Razer Viper Mini Review - The Best Small Gaming Mouse?

With the Viper Mini lightweight gaming mouse, Razer might be on their way to dominating the peripheral market. They're now combining a low price of $40 with an ultra lightweight form that's great for small hands. For people with smaller hands, this could be the best gaming mouse of 2020 so far! Along with the Huntsman TE, standard Viper and other new gaming peripherals, it looks like Razer is dedicated to dominating the market.

[@RodovalPTY]

I've been using this mouse for 3 days now. If you have a fingertip grip, don't look any further, this is the mouse to go.

[@daniellopez732]

As somebody that is looking for a good mouse on a budget, would you recommend this or the Glorious Model-O. I am thinking about this one because Razer is more trustable than Hlorious.

[@Aldo-db8ns]

What does finger grip mean and do you guys recommend this mouse cause I might get it😁

[@freedomfighter8883]

@@Aldo-db8ns Aldo it's when you use mainly your fingertips to control/move the mouse. It took me some time to correctly identify the grip type that I use but this is definitely the one I'm using. If you're confused do a quick google search of the different mouse grip types. The main 3 are Claw, fingertip and Palm gips.

mm711 is amazing. but the thing is what i found out recently is that the sensor position matters alot! bring your thumb back so the tip is in line with the sensor makes it feel more natural. the mm711 sensor is way too far back, making you have to use more energy to turn in a game

i just got this mouse and its incredible extreamly low weight i was shocked on how light it was and its good for hands that arent too big and small

[@CozyToad]

A flaw I found with the viper ultimate was when you pressed the m1 or m2 buttons at an angle the buttons would feel as if it were rubbing against a part of the mouse. I tried a few of them and I do believe it to be a part of design and not qc issues. If you do press straight down with no horizontal force it should be fine.

7 years ago i bought a razer deathadder essential 2013. the thing finally gave out today and the glowing logo glowed its last glow if that makes sense. i went onto amazon and found a replacement for like 40 bucks, then beside it found the viper mini for 35. I measured my current mouse and compared it to the mini and think they about the same size for some reason, and I have a fingertip grip on mine, so I think its a damn good deal for 35 bucks on amazon. big F for the deathadder tho, that thing was amazing. lasted 7 years without any issues until yesterday the cable cut out mid game, and I found the problem with it. the cable is severed from the USB input thing. big sad

[@jatinb1993]

Whats your hand size?

[@djillusii7333]

i just got this yesterday and spent the whole day playing with it. i thought the mouse was going to be smaller, but its a nice size for regular sized hands. i dislike the side buttons placement though, because i have to hold my mouse in a way that is uncomfortable to be able to use both of them. i thought the response time would be lower but its not like its super laggy, you know its a gaming mouse so i thought the respose time was going to be instant. but it think it might just be my screen or hardware thats making this happen. i never thought id find rgb so appealing, its so nice to look at the mouse in person. overall i think im happy with this mouse, i just think i need a better screen or something.

[@yiannissarr7102]

Being a 6'6" dude with super big hands, it is the first gaming mouse I bought. Having not experienced bigger and heavier mice before I though this was the standard size for all mice. After 2 years of using the viper mini WITH a claw grip (my first instinct was to use it with a palm grip, which is impossible) I accidentally bumped into the G502 in a tech store near my house. THE DIFFERENCE IN SIZE IS HUGE I CANT EXPRESS HOW IT FELT FOLDING A BIG MOUSE. I understood at what disadvantage I was in the last 2 years and I can't even use it anymore after fooling around with the G502 for 10 minutes. Long story short, PLEASE don't buy small mice if you have big hands and play with palm grip

Thanks for the info, same here a 6'7" with huge hands... Confused to buy which viper ( thought to buy the cheapest)... Maybe I look somewhere else...

I may be a little late, but please don't buy the MM710. Mine broke after less than a year of using it because the cable suffered from internal disconnects. On top of that, the whole thing is creaky, pressing too hard on the left side of the mouse made the side buttons activate, and the mouse buttons were wobbly at best. The Viper Mini beats it in every single way, hands down.
