Our Verdict

Razer Viper 8KHz

Razer DeathAdder V3

The Razer DeathAdder V3 and the Razer Viper 8KHz are wired gaming mice with extremely similar high-end gaming performance. The DeathAdder V3 is significantly lighter and has a right-handed shape. On the other hand, the Viper 8Khz  has a symmetrical shape. Both mice support a maximum polling rate of 8000Hz.
