- Razer have updated their Viper mouse lineup with the release of the V3 Pro. This new model has seen a slight change to the design principles found in older models of the Viper, with the new version opting for curves and contours over aggressive lines and detailing. Can this new premium esports FPS mouse live up to its £159.99 price tag? read more here: bit.ly/4cGiWwu

please report any spam you see - we get rid of it as soon as we can. Let us know what you think about this new Razer mouse - would you buy it?
Surely they could still make good money on these selling them for £100. But £160 ?
You can buy a Kysona M600, or Attack Shark X3 Pro. For a little over $20... And they're nearly as good as the Razer or a Logitech X Pro Superlight. You won't notice a difference at all, if you're not a person that's running really high DPI.
Yeah it’s a good point
It’s Stupid money really
Hard to justify this. But if you like it and can afford it. Why not.
I don’t know how UK prices are set but in USA it’s much much cheaper at 150$ or 118 pounds.
All was great till I heard that price. I get they charge more like Corsair and I don’t mind to an extent but do people really still pay this kind of money for a gaming mouse ? Clearly they do. But there are so many great mice for under 100.
What would you go for instead?
@@KitGuruTech Logitech for me everytime
@@KitGuruTech Im actually using the Keychron mouse that they started selling ago. I am clearly not good enough to need anything more as im enjoying gaming on it, and its like a portion of the price of this. I love this Razer mouse, no doubt its better, but it is £100 better? I doubt it. I see you have the keychron keyboard in your backdrop, have you tried the keychron mouse yet?
@@Francioslusi-kg6cx No I've not tried the mouse, I'll maybe pick one up to have a look at. We have a review of the board you spotted (Q1 Max) coming soon :) - Mat
Awesome !!
The Viper V3 Pro is a fantastic mouse. It, along with the Lamzu Maya, did not leave my desk until the new Deathadder V3 Hyperspeed came out. Now that has been my main. Razer is killing it lately. Also, to those commenting on the price, they also make the Viper V3 Hyperspeed, which has the same shape but uses a AA battery instead of a rechargeable battery, and has mechanical instead of optical switches, but at less than half the price ($55 on US Amazon as of right now).
I would buy this, mice usually last me years, my last Razer one still works and its 3 years old and used almost daily
Oh I have an older version of this almost identical shape, I love their mice - never had any issues either !
The Mamba?
I found a mouse that fits my hand that fortunately had been sold for years so I was able to find them refurbished for $35. I bought four of them and rotate using them when they need to be recharged. I have already repaired a scroll wheel and a wireless dongle quite working, but I still have 3 dongles and four mice that work.
I don't spend much on mice cause they always fail too quickly, so I bought a model that I can repair fairly easily or dispose of without losing $100 or more.
The mice are great for my hands(the mouse and my hands are large and the mouse is on the heavier side). I was having pain in the hands and along with desk swivel arm supports that support the elbow, the wrist and hand pain are now mostly gone. I don't notice it unless I concentrate on it.
That’s a clever way of doing it !
I rephrased my comment. I originally said the hand/wrist pain was gone. Then being not smartest person in the room, I moved my fingers quickly and rotated my hands quickly and yep it's still there, though minor. But normal hand use on a pc my hands feel fine.
I thought gaming was over with a mouse and keyboard and it's my main in the house pastime now that I am retired. This fix kept me going. Maybe this solution will help someone someday if they experience it and read this.
Thanks for sharing man
@@theonlyredspecial You're welcome. I also found out that the larger size ceramic feet can help with a larger, heavier mouse to make it glide easily. But only when ceramic feet are used on a good quality(slick) mouse pad. Cheap mouse pads not so much. I use a Benq Zowie TF-X mouse pad but there has to be others that work well with the ceramic feet.
The pre and post travel looks amazing Mat, such a big deal to me, not many people cover that, and thanks for the noise tests too
My pleasure!
Makes a lot of sense. If it cost £90 not £160 !
I always liked the Viper mice - good products, just a bit expensive for what you get IMO.
Agreed
Yeah a bit indeed 😂
I have been unlucky with Razer, I wouldnt say I am hard on their mice at all, but I have now had 3 fail so I have decided to buy other brands which is a shame as they are really good to use.
Their build quality has always been lacking.
the buttons and lack of wobble get my vote for a quality product
The weight and responsiveness are spot on. Razer nailed it with the Viper V3 Pro
Just got the Viper V3 Pro, and it's a beast. Can't recommend it enough for FPS enthusiasts!
