Our Verdict

Dell Alienware AW510M

Razer Viper Mini

The Razer Viper Mini is an excellent, ultra-lightweight wired gaming mouse, while the Dell Alienware AW510M is a good, versatile gaming mouse. The Razer is much lighter and has a more flexible cable. It also has mouse feet that glide much smoother and significantly lower click latency. On the other hand, the Dell has a distinctive shape with a thumb and pinky rest. It also has four additional programmable buttons, including an additional side button. Performance-wise, it has a wider CPI range and a lower lift-off distance. The Dell is well-suited for nearly all hand sizes with a palm or claw grip, while the Razer is best-suited for a fingertip grip.
