Razer Viper Mini Signature Teardown - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3zIk4GVbJearJo

[@samk1301]

Have you found a replacement scroll wheel that works with this mouse? I hate the metal scroll wheel without the rubber grip.

[@jm8080ful]

It'll be funny to measure how long that smaller battery lasts in 8k polling rate mode just for the laughs 😂

[@AyushSharma-xp5ew]

Hi Bob, few quick comments/words of advice : 1. 3:28 Please do not clamp a pouch-type battery with crocodile clips like that. There's a very real risk of causing a puncture. Avoiding pierce damage is the main reason there's an extra mylar sheet over the battery area of the plastic cover. 2. Installing a smaller battery is a fire/safety hazard. VMSE uses a 2C rated battery, which means a charge current of 230 (mAh) * 2(C) = 460mA. The smaller, 150mAh battery that you're using needs to be AT LEAST 3C rated to be safe, and going by the appearance alone, it doesn't seem likely to be that.

[@Beardedbob]

no issues reported yet but thanks for the advice.

[@gruffy686]

​@@Beardedbob can you try using the tj exclusives weight mod base for the razer viper mini. It will most likely fit on the signature edition

[@erasble]

@@gruffy686 PLS

Hello, love the mod video's! Keep up the great and informative content. I know this is a old video but i just got this mouse and want to do a battery mod. Can you please tell me what size JST connector to get for the battery? Thanks in advance!

[@jimmychen2402]

Are there any aftermarket scroll wheel that does fit the Viper Mini Signature Edition?

[@iamcrystalwater2221]

How many mm does the razer battery jst have tho?

[@cOoLm0Dz]

I thought they use a special quick-chargeable battery. But guess iam wrong :)

[@RitzDaCat]

Battery seems a tad scary to do, is there any place to purchase a 100maw battery with a 3 pin cable ready to go?

[@illegitimate0]

It's not that hard to separate the wires carefully when soldering.

[@Thomas-fk6ep]

eBay has em, but shipping takes a while from China

[@delete5846]

why dont you cut holes/shape of the bottom of the mouse thats what i plan on doing when i get mine

[@Beardedbob]

Different video this one is one that you can do without damaging it.

[@delete5846]

@@Beardedbob ooh i see then is a future video about it coming up?

[@sephondranzer]

And that doesn’t utterly tank in battery life using 4/8khz polling? How does battery life compare?

[@fran2911]

Just extrapolate

[@WARnTEA]

Are you getting a deathadder 8k, I wonder if its exactly the same as the pro. Its like $80 cheaper.

[@gabrieljy]

the pro is wireless, 8k is wired is the biggest point of difference. also the 8k wired has a new smooth coating that the pro doesn't have

[@Beardedbob]

Yep its on order should be here tomorrow... I'll be checking it out and also streaming with it on Friday to test it

[@gitarreJones]

When comes the Asus aimlab my Friend ?🤗

[@Beardedbob]

I was planning Wednesday but it might be next week sir.

[@kurtian7976]

why are we getting sweaty over 7 grams

[@Beardedbob]

Because Razer failed us 😭

[@gruffy686]

​@@Beardedbob Lol😂

[@lizhang9807]

i hope you realize that weight adds stabilization ... this is true for target and hunting archery, for video cameras, also for mouse aiming ....

[@ffeeman]

7 грамм?) Не значительно

[@mariusz76a]

I'd rather put a bigger battery in there.

[@kimiko1302]

it will be “heavier” but much more time usage for sure

[@gruffy686]

Same
