The Razer Viper V2 Pro is an ultra-lightweight, wireless gaming mouse that continues Razer's popular Viper lineup. It has the same symmetrical shape but incorporates major design changes and improvements over the Razer Viper Ultimate. Razer has significantly reduced the weight of this mouse; however, they've accomplished this in part by removing several features of the previous generations, including side grips, RGB lighting, and ambidextrous controls. Besides weight changes, this mouse also has a new Razer Focus Pro 30K sensor and uses a new generation of optical switches. Razer also indicates they've improved battery life and wireless performance.
Note: We've received feedback from users reporting that they have received this mouse with a defective wireless receiver. We've included more details about this issue in the Wireless Versatility section below.
Our Verdict
Though not specifically for this use, the Razer Viper V2 Pro is decent for office and multimedia use. It connects wirelessly with its USB receiver, and you can reprogram buttons to perform productivity actions and macros using the customization software. Unfortunately, there's no Bluetooth support. Also, the scroll wheel lacks a free-scrolling mode and left/right tilt inputs for horizontal scrolling.

Popular Mouse Comparisons
The Razer Viper V2 Pro is a continuation of Razer's popular Viper lineup. It features several improvements, including a brand new sensor, a new generation of optical switches, and a significantly lighter weight than their previous flagship model, the Razer Viper Ultimate. However, this weight saving comes at the cost of several features that characterized earlier generations of this mouse, including the RGB lighting, rubberized side grips, and an optional charging dock. This mouse only has a pair of side buttons on the left, while the Razer Viper Ultimate and Razer Viper 8KHz featured buttons on either side, making them popular options for left-handed users. Overall, this mouse is a high-performance option that competes directly with similar flagship models like the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT. However, given its reduced feature set and premium price point, it won't be a perfect fit for everyone.

The Razer Viper V3 Pro and the Razer Viper V2 Pro are high-performance, lightweight wireless gaming mice with similar symmetrical shapes from the same lineup. The V3 has an updated shape with a slightly rounder hump and is ever-so-slightly bigger.

The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT and the Razer Viper V2 Pro are high-end wireless gaming mice with symmetrical shapes. The two perform very similarly and weigh virtually the same, though the Razer is marginally lighter. The Razer also has a slightly wider CPI range and a USB-C charging cable, while the Logitech uses an older micro-USB charging cable. On the other hand, the Logitech's shape accommodates a wider range of hand sizes and grip types. Its customization software is also compatible with Windows and macOS, while the Razer software is only compatible with Windows.
The Razer Viper V2 Pro and the Razer Cobra Pro are wireless gaming mice with similar shapes, but the Cobra Pro is noticeably smaller. Both mice share the same internal components and offer similarly exceptional performance, but the Viper V2 Pro is significantly more lightweight. On the other hand, the Cobra Pro has customizable RGB lighting zones, Bluetooth support, and two extra programmable buttons (one of which is on the bottom of the mouse).
The Razer Viper V2 Pro and the Razer Viper Ultimate are very similar mice in the same lineup. The two mice share the same shape, but the V2 Pro is significantly lighter and has an improved sensor with a wider CPI range.
