Razer Viper Ultimate Lightweight Wireless Gaming Mouse & RGB Charging Dock: Hyperspeed Wireless Technology – 20K DPI Optical Sensor – 74g Lightweight – 70 Hr Battery – Mercury White

Lighter and nicer to use than expected
I’ve been using Razer products for a number of years, in particular mice. This is hands down the best Razer mouse I’ve used so far and possibly the best mouse I’ve used as well. I haven’t been on the bandwagon for lighter and lighter weight mice. Now I might have to jump on that train because the Viper Ultimate is so shockingly light I have a hard time believing that it still works. Previously I had the Razer Taipan and perceptually it’s about 2.5 times heavier. The transition over has taken a bit of time to get used to but I do like it. It does feel like you can rapidly change the direction the mouse is moving without much effort and it could lead to better performance playing shooters in particular.Both the Taipan and the Viper Ultimate have rubber grips on the sides of the mouse, and I think It’s a really nice feature of both. I’ve used wireless mice in the past, a Microsoft one that failed me several times in the heat of battle that used AAA batteries. I was really unsure about using a wireless mouse again but I figured it was about time to try one again, possibly the technology has improved over the years and certainly it has. I was tempted by the Razer Orochi v2 but I didn’t want to be buying batteries over and over. I think the Viper Ultimate is a bit better for my personal preferences and I really do like it. I was watching some YouTube videos analyzing the latency differences between current wireless mice and wired mice. For the first time I think wireless mice are so competitive with wired mice its there is no major reason to be using a wired mouse outside of cost. The Razer Viper Ultimate is a great example of this. There may be a valid argument that the Viper 8k has superior performance over the Viper Ultimate Wireless but the mice refresh rate is so far above what most monitors can display at 1000Hz pooling rate It doesn’t feel like there is a major reason to be concerned about it. Not only that but I’ve heard the processing required to keep track of the cursor at 8000Hz actually drops your in game frame rate by about 3-4 frames per second (depending on your hardware configuration of course). I don’t see the benefit of a 8000Hz pooling rate right now. In the end I think it’s a great time to transition to a wireless mouse if your interested in it and are able to afford it.I purchased the version of the Viper Ultimate which included the dock and I’m glad I did. The dock has a magnet on it which makes far easier to rest the mouse on the dock in the correct position for it to charge and you really just don’t have to think about dropping the mouse on the dock, the convenience is great. My only complaint about the dock is that it’s so light that sometimes I pull up on the mouse and the dock actually lifts off my desk because the magnet is strong enough to carry the weight of the dock for a few seconds before it drops. I guess the engineers of the mouse decided to add a sticky pad on the bottom of the dock to help with this but I think this is a lame solution. A weighted dock design would be far superior in my opinion and hopefully it will be included in a future release. I don’t like the thought of a sticky pad on my desk, it might make a gross sticky mess (which thankfully it hasn’t) and possibly will become a hard dusty mass in a few years time anyway. That’s really my biggest complaint with the mouse/dock combo.A minor issue I have with the mouse itself is the Teflon feet. I wish there was a larger Teflon pad at the back end of the mouse, or maybe two separate feet that are larger that covers that back end area a bit better. In the past I’ve used mice for years and years on end before replacing them and the back end of the mouse get’s the most feet pad wear (at least for me). I feel like the Viper Ultimate may not last as long just because the back end feet are not significant enough and they are positioned far to the sides of the mouse, to the point I’ll be lifting the mouse up off the mousepad surface and then setting it down, back down back end first and dragging the plastic of the mouse on the plastic mousepad surface for a few moments before the Teflon feet make contact with the mousepad. This is not ideal in my opinion.Razer synapse, I personally don’t mind running software in the background for peripherals as long as it doesn’t take up too many system resources and Synapse doesn’t. I HATE the way one has to log into an account to make use of some of the features. No mouse should require one to create an account to make full use of a mouse, that is a garbage idea for user convenience. I personally think convenience should be prioritized over most aspects of a products design and this causes me anger every time the synapse software asks me for the password that I usually have forgotten in the weeks that go by where I don’t have to enter the password. Even if I tell it to remember my password the Synapse software still asks me for my password from time to time (I think when it does an update). It’s difficult for me to put into words how rage inducing this is, mostly because it feels so unnecessary. The software should remember your password no matter what, #1 and #2 you should not need to create an account to make use of mouse software, It’s trash on two fronts. Okay, Razer is a business and they feel like they require minor tracking of their customer base so they can make better business decisions and satisfy customers. I don’t like it at all but hypothetically I can understand. Message to Razer: Make the Synapse software remember your log in info no matter what. This software design is just as important as your hardware design work. For over half of the use of my Razer Taipan I didn’t use Synapse at all because it was such a pain in the rear end to make sure I’m logged in all the time. This may indeed only be an issue with the older version of Synapse, so far I haven’t had this issue since purchasing the Viper Ultimate. I really hope Razer has resolved this and I no longer will be plagued with login requests.In the end very few products are perfect and it is hard to fault the Viper Ultimate Wireless with very much. I think it’s a product worth buying and I’m glad I purchased it, I hope it will last me a few years and be a valuable part of my gaming hardware arsenal. If you are at all on the fence about purchasing this mouse, I wouldn’t hesitate too much, its pretty awesome overall. It is a bit more pricy compared to some wired options but I do prefer wireless over a corded mouse even with a cord bungie (which are really great by the way). Definitely consider the Viper Ultimate Wireless mouse if your in the market for a mouse, It’s a great option in my opinion, despite my complaints.