Great review mat as always. Button clicks sound nice and crisp 🤘🏻
Finally found my go-to mouse for competitive gaming. The V3 Pro is a game-changer!
Nice you spent a bit of time with it - thanks for the coverage, was wondering if this was good enough, but £160 is madness
its not cheap !
Absolutely loving the precision on the Razer Viper V3 Pro! 🔥 Perfect for FPS games.
Their software puts me off, but I didnt know you could install it, set it up then deinstall it, thats handy to know thanks man
Excellent review thanks mat, job well done
I've had mine for just over a month. And I bought the white version. Which some have said has a better coating. I've added grip tape anyway. Which was supplied with the mouse.
I like the shape, the switches, and how light it feels in my hand. Expensive yes, but it will go on sale later this year, I'm sure.
Good info thanks for sharing
Keychron keyboard in the background well done on that purchase !
Wow that really glides around! Want that glass mouse pad too now.
Great review mat, love that keyboard too, I hope you review it soon!
Thanks - Review of the Q1 Max coming soon! :)
@@KitGuruTech Welcome!!
For FPS gaming, this is one of the best you can get on the market today
did you buy one?
That was a really fair, level headed approach, maybe it helped you never reviewed a Viper before, cause it was very good to watch. Its just too much money for what you get. but its good
Glad you enjoyed it!
The Calibration tab in this software package always works well, but I hate the adverts - did know you could turn them off thanks !!
no problem!
@@KitGuruTech
Awesome content Kitguru, thanks for the analysis of the mouse, but I dont think I can justify paying £160
Love this mouse. Brother got it for his birthday. It’s really smooth on a good hard mat
Great review thanks
Glad you enjoyed it :)
The fact you didnt review any before was interesting, good to come in fresh. Do you not think £160 is just too much for any mouse?
I like the shape of this, will suit my hand well
Looks like they have really put a lot of effort into their software suite its very impressive.
Great review Mat, I agree, it is an excellent mouse, bought one a few weeks ago
good to hear you are happy with it
@@KitGuruTech Welcome!
Super review, covered all the bases
Thanks!
@@KitGuruTech Welcome!
great review mat 😊
Thanks! 😀
Love the shape, really comfortable looking for my hand shape
excellent thanks for the comment
Had the V1 but it was starting to not hold a charge after 3-4 years. Went to Microcenter to pick up my Asus PG32UCDM and saw that they were up to V3. Picked it up on a whim and so far it's a nice upgrade.
Yeah that’s the same mouse I’ve used for while
That high polling rate battery life is amazing. Cant believe it uses up the battery that fast.
Love that mouse mat that Mat has got there.
The DPI settings now are becoming a bit silly
I like the shape
Great review thanks mat.
Glad you enjoyed it
I love Razer mice, but I hate paying the prices
I like Razer, always make some great gaming keyboards and mice
Like the closeups of that mouse as it shows its quite a premium product.
I've been a fan of the deathadders since they worked on the Microsoft Habu. I might get the wireless version next time.
Good mice
Great gaming mice - really recommend Razer products, good software too, like Corsairs
Classy looking mouse, I havent bought a Razer mouse in years
Keychron have a new mouse out Mat, to match your keyboard - a man of taste I see !
I might have to check it out!
@@KitGuruTech 💗💗
I like their mice, just never liked the pricing. but this one seems good - thanks mat
No problem - It's a very, very good mouse - Mat
Thanks mat. I’m starting to understand you better now !
No worries!
I agree, this mouse is amazing. However one thing you probably did test was the durability of the PTFE feet. On the atlas glass pad the feet only lasted less than 150 hours.
I've been using it on a Skypad 3 since I got it for review and the feet show a small amount of wear and tear but they're still going strong. It's been about two months since I started using it now - Mat
@@KitGuruTech yes I think the atlas pad has more friction than the SP3, leading to more aggressive material loss.
Good shape for my hand, but how much is it? Did I miss that?
That scroll wheel looks nice.
Good review, cant understand some of what the bloke is saying, but the software support looks good
Sorry you can’t understand the accent !
I've been using the Mamba 2012 since... 2012... flawless but it's time for an upgrade I think. I think it's funny this viper seems to have a similar design; i've been waiting for something like the Mamba to come back. But, I do love the tiny RGB hint on the mamba...
