Our Verdict

Razer Viper V3 Pro

Orbital Pathfinder

The Orbital Pathfinder and the Razer Viper V3 Pro are lightweight wireless gaming mice that weigh the same. The Orbital stands out for its highly modular design, which lets you dramatically adjust the shape to suit your preferences. By comparison, the Razer has a low-profile shape with a moderate hump that works best for medium or large hands. It also performs somewhat better overall, making it the stronger pick for most people focused on high-level, fast-paced competitive play.
