RazerViper V3 HyperSpeed - Wireless Esports Mouse (Focus Pro 30K Optical Sensor, Up to 280 hours of Battery Life, Mechanical Mouse Switches Gen-2, 4000 Hz Wireless Polling Rate) Black

I decided to try this mouse after hearing all the hype around Razer products recently, and I must say, I’m thoroughly impressed. Having used the G Pro 1 and 2 before, I always found the mouse buttons on those models to be a bit too small for my liking. However, the Viper series feels just right, with buttons that are perfectly sized and responsive with no spongy feel at all.The mouse comes with a robust USB-A to USB-C braided cable, which not only charges the mouse but also connects seamlessly to the wireless dongle when needed. The transition between wired and wireless modes is effortless, making the experience incredibly convenient.Overall, I’m extremely pleased with the quality, functionality, and how straightforward it was to set up. Definitely a worthwhile purchase!

Before this mouse, I was using a much larger and heavier gaming mouse almost twice the weight. The switch to this was night and day. The shape is a neutral one, and I believe would fit most hand shapes and sizes. That being said, I have small hands and grip this with my full hand (palm grip) and have no troubles. The weight is a nice weight in my opinion at around 70 grams, and feels premium. The skates feel fast, and the mouse feels super responsive.In terms of actual gaming, the mouse has a great sensor and tracking has not been an issue. It has been comfortable to use for hours, and the grips on the side have a nice texture making it nice to hold in the hand. The 2 mouse buttons are very clicky, making them feel responsive. This mouse might not be for those who are after super lightweight mice, for that I’d suggest xtrfy or pulsar, or even the viper mini. There’s tons of lighter mice out there and this isn’t for you if you prefer lighter mice. That being said, I prefer this weight, makes it feel more premium and less like I’m about to crush it. It’s also got a nice feeling and glide that creates a sense of control, even on faster pads - whilst still being extremely fast. Super good feeling using it in high paced shooters or battle royales.In terms of lighting, chroma remains the best. It’s extremely bright, so much so that I’ve set it to 30% and it’s still very bright. The dock has a very nice diffused glow aswell and produces very accurate colours. Chroma has a lot of effects you can use, and they all work very well. Chroma also offers the ability to link lighting between all chroma supported devices which can create a nice unison between all devices of a setup, and helps clean up the aesthetic of a setup. For those that don’t like rgb, when turned off, the razer logo isn’t even visible - it just looks like a plain black mouse which I’m a fan of - you can take this around with you and not be stared at for having a gaming mouse with huge branding all over it.Overall, a great fun mouse to use for those looking for a middle ground between heavy and lightweight mice, perfect for fast paced games and slower ones too - offers great control and speed.

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.
