Razer Viper Review - Competitive Gaming Mouse with Optical Switches

  • This mouse is amazing. It only weighs about 70 grams and doesn't even have holes, yet still feels solid. It has a super flexible soft cable, top optical sensor, optical switches, a medium sized ambidextrous very comfortable shell, buttons on both sides that don't get in the way and so much more.
    Basically if you were considering the Zowie FK1 or Glorious Model O, you should definitely give this one a look first. You don't even need to have Synapse installed!
    By the way, those gaps between the buttons feel fine, I was so unaware of them during use I totally forgot to mention that in the video.
    Great mouse, really happy to see Razer give us a competitive FPS mouse like this. Love it. Now to bug them for a smaller version and a larger version.

      Sorry was trying to go with RJN 3.0 measurements. Just off the top of my head without the mouse in front of me, I would say:
      Palm ... under 17.5cm
      Claw ... between 19.5 and 21.5cm
      Fingertip ... between 19.5 and 21.5cm
      If you rest your palm on the back of the mouse in claw grip, this mouse isn't too good because it's only 3.82cm with the hump toward the middle.

      Can't believe it was you that ruined a perfect mouse with the side button advice, terrible design advice, takes much longer to hit all Actives as a support in lol and it's so awkward to press, it literally takes you away from mouse movement. Bad move mate.

    I’m actually pretty surprised they managed to get the weight down to about the model o and remain at about the same size without adding any holes to the mouse. Leads me to believe that being smart with the structure of the mouse contributes a lot more than adding holes to it. Thoughts?

      Just behind where the mouse buttons begin, the entire bottom part is just a roof basically, and it has small bridges supporting the mouse buttons. The whole mouse is hollow with the back part being sturdy plastic and the buttons/sides being super light weight. It's a beautiful piece of engineering and holes are super lazy in comparison.

Now I'm on the Razer Viper after many months of the S2 and I can say again that flatter mice are for me.

      @@tomekl3476 I'ts a bit weird, but my Model O haven't gotten dirty like at all unlike my FK2 or S2. I think the surface material/texture is just better for my hand (I have matte one) and the holes let my hand breath a bit, as I kinda palm and claw it depending what I do with it.
      When you claw it you can't feel the holes anyway, as mostly the holes are in the position, where only your palm would touch them. Maybe it will get dusty overtime perhaps, but I doubt it is going to be a problem.
      Anyway, this looks like a really solid razer mouse overall! :)

    • @tomekl3476
      @tomekl3476 Před 5 lety

      Kankipappa to be honest i use fingertip grip while gaming and claw when chilling out. So i cant feel the holes at all. But i often get my mouse dirty because my hands get sweaty really fast and its quite common for me to spill something. I dont want to loose my great mouse just because water got into it. And i like this razer mouse. Its not like the rest of their products that dont fit me at all and are just focused on looks. This mouse is really something i wanted to have for a long time. No holes, great weight, great shape, great sensor, rubber pads, buttons are also cool and i like the look of it.

    I really need to thank u for the Content you provide us.
    My first real "Gaming Mice" was the Razer DeathAdder but after some weeks of playing with it, I thought something felt off, so I sold it.
    (I was pretty young and inexpierenced in what to look out for so... I wasn't the most intelligent back then)
    After that I bought the Zowie ZA12.
    I am using it for years now but I feel like that the little something isn't there.
    And then I found this Channel about a year ago and watched like everything that could help me find a better mouse.
    After some research I decided to give the G305 a try since it not only fitted my hand size (I have a 20cm length and 12cm width hand, so it sounds ridiculous but it really is so) on paper but also got a good, let's say "score" from you.
    And so I bought the mice and tested it but after some time, I thought my ZA was still better, so I send it back.
    Now after I watched this Video I think, I found a mice that may be worth giving a try again.
    I really want to thank you for giving us such great Information about not only mices but also gaming equipment in general.

