Should've called it the Death Viper. Or idk.

I just miss when the Model O came out and there was so much hype because it was the first holey lightweight mouse to be accessible

Little tidbit of info for Techne... The DeathAdder V3 is close in shape to the now defunct Razer Mamba. It's production name was Mamba V2 - then somewhere along the way they've implemented some things from the DeathAdder, and it became the DeathAdder V3 - which is essentially a DeathAdder/Mamba hybrid lol

I think the reason the clicks sound different on the v3 is because they are using the gen 2 switches and the v2 is using the gen 3 ones.

Techne, actually the Darmoshark M3 s "Varun" is a symetrical mouse, similar to the Pulsar X2 (medium). But I find that type of mouse to be good too because of the higher hump.

IMPORTANT PSA: Regards the battery situation - on Synapse there's an option under the Power tab, where you can select the type of battery so the status of it can be correctly reported.

Clearly Razer is working on redesigning their mice. Not necessarily bad but it's kind of weird considering the image these mice developed over the years. I have mixed feelings about what a Basilisk v4 is going to look like now lol.

looks interesting, i like the sensor position but im not a fan of having to use a battery i might wait for a pro version

Im a big fan of the forward sensor placement, after I got used to the mouse I for sure aim better. Took a chance getting this mouse because i have never been a big fan of Razer products, but this thing is awesome for the price. I put a AAA Battery with a conversion sleeve in it to get the weight down as low as possible. Great video Techne!

Great review as always

The click thing you mention happens to me with my GPX when playing Valorant, don’t notice it in any other games so I must be clicking way harder in Val, I don’t even see it in CS which is weird because CS and Val are so similar.

it's so weird seeing a "viper" mouse without that little indent thing at the back of the mouse buttons, that is one of my favorite parts design vise on the viper ultimate that i use currently

Hey Techne, I currently have the DAV3 Pro. do you think I should switch to the DAV3 wired?

Got lucky and was able to scoop up the viper signature edition on the most recent restock.... Happy I got the last good release from razer related to the viper lol....

1. I feel vibration in both black and white Orochis and in Deathadder v2x when using AA lithium batteries. So I started using AAA lithium rechargeable batteries. 2. I really don't understand why Razer didn't make the top shell removable. Even in the middle of a match, I change the battery in my Orochi and v2x as quickly as Red Bull change tires at the pit stop in Formula 1. 3. Looks like Razer has decided that I already have enough Razer mouse models and don't need new ones...

thanks for the honest review

Looking at the shape and how it rests in your lower palm, I think I'll like to make this my main since I'm also looking at something similar. My question is how does it compare to the G304/305 (I don't know the difference of these names other than country sold), the G303 Shroud or the Asus TUF M4 Wireless/ Asus Harpe Aim size wise? These are few mice I'm wondering for mixed claw grip style. Heck I'm even wondering if it's better than the Cobra Pro. This was a great insight of this new product.

I am currently using this mouse with a lithium AA battery. I definitely feel the weight a little bit coming from the GPX, but It's not anything that affected my gameplay.

The Mamba Wireless was essentially a flat sided Deathadder and the Deathadder V3 is basically what would've resulted if they kept the Mamba name going. The Viper V3 seems like it's trying to unify the 3rd Generation of their product lines but jeez they are really going the current Apple route of all these convoluted mice releases. The Viper V3 would benefit greatly with some rechargeable AA NiMH or maybe even AA style/ sized rechargeable lithium seeing as how the battery life is far shorter than that of the Orochi V2 and Logitech G305. This may be a budget mouse but overall cost of ownership may not.

i have problems, i dont know but sometimes has delay or no response, my pc is closer to the mouse. sometimes when i make a fast movement the mouse is cold on the screen i dont know what to do, how can i check the status of the mouse? or you recomend me make use of the garanty? sorry for my english i started to learns 1 month ago

what's the diff between shape of this and dav3?

Cool the shape is different. Wish they'd get rid of the AA / AAA battery stuff. Make the orochi into modern standards and others

techne can you review the steelseries aerox wireless mouse please?

original viper shape is the best mouse i ever used, been there with gprox, finalmouse etc. but still viper original has the best shape for me. Did use deahtadder and that shape was no go

Techne what are your PC specs?

I have a feeling Razer will be releasing another variant of this down the line (viper v3 pro) with a built in battery and stuff thats competitive with the gpx2.

Is this the Viadder or the Deathper ?

I play on a 240hz monitor and I couldn’t tell a difference of 4k vs 1k polling either so I feel you, Techne.

Please make a review on the Razer Blackshark V2 Hyperspeed and compare it with the Blackshark V2 Pro (2023)

what comes next the DeathCopperViper RGB PRO?

what is up with the battery? Why we going back to regular than built in rechargeable ones?

