Our Verdict
Razer Viper Mini
Logitech G PRO HERO
The Razer Viper Mini and the Logitech G PRO HERO are two excellent choices for gaming. The Razer is significantly lighter, and it comes with a better cable and better feet. It also has a few more programmable inputs, and its click latency is even lower than the Logitech. That said, the Logitech has a better sensor overall, with a wider CPI range that you can adjust more precisely, a lot less CPI variation, and a lower lift-off distance. Also, it's fully compatible with both Windows and macOS, while Razer's companion software isn't available on macOS.
