Massive refinements and a top notch mouse

Packaged in classic Razer packaging, you will find your mouse, the dongle and a very generously lengthed USB-C to USB-A cable.
I love the external design of the dongle that also has a USB-C port and connects to the same cable as your mouse. As a result, you can run the braided USB cable to your desk to place the dongle as close to your mouse as possible. When the mouse needs charging, you just disconnect the cable from the dongle and connect it directly to your mouse to charge.
Upon first use, the sensitivity was too much and it was all over the place and I couldn't adjust it to my liking. Looking online, there was a firmware update for both the dongle and the mouse and once applied it worked smooth as silk.
I go through a lot of gaming mice but I settled down on a Razer Deathadder V3 wired mouse about a year ago as I really liked the feel and responsiveness to it for playing games. I've been using it for about a year so I was delighted to see the Viper V3 Pro has the same basic design but is just a touch smaller. In comparison, it has better clicks and moves better because there is no cable getting in the way. Pictured side by side, you can see they are very much related.
I play Fallout 76 and World of Warcraft daily so I was able to get right in and judge the feel and responsiveness of the Viper V3 Pro compared to not only my Deathadder V3 but my Corsair M75 Wireless and the Viper V3 Pro is the superior mouse no question. It handles much better and passed my flick test with top marks. Moving and aiming is very responsive and for the first time it is on par with wired mice if not superior to most except the best. My only problem now is I'm so used to tugging the mouse from time to time to adjust for the cable on my previous wired mice that I find myself phantom tugging on the Viper but i'm sure this will subside sooner than later.
I do not like over complicated mice with all types of buttons and gimmicks and the straight forward functionality of the Viper with just two additional buttons on the side is perfect. It is spartan in the best way.
There are also quality of life improvements too and two things I love: One is the Viper doesn't have a slot for the dongle which I appreciate as I prefer the solid ergonomics of the Viper as is. Second is the indicator light on top that lights up when charging or first waking up the mouse to let you know it's ready to go then quietly fades away. The M75 and several other wireless devices I've tried either don't have an indicator light or it stays on the entire time in use which is distracting. These little design decisions go a long way.
I consider the Viper V3 Pro the big BIG brother to the Deathadder V3 and it is now my new daily driver.
Fantastic!

The Razer Viper V3 Pro impresses with its ultra-lightweight design, precision sensor, and ergonomic comfort. Ideal for gamers, it offers exceptional responsiveness and accuracy. Its wireless connectivity ensures freedom of movement, while long battery life enhances uninterrupted gaming sessions. Overall, a top-tier choice for competitive gamers seeking performance and reliability.

This is the best mouse if you want to play competitively. It has the best performance, it’s light, has great battery life and a great shape. As a bonus, the aesthetic is very clean and minimalistic too. Glad we’re stepping away from the edgy gamer gear look.
If you want an ergo shape, the DeathAdder V3 Pro is the same mouse as this, just ergonomic instead of symmetric.
Some nitpicks would include no Bluetooth, no dongle storage, no carrying case, and no RGB.
Also, the dongle is very awkward given it’s a little object with a long cable that connects to your PC, instead of the tiny “usb flash drive” looking dongle that literally every other mouse uses. You can argue this is for the 8000Hz but mice like the Logitech G Pro X 2 have 8000Hz without using this awkward dongle style.
I still give this 5 stars because those are nitpicks that don’t intrude on your experience using the mouse.

The Razer Viper V3 Pro weighs in at only 54 grams but packs a lot of gaming power inside that deceptively lightweight framert. The sleek ergonomic grip comfortably accommodates my grip style and makes the mouse easy to move and control. Although it feels like an empty shell when lifted, the mouse actually has a solid feel and good balance during use. It feels as normal as any other mouse. Lighting is limited to a sole status LED on the top front. There’s no decorative RGB lighting, which I don’t exactly miss.
The mouse ships with a hyper-polling receiver, six-foot braided nylon USB-C to A cable, black grip tape and a sheet of Razer themed stickers. The USB cable is utilized by both the mouse and receiver for charging and PC connectivity. It can also be used to make the mouse wired or charge/use the mouse simultaneously. I’ve only charged the mouse once, using an old phone charger, and it took approximately one hour to charge from 50% to full capacity. I haven’t had it long enough to require a recharge yet, but I’ve been gaming daily for nearly a week and the mouse battery is still pretty full. Battery life is impressive so far, based on that observation.
The Viper V3 immediately became a welcomed new addition to my gaming collection thanks to it’s lightweight yet comfortable ergonomic body. It remains comfortable for long sessions and I don’t feel any cramping or fatigue even after several hours of use. The gen-3 switches have solid performance and great uresponse. The scroll wheel has good stability, precise scrolling and no excessive play. The skates provide smooth, comfortable gliding and tracking speed and accuracy are both excellent. The mouse has so far maintained reliable connectivity to the receiver. I’ve never experienced signal loss nor any noticeable latency. Polling and DPI can be adjusted in-app or on the fly if mapped (DPI is mapped by default to the shared bottom power button). Synapse also allows me update both the mouse and receiver, change button and wheel assignments, and more.

