Razer Viper V3 Pro VS Logitech G Pro X Superlight / DETAILED COMPARISON

[@enzy6434]

Never could stand the shape of the Viper mice, can't use them.. GPX Superlight is the goat for a reason. Small, but safe shape.

[@papertelevision]

Strange but I felt the Viper 3 felt slightly grippier than the superlight, but I've been comparing to the superlight 2. Both such incredible mice, and the difference is so small between the two. I do slightly prefer the Viper v3 however. Note the super light's optical switches do ease up a little over time, but agreed they're too much and feel cheap. The Viper3's are better but I still prefer the mechanical of the Viper3 Hyperspeed. Oh well!

[@TheTechne]

Yeah it’s a weird mix, the viper is wider, but the gpros hump is bigger.

[@doggofv]

Ive tried both, and the viper v3 pro has better scroll wheel, clicks, and WAY better side buttons, however for some reason when i use it in game, whether its the shape not being as filling in the back, or the sensor, but the viper v3 pro just feels almost loose. When playing with it it feels so solid but then i just seems like i CANNOT aim with it. I just drone out and it feels awkward, then i go to the superlight and it just feels so precise and locked in, where i can move it exactly the way my brain wants to control the cursor. I wish there was a mouse that had the shape and feel of the superlight but with the features of the v3 pro. But for now i just have to stick on the gpro because i just perform better on it which at the end of the day all that matters (And it wasnt just not being used to the shape, i used the v3 pro for about a week straight and it just didnt work for me)

[@clipsrandomdeortz6929]

the sensor of the v3 has smoothing on it, and it has some sensor issues search for the video named "Razer Viper V3 Pro is not a good mouse" they were having issues in tournament, razer launched a fix but i think they just used some smoothing shit to hide that issue

Had a Superlight for 4 years. Mine is broken now since I've used it 10+ hours a day for all this time. Opting to try the Razer this time and see what the results are. I do love the size of the Superlight and Bulbous shape. I have rarely if EVER used the side buttons, but the 1 thing I hate is how there is a thin plastic coating on top of the plastic, that completely peeled away from hundreds of hours of clicking. Hopefully this doesn't happen with the Razer. Furthermore, the switch is sorta broken now too where I cannot hold down my clicks without it registering that I stopped holding down. I guess this is just natural wear and tear.

[@Andos.b]

There is one thing I would like to point out that i don't see many reviewers mention about the middle mouse wheel on the GPRO superlight. You can click the middle mouse button from the side. Sliding your primary left click finger into the side of the mouse wheel registers as a click, and is a HUGE timesaver as i don't have to lift my finger to hit middle mouse button. I don't know how many mice do it as nobody mentions it, I only know this after owning the superlight and its a gamechanger for me. Techne mentions it as a speed bump in this review over the razor, but doesn't mention that's a feature of the superlight to register a middle button click. Can anyone confirm if the razor has this side click function on the middle mouse wheel?

[@devinfraserashpole4753]

Nice tip. This is great.

[@moewartani6574]

Yea I can confirm razer has the same side click to register the click of the middle mouse button, very convenient

I heard the coating of the white viper v3 pro feels so much better. Are you gonna test it ?

[@TheTechne]

Yeah I heard Boardzy say that also. I have no plans to cover the white one

[@doggofv]

I recieved my white v3p just 2 days ago and i dont think the coating felt all that sticky. Boardzy said that his was a early reviewer unit bought from ebay and the retail version might not have that coating and i think this is the case. Because honestly i bought the white one hoping for a grippier coating but its honestly pretty slick in my opinion. But in my experience with white mice the coating gets grippier over time because of sweat etc. So i'll have to see after more use

Hi (btw sorry for bad english), i would want to known your hand measurements (and your prefered mouse), also i cant decide to pick between picking up a g502x (wired), a glorious i2, and also the basilisk v3 (wired). the thing is also a rocket jump ninja page sugested me the pulsar x2h mini (i have 18.1 cm x 9.3cm hands), but i don't known if im gonna like a symmetric mouse with less buttons, actually im using the g502 hero but i consider it too heavy (i grip like a palm but kinda claw). I could be very grateful if you give me a answer or a recomendation.

