Product Information

Maximize your unfair advantage with Razer Synapse 3, the unified cloud-based hardware configuration tool that takes your Razer devices to the next level. Get access to advanced options and granular control as you rebind buttons, assign macros, personalize device lighting andmore. If you are using a laptop, please make sure it is plugged into a wall outlet and not just running on battery before proceeding. I also love the Speedflex cable. It’s lightweight and very flexible, which eliminated the need for a mouse bungee. It’s right up there with Cooler Master’s Ultraweave and Glorious PC Gaming Race’s proprietary cables, and is as close to wireless as a wired mouse can offer at this point.

Born to push the very limits of ultra-lightweight gaming, the Razer Viper Mini takes up a smaller form that remains just as big in performance. Shortening its length and grip width, we’ve worked with enthusiasts and esports athletes to hone its design even further, ensuring that absolute control now belongs in the hands of more gamers—so take hold of our leanest and lightest gaming mouse yet.Gamer Network Limited, Gateway House, 28 The Quadrant, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 1DN, United Kingdom, registered under company number 03882481. Note: for the purposes of this article, we consider an ultra-light mouse as any mouse that weighs 80 grams or below - although the lightest mice often weigh considerably less. Both honeycomb and traditional body gaming mice are eligible for inclusion. For comparison's sake, most standard mice weigh at least 100 grams; the popular Logitech G502 Hero weighs over 120 grams. Furthermore, there aren't really any components under the holes that would be affected by dirt - just a PCB and potentially RGB lighting, with moving elements like button switches generally covered up. I wouldn't advise eating messy foods or spilling drinks onto an ultra-light mouse, but I wouldn't recommend that with any other kind of computer peripheral either. If you're concerned about this, consider traditional full-body mice like the Roccat Kone Pure Ultra, Endgame Gear XM1 or Logitech G Pro Wireless. Name aside, the Viper Mini is small but still bigger than your average laptop mouse, so you shouldn’t be too worried about the overall size. It’s a close match to the Logitech G305, for example, but sat next to the original Razer Viper, it’s clear at a glance that Razer has slimmed the mouse down across every dimension. It’s a full half-inch narrower in the center of its hourglass shape, a third of an inch shorter, and just a touch lower at the palm. Razer recommends the mouse for palm and claw grips and it’s easy to see why. It may not look like much on paper, but it definitely feels much smaller in the hand. Before you can put on a show for your stream, customize how you want to do it with the Streamer Companion App—where you can create unique audience interactions with supported Razer hardware. Design your own unique emoticons and lighting effects with the app’s editor and take advantage of Razer Chroma for its suite of signature lighting effects with 16.8 millioncolors.

Bring your PC desktop to life with premium high quality enhanced wallpapers. Tons of wallpapers to choose from and every wallpaper syncs with Razer Chroma™ RBG lighting effects. Both the mouse and dongle are paired together by default, so no additional setup is required. As this dongle is programmed specifically for the Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition, it cannot be unpaired and paired with another Razermouse. Once a month, we recommend unplugging the device from the computer and cleaning it using the micro-fiber cleaning cloth or a cotton swab included with the mouse. Do not use soap or harsh cleaning agents. Use a compressed air duster or canister to completely blow out and remove any dust or debris from hard-to-reach areas inside themouse.

For example, my hand size is 200mm x 100mm, so I personally look for mice that are around 120mm x 60mm. Different grip styles can also influence your ideal mouse size; claw and fingertip grips will hover around the 60 per cent mark, while palm grips are flatter and therefore mice that are closer to 70 per cent of your hand size will feel more comfortable.

I can’t say that the Viper Mini made me three times as fast, but the switches are still fantastic. I’m a big Battlefield fan, and the M1 Garand is my guilty pleasure weapon. The Mini let me fire off single-shots as fast as I could press. My main mouse, the Viper Ultimate, costs nearly four times as much and has all of the cutting edge features you would expect in a flagship mouse. The Mini made me feel like I was sacrificing nothing in responsiveness.

I don't think it matters. I've been testing ultra-light mice since May 2019 and I can't see any visible dust or dirt in even my oldest mice. I also haven't noticed any change in performance over time. If I do, I will update this article accordingly. Eurogamer.net is owned by Gamer Network Limited, a ReedPop company and subsidiary of Reed Exhibitions Limited. I love that the all of the areas that you grip don't have any holes in them, and that Xtrfy has also coated the internals to provide water and dust protection. The mouse creaks a little when held tightly, and the cable has frayed slightly where it rubbed on the sharp edge of a crummy mouse pad, but neither are genuine issues - I have zero qualms about the build quality here. The mouse can be configured entirely using on-board controls too, no software required. By default, you can adjust the lift-off distance, debounce delay and DPI setting, as well as customise everything about the lighting, from effect and colour to brightness and speed. This works nicely, and the key used for making most changes can be set as the F11 key afterwards so that it can be rebound to be used in games - handy! Here's how the mice rank in terms of weight alone, plus some other key specifications - such as the sensor on board and dimensions. We've also classified the designs in two dimensions: "honeycomb" or "traditional" based on whether they have external holes and "ambidextrous" or "ergonomic" based on whether the left and right sides of the mouse are similar shapes. Symmetric mice are the only viable option for left-handers, but many right-handers prefer this style as well. Mouse
