Our Verdict

Razer Viper Ultimate

Gamesense Meta

The Razer Viper Ultimate is an amazing wireless gaming mouse, while the Gamesense Meta is an excellent wired gaming mouse. You can use the Razer either wirelessly via its USB receiver or wired with its cable. It has smoother-gliding mouse feet, more programmable buttons thanks to its Hypershift feature, and slightly lower click latency. Also, it has a wider CPI range, and you can adjust its CPI more precisely. On the other hand, the Gamesense is lighter.