Incremental Improvements To Keep Viper On Top

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS
The Viper V3 Pro is an incremental evolution to the Viper line. With a slightly higher optical resolution, excellent ergonomics, and a premium feel, Razer has done enough to keep the Viper V3 at the top of their competition.
USE
I have an esports gaming mouse from Razer’s primary competitor. Each manufacturer claims that their collaboration will make their product the best of the best. After receiving the competitor’s product, I was left underwhelmed. Their mouse is so light, if feels cheap. The material is so thin, to save weight, it feels flimsy. Not to mention its awkward design and ergonomics. As you can tell, I don’t like the competition. While it may be everything their paid spokesman wants, I’d rather have a cheap mouse that comes with a pre-built. Ouch.
I was not expecting excitement when I got the V3 Pro. Their new collaboration concerned me with my experience from the competition. I must say, I am pleasantly surprised. The Viper V3 Pro takes everything I like about the previous generation of Viper and improves upon it. The ergonomics are spot on.
The mouse has a very premium feel. Razer’s latest switches are smooth and linear, conveying an actuation and sound of richness and precision. Unlike other lightweight mice that make the same sound as a $5 discount mouse. The Razer is slick and quiet. Razer’s mouse is slightly heavier than my other gaming mouse and I am grateful. It isn’t as heavy as a lot of the others, but a tad heavier than the lightest. Honestly, it is like Goldilocks’ porridge. The weight is “just right”.
The bottom of the Viper supports Razer’s latest Generation 2 optical sensor. Sporting a resolution of 35,000 DPI and an accuracy of 99.8%. The sensor is way better than my gaming skills could ever take advantage of. Movements are accurate, precise, and has no hint of jerkiness or skipping regardless of using my mousepad, desktop, or in a pinch, a piece of paper. Speaking of the bottom of the mouse, I REALLY like the extra-large feet. They help the mouse glide smoothly over any surface I’ve used it on.
NEGATIVES
I still hate the system resource hog that Razer calls Synapse.
One thing that Razer has failed compared to its primary competitor is the USB wireless dongle. It is too large. Razer’s primary competitor has got it right. A dongle that plugs directly into a USB-A port and barely sticks out. As small as the smallest of thumb drives. Not the Razer. It is an external dongle that must sit on your desk or somewhere around your laptop. It is roughly the size of CR123A lithium battery.
There are 2 redeemable features for the large dongle. The first, like Razer’s competition, is that it now supports pairing more than one peripheral. Secondly, the sole LED indicator light is a nice feature. Using the Synapse software, you can use it to display 1 of 3 different pieces of information. I use it to show the state of charge of the mouse. Green / Amber / Red. Very nice.
Razer only includes 1 USB-A to USB-C cable with the Viper Pro, leaving the end user to supply their own USB-A to USB-C adapter if their computer no longer has an A-style port. Shame on you Razer. The cable is about 3ft long. Long enough to use it to charge the mouse via your laptop, but too long to be tidy with the dongle. A 6-inch or 12-inch cable would be a welcome addition.
MY THOUGHTS & CONCLUSIONS
Aside from the dongle and the Synapse software, the new Viper V3 Pro is a winner. The total design feels high-end and premium. From the actuation of the switches to the overall ergonomics of the mouse, Razer has spent a great deal of effort to make a good product even better. While there are things Razer can still improve upon, they have done enough to keep the Viper at the top of list of favorite gaming mice.

