Razer Viper Ultimate Review, 2 years at the TOP or WASHED champ? Honest thoughts in 2022

Рет қаралды 37,239

Күн бұрын

When the Razer Viper Ultimate released in 2019 it was absolutely a step forward for Razer and the mouse industry as one of the lightest wireless mice around packing optical switches, week long battery life and a best-in-class 3399 sensor from Pixart.
We've just passed the 2 year anniversary of the Razer Viper Ultimate and haven't seen any news of a revision or successor in the near future so thought it would be good to revisit the Viper Ultimate and ask if it's still worthy of it's place at the top of the mouse game.

I mean it's a great mouse but don't know what local budget option there are for you in Asia? There's some pretty decent local OEM like the Ironcat or even a g61s if you don'tind a wire for nearer $40-50. Gretxa 3370 custom on TaoBao was nearer $60 too last I checked and is a similar shape? I'd say if you can get the Viper Ultimate at $100 it's a fair price for the mouse.

I've recently stared using this mouse, and it will take me a while to get used to it. I switched from a mmo mouse that had 12 buttons on the side. The mmo mouse is the only mouse I had so I used it on all the games I would play. Everyone says that a lightweight mouse with 2 buttons on the side is way better for fps games, but with my mouse, I can mostly bind everything on the side buttons and only have to worry about using WASD, cause I sometimes do be hitting the wrong key when I'm using the razer mouse and it does get a little annoying, but I will get used to it eventually. I was still so shocked on how light the razer mouse was when I took it out of the box and started using it.

I switched back to my g304 after abt 6 months with the viper ult. Mainly because one, it kept having connectivity issues wherein the mouse would just completely stop responding, and I have to wait a good 3-5 mins for it to be good again. And the dock, god the dock. It worked wonders at first, but later down the line it just stopped charging the mouse properly. I have to keep readjusting it and its a chore. Mind you, I never dropped the mouse or the dock. Might have gotten a defect unit but oh well. If any of you had this problem, leave a reply too, just wanna know.

@GoodEnoughTechReviews 2 жыл бұрын

At the same price (or within a $10 range), the Viper Ultimate is in its own league compared to the Gretxa. Gretxa is a great mouse for those on a budget though so all comes down to how cheaply you can find either mouse and how much your budget will stretch to. Seeing Gretxa V2 retailing for around the $85 with tax and shipping so it's kinda getting close to the $99 that the Viper Ultimate and Dock are selling for on Amazon atm.

Build quality and sensor tbh, 3370 isn't bad but viper uses the 3399 (Focus+) which has fantastic tracking and still not seen outside of a Razer mouse.

Not as far as I can tell, on the black the default state is rainbow cycle and on the Mercury, default state is green... I think you need synpase active to define a custom RGB state (although sensitivity, brightness and LOD are stored onboard). You can turn off RGB and uninstall synapse and it will remain off so I guess that's one way to get around it if you really don't want synpase installed and don't want a colour clash?

Honestly comes down to your comfort with the shape between the two. Viper Ultimate side buttons really are still a weak point on it yeah sadly. They're usable and you can get used to it but they'll never be good side buttons. They made them low profile so the opposite side ones you're not using don't get in the way of your grip. On the GPW you get magnetic caps to replace the buttons you're not using instead, much better solution tbh.

I got the version with the charging dock and the dock itself is the only thing I don't like about it. Maybe it's just mine because I was unlucky and got a faulty one, but the lighting always switches off after 20 minutes and 90% of the time doesn't even charge the mouse when it's mounted. Could be a hardware issue but I wouldn't rule out a software issue since Razer has always had horrid software.

I think people hate on the Aerox because SteelSeries don't tend to change too much with their products very often. Although they arguably don't need to when they have products that continually sell well (Apex Pro, QcK etc...) In terms of similarity to the Aerox, from memory the Aerox has a more pronounced flare out on the back, more similar to the Endgame Gear XM1 and less inward curves at the grip. The viper also has much more noticeable comfort grooves on M1/2 which are the biggest difference for me at least in terms of feel in use.

