Xerin, my thoughts exactly. Razer has (or had?) very poor QC with the BS line. I was hoping that the conventional design of the Mamba would make it easier for Razer to keep them in good condition.
I picked up a Logitech Optical Wheel Mouse this weekend and so far it's excellent. My previous mouse was a Logitech Wingman Gaming Mouse. It's a very good mouse as well. I just got extremely tired of having to clean it to keep it in optimal working condition for those competitive games in Q3 and CS. The sensitivity and tracking ability is on par with the BS, without any of the problems that the BS has. Not to mention the loads of cash less it cost than any BS.. it's a "second generation" optical mouse, which means "33% faster" and none of the skipping problem which optical mice are infamous for. I can rocketjump, and bust flickshots any time I want without nary a skip. I can't believe I didn't try an optical mouse sooner, cause this is the bomb. Smoove as silk, and I never have to clean it. One odd thing I did notice, is that when using it on the PS2 port, PS2Rate Plus reports that when set to 200hz, it's moving at 118avg. hz. When set to 100hz, it reported 88avg. hz. Hooking it up to the USB port made it consistently at 120hz. I guess maybe the PS2 port doesn't supply enough power to the mouse?
Anyways, I highly recommend a Logitech optical wheel mouse, or the other optical mouse they sell
