Review on πŸ–±οΈ Razer Viper Mini Ultralight Gaming Mouse: High-Speed Gaming Switches - 8500 DPI Optical Sensor - Chroma RGB Underglow Lighting - 6 Programmable Buttons - Drag-Free Cord - Classic Black by John Boyce

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The Razer Viper Mini has taken over my desk and now the Ultimate has taken the place of the Mini.

Update after 1 year: After a year this is still my favorite mouse and I have bought many more mice since then. These include the G Pro Superlight as well as the Aerox 3 Wireless (Model D minus, M42, XM1r and many more). This is still the mouse I work best with. I use a non-aggressive claw grip that is simply better than any other mouse. Aside from the grip, no component of the mouse or dock has been downgraded. I still wish the M1 and M2 had 5g more tension and a little more feedback when pressing. I would also like to be able to set the artificial debounce time for optical switches. I regularly outperform my other mice with this mouse in Valorant, with the NP-01, GPX, and M42 coming in second, third, and fourth. The Aerox only showed up yesterday so can't post it, especially until I have the aftermarket legs because those asses suck, but the shape is similar and could very well be. RVU still reigns supreme. Update: About 5 months after purchasing the Viper Ultimate, I've found myself playing it as the best of my entire collection. At first I thought the Mini was better, but I'm a bit imprecise with it. At the moment I'm alternating between RVU and Vaxee Zygen NP 01 for Valorant (which is my favorite) with Mini as my fast mouse for Apex and similar games. Since the Viper Ultimate, including the dock, is currently $99 in honor of Black Friday, I say jump on it. Mini is $29! right now, which is literally insane. I'm having a hard time finding a mouse I play better with. I play Shooters, Atm Valorant, CSGO, Destiny 2, Apex Legends (not much since the Ghost nerfs) and a bit of Overwatch here and there. I use g305 and I love it. I bought this and started throwing punches that I couldn't before. The handle took some getting used to at first, but I like it now. So much so that I bought the Viper Ultimate and can safely say I like the Mini much better. My medium sized hands are 19cm x 9cm and I alternate between claws and fingertips. It's very light and the weight distribution is good. M1,2,3,4 are really good, no play or problems. The cable is very light and flexible, I use it with a Razer Bungie v2 and to be honest sometimes I forget it's wired. The skates are some of the best stocks I've seen. The sensor is very accurate and the resolution error is probably one of the best (I'd have to check). Don't be fooled by the Razer brand or the $40 price tag, this is a premium product. Now I want to sell my weekly $150 Ultimate because it's not beating its $40 little brother. Trust me if you are looking for one of the top 3 mice. This is one of them.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
