Razer Viper V3 Pro Review | Large Medium, 55g, top specs, symmetrical gaming mouse

[@SoupPot]

The hand size guide is actually quite helpful. The number of reviewers that don't mention their hand size at all is absurd.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

It's actually the reason I got into reviews... realized I needed smaller mice than many others, so clearly mouse size and hand size matter. Was just saying the other day that with so many mouse reviewers now, we could cover a huge range of hand sizes and recommendations as a community, so yeah I hope they start doing it too. My estimates are basically just what I like but scaled up and down based on my hand size, then getting feedback from others.

[@cheeseyboy2121]

@@RocketJumpNinja They never seem to do sadly, coming with huge hands 22x19.5 cm it's hard to find a mouse that fits comfortably in my hands as really small mice tend to cramp up. I am glad you are back into mice reviews again, thanks for the hard work!

[@mikekonkola1231]

I really loved the viper mini shape. I would love to see a mini version of the viper v3 pro

[@justinjacobe]

My hero is back.

[@iitsMikeB]

Interesting. My analysis of the shape is not far from what you've said in this review, but I'm leaning more towards saying that this is a "G pro X'ified" Viper, in other words, a Viper without the huge flairs, and playing it safe. The moment you mentioned the thing with the scroll wheel, I immediately took my G Pro X, and was like: "This is exactly how the G Pro X has its scroll wheel". I can definitely see the Viper mini comparison though.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

Yeah weird thing about the G Pro X wheel is that it feels well placed for where my fingers sit, but the Viper V3's doesn't, despite both being an index finger back or so. That's probably something to do with the hump being in the middle on the G Pro X though. Viper V3 also has smaller dimensions than the V2, but feels bigger due to that hump size. It's not quite as simple as I originally thought.

[@G-DizzleDon]

Really helpful video, if possible I'd love a video for the V3 HyperSpeed. Cheers

[@fubu666]

After my Viper V2 Pro is the third Razer Viper in two years with malfunctioning scroll wheel, I skipped the bulky V3 and went with the Zowie U2. This gives me comfort grip for my thumb like the Viper V2 and an excellent scroll wheel. Also lightweight and no ugly extra software needed.

[@jakeman025]

Yes that’s what I just came from the zowie u2 I said nope after the deathadder v3 but my friend had an extra and let me use it and it’s by far the best mouse I’ve ever used.

[@cemitech7638]

Ah finally a reviewer with good hand size recommendation

[@Tellotv]

The goat is back

[@Joost.]

Hey man I just came by to quickly thank you. I've been looking for a wireless mouse with a shape similar to the Mad Catz R.A.T. mice I've been using for the past 7 years. After searching for a long long time I finally came across your Xtrfy MZ1 Wireless and its general profile from back to front is literally identical! Its perfect!

[@Joost.]

One question tho. It might be a bit of a sin, so I'm sorry for asking, but because the back is easily replaceable, would it be an option to add a new back with the same shape but completely solid? The mouse is perfect but I'm hypersensitive to imperfections (I absolutely hate the thicker bit of fabric in socks near the toes) so I cant actually take mouse where I have to grab the holes.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

Glad you like the mouse! As for no holes... you can print a new back if you're capable, the 3D file is on the Xtrfy website. But otherwise, we just have to hope they make a version 2 with their modern mouse styling. Still no word on that, unfortunately.

[@Joost.]

@@RocketJumpNinja Oh but thats actually perfect! Just downloaded the files. A friend of mine is very good at 3d printing so Ill ask help for that :) Thats really nice that those models are up to download for everyone!

[@iJansport]

Ive been loving the gwolves HTX despite me having big hands. I fingertip grip the mouse and the fact its under 40g really helps with micro adjustments. That veing said this viper v3 really has my interest and i hope to find it on sale eventually. I play games with my mice on 2k hz polling rate as ive tested 4k and 8k and dont see a huge improvement.

[@ProExposed]

I bought this when it first came out. I love it one of my all time favorite mice. to me it’s a better super light 2 in every single way.

[@1PX]

is it ?

[@andresaliba]

Hey Zy good to see you back. Can you do a comparison shot with older models when you have videos like these? Just to quickly show the size and details difference between the models. Razer often completely changes shapes but use the same model name.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

Hey, thanks, I put the size comparison in with the previous Viper... which others did you want to see?

