You can find my review here: (https://youtu.be/AIA9W-QxlKk) BUILD QUALITY: Starting with the buttons, none of them wiggle or are loose. They all require a mild to moderate amount of force to actuate. With being more on the mild side than the moderate side. I say the travel and reset point are average comparable to most other mice. It is more than the Logitech G Pro Wireless which I consider to be on the lowest end. Where this would be on the low to medium end. The left and right click are contoured to help with comfort. I find the clicks to be crisp. They are better than the ones found on the Viper Ultimate. But the rating has been reduced from 70 million clicks to 50 million. This could be due to the mechanical portion of this switch using cheaper components and/or due to the increased tactility reducing the overall lifespan. The shell is also responsible for how a click feels. With this shell being slightly different than other Viper mice it helps with click presence. A lot of other people have complained about Razer’s Optical Switch being mushy. While a great deal of others think they feel great. All three of the Viper mice I have tried (Viper, Viper Mini, and Viper Ultimate) have had great click presence that are very similar to my Logitech G Pro Wireless or Finalmouse Ultralight 2 which use Omron mechanical switches. In the end I think this comes down to personal preference with a slightly above average number of defective units going out. Moving onto the side buttons, they are better than on the Viper and Viper Ultimate. As they aren’t recessed and stick out which makes them easier to click and feel crisper. The rubber on the sides of other Viper mice has now been removed. Replaced by matte black PBT type plastic that covers the entire mouse like previous iterations. It reminds me a lot of PBT keycap material. I find this to have superior grip over the Logitech G Pro Wireless material. But others say this look and feel makes the mouse feel cheap. I disagree but that comes down to personal preference. Up next is the scroll wheel which is covered in a textured material with distinct steps. It has a very satisfying crisp click, which requires a moderate amount of pressure to press, with mild/moderate amount of pressure to scroll. I really enjoy it, and it is ideal for my preferences. But others have complained that the textured material is a bit much and requires too much force to scroll. Once again user preference. Can’t please everyone. The DPI button has now been moved from the bottom of the mouse to in-between the left and right click. Once again, it doesn’t wiggle and isn’t loose. It feels good to press. I have no complaints. Overall, I think this mouse feels incredible and is well built. As I said earlier some complain that the PBT matte texture and weight (61 grams) make it feel cheap. But to me light doesn’t equal cheap. As engineering went into this mouse to make it lightweight which is harder to do than making it heavier. Despite this the entire shell doesn’t have any creaking or flex when squeezed on. There are no rattles when shaken. The hump on the back is more pronounced which I find to be comfortable. If you enjoy small mice and use claw/fingertip grip, which this mouse is made for, I think you’ll really like the shape and feel. This isn’t made for palm grip. SO, WHAT AM I COMPROMISING ON WITH THIS MOUSE COMPARED TO OTHERS? - It uses a budget sensor. Which costs less but still performs at a high level. This also means it lacks the ability to surface adjust. But as mentioned earlier you can use Razer mouse mats, or those profiles on non-Razer mats, to reduce lift off distance if needed. - Clicks have been reduced from 70 million to 50 million but provide better click presence. - RGB lighting is not as accurate as higher end models. - You get a single onboard profile compared to the usual five. Which can’t save Chroma lighting as per usual for Razer products. QUICK SUMMARY OF WHAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED THUS FAR PROS: - Excellent Mice Skates. - Excellent feel and shape. - Extremely lightweight at 61 grams. - Optical switches feel crisp and prevent double clicks and are faster with zero debounce delay. - Great side clicks. - Brilliant price at $40. CONS: - Mouse feet. As between the weight of this mouse and the speed of the feet some may have trouble pixel aiming by overshooting their target. - Some say due to the weight and texture that it makes the mouse feel cheap. - It comes with a budget sensor that is still very good, but jitters at the higher end with no surface tuning. Some say the lift-off distance is too high at around 2.4mm. - Small in size and made for fingertip/claw which will only work for some. - Some claim the optical switches feel mushy. CONCLUSION: Razer has seriously impressed me with their most recent gear. As they have stepped up their game and have been delivering solid products for the past six months to a year. They are notorious for having overpriced gear that doesn’t hold up. But in this case, they did the exact opposite. As this is the cheapest high-tier gaming mouse you can get on the market that I am aware of. Cheaper than the Model O- and G-Wolves Skoll Hati. As you still get premium components including100% PTFE mouse skates, optical switches, lightweight design, solid build quality, and a DPI switcher. So, if small mice and claw/fingertip grip is your jam, you cannot overlook this mouse. As other comparable mice will run you $10 - $20 on the low end.

Great value! Perfect for fingertip grip and claw grip. Users with large hands might not like the shape. The mouse feet are very good, the cable isn’t the most flexible but is very good in comparison to other stock wired mice. The best part about the mouse is that it weighs only 61 grams yet maintains a strong shell that doesn’t flex when squeezed.

I have extensively tried searching for a better mouse in the sub 50 dollar category and have found none! This beats the Steelseries Rival 3, and the HyperX Pulsfire Core hands down for the price. Pros: Super light weight (60 grams), great paracord cable, able to be run without drivers, small form factor, comfortable shape. Cons: Cable is not as good as "premium" paracord cables (but still very nice and better than others in its price range), driverless option does not save lighting profile, not as large as a regular viper, no side grips, not a true ambi mouse (no right side buttons). If you can get past the cons on this mouse (which are very slight imo), this is THE mouse to get and goes punch for punch with mice TWICE its price!!! If you aren't completely satisfied with the specs on the viper mini, the regular viper should most definitely be my recommendation. All in all, one of the best mice I have had the pleasure of using and I've been using a lot of mice (former WMO and IME 3.0 ADDICT and current owner of an IME PRO, and former owner of a Model O) this is the one to beat. I use a claw/palm hybrid grip and this mouse is perfectly shaped. I think the regular Viper would be a bit more "comfortable" as far as fitting your hand, this mouse is perfect for an ultra lightweight mouse under 50.

Small mouse, great for PC gaming, it took me a while to get used to a smaller mouse but I see why people prefer them while gaming. If you don't mind the cord, I totally understand why someone would want this over an expensive gaming mouse, this gets the job done at a fraction of the price. The only downside is it gets uncomfortable for day to day use vs a big ergo mouse.

With school being at home right now this little mini wired Razer Mouse has helped my kids be a bit more efficient with their school work. Easy to use Great size for little hands Will last for 50 million clicks - which means it should last for a lifetime! siz programmable buttons - to do this you will need to download the Razer Synapse program which is wonderful and easy to use. This also lights up in different colors which my kids really like. This is wired and connects via a usb - so make sure you have on open!
