The Raze Viper is one of the company’s most trust-worthy gaming mice on the market. But, like many others on the market, it’s a bit too big for some gamers who prefer to have a lighter and smaller gaming mouse. That’s when the Razer Viper Mini comes in handy. Including the brand’s stellar hardware combined with a smaller size really results in the perfect mouse for those looking for something a bit less chunky. Let me explain.
Small mouse, a small price
Razer has a lot of options when it comes to gaming mice and it’s often difficult to pick the one that fits your style in the best way possible. When it comes to great gaming mice, Razer always stands for quality, although the price is sometimes a bit steep. Things are about to change however thanks to the Viper Mini. Weighing only 61 grams, this is the lightest mouse in the line-up and it also comes at a smaller price. You’ll be able to get this in stores for just under 40 bucks, which is incredibly low for the amount of quality you get.
First things first, the design. It’s really everything you would expect from it and maybe even better. It clearly kept the traditional Razer Viper look and combined it with some features of the Viper Ultimate to come up with the perfect design. The Viper Mini comes in classful matte black with some glossy accents to make it pop. It also supports the Ultimate’s RGB glow underneath the scrolling wheel, which makes it extremely pleasant to look at. Of course, everything is a lot more compact than you’re used to and the gaming mouse is at the smaller size but that doesn’t mean it lost any of its style points. For its price, this is a more than decent design if you ask me!
Everything you need in a gaming mouse
Now apart from the design, the mouse itself comes with everything you would expect from one of the better gaming mice. The grip and hold feels natural, even though Razer cut the traditional rubber on the sides, thanks to the buttons underneath your thumb, you’ll never lose track of this little guy, even in the heat of combat. It has a total of six buttons to mess around with and depending on your favorite genre, you can implement these buttons to your benefit. It’s also still possible to change the DPI from 100 to 8500 and cycle between several stages with the help of the well-placed button on top of the mouse. Everything you need is within your reach and it never loses the quality you’re used to with Razer product. For example, even in this small product, you’re still able to save your favorite profile so you never need to remap the buttons when you’re gaming on location.
Another great feature is its Speedflex cable which is really extremely flexible and light so it never comes in your way while playing. Although the mouse comes with a more traditional Optical Sensor compared to the premium one found in the bigger models, it’s never something that bothered me. This one is still incredibly fast and I never got the feeling I moved my gun or character too slow during online matches. It’s really a great mouse to add to your collection and without the doubt one of the better ones on the market in its smaller size.
Conclusion:
The Razer Viper Mini is one of the best smaller gaming mice on the market as it combines the quality of standard Razer products with the weight and size of a compact premium product. If you think the standard gaming mice or just too big or too chunky, this one will fill in all your needs and will easily become your favorite mouse in mere seconds. Definitely worth giving a shot!
