Great mouse but I wish docking it to charge was an option.

Over the year of owning this the scroll wheel has started to act up and when I scroll down it also scrolls up slightly and is annoying to deal with.

There is a certain image that comes to mind when you say "gaming mouse." You generally expect something with almost as many buttons as your keyboard, enough LEDs to light your house, and more gimmicks than a theme park. And a lot of that comes from the past products produced by Razer, who will happily remind you that they were the first company to bring gaming focused mice to market back when they were still using rubber balls instead of optical sensors. The Viper V2 Pro, however, is something very different. You will find no RGB, a bare minimum of buttons, and not a single gimmick that you'll configure once then forget about within the space of the hour. All the bling and prestige features have been ruthlessly stripped away to deliver a performance focused product aimed squarely at professional gamers. The first thing you'll notice on unpacking the mouse is the feel in your hand. The base assumption for most gaming mice is that less weight means less inertia means faster response times and precision. Ultralight mice generally start at around 80g. The original Viper (which, it has to be pointed out, was a wired rather than a wireless mouse) weighed in at 70g. This one came in at 59g. And unlike most mice in this range, it does it with a solid case rather than cutting away material to leave you with more of a mouse wireframe. And it's a pretty nice case too. It's got a pleasantly grippy matte texture all around and on the buttons, with a few pre-cut strips of rubber grip tape included for those who want to be sure of their hold even if their palms start to sweat a bit. I personally taped up both sides of the mouse as I found it slightly more comfortable (and a bit better looking) that way, and found the process to be very simple. Button response is nice too. They're using optical switches for the main buttons which should offer longer lifespans and better durability, but you wouldn't necessarily know it if they hadn't told you. They've got just as much tactile response as conventional mechanical switches, and make the same satisfying clicky noises you expect. The second thing that makes this stand out as a gaming mouse is the sensor, which goes up to 30,000DPI and is fully tunable via their Synapse software utility (though for those who don't want to use it, there is also a button on the bottom which cycles through a variety of preconfigured modes.) this thing is about as responsive as anything I've ever seen when turned all the way up, to the point where it's almost a hindrance. Since it's designed for tournament play it omits a sniper switch or any other dedicated buttons to allow you to retune sensitivity on the fly, so it's definitely more of a "set it and forget it" device. It does, however, work on almost every surface I tried (with clear glass being the standout.) Best performance did come from using it on a mousepad though - which is also the most comfortable since the teflon pads on the bottom are pretty shallow, and thus harder to move on a less than perfectly flat surface. Wireless performance was, as one would expect, great. Latency seemed virtually non-existent, battery life is solid, and it comes with a nice angular USB-C extension for those who want to manage EMI and keep the receiver as close as possible to the mousepad. If you're looking for a mouse for tournament play (or even just preparing for tournament play) this is absolutely worth checking out. The weight, build quality, adjustability, it's all dialed in about as much as it can be. If you're more of a casual gamer or looking for something for everyday computing though, I think you might want to consider something else. As high quality as the Viper V2 is, the fact that it is so focused on the professional circuit means you're missing a lot of things that other gaming mice can provide which are quite useful for things other than gaming. There is no horizontal scroll system, no sniper button to let you retune sensitivity on the fly for fine detail work, and no ability to fine tune the weight if you want something a little more solid in the hand. This is not the mouse for everyone and anything, and it doesn't want to be. It is a precision tool, and for the right kind of user I think it'll serve them well in that capacity for a long time.

Ultra light and just a good gaming experience overall

Cursor stopped working after 2 months other then that it’s small can light

I bought this as a gift for my brother who is a gamer and he absolutely loves it. I dont know a lot about how gaming stuff works but I wish it were a bit cheaper

Very good and light mouse for fps games. I alternate between logitech superlight and this. I returned it and got a white one that was on sale.

Purchased the mouse while it was on sale. Wireless dongle died on me 2 minutes aftee plugging it in. Found out that multiple people have rhe same issue or it dies within a month. Beware of this issue as Razer just sends another wireless dongle for it to do the same thing.

I really like this mouse, but one of the buttons broke within a week of buying it. I exchanged it for a new one and bought the 2 year protection plan. So far so good

This was an amazing mouse for the 2 months it lasted. Today the right click stopped registering consistently which is a huge problem for gaming. Then the left click died out within the same hour. Super disappointed with this - PC peripherals should last years, not months.

