Razer Viper V3 Pro
A featherweight esports mouse with flawless tracking and an 8K dongle in the box. Expensive, and the taller rear shape divides opinion.

The verdict
Reviewers agree the Viper V3 Pro is one of the strongest esports mice around. KitGuru, TweakTown, PC Gamer and TechRadar all praise its 54 g weight, excellent Focus Pro 35K sensor, solid build and stable wireless, and they welcome Razer including the 8K HyperPolling dongle rather than selling it separately. The criticisms are the price, much shorter battery life when you run 8K polling, a spec sheet that doesn’t do much its rivals can’t, and a taller rear hump that some testers liked less than the older Viper.
Buyers at Walmart and MediaMarkt rate it highly, mainly for the low weight, snappy clicks and battery life at normal polling rates. The complaints that come up are the price, grip tape wearing out, and a few reports of a noisy scroll wheel. The sample is still small, so its Player score is marked Early.
It’s built for competitive FPS players with a claw or fingertip grip who want the lightest high-end option. It’s a poor fit for productivity or for left-handed players, since the side buttons sit on the left edge only.
