Pricey but worth it. I use to do architecture work as well as play some video games when i have the time, and i couldnt be more happy w my purschase.
Although it isn’t quite a left handed deathadder (now discontinued and impossible to find online) this serves as a fairly competent successor with the buttons on the left of the mouse disabled.
The mouse is lightweight enough to glide but not light enough to lift accidentally when moving and is comfortable with either hand.
They said of all the gaming mouse this is the best and they were right it is fast response time is excellent light weight I would recommend this to anyone.
his is a perfect little mouse, I have quite small hands, and this fits perfectly for me, obviousy it might not fit you as well, it’s a good looking mouse with a nice design, and the rgb light, is perfectly understated, I’ve not tried to choose one colour for it to say on, as I’m quite happy with the slow colour change
Looks really good, no latency or hiccups and functions perfectly (the no rgb is annoying but I knew what I was getting into so what can I say)
My only dislike is towards the software not letting you have super fast fire clicking like with the glorious model o, my predecessor mouse before upgrading to this one. Coupled with a smoother build material, if the software had a faster fire switch feature then it would be 10/10.
Has a lovely sound and aesthetically pleasing + excellent battery life. (Bought mine 2nd hand)
The viper v2 pro is a good mouse, when using it the first thing i noticed was how insanley accurate it was. This doesnt turn you into a pro level gamer overnight but you can feel a difference. The mouse suits more fingertip and claw grip although im claw the hump slightly too small for my hands when comparing it to my g pro superlight. If also using a glass mouse pad like me, id advising changing the skates they’re really hard PTFE and they feel scratchy and if you have even the tiniest bit of dust or hair on your glass pad it will feel like your draging a knife across your pad. Overall I’m happy with the mouse, i have gone back to the g pro superlight for time being just becaus it suits my hands better but I’ll be keeping the viper. Overall if your a gamer you wouldn’t be disapointed. The mouse is aimed to the performance based audience, not the colourful RBG fans lol.
Thw Razer Viper V2 Pro gaming mouse, and I’m incredibly impressed! The responsiveness and precision of this mouse are top-notch, providing a seamless gaming experience. The design is sleek, ergonomic, and fits perfectly in my hand, ensuring long hours of comfortable gameplay. The wireless functionality is flawless, with minimal input lag, making it ideal for competitive gaming. The customizable buttons and intuitive software allow for personalized settings, enhancing my gameplay further. I highly recommend the Razer Viper V2 Pro to any serious gamer — it’s a game-changer!
Everything perfect great shape, 4k polling rate if you buy the dongle too but only issues id say is it picks up alot of dead skin cells from your hand very easily, my scroll wheel is slightly rattly and the battery life isn’t the best. Those 3 things aside it is a great mouse which you would expect at this price poi
he connectivity is great. performance is amazing, i dont use the scrolling so idk if its good or not. stability is good. there is no lighting which i like and value of money.. no its just as good as the g pro wireless and its 50 more expensive i recommend the g pro wireless, but my opinion the viper v2 pro is the bes
It’s great mouse. The best i ever had. The only problem is after few months the charging dock gets a bit tricky. You have to find the correct position to charge the mouse. You cant just place it and forget it. I am now charged it directly. Battery life is good and responsiveness is great.
been looking for a lefty replacement for awhile, have had 2 others from Razer, alway have a spare but my original one after years of hard gaming was playing up a little so I got my spare out. not as keen on the spare as it has too many buttons but this Viper is just perfect, 2 buttons for the thumb. I turned off the other 2 buttons on the other side so its a perfect lefty mouse now. very easy to set up and I’ve had it a few months now and I’m totally happy with it. will replace this for same mouse in about a decade when it’s had its day
I liked the colour of this mouse which is why I got it so it could match my pink setup and it’s really cute and good quality, you can change the lightening the razer synapse software and change the mouse on the dock aswell

Hey so as the title suggests ive had this mouse for over 2 years now, I play apex and runescape so I use the middle mouse button quite a lot. I did end up fixing the issue by opening the mouse and placing some layered duct tape on top of the switch for the middle mouse button, which has fixed the issue for a while now. Other than that problem the mouse has been really great to use, I have pretty small hands so this mouse is perfect for me, my boyfriend has bigger hands and he says the mouse is way too small for him and its uncomfortable to use. For some reason my wireless charging dock works 1/10 times so i use the wire to charge my mouse instead and have kept the dock for aesthetic reasons i have yet to find out whats causing that could be dust but im not sure.
