The mouse is really easy to use, the battery life is amazing. If the mouse runs out of charge is extremely easy to switch the the wired option even mid game.
I like how the mouse has 2 extra buttons on each side, good for certain games
The best mouse I had in my life. The battery is amazing, I played Diablo 4 continuously for 6 hours and the battery was still at 85%. You can use it wired as well which is a great property. Its weight is balanced and the grip is amazing, highly recommend it to any gamers
For the price it is, id expected something like a charging dock, However after using it, the mouse is snappy, stupidly fast DPI (you can change this down to much lower settings) the mouse just feels AMAZING it IS light though so i may have to do something to make it feel a little bit heavier, but if you are gaming, this mouse will HELP … i’ve only had it a day so far, it charges real quick and the distance from WIFI to MOUSE is fairly extensive! one thing i would say the price is i think is a little bloated for what it is….. the 1MS delay in moving is, to be fair not noticable at all to me. then again im not a very good gamer anyways.
I would say tho, BUY this if you need speed, accuracy, light weight and no wires! – dont buy cheap you dont know how the wifi delay will get you in those cruicial frames!
ALSO did i mention it has the option to use 1Khz Polling times, you get 125, 500 and 1Khz.. keep to 1000khz for gaming, 125 if you dont mind the slight delay for general office work but it does save some battery time
I’ve used a lot of mice in the past. But razer has hit the sweet spot with this mouse. Best wireless tech (right now), accurate sensor and overall a great mouse shape for medium/small mice. Perfect for those who want to claw grip
Ich hatte davor das Vorgngermodell (Razer Viper Ultimate) und habe mich nach 2 Jahre Nutzung fr diese Maus entschieden. Wie auch schon beim anderen Modell ist die Qualitt top und der Treiber der Maus funktioniert sehr gut. Kurzzeitig habe ich ein Modell von Glorious probiert, war aber nicht mit der Qualitt der Tasten sowie des Treibers (funktionierte nie) zufrieden. Auerdem ist die Akkulaufzeit der Razer Viper V2 Pro unglaublich, ein deutliches Upgrade zum Vorgngermodell.
Fazit: sehr gute Maus, wahrscheinlich die Beste am Markt, jedoch etwas teue
Mouse is well built, no rattle noise, all buttons are precise and you can get proper feedback, full control. Only downside is ergonomics wise. Even though I’m claw grip user, I find it somehow difficult to hold it without grips, but with grips everything is much better. It’s like workaround with grips regarding the hand holding. Hyper car among the mice.
Super light & quick, battery life is amazing. I don’t really like extra buttons on my mice so this one was perfect for me.
Habe die Viper v2 Pro jetzt seit einer Woche ca im Gebrauch!
Sie ist der Tausch von Logitech Superlight. Alle meine Muse kamen bisher aus dem Hause Logitech und ich wollte mit der Viper jetzt ein anderes Haus testen.
Zwei wesentliche Punkte warum ich gewechselt bin:
– Verarbeitung und Feedback der Daumentasten
Fazit der Viper v2 Pro:
– Verarbeitung deutlich besser
– Daumen ein besseres Feedback (nicht wie gewnscht, aber besser)
-Software recht bersichtlich wie bei Logitech
– gleitet aus meiner Sicht besser
– ohne Grip Tape guten Grip
Im groen und ganzen war der Kauf eine Verbesserung zu Superligh
Melhor mouse que ja usei . Muito leve . Os switches so bem tteis com excelente tempo de resposta. Sem dvida vai ajudar muito para que gosta de movimentos rpidos
Il mouse arriva con in confezione:
– Dongle USB-A a USB-C, con USB 2.4GHz
– Set sticker per aumentare il grip del mouse (ha gi di suo un buon grip)
– Cavo Usb-a a Usb-c per la ricarica/collegamento
Dopo un mese di utilizzo per giochi FPS posso dire che PERSONALMENTE parlando i 55 grammi danno una grande mano, anche perch ti permette di stancare molto meno la mano.
Nell’utilizzo quotidiano ovviamente funziona perfettamente.
L’unico neo secondo me rimane Razer Synapse, un software esageratamente pesante e lento, troppe funzionalit e senza di esso non si possono ne modificare i DPI ne regolare la distanza di attivazione del mouse (quando il mouse si avvicina ad una superficie).