Exceptional Precision and Speed with a Sleek Charging Solution
The Razer Viper Ultimate Wireless Gaming Mouse has exceeded all my expectations. Its lightweight design makes it incredibly easy to maneuver, providing lightning fast response times with Razer’s Hyper speed wireless technology. As a gamer, I appreciate the precise accuracy and the customizable DPI settings, which allow for perfect control in any situation.The included RGB charging dock is not only stylish but also incredibly convenient. It keeps the mouse charged and ready to go, with the added bonus of customizable lighting that syncs beautifully with the rest of my setup.The battery life is impressive, lasting through extended gaming sessions without needing a recharge. Overall, this mouse offers everything a serious gamer needs speed, precision, and a hassle-free wireless experience.

I don’t normally write reviews but in total I have purchased this mouse 4 times. (two for myself and the other two for my siblings)This truly is the best wireless mouse in the market. I have yet to come across a mouse this comfortable, easy to use, fully customizable, and with long lasting battery.When I first received the mouse I remember I had some difficulties setting up because there is a wire from the docking station that you need to insert properly (the cord was loose) otherwise your mouse will not charge. I also had issues with the razer synapse application but once you figure everything else out this mouse is the ONLY mouse you need.No wires no worries about battery being low. This is the mouse for our future.I haven’t loved a product this much in a long time and I have to say this mouse has changed my life. The way that I game and the way that I work. I can take this mouse anywhere with me without worrying about battery life. My charging dock is in my room and if I need to go on-site for work (as I work from home) I just need to bring the mouse and ensure that the USB is plugged in. I have recommended this product to a few friends and the friends who have gone out of there way to purchase this cannot believe a mouse like this exists. Razer you have truly outdone yourself. This is a genius of a product and to turn a blind eye to this product just because you cannot understand how this works is insane. High quality, flexible, long lasting battery and comfortable. Incredible for gaming and work use. You really do not need any other mouse.this is a 5/5 product for me.

Die Maus ist jetzt schon länger im einsatz. Vorwiegend für Gaming. Schnelle Reaktion. Lange Akku leistung. Hält den Tag durch und wird dann über Nacht geladen. Die Tasten sind immer noch alle in Ordnung. Für mich Perfekt.
