Our Verdict
Logitech G502 HERO
Razer Viper Mini
The Razer Viper Mini and the Logitech G502 HERO are very good FPS gaming mice with different designs. The Razer is a fantastic option for fans of ultra-light gaming mice. It’s much smaller, significantly lighter, and has an ambidextrous design well-suited for a fingertip grip. On the other hand, the Logitech has a more ergonomic shape with a thumb rest on the left side, but it’s heavy. It should be a better fit for people with larger hands. Its sensor performs a bit better, with a wider CPI range that you can adjust more precisely, a lot less CPI variation, and a lower lift-off distance.
