![]() However, the buttons themselves are a little thin and flimsy. The sensitivity of the left and right mouse buttons is bang on: I never misclicked, and equally it never failed to register when I pressed. It’s not hard to use, and I like having perceptible steps between each scroll, but it’s just felt a tad too tight when I was using it constantly, usually when scrolling through web pages. The scroll wheel is a little too stiff for my taste. It’s therefore not the best if you like to pile macros onto your mouse, or if you play MMOs and enjoy having your abilities mapped to different mouse buttons (I don’t personally fit into either of those categories, so two programmable buttons is enough for me, and fine for most types of game). It only has two programmable buttons on each side, one set for right-handers, one for left-handers, plus a click-in scroll wheel. The Viper Ultimate’s buttons don’t quite live up to its wireless tech or feel in the hand. But personally, I love how light it feels: it’s completely effortless to move, and its PTFE feet-it’s the same material as in non-stick pans-kept it skimming smoothly over any surface I threw at it. The Viper doesn't come with adjustable weights, so if you like a heavier mouse, it isn’t for you. Razer reckons it’s the lightest wireless mouse out there: it weighs 40g less than the Logitech G502 Lightspeed, and it’s a good 20g lighter than even the skinny Razer Mamba. The mouse coating is grippy and it feels solid in my hand, which is remarkable given that it weighs just 74g. I never felt any strain in my fingers, hand or wrist, even when I used it for hours and hours at a time. That said, the Viper is far from uncomfortable. Most mice built for a specific hand have an outside bulge where you rest your ring and little fingers: the slimline Viper doesn’t have that, and so those fingers have nowhere to naturally rest. However, I found it slightly less comfortable than my normal mouse, the Razer Deathadder Expert, which is just for right-handers. The symmetry adds to the Viper’s clean aesthetic, too: I like the dark, understated look, especially in contrast to the harsh angles and bright colours of some mice on the market. It’s ideal if you have two people using the mouse, one left-handed, one right. The light in the charging dock changes color depending on how charged the mouse is, which is a neat touch, and an easy way of seeing how much juice you’ve got left without Alt-Tabbing out of a game to open Razer Synapse.Īnother plus point, especially for left-handers, is that the Viper is an ambidextrous mouse, and you switch the left and right click commands with a simple toggle in Razer Synapse. Using it for days on end without having to worry about running out is handy, and it’ll go from 0 to 100% in roughly two hours when you charge it. In short, the battery life is impressive. However, I was using the “responsive” lighting setting, which illuminates the Razer logo on the mouse when you click: if you turned the light off entirely you could definitely squeeze more life out of it. When I measured it during intense gaming, I was draining around 2-3% per hour, which would pan out to somewhere between 35 and 50 hours of battery life. I used it as my main mouse for an entire week without it running out of battery. Razer claims it will last 70 hours between charges, and my experience wasn’t far off. The long-life battery means you can keep playing for days on end without worrying about charging. ![]() It even tracked well when I was using it on a sofa cushion. I used it on a soft mouse pad most of the time, which is the ideal set-up, but when I used it directly on my desk it still felt responsive. It weighs in at 74g without the cable and is approximately 126.7 x 66.2 x 37.8 mm (LxWxH).It tracked well on a variety of surfaces. ![]() The Viper Ultimate is considered to be an ambidextrous mouse. It uses uses either a Wired and Wireless connection with a 1.8 m cable, which is used for charging or cabled use. This results in a tracking speed of 650 ips, and a maximum acceleration of 50 G. The Viper Ultimate by Razer uses an Optical sensor from Razer, specifically the Focus+, providing a maximum DPI/CPI of 20,000 DPI (Default stages: 400/800/1600/2400/3200). It weighs in at 114 g without the cable, has up to 16 g weights and is approximately 132 x 75 x 40 mm (LxWxH). This results in a tracking speed of 400 IPS, and a maximum acceleration of 40 G. This is combined with a 32-bit ARM Microprocessor. The G502 Lightspeed by Logitech uses an Optical sensor, specifically the Hero, providing a DPI/CPI range of 100 - 16,000 DPI.
