The MAC Mamba, Mamba Range is an Australian two-seat light aircraft designed and built by the Melbourne Aircraft Corporation.[2]
The original and best-selling MambaLite was custom-made for MTC by Optisan, but with Optisan ceasing production in 2014 it left a hole in the MTC portfolio. Talking about the compatibility of the Razer Mamba Elite, it should work with Mac. However, since the Razer Mamba Elite is only compatible with Synapse 3, then the lighting effect and the side buttons will only show its default state and/or functions.

While it’s compatible with the Mac, as all USB mice are, up to now, Razer hasn’t offered Mac-specific software.

Design and development[edit]
The Mamba is a strut-braced, high-wing monoplane designed over two years and first flown on 25 January 1989. It has fixed tricycle landing gear and is powered by a 116 hp (87 kW) Lycoming O-235 flat-four piston engine. It has an enclosed glazed cabin with side-by-side configuration seating for two. The fuselage is constructed of welded steel tubing with stressed aluminum skin.[1] It was intended to introduce four-seat and military versions of the Mamba.[2]
The military version was built under contract by Australian Aircraft Industries as the AA-2S Mamba powered by an IO-360.[citation needed]
