Razer Viper V2 Pro Review /WAIT WHAT??

[@TheTechne]

I seriously have no idea why they sent a tennis ball, LOL!

[@foxrootking5077]

The tennis ball is the same weight as the viper

[@YaYa-ex8cu]

I bet the weigh the same.

[@stefan7848]

its when mouse broke, u can play tennis

[@jol7754]

It's the perfect massage for your hand rol it between you're desk and handpalm with a little pressure 👍

[@wavytoad9983]

They weigh the same.

[@mikeyhope7577]

Looks like a fine mouse. Just hope this meta of removing features and increasing price stops.

[@Gaptiste]

lighter mice are better it's not removing features its a huge improvement. These are fps mice.

[@Chunpokomon]

@@Gaptiste It's obviously better than v1 but it doesn't justify the price at all. If you remove functions, it would be normal to lower the costs. The rgb, side buttons, charging dock and charging port are not free.

[@Arctis326]

@@Chunpokomon yeah I dont agree with the price but some of the stuff removed were useless to me. I dont care about the rgb logo because its in the palm of your hand. Only thing i wished stayed was the grips

[@Gaptiste]

@@Chunpokomon Yea but this is capitalism you pay for the brand, the cost of production, enough to make them profit. Unfortunate it's a shit system it really is. But the mouse is better than v1 as an fps player.

[@jaYp90]

@@Chunpokomon would you say that about the g pro superlight as well?

[@11202]

A welcome addition that hopefully sparks even more competition. Just not my shape and not my cup of tea software wise but. Glad you monsters who enjoy this shape have a modern version.

[@geralt8394]

Just buy the viper ultimate if you want features, the viper v2 pro is for competitive gaming. The sheer engineering to get the mouse down to 58 grams with proper weight balance and the build quality as well as the novelty that comes with being the lightest gaming mouse avaible to the generel public. The people who are bashing razer for this are the same people who was praising logitech when the superlight came out, their whole argument is based on fallacies wheter they like it or not.

[@keruvin_KA]

Man, I’ve been waiting for this ever since the leaks. Can’t wait for the comparison with the superlight, since I’m thinking of replacing it. The superlight coating just get discolored over time quickly.

[@r4zr5]

My Viper Ultimate in the Mercuy Edition looks brandnew despite using it daily for over a year. Even the texture is still there. Can't imagine it being different with this one.

[@JerryEboy69]

This mouse looks like an awesome release. Two days ago I searched multiple websites but there was no mouse. Luckily they have it on amazon today! I already have the Viper Ultimate, so I don't feel like spending more money any time soon. Awesome Video!

[@krpdi3m]

What we really need is Viper Mini Ultimate or Mini V2 Pro :(

[@ButtersChannel]

Thank you so much, this piece of tech was the tech I was most excited about, I never got the ultimate because I was waiting for the updated version

[@swizzler8053]

The ultimate is 80 bucks on Amazon. I have the ultimate and it's amazing. Love the charging dock.

[@randomreviewer2658]

The only reason why I would opt for the v2 is for the weight. The V1 has a charging dock, has a compartment for the dongle and built in grips

[@frikkievuiltrens]

And the V1 is $70 less!

[@lodevandenberg5361]

And it has RGB😉

[@crib8007]

One mouse is $80 (Best Buy Amazon) one is $150. The $80 have more features same body the other barley anything to say it’s 150. The V2 should be a maximum of $100 and no where near worth a upgrade. Comparing ultimate to the V2

[@see74]

Those extra features made the mouse worst

[@Gaptiste]

It's a fps mouse. 70+ grams down to sub 60 is a huge improvement

[@Yaxie]

the v1 is inconsistent, I replaced mine with the GPX after almost 2 years. Side grips went bad, battery was lasting less than 2 days even with RGB turned off, it would disconnect at random times, and the charging dock wouldn't charge the mouse anymore. Loved the grip though, it is far more comfortable than the GPX as I'm a fingertip user.

[@tomywu]

Thanks to the release of Viper V2, I just got Viper Ultimate with the dock at a very good discounted price here in AU at about USD $80. I cannot imagine I spent double that price to get the V2,

[@in027754]

I really am looking forward to the next video mentioned in this video!!!

[@eglorious-yt]

They took the Viper Ultimate. Improved what people complained about and removed what people loved.

[@eglorious-yt]

@ArniXD It's just the dock that sucks for returning customers.

[@jdplumber007]

I'm so glad this has 30k dpi. Can't wait to fire up warzone at 30k dpi, just insane flicks

[@The_Head_Of_CountDooku_Records]

Fantastic review as always. Can always rely on Techne for a fantastic review. To be honest though, This mouse has me conflicted. Of course if a manufacturer cuts out enough features they can make their product weigh less. And by doing so it probably costs the manufacturer a lot less money to produce the product. But, Rather than pass those savings on to the consumer they cut manufacturing prices in half and instead of reduce price for the consumer they charge us almost double for the product? At least the Viper Ultimate came with a charging dock at the $150 price which is often on sale at Best Buy between $77-$100 and that is with the charging dock. Personally, I think they should charge maybe slightly more than the Viper Ultimate without the Charging Dock. So, Maybe $100 at most. But, At $150? Not so sure.

