Razer Viper Optical Mouse Review

From the creators of the Boomslang, Razer has released a new gaming mouse with optical technology. The Razer Viper is their latest product, and brings with it 1000dpi precision (most optical mice track at 800dpi) as well as losing the ball for the optical sensor most users are familiar with. I should point out the obvious… a piece of hardware will not convert you from a lousy gamer to a great gamer. If your gaming skills are lacking, and you pick up a fancy mouse, you’ll end up being a lousy gamer with less money in their pockets. The Viper definitely has its advantages over other mice, such as the higher sensitivity and precision, and it can give you an edge if you play a lot of fast paced action games.

The Razer Viper Optical mouse is comfortable in most scenarios, but is not an ergonomic masterpiece. I still find the larger Logitech and Microsoft mice more comfortable to use in day-to-day use, but if you don’t sit at your PC for more than a few hours at a time, you should be fine. As we’ve already mentioned, the mouse is very sensitive, and if you’re looking for that extra edge, the Viper can provide it.