Was amazed by this but I’m sure physiological make ups can change this opinion dependant on hand size. Got to say though just ‘Wow!’ Fits my hand perfectly and the lightness of it is unreal, it’s literally like holding a feather. I’m an older gen gamer who has recently dipped back into playing so
I’m sure our younger models may have their own opinion. Overall though very happy and makes the eye watering price well worth it. Comes with lots I don’t even understand but its versatility is there to see. Son was jealous so I guess that’s a plus.
souris qui vient en remplacement de ma viper mini dont j’tais plus que satisfait. j’ai longuement hsiter mais je ne regrette pas mon achat le sans file est une vrai libert et je trouve ma souris nettement plus prcise que ma prcdentes. niveau autonomie on est vraiment bien 1 fois par semaine pour une charge trs rapide. les grippes fourni avec sont trs utile et je trouve que la prise en main est meilleur.
Bin 5. Jahre Nutzer einer Mamba Elite gewesen und wollte auch mal den Sprung auf die “Wireless-Muse” machen. Zwischen DA V3 und Viper V2 Pro fiel die Entscheidung nicht leicht. Letztendlich fr die V2 Pro entschieden. Maus angekommen – sehr einfach gekoppelt, dazu eine erstaunlich leichte Maus (kein Vergleich zur Mamba Elite). Fhlt sich sehr smooth & przise an. Empfehlenswert bis jetzt.
Got this mouse to replace my cooler master mm711 as the clicks were beginning to stick on it.
Fits very similar to it and that’s a good thing for me
Feels smoother as well. Might consider getting glass feet for it.
Razer Synapse had to be downloaded to set up the profiles, I just set all of mine to the one sensitivity I use.
I have only used it in wired mode as the corded cable is nice and light.
No issues overall. Not the best bang for the buck, but the only mouse I could find with a similar shape to my old one, and I dont regret buying i
I owned the Razer Viper 8k before this, decided it was time to upgrade and it was worth it.
Only had this mouse for a day, but it feels incredibly comfy to use and is super lightweight. I’ve always been a fan of Razer products, but this has been the best I have owned so far!
I also found out this problem about 3 months after I used and then call Amazon to ask for a replacement.
Today I received the item, I set it up again and realized that that charging station and the charge cable are connected using Micro-USB head. Yes, if you accidentially pull the station, there is a small change that the micro-USB might disconnected from the charging station. I always thought the charging station and the cable are stick together , they are NOT. So yes, it can loose. Just plug in. Many didn’t realize this power cable is detachable after few months or few weeks of setting up.
So if you found out that your docking station not charging your mouse,please check the attached picture for connection. Problem solved!
I bought this start of 2020, and at the time it was amazing. Battery life close to 70 hrs as I didn’t use any rgb and the charging dock made recharging hassle free. I like the grip, the side buttons are well placed too for easy access and I hardly ever had accidental clicks on side buttons.
Last year the charging dock started acting up. I have to place it perfectly in a specific spot for it to start charging otherwise it won’t charge. It is also significantly slower than before, so I usually find myself just using the cable and go back to using wireless instead of sitting and waiting for the dock to finish charging. Battery life also went down a bit but honestly over 3 years I feel like it’s going strong still. Probably getting 40-50 hrs out of it still.
Past three months things are worse though. When connected to my laptop, the mouse produces a weird radio sound whenever I move the mouse. It only happens with the laptop so I can’t directly fault the mouse, could be the laptop itself. The worst issue is that it now stops tracking my movements out of nowhere (I don’t hear the usb connect/disconnect sound so it seems like a sensor issue more than connectivity) for a good 2-3 seconds before start working again. It happens 2-3 times in a 2 hour gaming session.
I don’t think I can recommend getting this mouse in 2023, unless it costs like 50-60 as it’s probably 4 or more years old at this point. I will get the v2 pro once my mouse dies completely.
los materiales de construccin son muy muy buenos al tacto no es liso como por ejemplo el G pro x que tambin lo tengo , lo cual a mi gusto personal hace que sea mas cmodo despus de un buen rato dndole al vicio .
los clicks son consistentes y tienen muy buen tacto .y sonido
los pies o skates son muy muy buenos se deslizan que da gusto por mi alfombrilla de tela los de otros ratones de la competencia son claramente peores que estos por ejemplo los del g pro x los cambie a la semana de llegarme.
el software de razer es facil de usar y los ajustes son sencillos en mi caso siempre uso 700DPI en los juegos y 2000 en Windows .
el tanto el cable como el extensor que te vienen de muy buena calidad el cable es de paracord super flexible aunque puedes cargarlo con cualquier cable USB C y un cargador de telfono , como hago yo
La duracin de la batera es una pasada con mi uso y alternando DPI y siempre en 1000 HZ de poling rate me viene durando algo mas de dos semanas
el tipo de agarre en mi caso es tipo garra , no lo recomiendo para palm grip salvo que tu mano sea mediana tirando a pequea
si dudas ente este o el viper ultimate o este sobre todo si eres diestro ve a por este ya que los ratones con goma en los laterales tienden a envejecer mucho peor , si te falta grip en la caja hay unas pegatinas para ponrselas y mejorar en ese aspecto.
