Our Verdict

Razer Viper V3 Pro

Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro

The Razer Viper V3 Pro and the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro are lightweight wireless gaming mice designed for high-level competitive play. They use virtually the same internal components and deliver similarly outstanding raw performance. The main difference is shape: the Viper has a low-profile symmetrical shape with a moderate hump in the middle, making it a versatile option for most hand sizes and grip types. In contrast, the DeathAdder has a larger, more curvaceous right-handed shape with a taller, more pronounced hump, making it a better fit for larger hands using a palm grip.

    How come the older Viper V3 Pro seems to have better test results in many important aspects than the newer DA V4 Pro when the new DA has updated hardware and is suppose to be an improvement and the best in the lineup??

    Personally I think its just how the sensor is set up, a lot of the negatives are in relation to the latency and physical motion, which in major part is due to the forced motion sync.
