    It is worth mentioning that the charging dock on the viper ultimate can also function as the dongle. If you put the receiver in the dock while it is plugged in, it basically does the exact same thing as the dongle, except for 4k polling rate.

    Gets down to personal preference of course. I got the Viper Ultimate in white because it sits nice on the desk with the Logitech G915 TKL keyboard in white. Your review of both helped in that decision, thank you. I have no issues with the ultimate not charging on it's dock and as far the right side buttons go you can re-map them per app or game or deactivate them. Although I enjoy some fps gaming I'm not a big gamer so "upgrading" to the V2 is something I won't be doing. Cheers.

    I get the Viper Ultimate b/c of the charging dock. This is because I'm such a sloth that I never ever want to touch my cables if I can help it. The motion of landing it on a dock is so much better than reach for your cable and finding the hole to plug it.
    So if there's no charging dock, or better way to charge the thing without dealing with the cable, I think there're better mouse alternative out there depending on one preferences.

    Been using my new Viper Ultimate for 2 weeks. Chose it over the v2 pro because of the features and I don't mid the extra weight. I'm using a Model O Wireless before and the weight does not affect me that much. Also, you mentioned that the charging dock is fiddly but for me it isn't. It's actually really easy to place the mouse in the dock. Maybe because I've been using it everyday and got the touch of putting it in the dock. But, great review as always.

    The razer ultimate Dock is ZERO faff to get the mouse to Dock. I picked one up today, sat it on my desk and docked the mouse several times instinctively and with a robust magnetic clunk. I also have a death adder v2 pro that I've had for a year or so and had never used the Dock before today with it also and it also clunks on seamlessly and very positively. I can't work out why he was having an issue.

    I am using the Viper Ultime since 2021 and i have zero problems with the switches. I play mainly shooters and mmos, so i would notice it.
    The rubber pads are still almost perfect. I am using it on a hard plastic mousepad.
    I don't see any reason why the V2 would be better. I like the RGB in combination with my modiefied Razer Tournament Edition keyboard. I do love the charging dock.
    I don't need 30k DPI, or a new sensor, or other switches.
    The mouse is really good. And 20g won't make any difference (imo).

    I don't know if you'll see this considering this video is 5 months old, but question: Do you think the difference in switches is THAT big of a deal between these 2 mice? I'm leaning heavy towards the Ultimate, but I'm kinda hung up on the V2 Pro having better switches. Is it just about the longevity (70 mil vs 90 mil clicks)?

    • @napstericious
      @napstericious 2 года назад +1

      if you dont mind losing your warranty, you can easily replace those microswitches for like 5-10 bucks. Just choose switches that you preffer and if you're familiar with soldering it's like a 5-10 minute job. Go for Huano, Kailh or TTC. Just watch some videos to be able to choose which ones you like.

      I think that you can get used to the weight pretty easily, I have the viper ultimate and a g pro superlight and I really don't mind the weight difference.

However, if you really like the lower weight of the v2 and can't get used to the ultimate, I would keep that one and return the ultimate.