[@andemadsmit]

I wonder if it is actually less expensive to manufacture, since the thinner shell would probably be harder to manufacture and have lower yields. Material costs ( as in the amount of plastic used to make the mouse) barely accounts for most of the cost so that wouldn't be a reason for it to be cheaper to manufacture. Although i agree the price is probably too high and razer are taking a fat profit margin (Which we can see based on the sale price of their products).

[@The_Head_Of_CountDooku_Records]

I think the structural changes that resulted in most of that weight loss of the mouse is the removal of the charging dock section, smaller battery, removal of RGB and grips, and removal of buttons more so than some thinner plastic.

[@toldto3841]

Love your vids! One of my favourite tech reviewers! This could be better than the g pro super light but I’m not 100% sure, I know that logitech’s mouse has a really safe shape that a lot of people enjoy using so it’s probably down to preference and mouse grip.

[@derekcrotty136]

Another amazing review! Just bangers after bangers!

[@TheTechne]

thank you so much

[@AmirShah-by6ej]

"Razer. I don't get it... Why did you sent me fuzzy balls" I'm rolling right now

I was waiting for this mouse, finally !

[@noisenoys]

another awesome review techne! but where's the hs80 review? hehehe

[@TheTechne]

stil debating if I will cover the USB version

[@Addrenaline]

🤤 they have answered every problem I had with the original!

[@MarkWinn]

generally dont like ads but this guy is kinda goated at doing sponsors

[@TheTechne]

lol, unscripted, I just plug products I actually like

[@mominidrees2805]

All the people saying that they are charging more for less. Do you people have any idea of how much R&D goes in making the weight saving and decisions and not to mention an entirely new sensor and the design changes internally and externally. These things cost a lot of money before they even start production

[@cany7910]

Man i love ur reviews

[@TheTechne]

man I love your comment

[@iSpenC]

LETS GO!! Play tennis? Must fight urge to purchase mouse. Viper ultimate was my main for about a year. I need a Viper mini V2 pro wireless now!

[@steveharrington2959]

Sheeesh I was just about to purchase the Viper Ultimate. Good thing I saw this vid!

[@deadscene1]

the ultimate is better with the dock lol new one is a big downgrade from the original

[@crashdude7589]

@@deadscene1 its not a bid downgrade, this is a huge upgrade its a pro mouse, its in the name, reduced weight is everything

[@gab3635]

what I'm really excited for is the xm2w. i have mine pre ordered

[@Crudeh]

Damn this mouse cutting lot of razer old features I hope it’s still as comfortable as the viper ultimate

[@OkayAlright]

If it had a dpi button on the top it'd be perfect for me if they make a wireless viper mini and keep the dpi button on the top I'd buy it in a heartbeat

[@x2w509]

Perfect update imo. I went back to my Viper the other day and it felt so heavy after using the pulsar xlite. Only thing I'd miss is that dock charging

[@xGEOxSDx]

It's interesting how you mentioned about the mouse skates. The viper mini has it exactly how it should be on the Viper v2 pro.

[@dinonugget7114]

Can't wait for the XM2W.

[@madiluvskittens]

I am definitely picking this mouse up today

[@realduox]

far as im converned its a worse version of the mouse for more money. The Viper Ultimate is light enough. The V2 Pro has no charge base and no rubber sides which are the main reasons I use the Ultimate.

[@jakefromstatefarm2.045]

the tennis ball is actually added if u buy viper v2

[@KiLLaCaM607]

I’ve had the black Viper Ultimate Wireless with the charging dock for the last 2 years and love it. This doesnt seem like it’s worth upgrading to if you have the old one, but could be a great option if you’re in the market for a new mouse. Personally I love the feel and design of this one, even with it being an ambidextrous mouse

[@DulioCat]

Yeah I’ve had mine for a year now and It’s been working really well for me aswell. I definitely won’t be upgrading but it’s nice to see the little improvements !

[@N4CHO_]

Its a neat mouse for sure, I was hoping the viper v2 would’ve had the dpi button on top though. I swap dpi between gaming and desktop use. The overall price should be lower as they only made some some small improvements and removed some features like dock charging. I bought my viper ultimate brand new on Amazon with the dock for 90 bucks. $100 would be a fair starting price for this mouse. Great videos as always Techne! 👍

[@gummy2079]

i have a viper mini rn but ive been wanting a wireless mouse, should i get this mouse. ik its expensive but i want a good wireless mouse

[@Jolluxbbx]

100%

[@jaYp90]

Mine will be delivered tomorrow can't wait.