La unica pega que le puedo poner es que el boton de los cambios de DPI esta en la parte inferior haciendo mas ”incomodo” su cambio tampoco es un gran problema ya que yo almenos cambio los dpi una vez al entrar a jugar y una vez al sali
I recently came from a larger & heavier mouse. Starting off with the good, This improved quality of experience for my gaming/working/3d design/general browsing since my wrist and forearms would be fatigued after hours of use from the older mouse. Even though the shape of this mouse is ambidextrous and not ergonomic, It is still incredibly comfortable to hold and use for hours on end since it’s also 60ish grams, my pinky finger is also not feeling strained where this wouldn’t be the case with some certain ergo mice. My flicks in games are also consistent due to the shape and feeling of the mouse
The only slight complaint I have is that if I recall correctly, the DPI switch button is kind of uncomfortable to reach sometimes, maybe thats due to my grip of the mouse.
Other than that, this is a solid mouse, and it is worth your money.
Very comfortable fit for left handers and all buttons are very responsive with a great tactile feel when pressed.
The feet glide like it is on ice and the cable is so flexible you can use it as a wired mouse without ever knowing it is tethered to your computer.
Have no applied the additional grip tape but like that it is supplied as an option rather than preinstalled.
Highly recommend this mouse for sure.
I had no expectations when I bought it but this mouse become my favorite. Easy to use, light weight, fast and precise. You can use it while charging, which is a big plus.
Using a palm grip I’ve had no issues, it’s incredibly comfortable to use for long periods of time with both hands. As far as mice go, I was a Logitech user for 5 years with my previous two mice being G703s, and I can confidently say that I much prefer the Razer Viper Ultimate. I can’t say if I’ll ever fully buy into the Razer ecosystem, but I won’t be changing mice anytime soon.
Pros:
– Extremely comfortable for ambidextrous use
– Long battery life. I exclusively use the mouse wireless and for 8+ hours at a time, yet it has never died on me. When I do charge it, it charges to full much quicker than previous mice I’ve used.
– Grippy material on the side of the mouse
– Docking station is perfect. Charges quickly and looks great.
Cons:
– The matte finish has worn on the left click, leaving a slightly shiny smooth spot. This has not affected my overall opinion, as I’m used to using mice with smooth finishes anyway.
– I would prefer if the side buttons were slightly larger. Coming from a G703, the smaller buttons took a bit of getting used to.
Review after over 3 months of use.
Previously, I’ve been using the Viper mini, oddly enough, this mouse is even lighter despite being bigger and having a battery.
The sensor is basically flawless, almost all high end sensors are nowadays.
All buttons feel responsive and I feel it’s easy to rapidly left click.
The texture and feel of the mouse in the hand is really good, never felt it slipping or anything, which shouldn’t have ever been an issue with how light the mouse is.
The battery life quite good, I never remember having issues with it, I just have to use it plugged in for a little bit every now and then.
There’s no RGB, which some people may dislike, but I’d happily take no lighting in order to save weight on the mouse, if you’d rather have RGB, get the Viper Ultimate.
This mouse is my first wireless mouse. I bought it mainly for FPS and MOBA games, far exceeding my expectations. Every design element fits my needs perfectly, and the mouse is speedy and precise.
The packaging is very high-end and gives a premium unboxing experience. Inside the box, you will find the mouse and docking station held firmly in place by a foam cushion. Underneath the foam, you will find the cable, manual and some stickers.
The build quality is phenomenal. The mouse buttons have a very comfortable indent, and the scroll wheel feels tactile. The side buttons are great because it’s difficult to hit them accidentally while being very easy to click when intended. This is useful because if you use the right side ones for gaming, the other side can be mapped to things like mute discord. The dock is sleek and compact, so it is easy to find a place for it on any desk.
The mouse is very light and easy to grip, so it’s easy to pick it up during a long turn. You can also adjust the height you need to lift a mouse before it registers movement.
The performance boost from using a wireless mouse has been drastic for me. I’m very pleased.
