You can buy a Kysona M600, or Attack Shark X3 Pro. For a little over $20... And they're nearly as good as the Razer or a Logitech X Pro Superlight. You won't notice a difference at all, if you're not a person that's running really high DPI.
All was great till I heard that price. I get they charge more like Corsair and I don’t mind to an extent but do people really still pay this kind of money for a gaming mouse ? Clearly they do. But there are so many great mice for under 100.
@@KitGuruTech Im actually using the Keychron mouse that they started selling ago. I am clearly not good enough to need anything more as im enjoying gaming on it, and its like a portion of the price of this. I love this Razer mouse, no doubt its better, but it is £100 better? I doubt it. I see you have the keychron keyboard in your backdrop, have you tried the keychron mouse yet?
@@Francioslusi-kg6cx No I've not tried the mouse, I'll maybe pick one up to have a look at. We have a review of the board you spotted (Q1 Max) coming soon :) - Mat
The Viper V3 Pro is a fantastic mouse. It, along with the Lamzu Maya, did not leave my desk until the new Deathadder V3 Hyperspeed came out. Now that has been my main. Razer is killing it lately. Also, to those commenting on the price, they also make the Viper V3 Hyperspeed, which has the same shape but uses a AA battery instead of a rechargeable battery, and has mechanical instead of optical switches, but at less than half the price ($55 on US Amazon as of right now).
I have been unlucky with Razer, I wouldnt say I am hard on their mice at all, but I have now had 3 fail so I have decided to buy other brands which is a shame as they are really good to use.
I've had mine for just over a month. And I bought the white version. Which some have said has a better coating. I've added grip tape anyway. Which was supplied with the mouse. I like the shape, the switches, and how light it feels in my hand. Expensive yes, but it will go on sale later this year, I'm sure.
I have had so many Razer mice and almost all of them has failed inside 12 months, or just outside 12 months. I think im just too rough on them, yet ive an old logitech thats still going.
I hate Razer's Synapse software. It's extremely bloaty, always online and impossible to block with a firewall - which feels intrusive and creepy. I tried blocking with both the standard Windows firewall as well as a third party firewall but there was still internet traffic on the Synapse processes.
I've been using the Mamba 2012 since... 2012... flawless but it's time for an upgrade I think. I think it's funny this viper seems to have a similar design; i've been waiting for something like the Mamba to come back. But, I do love the tiny RGB hint on the mamba... Anyway, maybe this is the one.
really good looking mouse, my shape, nice and light, - might be tempted. sometimes they go on sale. 160 might be asking a bit much, I hate paying over 100 for any mouse.
I like the mouse but I agree with some of the comments, its a £100 mouse, and id buy it. will wait for an amazon black friday or christmas sale to see if I can pick it up at the proper price !!
idk why razer gave this mouse a symmetrical shape, but only the left side has buttons when the right side doesn't in previous iterations of the viper, both sides had buttons
Had the V1 but it was starting to not hold a charge after 3-4 years. Went to Microcenter to pick up my Asus PG32UCDM and saw that they were up to V3. Picked it up on a whim and so far it's a nice upgrade.
please report any spam you see - we get rid of it as soon as we can. Let us know what you think about this new Razer mouse - would you buy it?
Surely they could still make good money on these selling them for £100. But £160 ?

Yeah it’s a good point
It’s Stupid money really
Hard to justify this. But if you like it and can afford it. Why not.
I don’t know how UK prices are set but in USA it’s much much cheaper at 150$ or 118 pounds.

Their software puts me off, but I didnt know you could install it, set it up then deinstall it, thats handy to know thanks man
I have been unlucky with Razer, I wouldnt say I am hard on their mice at all, but I have now had 3 fail so I have decided to buy other brands which is a shame as they are really good to use.
Their build quality has always been lacking.
The DPI settings now are becoming a bit silly
I always liked the Viper mice - good products, just a bit expensive for what you get IMO.
Agreed
Yeah a bit indeed 😂
Keychron keyboard in the background well done on that purchase !
Absolutely loving the precision on the Razer Viper V3 Pro! 🔥 Perfect for FPS games.
Makes a lot of sense. If it cost £90 not £160 !
Just got the Viper V3 Pro, and it's a beast. Can't recommend it enough for FPS enthusiasts!
