Razer has released the successor to one of our favorite series of lightweight gaming mice in recent years, the Viper. These mice are known to have a lightweight profile that is easy to move around despite the long battery life. as the new Viper V2 Pro (opens in a new tab) is about to follow those steps, but with some new features that seem very interesting.
The first is a new sensor with the logo that Razer calls the Focus Pro 30k optical sensor. It delivers 99. 8% solution accuracy and artificial intelligence complements its capability with intelligent tracking, motion synchronization and asymmetric cutting. The latter allows the user to adjust the height at which the mouse is raised, which is especially convenient for choppy shots.
This news about the sensors is quite massive considering that the latest edition of 20k was already receiving a lot of praise. At the time of review, for the Razer Viper Ultimate wireless gaming mouse (opens in a new tab), we found it to be one of the highest productivity we’ve seen (opens in a new tab). The idea that Razer has an optical sensor greater than 30k and has more software means it may be one of the most accurate wireless mice we’ve seen. Although we will definitely have to review one before reaching this conclusion.
The Viper V2 Pro is also 20% lighter than the previous Viper and weighs 58 grams. The Razer Viper 8KHz weighs 71g and is on our list of favorite light gaming mice (opens in a new tab). Even our favorite lightweight mouse, SteelSeries Aerox 3 (opens in a new tab) weighs 66g. It will be attractive to see if players become aware of the recent weight loss of the Viper series.
One of the few court cases we’ve had with mice from the Viper series above is that clicks can seem a bit complicated, if not potentially fragile. The Viper V2 Pro looks to do more with the new Razer Gen 3 optical mouse switches are rated for 90 million clicks and claim to avoid double-click and bounce delays, so they feel like a significant improvement.
Unsurprisingly, this complicated new mouse also comes with an equivalent price. The Viper series has been more expensive and the Viper V2 Pro sells for $149 USD or $259. 95 AUD. It’s a great penny for a mouse, but with this 30K optical sensor and lightweight shape, the Viper V2 Pro may prove worthy.
