But small and medium-sized hands will also feel comfortable with a palm or claw grip. It also comes with a suitable charging station that acts as a range extender receiver for better performance.
Design
Took all the trappings of esports and original design choices and stuck it to a wireless gaming mouse that, like all Razer wireless models, injects high-end features to justify a high-end price tag. The mouse is an ambidextrous mouse that’s perfect for left-handed or right-handed play. It is very symmetrical, with two thumb buttons on either side, making eight programmable buttons.
The Razer Viper Ultimate manages to cut the cord without significant compromises in its design, making it the best wireless esports mouse I’ve ever used. It’s pricey for the whole experience, but if you’re confident about wireless connectivity and performance, it’s worth it. It generates our Editor.

Performance
Under the hood, the Mouse packs some severe specs that include Razer’s Focus+ Optical Sensor, Razer Optical Mouse Switches, and of course, that Hyperspeed wireless technology too. Razer’s Wireless Hyperspeed Connectivity offers not only a solid connection but also low latency. Combine that with a max speed of 650 (IPS – i.e. inches per second, ensuring the mouse can stay engaged with sizable movements).
The maximum acceleration is 50G (i.e. how fast the mouse can adjust to changes in speed), which adds up to an agile and accurate mouse that responds instantly. Weighing just 74g, this is a lightweight wireless gaming mouse designed to give you still a competitive edge. It’s one of the very light wireless gaming mice you can buy. It’s also fun to use and play with. That’s partly because of the powerful specs and partly because of the innovative and comfortable design.

The Viper Ultimate is also equipped with Razer’s HyperSpeed Wireless transmission technology, which is 25% faster than the competition. According to Razer, you should achieve a latency of less than 0.2ms, which is the same as the wired version of the Viper.
Battery
With a long-lasting battery, you can keep playing for days without worrying about charging. Razer claims it will last 70 hours between charges. My experience is not far off. I used it as my primary mouse for a whole week without running out of battery when I measured it during intense gaming.
I spent about 2-3% per hour, which would result in a battery life of between 35 and 50 hours. In conclusion, the battery life is impressive. Using it for days without having to worry about running out is valuable. And it will go from 0 to 100% in roughly two hours while you charge it. The light on the charging dock changes colour depending on how charged the mouse is, which is a neat touch, and an easy way to see how much juice is left without Alt-Tabbing from the game to open Razer Synapse.
Price
The Razer Viper Ultimate is now available on the Razer website for US$149.99
