Performance

Under the hood, the Mouse packs some severe specs that include Razer’s Focus+ Optical Sensor, Razer Optical Mouse Switches, and of course, Hyperspeed wireless technology, too. Razer’s Wireless Hyperspeed Connectivity offers a solid connection and 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 lightweight wireless gaming mouse is designed to give you 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 the innovative and comfortable design.

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 week without running out of battery when I measured it during intense gaming.

I spent about 2-3% per hour, resulting 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 color 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.

Razer Viper Ultimate Software

You will be advised to install Razer Synapse to customize the CPI settings, lighting, and profiles to be saved for all Razer products. Indeed, this mouse will work without software installation, but to get the most out of it, Synapse is a must. The mouse can store up to five profiles in its internal memory, which is standard for high-end products. This software allows you to customize and save as many shapes as you want. On the PC side of the Synapse software, swap them out as you move games in and out in rotation.

The Razer Synapse 3 software is excellent and convenient for those who want it. You can easily customize most of the ways you want to use the mouse via this mouse and save your settings in the internal memory, meaning you don’t have to download the software on another computer when switching devices. Unfortunately, this is not available on macOS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Razer Ultimate worth it?

The Viper Ultimate could be the best wireless gaming mouse you can get. It’s arguably expensive, but the G Pro Wireless is still more costly and doesn’t have a dock. The Viper Ultimate also outperforms it in many other ways – it has a better cable, more advanced sensors, and is lighter.

Why is the Razer Viper Ultimate so good?

Well, maybe for some, the Razer Viper Ultimate is a better gaming mouse than the Razer DeathAdder Elite because people have different hand sizes. Its wireless design eliminates cable clutter, and it also feels lighter. Click latency is lower, and when used with a cable, the cable is more delicate than other mouse cables.

Is Viper Ultimate worth it in 2023?

No. But trust us when we say this mouse still excels and outperforms its newer counterpart, the Razer Viper V2 Pro. The V2 Pro lacks the wireless charging function and costs more, so we recommend the Viper Ultimate.

RAZER FOCUS+ OPTICAL SENSOR

Our new and improved sensor has an industry-leading 20,000 DPI with 99.6% resolution accuracy, ensuring that the best movements of this wireless mouse are tracked consistently.