PROS:
+8k! Yes, that is 0.125ms response time. Although, to take advantage of the polling rate you kinda need to have a good PC and monitor
+perfect sensor
+well balanced
+excellent grip due to both the shape and the rubberised sides
+true ambidextrous (butons on both sides)
+optical main switches (no more double-click issues)
+nice cable
+familiar safe-ish shape
CONS:
-M1 & M2 feel and sound really hollow
-the side buttons are not very easy to press (however this can also be good as the same stands for the buttons on the opposite side that you don’t want to press accidentally)
-the surface of the mouse could be better. It is not terrible but there are way nicer coated mice out there (zowie, GPX Superlight etc)
-Cannot be managed by synapse 2. You have to download synapse 3 to configure the Viper as with all new Razer products.
In conclusion this is a mouse that you are buying mainly for fps games. Its balance-shape-weight combo is good enough on its own. The addition of the excellent sensor and the optical switches makes it a top choice. Add to that the fact that the shell has no holes (very positive imo) and you have a classic. Future-proof too, cause of the 8Khz polling rate (although I think it’s overkill for now).
Unfortunatelly, I had to return it because I simply could not stand the feel and, mainly, sound of the switches, which to be fair you do not notice in-game. Buy it without second thought if it’s on sale.
It arrives in the branded box shown and on removing from the box your meet with a well made (as expected) mouse and docking station,
Docking station is well made and the wire is woven material and is well made, the dock is lightweight nice shape, the bottom of the dock has rubber bottom this is great as it stops it sliding all over the desk, inside the dock is the space where you plug in the 2,4hz dongle if your using the dock (the dongle is stored in the underneath of the mouse.
The mouse is impressive its lightweight and is simple perfect in my hand is small than my Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed which is the main reason i choose it. The optical sensor is amazing it boasts a tracking speed of up to 650 IPS (inches per second) which for me when im gaming is perfect, and when used with the right mouse Matt (see my other reviews) is gaming changing, The Viper Ultimate is also loaded with Razer’s HyperSpeed Wireless transmission tech, which in essence gives it the same latencies as a wired version. This mouse is an ambidextrous mouse, and you switch the left and right click commands with a simple toggle in Razer Synapse (Software) The mouse only has two programmable buttons on each side, one set for right-handers, one for left-handers, plus a click-in scroll wheel, which for gamers mmmmm.
The battery life is really great and will last for long periods (Razer claim 70 hours) but I don’t think i will be playing that long straight through ( mmmmm or will i new call of duty on the horizon )
I have now been using for a few months, playing Warzone, MSFS, and Hell let Loose and it still feels as good and responsive as the day i got it.
Very happy and happy to recommend
Let me start by comparing this to the Razor Deathadder. The Deathadder is incredibly comfortable to hold, with well placed buttons. The problem the deathadder has is the reliability. All mouses that seem to shield 1 sheet of plastic from the base down to the mouse buttons on the front seem to suffer from double-clicking, or not clicking, or something wrong with the buttons on the front over time. If you go back 20 years you will find mouse’s were designed with separated sheets of plastic for both the left and right buttons, and these mouses lasted for decades, literally (examples were the intelli mouse explorer 3, and the Microsoft 3-Button optical mouse). So I’m glad to see the separated front mouse buttons.
This mouse is also far better than the Logitech G703 for gaming. The G703 suffers from being excessively tall, causing you to arch your palm over the mouse in order for it to feel comfortable. The problem with an arched hand is that your precision on aiming is diminished, and the side-buttons are more awkward to use quickly. The base of your hand needs to sit on the pad, with your fingertips on the buttons ready to go to react as accurately and quickly as possible (something I couldn’t achieve with the G703, but can with this mouse). As a past pro-level CS1.6 player, and a excessive CSGO player, I’ve gone through more than my fair share of mouses so I hope that adds some merit to the review.
I still have very small gripes with the mouse in that it is slightly too light and the up-scroll is noisy. The RGB lighting on the docking station is also too bright. However these are very minor, and I’m not knocking any points off for those, because the functionality, comfort ability, and the design is very good.
I’m someone that uses fingertip grip all the time, even just for general web browsing so wanted a symmetrical mouse that wasn’t too tall. The Viper Ultimate fit that requirement perfectly. I was put off by all the reports of Logitech mice double clicking after a while, so I was attracted by the optical switches used by Razer, as these should be immune to double clicking. The buttons themselves are very tacticle and give satisfying feedback. The build quality is excellent with nice feeling rubber grips in the sides. I did have some concerns based on some other reviews and I’ll comment on those.