Weighing a mere 54 g (just under 2 oz), this mouse floats across your desk with the agility of a greased lightning bolt—lighter even than the coveted Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2. Every flick, swipe, and micro-adjustment feels buttery smooth—this is glide territory reserved for the most elite of esports legends. Sensor So Sharp It Might Cut the Air. Equipped with Razer’s Focus Pro 35K Optical Sensor Gen-2, offering up to 35,000 DPI, this thing tracks with surgical precision—even on glassy surfaces . One experienced user proclaimed, “it just feels so accurate,” especially for those lightning-fast flicks in games like CS2!!!! The V3 Pro is built with esports in mind: Gen-3 optical switches, up to six (or eight, if you count scroll wheel programming) programmable buttons, and battery life that spans from ~95 hours at 1000 Hz down to ~17 hours at 8000 Hz!!!! This is the best gaming mouse in the world and you NEED to experience the power of the Razer Viper V3 Pro

This mouse was designed with the Zowie and Superlight 2 competition. They have almost the exact same shape so it all boils down to materials and behind the plastic. Compared to the DA3 Pro makes sense as its essentially nearly identical except with a few key differences. The hump on thr DA3Pro gives you more control but also more "drag," slowing swipes down on one side. The Viper V3 Pro being symmetrical works only because if you swipe left or right its the same. The Viper v3 pro is definitely lighter and it feels that way. In addition, the ptfe feet is significantly a larger real estate space on the Viper V3 pro, making the glide feel even nicer. The material on the V3 pro feels nicer too. I feel like whatever they did on the V3 pro material has more grip friction than the DA3 Pro. I could be wrong but it feels that way to me. Lastly, thr Viper V3 pro is lower but feels like it has the same hump shape as the DA3 pro, but the lower Viper V3 Pro makes it easier to finger grip claw grip, which imo is better for fps games. Against the Viper V2 Pro, its also identical but the internals and the hyperspeed dongle included makes it a good value. FYI the dongle is like $30 or so, making this mouse cheaper than the previous generation if you bought the dongle separately. As with compared to the Logitech Superlight 2, the Superlight 2 even thoufh is extremely similar to Viper V3 pro, I feel like im squeezing the chassis more cause its more indented or somrthing. The material also feels a little too smooth and less grip on the superlight 2 requiring definite grip tape. Overall not a fan of the superlight 2 because of that squeeze feel. Overall you cant go wrong with the V3 pro series DA or Viper. Viper ovviously is the better choice for fps games.

I love everything about this mouse but one thing... more on that in a moment.
This mouse is super light-weight, feels like it has air inside, and not much more, which makes the rather exceptional battery life a pleasant surprise.
I like the ability to use it while it's charging and then go wireless again. Its shape is very well designed to be comfortable in my hand, and the buttons have a great feel and responsiveness.
Here's where I struggle...
I haven't identified the root cause yet, but from time to time, I find that my mouse fails to function wirelessly (no, LoL, not a dead battery...). If I plug it in, it works fine, and then unplug it, it stops again. I've tried playing with the button on the bottom, but that doesn't seem to change anything. If I reboot, the problem goes away and it works wirelessly once again (See? It's not a dead battery... ;-D ). I have the Razer software installed, and it reports my drivers are up to date, so it's not that either.
The non-functioning issue has only happened three times now, and I think I've had this for around a month - so I'm not seeing any clear patterns here.
Final thoughts: Yes, I recommend this mouse. I even bought the same mouse for my son, and he loves it, too.

This mouse has become my daily driver for pretty much everything. For context, I play Collegiate esports, specifically Overwatch, at a very high level. I am always looking for the best peripherals that could potentially improve my gameplay, and also enjoy collecting them. I have used many popular mice such as the final mouse ULX, the superlight, the Beast X mini, etc. While some of those mice are much lighter than the viper v3 pro, I have found that I perform best with this mouse. This mouse has the best weight balance I have ever used and even though it sits at an average 54g, I find that its balance makes it hard to notice the difference. To my knowledge, this is also the only Razer mouse to come with the hyperpolling dongle in the box. That brings me to the polling rate performance. This mouse also has the best performance I have seen in terms of high polling rate. At 8k hz polling, it also has the best battery life I have measured. Many people will say that high polling rates are a gimmick, but I assure you that if you play at a high level with a high refresh rate monitor, you will most likely be able to tell the difference. If you are looking for a mouse for highly competitive shooters, I can’t recommend this enough. I bought it on a whim and am so happy I did.

Good shape, decent weight, battery life is great even in 4 and 8k polling. only gripe about the mouse is that the hyperpolling dongle that is included with the mouse only works with the v3 pro and not the other razer mice compatible with higher polling rates. the price is also a little bit on the steep end while there are other serviceable mice with similar wireless tech at about half the price. other than that its a mouse with a great shape and im sure anyone that picks it up will not be disappointed.