Upping its game for competitive gamers, Razer brings us the ultra-lightweight Viper V2 Pro Wireless Optical gaming mouse. Designed for both comfort and precision, this mouse is a great option to take your gaming to the next level. The Viper V2 Pro has a minimal, sleek aesthetic. It is small mouse with no frills for sure. The device comes packaged with a wireless USB dongle and adapter, a nice USB-A to USB-C Speedflex cable, Razer mouse grip tape, and an information guide. The mouse can be used wired, but the USB dongle allows for a really nice wireless experience. Simply press and hold the power button a few seconds and you're good to go. And battery life is exceptional on the Viper V2, with a single charge providing up to 70 hours of wire-free usage. The standout feature of the Viper V2 Pro is its weight. Coming in at 58g, the mouse moves and glides at ease on any surface or mouse pad. The mouse surface is slightly matte and smooth to the touch, but if you're like me and prefer a more solid, grippable texture, the Viper V2 Pro comes packaged with grip tape for a quick makeover of the sides and top buttons. It really feels responsive, which can be attributed to the Razer Focus Pro 30k optical sensor. The cursor flies across the screen with the smallest hand movement, but all within control. The scroll wheel has only the click-through option, no auto-scroll or smooth scrolling, so some zooming in and out during gameplay was a bit restrictive. The buttons each have a mechanical click to each press, which depending on your preference can be comforting or tiresome to listen to after a while. The Viper V2 Pro gaming mouse has some nice features that can really enhance a gamer's experience. Its lightweight, minimal design can alleviate stress to your hand during long gaming sessions, and its responsive, precise optical sensor works spot on in both wired and wireless modes. Overall, it is a great little device and worth checking out. Full disclosure, I received this product for my honest, unbiased review.

Great mouse when it works but the USB dongle is known to suddenly stop working and will have to be replaced. For $150 it shouldnt be breaking.

Razer - Viper V2 Pro Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse Worthy change from weighted gaming mice… worth a try if you are a serious gamer! This is a change from my previous gaming mouse, which had RGB lighting, with lots of bells and whistles including weights to add for customization. First thing noticed was the very light weight of the V2 – which is a very nice change and no problem with long gaming sessions. Second thing noticed was the responsiveness, which has no lag issues – very nice for a wireless mouse. Third thing noticed was the excellent battery life, which for me excuses the “missing” RGB which I presume extends the battery life. The mouse can be connected USB for battery charging and a direct connection, but neither one is needed except for the occasional battery re-charge. Once you get to gaming, the lights on the mouse are inconsequential and the gaming performance is what really matters. There is not a constant display of the battery level on the mouse, and you have to go digging to get it – but this is not a major issue since the battery lasts for quite a while in between charges. Setup is easy, and no issues with connection to the computer. There is a “pre-set” button on the mouse to quickly change the DPI if needed when switching games or going from gaming to browsing. Also an app to customize most everything about the mouse if you like. Status display for the mouse doesn’t specify the DPI setting you are using – which would be nice to have for quick reference. Not a major issue, just a bit odd since the feature of DPI switching with a button doesn’t show you what DPI you are using. One difference that I would like to have is an option to change the mouse wheel from smooth to clicky when scrolling, as this is something I am used to and takes some time to adjust to an always-smooth mouse wheel. Overall this is actually a refreshing change from a heavier weighted gaming mouse, and one of those things that you might not appreciate until you start using an ultra-light gaming mouse. Greetings from Central Georgia!

The Razer Viper V2 Pro gaming mouse is a must have to any gaming set up. Out of the box, the mouse feels virtually weightless. For a wireless mouse, it can be hard to pull that off. It comes with a soft braided charging cable, a usb dongle, optional grip tape, a sticker sheet, instruction guide book, and warranty card. The craftsmanship and presentation of all the items is really top notch. When connecting on your computer, you will install the Razor Synapse software which will give you a complete run down of your mouse and let you program every button and customize its sensitivity and also view mouse battery life. You are able to adjust the Polling Rate, and set up stages for different DPI sensitivity. With the synapse software, you can also install the Razor Cortex software, which is pretty much a central command center for all your gaming titles to access, and lets you run a game booster and system booster to optimize files. Using the mouse is smooth like butter. It glides wistfully across the mouse mat and feels good in the hand. Its buttons are well placed and there is a nice click on the scroll wheel on each turn. The left and right click buttons are large, and the click can activate from any point on the button, so it is easy to use for small hands or large hands. When it comes to its use in gaming, it has an incredibly smooth flow on the pointer or when aiming a weapon. With the adjustable DPI, it makes a world of difference being able to adjust DPI settings between different games and they get saved in the DPI profiles. There is such a noticeable feeling when using this mouse versus using a standard wireless mouse. It feels professional, it feels smooth, it feels comfortable, and it feels solid built. Overall, I would highly recommend this mouse to a friend, and I am hard pressed to find any flaws with the operation or quality of this mouse.

I absolutely love this mouse. It is very light weight and I have 0 complaints about the mouse.

Probably one of the best mice that I own. I alternate between this and the Logitech superlight

Great feeling mouse if it ever worked correctly wireless. I currently have a $130.00 wired mouse. Razer's customer service/help desk platform is trash as well as their RMA SOP's. I have owned this for 1.5 years and only used it maybe 3 months wireless before it gave out. 1.5 years later there is finally enough warranty claims to not fight the customer service rep for a replacement but their service platform is so trash that it it still frustrating. Razer products have great designs and form factor but their reliability and customer service is not for users in a professional work setting unless you want to get left for dead when you need it most.

Overall great mouse. Highly recommend for anyone who previously had the Razer Viper Ultimate.

The scroll wheel sounded like it was grinding. I have 4 competitive grade mice that have over a year of use and none of them have this problem. Let alone developing any quality issues in 2 days. Complete garbage QC.

Mouse stop working after couple of mouse don't buy this mouse