his mouse instantly made my mouse movements feel much more responsive and precise, and its lightweight, small frame is satisfying to use.
never expect the best ergonomics with ambidextrous mice as they can’t really account for thumb and finger placements. nevertheless, this mouse still feels really comfortable to use in a range of grips (most noteably fingertip and palm) and is a massive upgrade from any old mouse you might be using.
definitely buy if on sale for lower than 100, but imo 100 is still a steal.
As with everything involving Razer products, it’s 50/50 if you get a good one.
First v2 Pro had hollow, nasty sounding clicks and the right click in particular had a high pitched ping in addition to feeling mushy (as reported on Reddit and elsewhere).
Replacement is perfect, and every FPS game I play my aim improved quite a bit. Admittedly I did worse due to using a G305 which despite what the fanboys say is mid at best. The sticky PTFE skates didn’t help.
Amazing mouse. Worth the money if you get any kind of serious enjoyment out of competitive FPS games.
Bought this to test it out as it was cheap and on sale. I’m really impressed with how will it performs and it’s build quality for its price. It’s a small mouse so people with hand lengths of about 18cm and under would be more suited to this size mouse.
Sadly, the mouse has now been discontinued. But Amazon still seem to have some stock left in the Prime day sale.
Plus, Razer has also now released the Cobra mouse. Which is pretty much the same shape and size as the Viper Mini and also has a better sensor for LOD. As well as their third generation of optical switches on the left and right buttons.
So, a new Viper Mini but with a different name. And some nice improvements added.
I have used this mouse for 1+ Months and i really like it. It has an amazing click latency and the clicks are very satisfying. However it doesent have a tilt scroll wheel or side buttons on both sides, However i master my flicks at valorant with it with its light 58g body. The price however is a bit high so i suggest waiting for a sale. All in all, If you need a quality mouse for any fps game, this is the mouse to go for.
Alternatives:
Logitech G Pro Superlight
Glorious Model O wireless
Lamzu Atlantis
Viper 8Khz
P.S: If you chose this mouse i suggest getting the hyperpolling wireless dongle for extra smoothness for an extra 30 to take your cursor movement to another level.
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
I bought this mouse used and got the wrong charging dock but besides that I love the mouse it battery is amazing
Expensive but is well made, it’s also very comfortable and has freedom of customisable settings including RGB. I have been using this product for about a month and I have had one problem once with my personal settings reverting back to default.
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
i purchased this mouse over a year ago and honestly its perfect had no issues with it whatsoever it feels perfect in my hands it glides perfectly the only somewhat complaint is the price i paid which is 150 before this i used the g pro superlight and let me tell you the viper beats it in every aspect the sensor on the viper felt way more precise the shape the feel everything i would always feel strange holding the g pro because of the big bump on the back but yeah this mouse is perfec
This is my second Viper Ultimate and will repeat the purchase after another 4 years!
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
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.
Overall this mouse is great, light weight and reasonably sturdy.
Side buttons stick out slightly further than viper ultimate, scroll wheel is more tactile and mouce clicks are light yet satisfying.
Not ambidextrous so might make hard for left handed people
Lack of rgb might be a let down for some people, i feel it gives a mouse slight more clean ascetic.
Good for finger tip and palm grip.
Personally i feel this is better for small to medium hands.
For the price a little disappointing they dont give hyperpolling dongle in box.
Overall a great mouse.
I have read the review many complained that they found the charging station stopped charge at sometime later.