Some reviews say the side buttons are too flush with the mouse and hard to press. It is true that they are more flush than other mice out there, but personally I found them very easy to press. My thumb sits perfectly below them and I’ve never missed them when trying to click.
Some reviews say it’s too easy to accidentally hit the right side buttons. I haven’t found this at all. I’ve never hit them by mistake. If this does happen, there is the option to disable them in the software.
Some reviews say the charging port stopped working. I’ve only had the mouse for a few weeks so far but I’ve not had any issues with it. It’s a very convenient solution to keep the mouse charged.
As for battery life, if I let it run to zero it would probably last a week of use for a few hours of mixed web browsing and gaming each evening. But the charging dock makes it so convenient to just top it up bit by bit every couple of days.
I find the software very simple to use, although you do need to sign in to use it, which some people might not like. The bright side is that it stores your settings to a cloud so when I upgraded my PC it restored all my settings immediately after signing in again.
I’ve used this mouse for 6 months now and am pleased with my decision to buy a premium mouse after usually buying cheap models in the past. Most importantly for me the mouse is very comfortable to use with my left hand, the default button layout works well for me but they can be re programmed if necessary and the accuracy of the mouse for gaming and work is excellent. The design with the light up logo is sleek but the light can be turned off for more battery.
The customer experience from Razer is infinitely better than the other premium brand I tried before settling on this mouse, the software is easy to use and the warranty information is clear (though I have no t had any cause to use it).
Battery life is good with one charge easily lasting 4-5 days of heavy use with gaming and work related use and that is with the logo lit up and the mouse being left on all the time and left to go to sleep on its own. I have found that the mouse will charge fully on the dock in a couple of hours but will have enough charge to use immediately in about 20 minuets, if the mouse does happen to be completely flat then you can just take the wire out of the dock and plug it directly into the mouse though I have never had to do so.
The only reason I have rated it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the ridiculous proprietary moulding on the otherwise standard micro USB wire used to connect the dock to the PC or the mouse to the PC, this means that if you need a new wire you have to buy one from Razer instead of buying a generic micro USB cheaply elsewhere as a normal wire will not fit. The other downside is the integrated battery meaning that when it does degrade with time then it cannot be replaced and the whole mouse is reduced to wired only. Neither of these points have impacted me in the 6 months I have used the mouse so far.
I bought this mouse to add to my growing collection of PC accessories, I now own 8 different mice which I use for different purposes. The lightweight mice I own now are the MM711, the Model O minus and now this. The Viper Mini has very quickly become my favourite lightweight mouse to use, so much so that I use it for practically everything; gaming of all genres as well as other multimedia and productivity purposes. The only time I will swap it out is for hardcore MMO gaming (when I will switch to my Naga) but if I am playing casually I usually just use the Viper Mini as I love how light it is. It feels very nice and smooth, it is perfect for my smaller hands and yet still feels very robust. I like that unlike most other lightweight mice, it does not have lots of little holes in it to bring the weight down. It’s remarkable it is as light as it is without them. It is a very stylish mouse and the RGB is fantastic. I am enjoying it so much so, that I am considering giving the Viper Ultimate a try, although I do typically prefer a wired mouse. It would be interesting to see if Razer decided to release a Viper Ultimate Mini for those who prefer slightly smaller mice, although I understand this might be a challenge what with all the additional components required for the wireless mouse.
All in all a fantastic piece of kit and I honestly couldn’t pick a fault with it. The fact it was almost half the price if my other two lightweight mice is honestly astonishing, I would gladly pay the same or more for this mouse. I do like my Model O minus and my MM711 still but I might give one away to a friend or something (probably the MM711 as that is my least favourite) because honestly I doubt I will find myself using another lightweight mouse.
I bought the mouse as a replacement for a DeathAdder Elite, so that one will be used as a comparison.
The Viper Ultimate is smaller and feels a little bit uncomfortable in the palm in the beginning, but it’s not that bad. Eventually I got used to it.
Battery life is OK. With the RGB off and 3 minutes standby time in Windows, I get 5 days of use with 7-8 hours a day.
Haven’t fully tested the battery with RGB on all the time, but with the RGB set at 50% luminosity on a static colour, it would use something like 5%/hour.
It has four side buttons, two on each side. Due to the design and shape, when squeezing the mouse I sometimes press the buttons on the right side. This can be fixed through Razer’s software by deactivating the buttons on the right side in games etc.
