Everything WRONG With The Razer Viper v3 PRO (shocking)

Covering a few of the (subjective) issues with the viper v3 pro I've seen online these past few days. I still have pretty much nothing bad to say about it, but there are definitely some people this isn't for despite being a safe design. GPX comparison soon!

@@boardzy I hoping to see that comparison, is the beast X mouse you have your favorite mouse compared to the Razor Viper v3?

[@bravo2icy]

I have been using the Viper V3 Pro for couple of days now and i freaking love it, I already have the viper v2 pro and the DeathAdder V3 pro and it like the both fused and created the the viper v3 pro this mouse is just too good tbh.

[@Geedal0]

I had the superlight 1 before and didn't upgrade hearing the side buttons are the same. I tried the death adder and viper 2 before but the shapes weren't for me. With the viper 3 it feels a lot more comfortable in the hand but I find the superlight's shape to be just slightly better on the bottom left side. Depending on if I try to give it more palm to the body of the mouse I can feel the bottom left side pushing a bit into the base of my thumb which I didn't have an issue with on the superlight. It's not a big deal since it doesn't feel terrible and I can just adjust my grip and have no issue, but that's probably with the longer back hump. I can't go back to the superlight now though since the side buttons feel awful and the viper has the ones that I like, which are razer's side buttons in general. I don't get a mushy feel or input, I get what I need and my thumb doesn't have to press in harsh. The superlight 1 has mushy side buttons that force my thumb to press against the frame of the mouse. I can feel a bit of my thumb on the edge of the viper v3's side buttons but I don't find discomfort with it and barely notice it or again, just a grip style change to adjust.

[@user-ji8bk8zl1b]

@boardzy im looking for a mouse, what ergonomic mouse would you recommend? Thank you!

[@HXISE]

yo boardzy is the viper v3 pro a sweaty mouse because grip i need a mouse who is cold on my hands but same shape as viper or gpx

[@Zenergist]

Compared to the DAV 3 pro, i like the aggressive button indents. It's lighter, which is also good. Not sure about the rest though. The inward slope on the right side is odd and tends to push my fingers into the mouse pad, which is annoying and causes drag. Furthermore, the hump is oddly shaped. It touches the right side of my palm , but not the center. They need to raise it slightly, widen the hump to fill the palm, and tone down the aggressive inward slope on the right side. Otherwise it's a really good mouse. The DAV3 is highly competitive, though, and more comfortable.

[@chronicmayhem]

whats considered small hands? im 19-10cm. I tried the Viper ultimate and it seemed too flat for me. Currently using a DAV3 and really like it but the higher upm of the viper v3 has me interested

[@LvckyVII]

using both GPX and the V3 Pro, i will say the GPX does feel like a smaller mouse in hand, but the V3 Pro is super solid and im happy switching over

[@Alegria.k]

Gpx superlight 2 vs viper v3 pro? I just got the gpx 2 for $125 including tax and shipping. I can still return it and get the v3 pro but is it worth the extra 45ish dollars?(including tax + shipping)? I currently use the model o wireless but am looking to upgrade.

[@Holy_Hobo]

Do they finally allow you to use over 1000hz wired? If not that's an enormous oversight and the main reason I will not upgrade

[@WhiteZet1]

1:08 - I bought a Hati-S Ace Wireless two years back cause Razer never made a small wireless mouse. I swear there's no way they're earning more from the Signature edition than if they just made something they can mass produce. (I hope.) And btw if you're someone with smaller hands or just want a smaller mouse, the Hati-S Ace Wireless was okay, but it doesn't feel like a top of the line mouse. Works fine for everything except for osu! where for some reason it gains the power of teleportation.

[@Nubplaysgtfinal]

I'm looking to upgrade from my Viper Mini soon, and was considering this as an option. Would this be the direct upgrade or is there a better option?

[@boardzy]

It will feel much larger, so if you're fine with that sure. There are plenty of small mice with high back humps that are good for claw too tho, x2h mini, sora v2 etc

I do kind of a pincer claw where my index finger hits the m1 near the scroll wheel so I hated the way the comfort grooves sloped. Objectively speaking though this mouse is really good.

