Razer Viper 8KHz Mouse Review

The Razer Viper V2 Pro and the Razer Viper 8KHz are very similar mice from the same lineup. They share the same shape, but the V2 Pro connects wirelessly, while the 8KHz is a wired-only mouse. The V2 Pro is also lighter and feels a bit sturdier. That said, while the V2 Pro supports a standard maximum polling rate of 1000hz, the 8KHz supports a maximum polling rate of up to 8000Hz.

The Razer Cobra and the Razer Viper 8KHz have the same symmetrical shape, but the Cobra is smaller. The Cobra is lighter and has RGB lighting, which the Viper lacks. On the other hand, the Viper 8KHz has a slightly more lightweight and flexible cable, better sensor accuracy, and it supports a higher maximum polling rate of 8000Hz.

The Razer Viper 8KHz performs better than the Razer Viper Mini for most uses, though both mice look similar. The 8KHz is slightly bigger and feels a little more comfortable, especially if you have medium or large hands. Performance-wise, it has a much wider CPI range that you can adjust more precisely and with very little variation. It also has a lower lift-off distance and an outstanding maximum polling rate of 8000Hz, which results in smoother movement, though we don't test for this. Lastly, the 8KHz features two side buttons on each side, while the Mini only has two buttons on its left side. That said, the Mini is smaller and weighs a bit less, so it may be a better choice for people with smaller hands, especially those using a fingertip grip.

The Razer Viper 8KHz and the Endgame Gear OP1 8k are wired gaming mice with symmetrical shapes and 8000Hz maximum polling rates. Both mice offer exceptional raw gaming performance. On the one hand, the Endgame Gear uses SPDT mechanical switches and has lower click latency. It's also significantly more lightweight, making it easier to move more quickly and accurately. It's also noticeably smaller, so it isn't as accommodating for larger-sized hands. On the other hand, the Razer has a fully ambidextrous design with a pair of side buttons on either side. It also uses optical switches and has slightly better overall sensor performance.

The Razer Viper 8KHz and the Razer Basilisk V3 are both excellent wired gaming mice. The Viper 8Hkz is significantly lighter and has a higher maximum polling rate. It also has two side buttons on the left and right side, while the [nolink:Basilisk V3} only has side buttons on the left. On the other hand, the [nolink:Basilisk V3] has a thumb rest and three additional buttons overall. Its mouse wheel also has L/R functions and a free-scrolling mode that you can set to enable automatically.