Great review mat, love that keyboard too, I hope you review it soon!
Thanks - Review of the Q1 Max coming soon! :)
@@KitGuruTech Welcome!!
Oh I have an older version of this almost identical shape, I love their mice - never had any issues either !
The Mamba?
I like the shape of this, will suit my hand well
Finally found my go-to mouse for competitive gaming. The V3 Pro is a game-changer!
For FPS gaming, this is one of the best you can get on the market today
did you buy one?
The Calibration tab in this software package always works well, but I hate the adverts - did know you could turn them off thanks !!
no problem!
@@KitGuruTech
The weight and responsiveness are spot on. Razer nailed it with the Viper V3 Pro
They aren’t made very well, they break quite easily, avoid !
So, just £160, bargain as always from Razer
I like Razer, always make some great gaming keyboards and mice
Great review mat as always. Button clicks sound nice and crisp 🤘🏻
I love Razer mice, but I hate paying the prices
Nice you spent a bit of time with it - thanks for the coverage, was wondering if this was good enough, but £160 is madness
its not cheap !
@@KitGuruTech I understand!
The Viper v3 Pro was the same price tho?
Awesome content Kitguru, thanks for the analysis of the mouse, but I dont think I can justify paying £160
Great gaming mice - really recommend Razer products, good software too, like Corsairs
The fact you didnt review any before was interesting, good to come in fresh. Do you not think £160 is just too much for any mouse?
I prefer Synapse to iCUE, always had more success with it and less CPU drain too, iCUE is a hog
Classy looking mouse, I havent bought a Razer mouse in years
The price is always ridiculous, its like Corsair Tax- over the top
OK I cant get over that price tag. Who do they think they are? Apple?
Good shape for my hand, but how much is it? Did I miss that?
Excellent review thanks mat, job well done

Good info thanks for sharing
It took more than a year for the Viper v3 pro to go from 160 to under 125, so I doubt it will make a big difference.
I have had so many Razer mice and almost all of them has failed inside 12 months, or just outside 12 months. I think im just too rough on them, yet ive an old logitech thats still going.
That’s bad to hear thanks for sharing
@@KitGuruTech Welcome!
Wish they would open source their software.
So many people whinging ! If it’s too expensive buy something cheaper 😂
Those polling rates seem excessive for an average use, battery gets killed too, so its pointless IMO
no mouse is worth £160 and this is coming from someone who bought an xbox elite controller
What do you think of the elite controller ?
How light is it? I like a very light mouse my hand gets sore, need more time in the gym
54g
Setting the software up is a bit of a pain I find, but its ok once you get used to it
I like their mice, just never liked the pricing. but this one seems good - thanks mat
No problem - It's a very, very good mouse - Mat
Love the shape, really comfortable looking for my hand shape
excellent thanks for the comment
@@KitGuruTech Welcome!
Great review Mat, I agree, it is an excellent mouse, bought one a few weeks ago
good to hear you are happy with it
@@KitGuruTech Welcome!
Keychron have a new mouse out Mat, to match your keyboard - a man of taste I see !
I might have to check it out!
@@KitGuruTech 💗💗
this 4000hz polling rate - never tried it, surely it makes some difference? anyone tried it ?
Razer and flawless used in the same sentence... wow... Wouldn't spend 10e on that.
4000hz when gaming, does it actually really make any difference at all? I doubt it but would love to hear
Some people say they feel a difference. Only way to know is to try yourself.
@@KitGuruTech Your Correct
I like the shape
FPS mouse, what does that even mean?
First person shooter 😅 mouse is good for this genre of games i guess
I hate Razer's Synapse software. It's extremely bloaty, always online and impossible to block with a firewall - which feels intrusive and creepy.
I tried blocking with both the standard Windows firewall as well as a third party firewall but there was still internet traffic on the Synapse processes.
Thanks for your thoughts. Seem some people in the comment feel the same as you.
Optical switches sound really good, very clicky
We like the switches
@@KitGuruTech 😁😁😁
Good review, cant understand some of what the bloke is saying, but the software support looks good
Sorry you can’t understand the accent !
What's the point of wireless though, it's literally 50cm from the PC to the desk
No cables looks cleaner and mouse movement feels much more fluid and smooth without cable drag - Mat
👍👍
charging it every other day? seriously?!