[@chrisdotdash5154]

It’s really sad and pathetic how randomfrankp is trash talking honest tech reviewers like yourself who say that this mouse is worth the $150 price point. I appreciate how you mention how this mouse is price the way it is because it’s a really solid core product and for the competitive gamer and mouse enthusiast. Great video 🔥

[@TheTechne]

Yet he builds 1000$ + keyboards

[@this_katharsis2227]

i never liked that guy

[@TheSunIsMyDestroyer]

$100 for the mouse, $50 for the tennis ball

[@TheTechne]

lol

[@sleepy9675]

I’m glad u think it’s worth $70 more than the Viper Ultimate for what? 16g lighter in exchange for a dock, RGB, ambidextrous that’s it’s known for. What a load of crap. Check out Randomfrankp’s video, he explains it much better

[@TheTechne]

I did, now u check this out kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIfLoWWArr6SoZI

[@bladeandcloak666]

I have the viper 8k and as a lefty losing those right sided ambidextrous buttons for 10k more dpi really doesn't seem worth it, especially at 150. Let me know when the viper v3 comes out lol

Remove things from a mouse and sell it for a higher price. Makes sense.

[@TheTechne]

same thing Logitech did

[@deadscene1]

get excited cuz i am playing with viper and basilisk ultimate ,but after i saw the cut corners in the new one feels like a big downgrade from the old one

[@mattbrunguyen]

Great review! I want to see how you like this mouse compared to the Logitech G Pro X Superlight! It seems like Logitech and Razer has taken a similar approach with regard to improving their popular mice!

[@errvega2705]

They left that gap on the top 2 feet cause its hollow because of the wire

[@Destinylover14]

i see absolutely no reason to get the Viper v2 pro, especially if you already have the viper ultimate, $150 is WAY too overpriced, just get the viper ultimate with dock for $80

[@TheTechne]

the original is such a great deal right now, but man this one blows the original away

[@Destinylover14]

@@TheTechne i dont exactly see how? it removed features, including the charging dock, the only difference i've seen is a slightly improved sensor and 16g lighter, which is a difference, but a $70 difference? i dont think so, it just needs to be cheaper and the sale records for it will show that.

[@toldto3841]

@@Destinylover14 I’m not sure if it is worth the extra $70. But I’ve got to say, 16g can make a huge difference in your in game performance so a lot of people would probably say it’s worth it. Really down to preference though

[@Nemixx]

the GPX is 150 dollars wdym lol.

[@Yaxie]

@@Destinylover14 if you have used the v1 for at least a year (which I have), you would know that getting the V1 is just a terrible deal. Bad switches, poor battery life, the charging dock works erratically, and it would disconnect at random times. I got a swap, and had the same issues, so clearly, the v1 isn't a winner. I'm using the GPX now, and it is so much better. Don't even consider the first version if you have the money; it is too bad. However, if they have improved the connectivity issues, the new viper would be a real contender as the viper shape is far more comfortable at least for me. The wired viper works fine though, my wife uses the mercury version.

[@Frencho9]

Ok Razer where is my Orochi V2 Pro with Focus + Pro sensor and V3 optical switches now that you got the viper out?!

[@ANGP21]

I'm sure Razer will follow this up by releasing a Viper V3 for $200, then the only difference would be is that the V3 has RGB.

[@jasonmxx]

I was waiting for this cause i thought it would have a charging dock.. oh well, i just hope the rumored g502x is compatible with powerplay

[@AndyS2K76]

I have the superlight and the viper v2 pro. I play with one that seems to me the best than switch to other and become the new best and so i do all day....

[@rocket_v]

Someone said that the black one weights in at 58 and the white one at 59-60… can you confirm this?

[@TheTechne]

tiss true

[@Dhaydon75]

It is normal that white mouse 1-2 grams more than black ones because they have to add things to prevent them from turning yellowish because of light.

[@Bumzen]

Nice take on this. I'll sit out for now, and wait for the Viper Mini Ultimate with the same changes 😀

[@tree_fiddy]

Disappointing review. I was watching your older vids where you rip in to Razer for their prices and thinking this channel is great, but here this mouse is very clearly overpriced and you just let that go. They've taken stuff away but kept the price. Some of that stuff was useful as well like the dongle storage and profile button, but now it's removed just to save like 3 or so grams, it's ridiculous. No RGB as well, but do Razer lower the price? No, and you don't call them out.

[@Skull_Knight_Berserk]

It's a shame that's the same shape as the Viper Ultimate, waiting for a viper mini wireless

[@40EKAY]

not gonna lie someone give my boy 1mil subs already he deserves it especially with these amazing sponsorships!!!! W VIDEO

[@grandam.]

Price is a no no, but this mouse is obviously a competitor to the super light. That’s why they removed features.

[@zorancvetkovic7204]

For some reason less and less support for left-handers or those who use mouse with left hand like me.

There is no mouse that is realy worth 150$, becouse creating it + distribution is at max 30$, they didnt even had to design new shape so there was just some internal tweeks to make it lighter which is at max two weeks for good engineer.
