I agree with the Viper. I bought so many trash mice and had problems on every single one. Went from a GPX2 with broken scroll wheel (2 different units) to a ULX Lion with naaasty click wobble side to side (2 different units too) to a Beast X Medium with ridiculously bad battery life that lasted me 4 hours on any polling rate higher than 1k to a OP1 8k which was honestly an amazing mouse but way too thin for my hands and now I'm on the Viper V3 Pro and it just is perfect. There is not a single complain even after months of using it now. No QC issues, extremely great coating, performance is Top 3 in all metrics, shape is amazing. It's just the product to choose if you can somewhat afford the price. It's so extremely reliable and for me that's the biggest factor now after having so many faulty products. If it works it works, I don't see any reason swapping away from this for years from now.

Funny, I like the clicks on my Sora V2 better than any other mouse I've ever tried, by far. They're quiet/deep sounding, feel great, are spammable, and have very little side to side movement. For reference I have used the Lamzu Thorn, Lamzu Atlantis, Delux M900 Pro, Deathadder V2 Pro, Deathadder V3 Pro, Viper V3 Pro, Endgame Gear OP1 8k, Pwnage Stormbreaker, Attack Shark R3, Pulsefire Haste, Glorious Model O, and Logitech Superlight, and I keep going back to the Sora.

[@sour_candy9555]

I haven't tried the SV2, but that checks out! Especially compared to the rest of your list, like the Atlantis- heavier clicks, very loud "clicky" sound. I like it both ways, but this makes me want to give the Sora V2 a try

It’s so hard to say what the overall best mouse would be because as a girl with fingertip grip the razer v3 is DREADFUL to use for me despite the great design and software. I am very aware it’s amazing but I unfortunately can’t play with it. The best overall mouse for ME (after tons of research) was G-Wolves HT-S2 8K. So if any girls with fingertip grip is seeing this comment. THAT mouse would be perfect for you (also comes in clear violet which I think is way cuter than most of these)

[@rberger5603]

Found the perfect budget mouse for you to review: The ATK (formerly VXE, formerly Dragonfly) Blazing Sky X1 Pro (& pro max & pro ultra), 49-54 grams, 3950 sensor, 8k, Nordic 5240 Controller, Omron opitcal micro switches. A very close clone to the Razer Viper V3 pro. You are a big fan of VXE's R1 pro (Seal of Approval), so you might really love this ATK/VXE X1 Pro mouse too. It looks like a real winner, maybe even seal of approval caliber. Actually, I really want to get this mouse - but want a good review of it before I buy. lmao

[@macleod1592]

I recently picked up a Viper and dude I absolutely love this thing! It's by far the best I've ever used, and I'm coming from a DAv3 which I dearly loved. The sensor, the switches, the shape, the weight and of course, the coating. This is the best feeling mouse I've ever touched. If it broke right now, I'd go out and drop another $150 on one in a second.

[@EscBackspace]

So ive been on the hunt for my perfect mouse for about 3 and half years. Trying all different brands too narrow down what I liked/disliked. Viper Mini, Puslefire haste, Burst pro, Hati s, Viper V2, Starlight 12, MZ1, Superlight, X2, X2H, Atlantis Mini, etc.. Only now after trying the Zowie U2 have I found my perfect mouse. Yes it limited to 1k hertz, but idk I've tried plenty of 4k mice on a 240hz monitor, and just never really cared for the difference outside of killing the battery. Outside of that, its my perfect mouse. ( but yea getting Corepads, or some new skates did make it feel better )

I love the R1 Pro, it's one of the best budget mice I've tried. I dropped it twice around 3 feet above the ground, and it still works fine. The battery is quite okay, it could last a week on 1k without performance mode at 12 hours of usage daily.

[@harjoat]

For any fellow VV3P owners who are having the annoying sensor issue; set your LOD to maximum in synapse. It solves the tracking issue. (No it has not been fixed in firmware, I have updated to the latest version already)

[@GanDtech]

My 2 copies never had any issues to begin with luckily

[@alkestos]

tthe latest recent firmware update fixed my tracking issue. never had anything to do with LOD.

[@escapenguin]

I have an OG Sora and it's probably my favorite fingertip mouse. The narrow width you don't like is what makes these types of mice easier to fingertip IMO. But, to see the new one has those issues is surprising... especially since the old one is so solid. Hopefully it was a bad unit.

[@drakebane9527]

Boardzy I would love to know your stance on using 4k & 8k sensors being declared a straight up downgrade because it's being found that the step up in responsiveness is so astronomically low as compared to 1k or 2k. And to add to that 4k and 8k requires a lot of CPU power causing pretty bad frame drops for low and mid send pcs. Thoughts?

[@zndxt1970]

No point in getting a 8k dongle if your pc is bad. Took me a long time to get a good keyboard, deathadder v3, 360hz monitor, good pc etc etc u just gotta save up one thing at a time man. Get healthy, eat good, don't smoke or drink and u save a ton of money fast bro.

[@RS3NDIT]

just picked up a sora v2! Not super familiar with the mouse industry and all the offerings - I bought a superlight back in 2021 when I started gaming and it's been really great ever since. I've heard mostly positive things about the Sora and at the price of $100, I think I'll be really happy with it - especially considering how damn light it is. It's over 33% lighter than my superlight, which itself was so much lighter than my first mouse, the steelseries rival 600, that I had to drop my sensitivity to adjust. I think for people like me who aren't looking for necessarily the most premium mouse but just the best specs for the money (as well as people who only really intend to use it at 1k - I have no issues with 1k with my superlight and don't see why that would change with the sora), the Sora V2 is pretty insane. 40g, omron optical switches, incredible sensor, and solid coating all for $100 is great.

Yeah that shape is goated

[@UnsilentedStorms]

I've been using the razer cobra.. and do not like the shape, it's okay but it feels like a left hand mouse in a right hand for some reason to me, it's uncomfortable. maybe cause I have a sort of claw grip and the right side pokes out into my fingers, but when I put it in my left hand, it feels like it fits more snug but deathadder's design had it right imo.

[@donatopirrod]

I don't like the click quality of the sora v2 at all. The sora 4k felt more solid i must say. I regret selling it, i feel the 4k is the better out of the 2. Im waiting for the r1 pro to try it out.

[@vodkastudios4170]

I got the Beast X Max with Omron Opticals, and it has been fantastic so far. I really don't get how people think the holes are an issue, aside from cleaning difficulty, the holes are not sharp like a cheese grater or anything and they add grip for me, I don't need any rubber grips on it. Also the magnesium just feels cold and fantastic to the touch. The buttons are crispy, it has been solid so far. I got pretty big hands so the larger size is preferable. If the op8k comes out in a wider format I might try that too but as it is now, I am going to just main the Beast X Max til it breaks. If anyone with a beast x max has an issue with no registered movement from time to time, all I had to do is switch to 2mm lift off distance and it seems to have fixed that for me. My liftoff is based on my movement so I do wish the software allowed incremental choices instead of just a choice between 1 and 2 mm.

[@Suyrau_]

Which one would you say is better in terms of shape, the VXE R1 Pro Max or the OP1 8k?

[@lexisnothere]

I was getting weird skips or stutters when I would bare down on the Viper V3 pro with my Saturn Pro mouse pad. I took a hunch and switched back to my qck heavy and the frequency of these instances became almost non existent. I'm not sure it is the softness or materials of the pads or LOD but whatever is going on with the qck it is happening less. TLDR: If you are getting random stutters with the new Viper Pro I would recommend trying different surfaces or possibly LOD's. Outside of that the mouse has been near perfect!