Super review, covered all the bases
Thanks!
@@KitGuruTech Welcome!
2:34 Can someone please tell me what game is that?
Call of Duty MW3 (2023) 👍
@@KitGuruTech Thank you!!!

Hope it works out well if you buy it 👍🏻
@@KitGuruTech Have you tried the Cobra? I think this was recommended as a replacement to the Mamba
I thought my Logitech super light pro x was a lot of money at £130 !
Expensive too !
What are those speakers you are using ? Edifier? is that a chrome finish? !
Edifier QR65s - They have infinity mirror style baffles
Attack shark r1 is the same same same even the size and i paid 12$ for it...damn, AliExpress for the win!
really good looking mouse, my shape, nice and light, - might be tempted. sometimes they go on sale. 160 might be asking a bit much, I hate paying over 100 for any mouse.
Pricing isnt so bad given what Sony what for the PS5 pro controller.
Pretty good looking mouse. Not sure why so many people are surprised it’s so expensive. Has no one been watching Razer prices for years ? 😀
Mat has got like the best job in the world. Review gaming stuff for you guys. Where can I apply?
I like the mouse but I agree with some of the comments, its a £100 mouse, and id buy it. will wait for an amazon black friday or christmas sale to see if I can pick it up at the proper price !!
atk X1 feels way better!!! better clicks and feel!!!
You got one ?
That dongle as an additional purchase is very cheap from Razer.
Razer make good mice, but im not sure I would pay this for all the wireless stuff I dont even like. Do they make a wired version of this mouse?
Shessh so many tightwads here ! 😝 get a good job guys. 160 for a mouse to use all the time isn’t too much money !!
How do you know its a gaming mouse? I cant see any rgb on there whatsoever.
nah. i bet it has the amazing double click classic by razer. all their mouses are the biggest double click champs. i pass.
Great review thanks
Glad you enjoyed it :)
If you run on Linux for example what is the software support for that?
4000hz poll rate and charging the battery every day basically ? 😂
Not if you use the separate gaming and non gaming polling rate options. I'm having to charge it once or twice a week.
@@KitGuruTech do you notice much difference between 1000, 2000 and 4000 hz when gaming ?
@@bobsmithson8592 from 1k to 2k or 4k yes - It feels smoother - the difference between 2k-8k is hardly noticeable for me
That’s really nice. Love that shape but my wife is left handed so useless as we share same computer
Agree with Mat too much branding is rubbish better to be a bit more discrete.
70gs acceleration! Who's hand can do that? Sounds a bit dangerous.
I still prefer a wired mouse for gaming over wireless even though the wire can get in the way.
That high polling rate battery life is amazing. Cant believe it uses up the battery that fast.
Would love to know why you have to pay loads of money to get a scroll wheel that doesnt have any play in it.
Love this mouse. Brother got it for his birthday. It’s really smooth on a good hard mat
Amazing for a flagship as its got a really restrained design.
idk why razer gave this mouse a symmetrical shape, but only the left side has buttons when the right side doesn't
in previous iterations of the viper, both sides had buttons
Yes good point.
Looks like they have really put a lot of effort into their software suite its very impressive.
Had the V1 but it was starting to not hold a charge after 3-4 years. Went to Microcenter to pick up my Asus PG32UCDM and saw that they were up to V3. Picked it up on a whim and so far it's a nice upgrade.
Yeah that’s the same mouse I’ve used for while
I prefer a more ergonomic shape that is shaped to my hand.
Wow that really glides around! Want that glass mouse pad too now.
Like the closeups of that mouse as it shows its quite a premium product.
I was into this mouse until i saw the price...... 160? really??? 160 for what? Price is insanity!
It’s expensive yes.
Those side buttons look really solid.b
Without thumb rest not sure id like this love my Logitech.
Would prefer glass feet instead of plastic.
Is it possible to connect the razer viper v3 pro to any console?
I've been a fan of the deathadders since they worked on the Microsoft Habu. I might get the wireless version next time.
Good mice
I remember the ball mice that Apple used to sell, square, cabled, and you moved a ball in the middle. how things have changed
Thankfully 😀
lovely mouse really well thought out. its a flagship mouse from a flagship brand. its not going to be cheap. people need to realise that.
So you don’t mind paying the price ?