I picked one of these up, swapping the included alkaline for a lighter lithium battery is absolutely necessary. The weight balance with an alkaline is just wrong. Put a AA Energizer lithium in it, far better. I'm enjoying it but the point about the weight being bottom heavy in the review I agree with, with the alkaline, it's almost unusable for competitive shooters but drop a lighter lithium in, it's very nice.

just bought it...its light and responsive..have to time test it...but it weighs less then my wired basilisk v3....no sense of it containing a off setting battery at all...the shape is ideal for my hand..to each his or her own.

Thanks you Rock. :)

I've been researching what I'm gonna get for my new mouse. I'm still on my first ever gaming mouse (Standard Razer viper wired) been using it for a little over 3 years and I'm trying to get a new mouse that fits my hand a little better and get a more controlled feeling out of it. The viper is a little too thin side to side for my preference and wish it was slightly more round on the top but besides that the size is fine. I use claw grip and was thinking about the deathadder v3 Pro but I'm not very sure. Anyone got any suggestions?

yoooo, that looks TIGHT! how many kHertz we twalkin hea? oh no, loose drop in battery? they need to cut off the tips of the buttons to flush them with the end of the middle section. The difference between swiping the tip of your mouse into your keyboard and it catching vs a shorter smoother surface to glide by.

now we need a mini version

why did they make a viper with a battery to begin with? should've been a wired version and a pro version like before.

Would you recommend buying this (the viper v3), or the new Logitech G pro X superlight 2? I'm upgrading from a Pulsefire Haste

Lost me when you see a battery this day and age. 🤣 good review though mate.

Interesting mouse. Great review :)

Me personally, I think this mouse feels well balanced. I thought it’d feel back heavy, but it’s just the weight is higher than what I was used to.. (the death adder V3 Pro) so it took a day or two to get used to it. So it’s just the the little weight difference you notice, not that it’s back heavy because that just isn’t true, with the lithium AA battery it feels really good overall, still heavier than the death adder v3 pro and the viper v2 pro but it feels incredibly well balanced. If I grab it with just two fingers right in the middle of the mouse it is absolutely balanced, More so than most mouse’s I’ve tried, I think the main thing is this new Viper V3 shape, it’s incredible. IMO it’s the best shape I’ve ever tried. And the side buttons are the best I’ve ever had on a mouse period. The way they are spaced and how far they stick out is just incredible. I bought this mouse KNOWING I was going to be disappointed and knew I was going to return it before ever actually trying it, and after I used it I’m actually pleasantly surprised a “mid tier” budget wireless mouse could be this good. The switches also feel incredibly satisfying. I prefer their feel over the optical mechanical switches in the V2 pro and V3 death adder pro. Came into this super skeptical and was harping on it all day long. And now I’m having a hard time taking it off my desk after using it! To anyone who’s skeptical, please just try it. Either with the lithium AA or even go with the AAA battery mod to make it stupid light. It’s A Fantastic mouse. And I’m not ashamed to say it. lol. Just one’s humble opinion! PS; it is possible it could feel slightly back heavy with the included regular Alkaline AA battery. But with the Lithium AA or a mod with the AAA lithium battery it’s is extremely balanced. I barely used it with the included Alkaline AA as it was a bit too heavy for my liking with that battery, so I can’t speak to the way it really truly feels without a lithium battery I definitely feel like it was intended to be used with a lithium battery but to cut down on the price razer just ships it with a standard alkaline. Hopes this helps anyone on the fence about this mouse! Take care everyone!

A few notes: You can just add the weights of the components together :D Also, who doesn't use the mouse without the door??? Why is it even worth measuring without it?

The battery turned me off. Thx fir the info.

cool beard man

The Dave appears to be close to Mamba moreso than DA but since Mamba was never that popular to begin with, Razer capitalized on already established name, such a shame. As for the Viper V3, i understand the decision of not having AAA slot this time around since there were many flaws with the Orochi when it comes to structural integrity and tolerances but i wish they would provided customers with AAA adapter out of the box since most wouldn't have one laying around and Razer are already saving up from providing a cheap AA battery this time around rather than Lithium one as they did with the Orochi. Like, come on, in such bulk it'd cost them 0.10$ or something.

Question what's the best wired headset right now? I've watched so many videos I'm honestly confused now.

If they make a wired 8khz version it will be lighter than the hyperspeed version

Hope there will be a pro model of this, cant stand batteries

They should keep the shape of the original viper the only reason I keep buying them because the shape of the original viper fits perfectly for me.

Since Cobras release I dont get their naming scheme.

I just bought basilisk v3 x.. and now this

Using 4K how long willl this battery last ????

Is it me or is Razer product not that durable? All of my Razer mice died after a year, I have a Razer Viper Ultimate and a Razer Orochi. Razer warranty is a pain to do, takes forever to process. Currently, using Logitech G305 shroud edition, absolutely love it.