Build quality is 10/10, no flexing, or creaking, its solid and feels high end when using
Sensor is very good, its accurate, fast and no lag. No complaints and you can customize it in the software
mouse feet are very nice and fast. For stock skates, they are prob the best you can get straight out of the box
The buttons and clicks are nice and crispy, no mushy side buttons and a lighter switch. scroll feels high quality too.
Bc of the shape, its a very comfortable for long gaming sessions and never had it hurt or cramp my hand at all and perfect for all types of grips. I palm grip but if you claw or fingertip its perfectly fine for that too. The battery is solid. Do i wish it was a little bit stronger yea. But its still a very good battery and charges very fast with usb type c. Just remember that if you use a higher polling rate in the software your battery life will decrease but thats fine bc you don't need for than 2000hz bc anything more than that, you won't notice any diffrence.
A very good mouse and its great for the money. 9/10

I have been a long time Razer user with almost my entire PC eco system from keyboard to water cooling for my cpu. I currently have the Razer Viper V2 Pro Hyperspeed and with the new optical Viper V3 gaming mouse being released, I had to see if it was actually an upgrade. I can be honest, the V2 has had a bug with my system for the past 10 months, I would have to unplug the cable from the PC and plug it back in every time I let my PC go to sleep. The new V3 has already proven to me, the V2 did not like me or my PC.
Now, upon opening the small box, I pull out the sensor and then the piece of paper, lol, that is what the mouse feels like. When Razer says it is ultra lightweight, they should have put a label on it that says "We Swear There Is a Battery In It". I honestly thought they forgot the battery in the box, but no, it is just that lightweight.
The wireless speed of this mouse when tested with my reaction time was 103 milliseconds on average, the old V2 was just over 120 milliseconds, so there is a definite difference when I am using it, especially when playing FPS games. Please understand that these times were ran with my reaction time on movement speed and button clicks added up and averaged over 20 tests. Compared to my Wired mouse, we are within an average of 5 milliseconds on average, so I no longer need to use wired for gaming when fps versus click and movement speed is relative.
Connecting the Viper V3 Pro was an absolute breeze and finally never loses connectivity. I am so happy with that alone, no more frustration. The cord and pickup have a small footprint, basically, invisible to anyone looking at your desk. Razer's software is amazing in there eco system, I really enjoy the ease of using Razer. Yes, Razer is expensive and many people think they are overpriced, but when you have this entire ecosystem under one control, it makes it worth every penny especially with their amazing quality.
Thanks Razer for a great new Mouse option!

The Razer Viper V3 Pro is an absolute game-changer! As a serious gamer, I've tried numerous mice over the years, and this one stands out for all the right reasons. The precision and responsiveness are unparalleled, making it perfect for any gaming genre, from fast-paced shooters to strategic RPGs.
One of the standout features is the battery life. I was genuinely amazed at how long this mouse lasts on a single charge. Even with heavy daily use, I don't have to worry about constantly recharging it. This longevity is a huge plus for extended gaming sessions, ensuring I stay in the game without interruptions.
The ergonomic design is another highlight. It feels comfortable in hand, reducing fatigue during long hours of play. The lightweight build doesn't compromise on durability, and the customizable buttons provide an extra edge in gameplay.
Overall, the Razer Viper V3 Pro combines top-notch performance, exceptional battery life, and comfort, making it the ultimate choice for gamers. Highly recommended!

First off it is very light, at least from what ive used. The clicks are pretty nice and satisfying. Its very responsive. Its shape fits my hand well too. Shape is probably the most important thing to consider when buying a mouse. Its very subjective so I recommend going in store and trying the demo mice since you cant really tell if youll like it from a picture. It fits my hands great though so I recommend it.

Ive had 2 logitech gpro’s and 3 gpro superlight’s over the last 4 years or so and I loved them. One of my favorite pro gamers started using the viper v3 pro so I thought why not try it, and I actually really enjoyed the weight but mostly the feel in my hand since I have bigger hands. That was always one thing I found difficult with the gpro’s was just the grip factor. I think both mice are great but purely because of the size and weight I think i’ll stick to this mouse from here on unless a slightly larger g pro is added. Overall the sensor on this mouse is insane, charges rather quickly, the battery lasts a solid 12 hours of constant use, and I enjoy the grip tape it comes with! Definitely should buy this if youre looking to try an alternative to the g pro, or if you have bigger hands and want a lighter mouse with a great sensor!