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’ve used this mouse daily for about 5 months now. This is my first ever Razer purchase, and it hasn’t disappointed.
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.
The viper 8k is an excellent mouse, mainly, for fps. It is extremely responsive and, for me, it has the perfect weight without feeling cheap or “plasticky”. Its shape is very similar to the FK2 but it is only slightly larger, the front is a little more raised and it has deeper comfort grooves. My grip style is fingertip and I felt really comfortable after a few hours with it. However, I feel like this will be very good for claw as well, if not better.
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.
Razer is a brand that i have come to love and trust with my pc gaming
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
I am left-handed (as in I actually use the mouse in my left hand) and finding a decent left-handed gaming mouse over the years has been quite the task. The reality is that there are barely any true left-handed mice out there. Razer seem to be one of the very companies that actually cater to us southpaws and for that I give them a lot of credit, considering how few of us there are and thus I imagine they would be barely making much profit, if any at all.
They’ve released a true ergonomically left-handed version of both the Deathadder and Naga (both of which I’ve used) although they are both wired and I’ve been looking for a light wireless mouse to use for gaming (especially fast paced shooter games like Call of Duty Modern Warfare, where speed is very important) and I’m pleased to say that I am very happy with the Razer Viper Ultimate. There’s no noticeable lag compared to the aforementioned wired mice, which is a great thing for gamers.
The mouse feels extremely responsive and feels nice and light in the hand whilst it’s comfortable to use with a claw grip (can’t comment on how it is for fingertip or palm grip users). The design is truly ambidextrous, as in it has side-buttons on both sides, not just the left side like the majority of “ambidextrous” gaming mice. This means that as a leftie, I can make use of the buttons on the right side with my thumb. The buttons aren’t removeable like the ones on the original G Pro Wireless are, but this hasn’t really been an issue for me because they don’t stick out too much so I have never accidentally pressed the buttons on the other side.
The buttons feel nice to press, especially the primary and secondary mouse buttons which have a nice “clickyness” to them. I like the grip on the scroll wheel, it’s easy to press and comes in very handy as a keybind (such as a quick melee) when in intense moments in games. The texture of the mouse is nice, the top of it has a nice matte touch whilst the sides have a more grippy texture to them so there’s little chance of slipping and misclicking a side button.
I got the mouse with the dock and it is certainly very convenient. I leave it on the dock to charge when taking quick breaks and this pretty much stops it from ever getting low in battery. It was a bit awkward at first to position the mouse so that it connects with the magnetic pins, but after a few times I got the hang of it and now it fits on quite seamlessly.
Both the dock and the mouse have RGB which is nice if you’re into that. When the mouse is charging, it flashes a specific colour along with the dock to indicate the battery level which is pretty neat (e.g red if it’s very low, yellow/orange if it’s around the middle and green if it’s high). When they’re not charging, I have both of them as a matching static colour, but you can customise them a fair bit in Razer’s software called Synapse. In general, Synapse is very useful as it allows me to remap all of the mouse buttons. Being a leftie, I use the right-click as my primary button and the left-click as secondary. However I didn’t rebind them in Synapse, but rather Window’s own mouse settings so that I don’t have to wait for Synapse to start up every time I turn on my PC. I like that I can have different profiles in Synapse for my mouse (I have one for general use and one specifically for gaming, and I can link specific games to the latter profile). Each profile can also have their own DPI and RGB settings.
However Synapse is unfortunately not without its issues, like when booting my PC up it sometimes doesn’t connect to my profile automatically and keeps asking me if I want to use the cloud settings or the on-board settings of the mouse and I haven’t found a way to resolve this yet, but Logitech’s G Hub software never gave me any issues like this. I would have given this 5 stars if it wasn’t for the issues I’ve experienced with the software.