[@7evenD1GiTaL]

Question. If i love my viper v2 pro with pulsar v2 superglides on a razer strider pad, do you think ill love this new shape? im a little worried the shape may throw me off

[@cam7851]

I don’t think it’s worth the upgrade if you already like the shape of the v2. The specs are almost identical apart from a 5 gram weight difference. I’m hoping they make another mouse with the original viper shape in the future.

[@d.ink3d]

No, if you love the V2 shape no reason to switch, you can buy 8k dongle separately if you really care about it, got the V2 myself and i see no reason to buy the V3

[@ryanlunn9152]

If I’m used to a death adder how does the size compare

[@Exyile]

theyre basically the same size

[@Progamur1]

What skates will you be using for it?

[@jonathanescobar6226]

I’ve been using the viper for about a week now and idk man I’m so mixed on the shape It just feels like it’s not meant for fingertip grip but at the same time it’s a comfortable mouse it just feels maybe a tad too big. Was kinda hoping they’d keep the old viper shape tbh

[@forzaazzurri101]

TBH i have a v2, the only complaint I have is the size of the mouse. I can use it just fine but I do wish it was a little bit smaller. I also have a superlight and i prefer the v2 to the superlight. They both need a smaller version.

[@1bird_d]

They won't make a mini version since it's extra manufacturing space in another factory that will probably not sell very well compared to the normal size, not worth it unless they do market research and find that the demand is actually there. otherwise it won't happen

[@bestspykid]

Hey boardzy is it worth it to buy high end mouse because side buttons end up getting double click issues in less than one year which is annoying imo

[@MikeRodic]

I own a variety of high end mouses and never have had side button issues. I think it just varies on what brand you get, batch, and how heavily you use them.

[@bestspykid]

@@MikeRodic can you name few of them, im planning to buy viper v2 pro

[@MikeRodic]

@@bestspykid i own but don't use my viper v2 pro, It doesn't feel comfortable for me. I fingertip grip my mouse mainly but also use claw from time to time and the v2 feels horrible for both imo. I ended up taking it apart and using the internals for the zeromouse. The main thing i dont like about the v2 is how my fingers feel slanted the closer i place them to the scroll wheel.

[@MikeRodic]

@@bestspykid im not sure how you hold your mouses but for me i liked lamzu, pulsar, and if i was going for a ergo mouse i used the npo1k or ec3-cw only downside is the ec3-cw is 1khz

[@klx6265]

Hey how do you measure hand size?

[@ryanhostudio]

i think that back hump of gpx and way the front tapers off makes it feel bigger to me than viper v3

[@bullyakker]

1:17 they did make a mini death adder.. I have mini DA and Viper. wish I could get the mini DA in wireless. Can only get the mini Viper wireless in a drop for $250+++++ which is ludacris. I have large hands but wrist and thumb damage so the mini's are easy using two fingers to hold and move them and light! I use my pinky for quick stops etc as it drags on the mouse pad. currently using an asus Keris as it's similar in size to a mini viper/DA and wireless but it's not quite there. Weight 78? grams viper mini weighs 61? sounds like a minute issue but this Asus Keris is hurting my busted up wrist and thumb. Likely going back to the wired viper mini and using an extension cable...damnit (LOVE the mini DA and viper, just need wireless)

[@austinsnider5836]

It is worth upgrading from a DAV3? They look relatively similar in size

[@ryan-we1ml]

only thing different is the shape, no?

[@daniellozobia5386]

They are different shapes. It's not an upgrade, more of a lateral move..

[@boardzy]

I'll make a video comparing those 2 mice soon as well. I ultimately prefer ambi shapes despite loving the dav3, and some minor things like lower weight, button height, sensor position. But if you're content with the dav3 shape/experience I don't think this is a necessary upgrade atm

[@clips5552]

the v2 pro has been my favorite mouse i've ever used its like it was molded for my hand i also palm grip and the gpx hump feels like it pushes into my palm and the v2 feels like im resting my palm on it which feels so much better....if the v3 pro shape is still the same as v2 then im deff gonna get it

Back button annoys me because my thumb comes down a slight angle and have large hands. If the buttons had more \ shape instead of [ shape would not be an issue. Installing the grips helped a lot.

High polling rate great on FPS but I not know about the Moba side of things.

[@boardzy]

If you play fps at an above average level on a high refresh rate good setup I think you will be able to notice a difference. Would it make you a significantly better player? Definitely not, but the difference is very clear to me using this vs lamzus 1k implementation.

[@montyslush]