@@GoodEnoughTechReviews thank you for that very quick reply and it was a very good video. The aerox 3 wireless only seems to be lacking in click latency and has small side buttons when compared to the viper ultimate.. Does 15ms and 6 ms make a big difference?

@GoodEnoughTechReviews 2 жыл бұрын

In all honesty, for the average person who isn't using their mouse for competition, not in the slightest, and even then, the benefits are debatable. 15ms is still a decent latency and I think if the shape is a better fit for you then the added latency will be far less detrimental to your play than feeling uncomfortable with your grip.

Orochi v2 vs viper ultimate?

@GoodEnoughTechReviews 2 жыл бұрын

I think they're kinda filling different niche's... the Orochi is a great option for fingertip play and is (at msrp) a lot cheaper. I think the Viper Ultimate is a better built mouse and feels more premium but does need larger hands to really make the most of compared with Orochi that fits smaller grips too.

Pretty good mouse. The battery has to be charged once every 3-4 days, but I just do that when I’m afk or asleep. RGB goes crazy and the software is pretty useful, but it can be annoying so I turn it off before I load into sum. Also the rubber on the right side isn’t that durable, I have a strange grip when playing cs where my nail digs into the rubber, and within like 20 hours of usage I broke a small bit of the rubber. Other than that the mouse goes crazy. Very worth it for $50 but anything above $80 I wouldn’t cop

why is there a difference in weight between each colorway

@GoodEnoughTechReviews 2 жыл бұрын

The black is unpainted, the mercury and quartz require several layers of factory paint and an almost powder coated finish to achieve. Adding these additional layers to the shell adds around 4g in weight.

@@GoodEnoughTechReviews haha so technically black one helps in gaming the most? Is the difference significant?

@GoodEnoughTechReviews 2 жыл бұрын

@@kokhoelim40 The black is 4 grams lighter so it comes down to preference really. I couldn't feel the 4g weight difference myself going 74-78g and I preferred the look and feel of the white coating enough to add the weight. Ultimately, if all you care about is the lowest weight (and price) the black is the better option yeah as it's often heavily discounted whilst the white/pink/cyberpunk editions rarely see discounts. Hope this helps!

@@Hankercheif I didn't really like it stock, the keycaps are really loose and wobble a lot - had to mod it to improve tolerances and fix the keycaps to the switches more firmly. I do really like how gaming feels on a low profile keyboard though. It's also got 0 latency wireless too, so it looks really clean on a minimalist desk without cables and clutter, especially if you also use a wireless mouse. If you don't mind having a keyboard cable I think the Fnatic Streak65 LP is a better feeling low profile keyboard to game on overall in my opinion. Although it's only a 65% board so you'd lose the Fn row and some of the system function keys. Ultimately down to how much keycap wobble bothers you and if you're prepared to pay the extra for the wireless capability on the g915, but both are great performing boards.

1. Skate s are good enough for the job 2. Side buttons are still like that because you won't want to hit them accidentally 3. Just buy the grip tape and aftermarket skates and don't complain since you don't like them 4. It's better to have it for lighting and adjustable everything just download it once and just don't care about it 5. The weight justified for a mouse that can last that long without charge and RGB + optical sensors and more side buttons. This is one of the best mice in my opinion since the software is great price is good you get a dock and everything. A very informative and good video but i think i have said some things to convince you.

I think all your points are fair - ultimately it's going to come down to preference. I do like the Viper Ultimate, so much that I bought a 2nd copy =D, but I do think that it's really a better buy at the $99 price tag it currently is, for $150 it feels a little on the high end for a 2 year old product. I appreciate it's a great mouse but I think the GPX superlight being available at a lower price and weight, kind of makes the RVU a little less attractive at full MSRP is all. Thank you for watching and your thoughtful feedback though, I don't disagree with any of the points at all.

@merkuda3805 2 жыл бұрын

@@GoodEnoughTechReviews I agree that it is a high price point and that it's a 2-year-old product. The dock itself is 50 dollars so the mouse is a 100 you can see it on the razer website and it's nice to have a thing you can just slap the mouse on and go for lunch and don't have to worry about the battery % It is a great mouse option (but it would be great if they added for 50 dollars less a mouse without the dock so it's cheaper) .
