Customer Ratings & Reviews

This mouse is fast. Not only is it very lightweight, clocking in at 71g, but the buttons feel very crisp with the gen2 switches, and it feels like an upgrade over my Viper Ultimate. Sure, this mouse is wired, and I’ve considered picking up a mouse bungee to manage the cable, which after a month of use still retains most of its shape, but the cable is braided, and for the most part I don’t see an issue. There was a break-in period where the mouse feet had “sharp” edges against the mousepad, producing a scratchy and abrasive feeling on the first couple of uses. I’ve had issues running valorant if you do not set Raw Mouse Input Buffer(Beta) to on. The RGB lighting is not visible depending on your grip and use. As an item on your desk between sessions, it’s noticeable, but if you palm your mouse, you will not be able to see it while playing. The mouse feet after the break-in period are smooth, and the sensor feels very accurate. Every button feels very crisp and responsive. The scroll wheel is firm, but does have some texture. Personally I prefer scrollwheels with a free roll or locking switch, which this mouse does not have. The cable is long enough to reach the computer, and the supporting Razer software is very good. The box itself Was very pleasing to open with Razer’s “NASA” packaging. It also comes with some very lucrative stickers with a nice reflective rainbow shimmer, denoting some of razer’s own branding. For the price, it’s ok. There are other mice at this price range which might offer a better experience. For me, moving from the viper ultimate to the 8k, I wanted to explore what the 8k sensor could do for me. I haven’t noticed much of a reason to purchase this mouse over a 1000hz polling rate mouse. Like I said, it is a bit gimicky. I am happy with this purchase, but the break-in period, and the potential need for a mouse bungee docks this product one star.

Seems to be more responsive than your standard gaming mouse but extra mouse 4 and 5 buttons make it frustrating if you do not disable.

The heavier scroll wheel is just absolutely the best and the mouse doesn’t feel cheap at all I actually bought another one for my other pc

Very happy with this mouse. I wanted something lightweight to upgrade my game, and this fits the bill perfectly. The customizable DPI on the x and y axes has been a game-changer for me. Had to play around with the settings initially, but now I've got it dialed in. The middle scroll wheel has defined stops, making it easy to switch items. My only quibble with this mouse, I suppose, is that it clicks loudly. That said, it feels crisp, not at all mushy!

Bought for my son who is a gamer. He says its perfect and responsive. The led light is cool too.

Works well. Meets expectations. Right and left mouse button seems a little loose but does not affect gaming perfornance.

Love the feel and performance of the mouse.I also think it has great balance and weight to it.

Great mouse and brought on sale. Was looking at the Corsair Sabre RGB pro champion And are very similar expect viper 20,000 dpi and sabre 18,000 dpi same 8000 polling rate had both brands of mice and keyboards. Had a Basilisk Ultimate and worked great for me. Might get mouse tape for this mouse from Razer had it on my Basilisk ultimate and using a Firefly V2 mouse pad and both work great.

[Employee of bestbuy] My wife loves this mouse she is more or a palm grip person but she absolutely loves it!

Best gaming mouse. Fast responsive. Be careful with the side buttons, easily breakable .

The shape is the regular viper shape, a rather low back hump, long and ambidextrous. I am personally not too fond of it but I'm sure that others will be. The coating is very average, not especially easy to grip but not slippery. I would describe the coating as a plastic akin to a PBT keycap. The paracord on the mouse leaves a lot to be desired in an era of wireless mice and flexible paracords when the mouse is wired. The paracord is rather stiff and has the shoelace type of feeling to it, usable but not leading in any meaningful way. Scroll wheel is nice, no problems there. Keep in mind that there is side buttons on both the left and right sides of the mouse so steer clear if that is something you want to avoid. Now as for the real reason most people will gravitate towards this mouse, its namesake 8KHz. Can you feel the 8KHz? Yes, you can feel smoother tracking but a lot of systems will not be able to handle that report rate and in turn you will suffer noticeably lower frames in games. The mouse is fun and cool to mess around with but not necessarily a technology which will give you a huge competitive advantage. If you are not already a fan of the Viper shape, look elsewhere and if you are you may enjoy this mouse as it is a pioneer among its peers. Will 8KHz become the future? We will see if wired mice are able to compete in a wireless mark and whether or not the wire justifies the extra poling rate.

The mouse on 8000mhz works on some games and feels great. I found that putting the mouse on 4000mhz works on all games and feels REALLY good. The shape is fantastic for finger tip grip. The build is really solid and there is no issues with the mouse. The side buttons are ok, a little hard to hit at the beginning but quickly go used to them.

Excellent entry level fps mouse. Used very often before i upgraded to Viper Pro 2 Wireless

For all you gamers for the price you cannot go wrong especially when best buy Has it at a discounted price

The software is great and easy to use, the mouse is the right size and very comfortable, the overall responsiveness is outstanding. The other big winner for me is the "click" sound isn't too loud. The 8k by Corsair was like a mechanical keyboard, just way too noisy. The only complaint I have is the DPI button is on the bottom of the mouse so it's not easy to change on the fly.

Great motion, great clicking side button are handy

My son enjoy his gaming setup, i ordered this 3yrs ago and its still in good shape

We love this mouse. It is super responsive and feels great.

The mouse works great so far. The design is amazing I love the lit up logo

Solid design, light weight with good performance at a reasonable price.
