Razer - Viper Wired Optical Gaming Mouse with Chroma RGB Lighting - Black

I had a Deathadder Elite, which I liked; however, the grips kept peeling off and I had to use my Geek Squad Protection Plan to get a new one. Looked for reviews for different equipment, and found this mouse. What I like most about the mouse are its weight, and feel in general. The mouse just feels...right...in my hand. I have large hands, and although smaller than the Deathadder Elite, it feels more agile. Add on top of that it weighs less than the Deathadder Elite (69g vs 105g), can anyone say..."Flick! Flick! Flick!"?! I have this paired with a Razer Firefly mouse pad, which through Razer Synapse software, is pre-calibrated to track better. And, when enabled through Synapse, I find that it does!

1000% a buy. I've used mice like the g502 hero, glorious model o but man this mouse has blown me away. Super lightweight all buttons are amazing no double clicks or anything if your in the market for a good gaming mouse for fps shooters right here!

I've been looking forward to acquiring a Razer Viper for months ever since seeing it for the first time and holding the mouse with my own hand. Unlike the current crop of Razer gaming mice, the Viper bucks the trend of ever larger sized mice to accommodate users with over sized ham fisted paws for hands. Not since the halcyon days of Razer's Diamondback and Copperhead has a Razer mouse been comfortable for me to hold using the claw style grip. Almost all modern Razer mice have a tall bulbous hump on the top side of the mouse starting from the middle and working its way to the back end of the mouse. Not so with the Viper. The Viper's dimensions and shape are lower profile and left/right side symmetric like the Diamondback and Copperhead designs from a decade ago. Combined with the Viper's light in class 69g curb weight (not including weight of cord) this mouse is not only comfortable to grip but also not tiring to push around as it requires very little physical movement to make the mouse pointer move quickly in RTS type games. As it stands the Viper has full Razer Synapse driver support, a 5G sensor with maximum 16k DPI sensitivity, on the fly sensitivity control button on the bottom with LED indicator, built in settings profile memory and new in class optical switches for button 1 and 2. Button 1 and 2 appear to respond very quickly to input clicks with no observable ghosting or repeated inputs despite only a single physical click. The only downside to the Viper is it's one of the most expensive corded Razer gaming mouse sold by Best Buy. However if you don't have large ham fisted paws for hands and prefer Razer gaming mice, BB and Razer kind of have you over the proverbial barrel. I bit the bullet and got a Viper and haven't looked back. Be aware if your computer does not already have Razer Synapse software installed, this package can take awhile to install once downloaded.

This is a good mouse but I wouldn't use it for gaming. It's very light and, as a gamer, I prefer a mouse with a little weight or heft. Also I'm constantly accidentally clicking the buttons on the right side, this could be problematic depending on what you have that button mapped to. Currently I'm only using the mouse for office work and it's working great for what I'm using it for, I've got the buttons mapped to things that I do a lot (e.g., copy/paste, launch applications, etc.) and that's saving time and is super convenient.

Precision and reliability of clicking the mouse button is something I need in my job. A double click could cost hundreds if not thousands. The light activation switches in this mouse gives me confidence that a double click will not occur like some other convention switches in competitor products. The weight (Or lack of) is also amazing as an added bonus!

I love how they allow you to finally save settings on the mice now. No more forcing synapse malware on your pc just to use the mice with your preferred settings. The clicks are also a huge improvement over their old mushy actuation switches. This is a great update to their product. Very lightweight with great clicks and a very nice cable.

I use this mouse. I love this mouse. It's nearly perfect. If the side buttons were a little more pronounced, then it would be the best mouse of all time. They are still easy to press, just a little hard for me to hit those side buttons as quickly as I'd like at times.

I used to have the g502 and I’m in love of the Razer viper. This mouse fits my hand perfectly and is so much lighter than my previous mouse. For $60, this mouse is a steal to get!