Anyway, maybe this is the one.
Hope it works out well if you buy it 👍🏻
@@KitGuruTech Have you tried the Cobra? I think this was recommended as a replacement to the Mamba
really good looking mouse, my shape, nice and light, - might be tempted. sometimes they go on sale. 160 might be asking a bit much, I hate paying over 100 for any mouse.
I still love my Corsair Dark Core, no inclination of changing anytime soon, try and make them last at least 2 years before changing unless I get bored or something turns me on
Wish they would open source their software.
Thanks Mat, good review, I think I might skip this one, logitech do good mice at less than half this price and nothing wrong with them either
Thanks, glad you liked it! :)
Mat has got like the best job in the world. Review gaming stuff for you guys. Where can I apply?
Those side buttons look really solid.b
I like the mouse but I agree with some of the comments, its a £100 mouse, and id buy it. will wait for an amazon black friday or christmas sale to see if I can pick it up at the proper price !!
this 4000hz polling rate - never tried it, surely it makes some difference? anyone tried it ?
Quite cool the auto polling rate increase for gaming.
If you run on Linux for example what is the software support for that?
OK I cant get over that price tag. Who do they think they are? Apple?
That’s really nice. Love that shape but my wife is left handed so useless as we share same computer
Setting the software up is a bit of a pain I find, but its ok once you get used to it
That white mat is awesome, what is it ? mat ?
Skypad 3.0 XL
👍👍
Pretty good looking mouse. Not sure why so many people are surprised it’s so expensive. Has no one been watching Razer prices for years ? 😀
Is it possible to connect the razer viper v3 pro to any console?
I prefer Synapse to iCUE, always had more success with it and less CPU drain too, iCUE is a hog
What are those speakers you are using ? Edifier? is that a chrome finish? !
Edifier QR65s - They have infinity mirror style baffles
lovely mouse really well thought out. its a flagship mouse from a flagship brand. its not going to be cheap. people need to realise that.
So you don’t mind paying the price ?
Optical switches sound really good, very clicky
We like the switches
@@KitGuruTech 😁😁😁
Amazing for a flagship as its got a really restrained design.
This or Corsair ? anyone got a recommendation for iCUE against Synapse? whats better?
Best trying both for yourself if you can.
Nice review mat. Too expensive for me that mouse
Glad you enjoyed it!
4000hz when gaming, does it actually really make any difference at all? I doubt it but would love to hear
Some people say they feel a difference. Only way to know is to try yourself.
@@KitGuruTech Your Correct
Without thumb rest not sure id like this love my Logitech.
How does this compare to to the Corsair DarkCore SE?
I've not tried that mouse to compare unfortunately - Mat
What is that massive white mat you use ? its huge!
Skypad 3.0 XL
@@KitGuruTech 🤍🤍🤍
idk why razer gave this mouse a symmetrical shape, but only the left side has buttons when the right side doesn't
in previous iterations of the viper, both sides had buttons
Yes good point.
I remember the ball mice that Apple used to sell, square, cabled, and you moved a ball in the middle. how things have changed
Thankfully 😀
Wow they are certainly not shy charging for this one. 😮
I like the subtle branding, but my razer logo wore off on my old mouse ! ive clearly harsh skin
It wore off ?
I have had so many Razer mice and almost all of them has failed inside 12 months, or just outside 12 months. I think im just too rough on them, yet ive an old logitech thats still going.
That’s bad to hear thanks for sharing
@@KitGuruTech Welcome!
Those polling rates seem excessive for an average use, battery gets killed too, so its pointless IMO
I am sticking with my Logitech - sorry Razer !
that white pad is massive! what is it?
It's a Skypad 3.0 XL 👍🏻
Attack shark r1 is the same same same even the size and i paid 12$ for it...damn, AliExpress for the win!
2:34 Can someone please tell me what game is that?
Call of Duty MW3 (2023) 👍
@@KitGuruTech Thank you!!!
How light is it? I like a very light mouse my hand gets sore, need more time in the gym
54g
With those battery drain rates they should have included a magnetic charging dock like the Viper Pro.
Yes good idea
How do you know its a gaming mouse? I cant see any rgb on there whatsoever.
I prefer a more ergonomic shape that is shaped to my hand.
The price is always ridiculous, its like Corsair Tax- over the top