Overall, the mouse itself is pretty much the best wireless gaming mouse around at the moment if you’re left-handed like myself and I am very happy with this purchase. Razer are known for their expensive prices but luckily I got this in a deal with the dock included for 64.99. For all the flack Razer get in the gaming community, they genuinely are one of the very few companies that care about us left-handed gamers and hopefully continue to do so. If I was right-handed I probably would have gone for the G Pro X Superlight as it’s around 10g lighter, but that’s not to say that this mouse is bad in any means for a right-handed gamer, it’s still very light and comfortable to use and is certainly a solid choice.
Sorry for the long review but I hope this is helpful to anyone looking for a solid wireless gaming mouse that caters to both right and left-handed users.
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’ve used a number of mice over the past few years: Razer Deathadder, GPro Wired, Glorious Model O- & Model D.
I’m an FPS gamer mainly and play games like PUBG, CoD, etc.. have played FPS games since 2003 so I’d say my mechanical skill with a mouse is pretty good and I notice differences between all mice listed above.
It’s only been the past few weeks where I decided to go for the Razer Viper Mini and move away from the Model O-. Not because it’s a bad mouse but because ergonomically it feels a little too narrow for my hand and I noticed cramping and fatigue, which is not something you want as a gamer.
Ergonomically this mouse is really comfortable to hold. I use a hybrid palm/claw grip. It’s as small as the o- and nearly as light but the rear of the mouse it’s ever so slightly higher, which allows me to have contact with the mouse with my palm, which gives that bit of support.
The middle of the mouse isn’t as narrow either, so I noticed that my right ring finger is able to curl in naturally to hold the mouse which leaves just my pinky on the mat for tracking support – the model o- only allowed me to grip with the side of my right finger which again wasn’t the most natural position. The Model D felt a little too big for my hand although the curvature on the outside of the mouse felt grand, but adjustments I had to make were unnatural for ME and caused some cramping. I’ve yet to experience cramping with the viper mini. Thankfully.
The skates on the Viper feel very slick. This may change depending on the mouse pad you’re using. I tested it on my long time use QCK+ which seems to be a little slower than the MM350, which allows a really good glide and I’ve noticed tracking targets in PUBG is far easier – heads up this could be because my QCK has been used for so long that it’s built up sweat etc on it which has slowed it down – I’ll revise this again later once I’ve used my MM350 a bit more.
The buttons are a delight and extremely responsive but don’t feel flimsy. The Model o- & the GPro Wired had softer feeling buttons which made it feel like they were going to get pushed in and stuck (they never did of course, besides the middle mouse button on the GPro obtaining a double click after 5 months).
These don’t feel like that at all. I love them. Took me a few hours to get used to them because they were so responsive. Definitely the most responsive buttons I’ve ever used, which in FPS gaming is amazing. They’re absolutely fantastic.
The accuracy feels really good too. I loot pretty fast in PUBG and I definitely notice tab looting in PUBG to be much slicker, I don’t know if it’s a placebo or what but it feels good and I don’t doubt I’m missing anything.
The cable is flexible and doesn’t feel like it catches on the end of my mouse pad – I have a bungee too but I like an extra bit if slack and it doesn’t seem to catch or get mis-shaped from sitting in a certain position, which I’ve noticed with other cables.
The build of the mouse is really good too, there’s no creaking or flex to the body so it doesn’t feel like it’s going to crumble at any point which is great.
My pics are a comparison of all mice I have currently. The viper mini is in the middle. Hopefully this gives you an Idea of shape and size and side button position.
The only downside (of any razer product imo) is the Razer Synapse software, which I’ve never been a fan of.
It just seems like bloatware to me. I installed it used it for a few days but then uninstalled it again because it’s just a pain in the hole. Mouse works perfectly fine without it.
I would definitely recommend this mouse to anyone & for the price it’s absolute bargain.
Happy to answer any questions if anyone has any.
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!
Awesome mouse, i have gone from a logitech g pro wireless to this and that might seem a strange thing to do but heres the thing, my g pro wireless has started double clicking, normally i wouldnt be too bothered and just get it replaced but before the g pro wireless i had a g903, another high end logitech mouse and the exact same problem with that aswell only that was out of warranty.
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.