Software-wise you’ll have to use Synapse 3.
It’s easy to use, but the only glitch that I’ve encountered so far in several versions of Synapse was the inability of the software to sync local profiles with the cloud.
I have two users of my PC and after switching between them, Synapse will give an error about settings conflict (local vs cloud, which one you want to use).
The workaround for this problem is disabling the use of Synapse for one of the Windows users.
Build quality is decent, no rattling noises or squeaks.
The only complaint that I have is about the top layer of the plastic wearing off quickly.
After 1 week of use I can already see a beginning of a shine where my fingers rest on the two buttons.
I would buy this mouse again, despite its negatives, because I can charge it effortlessly by placing it on the charger.
That, plus the fact that the mouse is fast and light, makes it a good overall choice and a worthwhile upgrade from my DeathAdder Elite.
You get what you pay for. It’s an incredible mouse, haven’t used it for too long but I definitely feel confident in recommending the house to anyone with medium sized hands, my hands are on the larger side of things and I have absolutely no issues with getting a strong grip on it. For a true ambidextrous mouse, potential customers might be worried about the side buttons on the other side of the mouse accidentally being pressed, I have never accidentally hit them. In fact I use one of them to active hypershift and it turns my mouse into a multimedia peripheral while I hold it (e.g. hold the button and left click to play/pause music and use the scroll wheel for volume up/down) which is done through synapse with setting that up taking a couple minutes at most. Synapse isn’t needed, and the mouse is just plug and play but with that you have no control over the RGB on the mouse or dock. Battery life is amazing, with RGB maxed out I left it on for 2 days straight without putting the mouse on charge at all, and on the third day I checked the battery; ~35%. The battery is amazing. The mouse feet glide nicely (I believe they’re 99% PTFE, if that means nothing to you then it basically means smooth af) and paired with the ridiculous weight of the mouse at 74g… This thing flies on a decent mousemat. The sensor (razer’s focus plus sensor) is brilliant. 0 issues at all, I used to own a mamba TE which had issues with the sensor refusing to track when it was picked up but there’s no such issues here. Oh and it’s rated for 20,000 DPI, if you feel inclined to set it up as a dpi setting to spin round and round a million times when you move an inch in game, the DPI changing button is found on the bottom of the mouse with a little triangular led to show you which setting it’s on. There’s also a power switch and a place to store the wireless receiver there (nice and useful for travelling if that’s your thing). All round it’s a brilliant mouse, and as for the dock… It’s not a must have but it makes life so much easier it’s worth buying outright, you will not regret it if you buy the mouse, you may aswell spend the little extra on the dock. It’s as close to the perfect mouse or there right now, but you’re paying for it. Hope this helps!
Luckily for me the g pro is still in warranty but i have no doubt the switch problem will happen again and ill probably be out of said warranty so here we are i decided to get away from omron switches completely and get the viper ultimate, the g pro can go back for warranty repair/replace and ill sell it when its back and new again, i wont be getting another logi mouse while they use these switches.
Anyway what can i say about the viper, very light, very fast, the switches dont feel quite as quick to press as the g pro admittedly but its super close, the texture is not as smooth either which makes it less slippy but less pleasant feeling, the side buttons are nice, a bit too recessed but i think i prefer that. The g pro wireless really was a masterpeice of simplicity and got so much right but most reviews dont mention the chewing gum switches that never get close to the rated lifespan, its all great at first but 12 months later your very likely to get iffy clicks and its unacceptable in a mouse this price.
My advice would be dont underestimate the optical switches on this mouse, theres much more to it than outright response times most people dont notice, the viper also has longer battery life, is lighter overall and just… Just, a step ahead. Would never have given up on the g pro though had it never outright failed… Again.
EDIT: after a month or so of using the viper ultimate it became apparent the battery life didnt quite last as long as the g pro wireless, the switches didnt feel as good as the g pro, like they needed just a bit more force with less pleasing click, the side buttons are too recessed meaning i squeeze the mouse a little harder to activate them causing me to click the buttons on the opposite side which became irritating since i couldnt remove them like the g pro. the razer viper ultimate is also shallower than the g pro, im typically a palm gripper so the added touch of height on the g pro fit my hand much nicer and i prefer the feel of the g pro shell. logitech did indeed send me a replacement g pro wireless so i was left with the tough choice of which mouse to keep and ultimately ive stuck with the g pro even with that risk the switches may fail again, for me it just feels better to use and so the viper is on its way back… its an amazing mouse technically speaking, but its not quite there yet.