    @Revelatus Před 4 lety +4

    I have the ultimate, so not sure if this is an issue with the regular viper or not, by my right click felt pretty squeeky/crunchy/mushy out of the box. I gave it a couple days and it didn't improve. So I carefully took the mouse apart and tested the bare switches which both felt great, so narrowed it down to the buttons themselves. I observed a small peg just under the center of each button that passes through a hole in the rest of the body. I assume this acts as a stabilizer that prevents the buttons from moving left and right, but the right side was rubbing on the inside of the hole. I added a drop of some teflon lubricant, and my mouse feels perfect now. I've seen a lot of people complaining about mushy clicks on this mouse, so I hope this helps somebody. Cheers

      I also noticed the mushyness of the clicks on my razer viper, I returned my first one and the 2nd one I got feels a bit better. Although if there is room to improve this further I would like to take advantage of it. How the heck did you take the thing apart? There aren't any screws as far as I cant tell. Can you add some lubrication directly underneath each mouse button?

      @Revelatus Před 4 lety +1

      @@freedomfighter8883 the screws are located under the mouse feet. If you use a hair dryer or heat gun to carefully remove them, you can put them back on no problem. Just be careful with the heat gun, it will start melting stuff really fast if you aren't experienced with using them. The post I'm talking about can easily be seen once you take the top of the mouse body off and look at the underside of the plastic buttons themselves. Not the switches, but the buttons that you fingers rest on.

  • @oOZdemOo

    tbh I really like the holes on my model O as a design feature. I do not feel them at all in a claw grip.
    I've had 2 razer Taipans for 6 years before getting my model O and I was very satisfied however, So if I wa in the market for a new mouse I'd consider it.
    Off topic: The model O I got is a flawed product, the DPI swith is stuck and does not work. I don't use it so I don't care, but keep in mind that the model O's price comes with some trade offs, such as good QC.

    • @roydaniels1284

My Model O works fine while I had 2 Logitech G Pro Wireless', 3 G903's, 1 G703 with every single one of them having double clicking issue after 1st use. So I don't think it's the company and their QC when I trust them more than fucking Logitech. As you can see I trusted them more then 6 TIMES, never buying shit from them again, it's just brand you pay for.

    Used a razer deathadder (which was to big and the hump was annoying), Nixeus Revel ( Almost perfect but it felt narrow), and at the moment Logitech G305 ( also narrow).
    I play csgo 90% of time. And my grip is either palm or a hybrid of claw and finger tip. Any recommendations would be helpful.

      @cypruslavigne7419 Před 5 lety +6

      Hey there's always $10 mice you can buy from a corner-store. Those people that are bitching are more than welcome to use one of those. It's a gaming mouse, designed specifically for high-level competitive gaming. They are made to have maximum efficiency with movement detection, suited for accuracy, and have extra buttons that many fps games rely on. They act like these are just mass produced out of some Chinese factory a million at a time. The wireless ones, like the Logitech ones, are especially tricky because you have to perfect all of their sensors because otherwise most wireless mice have an input lag on them. Even if it's minimal, milliseconds matter in fps games. People are just mad that they can't buy high-end gaming gear on EBT.

    • @MarkoLomovic

      Logitech is not charging 150 that is probably only for wireless versions. I don't know who these people are who say it is expensive but 70-80 is right prices for mice anything above that is expensive since you can buy some of best mice out that for that price. You would have to offer something extremely special in order to justify it.

      Well thumb buttons are quite dependent on grip style and hand size, of course. I've yet to use the Viper, but I've used most of the older Razer ambidextrous mice (even some from other brands like Mionix), and probably the tiniest and most stealthy side buttons I've seen are the ones in the original Diamonbacks, they were so tiny (it was actually just one button but with rock-like actuation), and they put small bumpy-dots over them so people could actually feel them, and personally got used to clicking them, even with the pinky finger, and even played MMOs with it, like WoW, using the 4 side buttons for active skills, so it's possible to use small side buttons...if your hand is able to, of course.
      So honestly, I don't see the Viper buttons being much harder to hit, it's all about muscle memory, to be honest, but of course some hand sizes won't be as comfortable on this type of side buttons as others...only if you have used similar mice in the past you can only start to guess, looking at the video and pictures.
