case it's getting low and you don't have time to recharge it.

And besides that...best case EVER.