[@dontcarecaredont]

The newer batches of the gpx2 have really really good clicks, they are not heavy at all anymore. Mine (white version, batch 2403) are almost as light as the gpx1. These extremely heavy clicks seem to be a thing of the early batches.

[@TheTechne]

[@PandaGoBoo]

Great video. I was just comparing the two mice yesterday and you can definitely see where Razer took some creative inspiration from logitech. I don't think it is a killer either because of how loyal a lot of ppl are to the GPX. Personally I absolutely love the new Viper V3, its been amazing. That all being said, I would also be curious to know how many ppl that main the Viper V2 are pissed off about the changes to the mouse, because for me it was a night and day difference in feel between V2 and V3.

[@mrjamesinblogington]

The controversy of the Superlight side buttons reminds me to the controversy over the magazine release on 3rd gen Glock pistols. People would complain about how hard they need to manipulate their thumb in order to reach the magazine release, to which Glock engineers would rightfully point out the magazine release was made that way on purpose, so as to make it less likely to accidently hit the magazine release during an inconvenient time. With that out of the way, I'm sure an engineer at Logitech can give one the, well, logic, behind the side button design, with more area to rest one's thumb being a readily noticeable reason. As for the 3rd gen Glock pistols, Glock acquiesced and made the release larger on later iterations, but they also made the release stiffer so they could still achieve the goal they were going for with the 3rd gen release design, which is being harder to press on accident.

[@marcdwonn9772]

WARNING: Stay away from Razer. They don't honor the 2 year warranty they give. My Basilisk v3 started to break after only 22 months (tilt wheel) and after 2 weeks of jumping through email hoops they outright refused to repair/replace the mouse. They claim that the shop i bought it from is "not an authorized seller" (it's CSV, a popular online-shop in Germany). You can find the thread on the Razer subreddit and read for yourself. I'm extremely disappointed, and it seems i'm not the only one, judging by other posts. This was the 2nd chance i gave Razer, after a dismal experience with a Naga 10-15 years ago. I am going back to Logitech and Razer will never see another Euro from me.

[@hinchlikescake7592]

I think the tapered front makes the Viper V3 larger in hand as your left side finger and pinky are forced more in that direction. I prefer that as it allows for more control in my relaxed palm grip. Techincally the Viper is superior and has better stock feet but at the end of the day shape is most important as if if doesn't fit your hand or playstyle or even game, it doesn't matter what sensor or hardware its packing.

[@kyugunto629]

@The Techne please help! I`ve been searching for a mouse that has the side buttons a bit behind, currently I have the Superlight and it fits perfect in my hand and I love it, but it is impossible with my grip to access side button 5 (without changing my grip, during gaming it`s annoying to do that),(the one towards the front). I keep purchasing mice and returning them...if you have one in mind that has the same measurements like the superlight but the side button a bit behind, please let me know. Thank you.

[@shindigira]

The white and black Viper V3 Pro have different coatings. The white one is 1gram heavier but much grippier.

[@Matyas_Doktor]

Love your videos but using the original superlight really makes this video worthless. I do think the viper v3 pro is better than the superlight 2 but this video is comparing a much older product. This was a minor misstep, but please don't make it a habit to choose your favorite product and forget the market favorite ("best competitor") or your videos will lose a lot of value. If you want to compare all 3 that's fine. I understand you don't like the optical switches on the superlight 2, many people love them and RTings shows they are slightly superior compared to the older version.

[@TheTechne]

I see your point for sure, and appreciate the feedback. But at the core, they are the same. It’s really shape. Even in my gpro 2 vid, I said stick with the og Superlight. PS: I also considered and thought about your exact point before making this vid. And my final straw was, if I didn’t like and more importantly use the GPSL2, it would not be fair for me to compare them. I always prefer to cover products and especially comparisons to what I actually use and can truly speak on. But again, seriously I truly do appreciate the constructive criticism ❤🤝

[@StayPeace69]

For me personally owned the VMSE really love the materials and weight but the size and shape is not my cup of tea, owned superlight before but never liked the software compared to razers (and the polling rate as well), so once i saw this and the new shape looked similar to superlight and the size as well, can’t wait to get this to my hand!
