Does this premium, high-performance wireless peripheral really live up to the hype, though?
This review was made possible with a review sample provided by Razer.
The company did not see the contents of the review before publishing.
That Razer logo often comes with a high price tag, but in this case it may be worth it.
I saynearlyzero, of course, because these mice aren’t entirely identical.
Externally, Razer moved the upward-facing DPI profile button to the bottom, combining it with the power button.
Personally, I have mixed feelings about this.
These new feet have anoticeableimpact on the smoothness of the Viper V3 Pro over the Viper V3 HyperSpeed.
Alienware also slightly bests Razer in terms of overall comfort, however.
After all, that’s exactly what this mouse is all about.
Can you tell these two mice apart?
The foundation of this performance is the new Razer Focus Pro 35K Optical Sensor Gen-2.
Elsewhere, numbers continue to impress with speeds of 750 inches-per-second and acceleration of up to 70G.
What’s important is that in every situation, the Razer Viper V3 Pro feels instantaneous and buttery smooth.
A better sensor, smoother feet, and lower weight — it’s all obvious from the bottom.
In games, though, these problems never cropped up.
Viper V3 Pro review: Everything else
Other highlights
Let’s wrap everything up.
Unfortunately, wired polling rates are limited to 1,000Hz, which is a baffling limitation.
The Viper V3 Pro is by far the more performant mouse on paper, but I still love the Alienware Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse.
However, it’s also expensive.
For the competitive games where speed is everything, this is an incredible mouse.
The Razer Viper V3 Pro is the best high-performance esports gaming mouse in the world.
I have to admit, Razer really impressed me with these new feet and its advanced Focus Pro 35K Optical Sensor.
Either way, well done to Razer for the Viper V3 Pro it’s a marvel.
The HyperPolling dongle being included in the box shows the target audience for this mouse.
There’s a good chance I’ll be returning to Alienware after this review, but the Viper V3 Pro is still an excellent mouse.
If you’re looking for the best possible performance, the Razer Viper V3 Pro won’t disappoint.
