Our Verdict

Razer Viper

Razer Viper 8KHz

The Razer Viper and the Razer Viper 8KHz have the same shape and design, but the 8KHz has smoother-gliding feet and a thicker cable. It also has a lower click latency and has onboard memory. The biggest difference between the two is the 8000Hz polling rate on the 8KHz, which means its cursor movements should feel more fluid, though we don't currently test this. If you want a future-proof mouse with onboard memory, the 8KHz is an excellent choice.