[@andresaliba]

​@@RocketJumpNinja I guess it depends on what you have on hands to show us. For example I still have the 1st gen Viper Ultimate but would like to see this new v3 pro compared to it and other like Viper mini. It's only because they are all "Viper", so someone like me who likes the shape of the Ultimate could maybe like other Vipers. The issue is most companies are changing shapes within the same model names.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

@@andresaliba Isn't the Viper V2 that I put in there exactly the same shell other than the side buttons on the right? I put the Viper Mini in there too. You saw the size picture right? But yeah I agree with you they shouldn't be changing the shape and keeping the names... although I get that the changes aren't that major so they probably didn't think they needed a new name yet.

RJN posts new review, instant click. If this gets top marks then it must be worth considering for mid/large hands. Any chance you're going to cover Sora V2? And perhaps ATK F1 Ultimate. Both sub 40g mice with Pulsar X2H Mini/Viper Mini style medium/small shape.

[@tomsecret]

Awesome mouse (and review) but that price is ludicrous!

[@JensHove]

Best mouse I ever had.

[@willwunsche6940]

I bought the og Viper Ultimate in large part because of your review and have enjoyed it all these years. Have been curious what your thoughts are on this. I really love the charging dock though which makes me hesitant to consider changing mice

[@RocketJumpNinja]

Unless you're going pro or are super competitive to the point you want to win at all costs... then it's not actually worth upgrading then. Besides, you could probably just get a faster pad and make it feel like the mouse is lighter than it is anyway, because weight is the only important upgrade here, imo. That's part of why I lost interest, these mice aren't THAT different to warrant getting excited about. Same old, same old. Mice have been great for years.

[@willwunsche6940]

@@RocketJumpNinja Thanks! I appreciate your insight as always. While I am sometimes a good amount competitive I am pretty happy with what I have. Might look into pads some more. I am on a basic older 15" cloth razer pad and a larger cheap pad I occasionally use, so there's room to explore. The feet on my ultimate are mostly worn out, might replace those too. The built in side grips are decently worn down but I don't mind.

[@qlldominic]

rapoo vt1 sounds very promising

[@Raveehh]

Shape is everything. Im on the Vaxee NP-01 wireless and it bridges the gap between comfort and performance for me. I don't stress about the weight of 69 grams but i wouldn't mind them lowering it slightly in the future :D

I like this mouse. It was an insane upgrade from wired ec1-b that I got back in like 2017. However, the sides flaring outwards at the front end of the mouse is just unnecessarily killing the design. Makes holding it kind of awkward.

[@nervereacts8222]

I have watched so many reviews and seen so many rankings placing this thing number 1 and im still hesistant to buy it because its a razer mouse i have owned 3 different razer mice since switching to pc gaming in 2017 and every single one after a few month developed horrible tracking issues that made them unusable and i have never had it on any other brand

[@HamzaAmjad]

Great review! What mousepad are you using these days with the Viper V3 Pro or the Ulralight X?

[@RocketJumpNinja]

I'm always using either the standard version of my pad (Xtrfy GPZ1) or the green screen version for the mouse cam.

[@AvantuPL]

And again no side buttons for lefthanded. Last good left handed mouses are Viper, OG Superlight (I don't like it) and modern one that his one Pulsar X2A. I purchased Pulsar X2A to try it out and replace my 4th Viper Ultimate, and ofc to support company who still cares about left handed players. Razer back in the days even had freaking deathadder left handed edition. I spam razer instagram about it but no luck yet. Anyway Viper V3 Pro top tier mouse and Razer seems to know what their doing, for sure they are doing better than Steelseries and even Logitech.

[@jayhobspeedruns]

Yeah real annoying I'm personally not buying a new viper because I'd have to switch my whole input layout, I assume it's a somewhat inconvenient way to make them lighter. Is the Pulsar X2a good?

[@AvantuPL]

@@jayhobspeedruns Havn't received it yet but internet says it's good mouse. Specification wise there is no better mouse than X2A if you want buttons on both sides, optical switches, top sensor, lightweight, 4k polling rate. I read on reddit about quality issues, but people are complaining about quality issues a lot on e.g. razer, logitech, I had their mouses and quality isn't worse than other gaming mouses so yeah I'm not so skeptical but we will see.

[@AvantuPL]

@@jayhobspeedruns Got it and I gotta say that it is really good. Not ten times better than viper ultimate (which is still good mouse) but certainly better. Quality is ok and the weight does big difference. Mouse skates seem better too. side buttons are in similar position like on viper so you can adapt easily. Shapewise it has more hump and feels something between Razer Abyssus and Viper for me. I got medium size and it's slighty smaller than Viper ult. So more of a claw grip, palm grip better on viper ult for me. Finish is more glossy and no rubber grip, but wasn't big of a problem for me. Only problem i noticed is that when you tilt the mouse it scrapes mousepad, viper doesn't do that.