TheTechne suddenly revealing himself as the real villain of review youtubers. :P Nice goatee. Wait, batteries? Surprising. I guess this is the cheap version. Not that I have a problem with batteries. Yep, 70$, not bad at all.

the battery cover looks very strange

"Mechanical Switches" GGEZ

These companies think they can get away with anything. I love my viper ultimate, lightweight, with rgb, and with charging dock

Viper ultimate or viper v3?

razer knows what ppl want, and they release something no one asked for. a couple times now. they botched the viper mini wireless anticipation real bad. they took a mouse that was primarily popular for being cheap, good shape and weight none the less, but pricing made it very appealing, and they made a 300 dollar wireless version that launches in drops. my only guess is the enthusiast level users dont account for nearly as much as the mainstream user. and lightweight good mice, arent their focus, because an unfertilized egg could have told you exactly what the community wanted from them.

so v3 > ultimate > v2 pro 10/10 naming system there

When did you get all the tats?!

Looks like a darmoshark m3 just heavier

Comparing the shapes it looks like a slightly tapered gpx.

Yeaaaaah, I’m sticking with v2 pro

Too many variants diff names specs pro this or that. Kill off what isnt selling and stick to something. How could this be a upgrade over a viper v2 pro? Makes no sense

Techne, I got an idea for you, why not do some new reviews of "Budget" mice, and put Razer & Logitech aside for a little while. lol I found a new Budget mouse that looks fantastic, its called the Darmoshark M3s, the "Varun". It is NOT the original M3, but a slightly smaller one (hence "s") that is more like an Atlantis mouse. It looks like a real BANGER, and for cheap (2k wireless for $50)! I haven't bought it yet, waiting for REVIEWS! REVIEW IT FIRST TECHNE! Beat the Ninja Rocketman and others to the punch. I listen to your reviews generally because I also have a large hand & like the ergos. I think its slightly ergo, but would appreciate your input before buying. Computer gaming stuff is kind of expensive these days!

This has been a terrible year for mice from Razer and Logitech. I don’t know what is going on with them right now.

Wtf with their branding... i thought it will be cobra, cobra pro and cobra superlight (like u know, full pack of small mices) but this is strange... it looks more like new symmetrical DA.

Razer's been bad on naming their products for some time now. I have an Ornata v3, which is a clear downgrade to the v2 and can be seen from the pricing as well (v2 was $100, v3 is $60). For the new Deathadders and Vipers to come along though; I'm seeing Razer breaking away from that "✨RGB gaming products✨" brand image to a more professional one and I think this "more professional" approach explains the design changes on their two main mice lineups. I honestly appreciate the change; I still liked the older DA and the Viper but the newer ones look very simplistic and more focused on their purpose. I wouldn't wanna see thousands of different names for products with every single design change. "Viper" for their ambi mouse and "Deathadder" for their ergo works for me. I'm wondering how the Viper V3 Pro will be like now. I only wish Razer was a bit more open-minded in offering different sizes but still, I think they're going in the right direction.

So, no longer ambidextrous? Seems like a core feature of the Razer V2 is missing. The upside of this... I finally have a reason to shop for a new mouse brand and get rid of this abysmal Synapse software.

Good one 🇸🇪😉👌🏻

They could have changed the shape without changing the Viper aesthetic. I really don't understand.

Deathadder 3 should be called mambadder

70 bucks, 280 hours battery life and sure seems like it's better value than the GPXSL2

In my opinion, the viper ultimate was one of the best gaming mice ever made and it's been downgrades since in the series...

Love the goatee or what ever it is

if the sensor wasn't so high i would've bought it tbh lol.

We're past due for a new Razer Mamba

I would use this for office work, not gaming

Wait a minute!!! Its not April 1st!! Is it? This is basically a cheap DA v3

Please review the new Razer Blackshark V2 Hyperspeed! Another confusing name 😂

Death adders are true cobras despite the name same family of snakes.

Blackwidow V4 😏

Omg, Razer competing with the G305, and I'm all for it. Going to get a copy for myself for sure.

Razer just goes "Yup, we dont like moneh~ so just take this new frankenstein mouse"

I’m a weirdo and like the Naga Pro…

It feels like a new guy is in charge at Razer and they just try idk something. The naming schemes just make no sense anymore at this point.

It's not confusing, it's a great mouse, I want it. I wished for a deathadder ambi combo in the beginning. I've even said it on reddit. Insane they did it. Also it's not so light which I LOVE. I hate ultra low weight mices. 70 is fine at most.

Stay True. 😊

it looks like a death adder

Viper v2 pro and dav v3 pro had a child😂

I hate all wireless products Is there wired version?

bro your lucky they dont call it rattlesnake, it will messes some more in your head haha

Razer isn't even out of snake names to use for new shapes, they need to stop doing this.

The weight 100% kills this for me. I was so hyped on the specs and price.. What a shame.

I mean really wth is that mouse? They even say "82g Lightweight" LMFAO... At least should have gave this one the side buttons on both sides to make it, idk, different?

cmon razer can clearly do a usb rechargeable battery mouse for literaly 10 more buck

It's almost like they are trying a new shape on a "budget'" mouse and copied Pulsar in the process.

This is to compete with a lot of the cheaper mice from the Chinese market.
