Posted November 30, 2017 by Josh Jackson in Peripherals

Overview

Hardware: Peripherals

WHAT WE LIKED:

Excellent Build Quality, Great Feel for Claw-Grip Users, Button Spacing and Placement is Well Designed, Top Tier Performance and Aesthetics

WHAT WE DISLIKED:

Mouse Pad is pretty pricey for the amount of Lighting Features

BOTTOM LINE:

Viper offers an extremely solid and compelling option in the gaming mouse realm, but the competitive market makes it hard to stand out. The mouse pad is a bit too pricey to compete with more robust or budget oriented options.

Specifications and Packaging

Looks like we get to go the Laser sensor route this time around. I have to say, it feels like it’s getting very hard to distinguish which sensor type works better, especially since DPI levels are so high. We have some other good features in the adjustable weighting system, the RGB lighting, and the Omron switches, but these are typical things you find in gaming mice these days.

FEATURES:
• Xtreme Precision Laser Sensor
• Up to 12,000 DPI
• Multi-zone customizable RGB LED management
• Advance MMO+FPS all-in-one ergonomics
• RGB customizable profiles
• 13 programmable macro keys
• Ceramic foot pads for maximum performance
• DPI LED indicator
• Adjustable weights of up to 34.2g
• Zero Delay

SPECIFICATIONS:
• 8000 DPI hardware/12000 DPI software
• Light source: Laser
• IPS: 150
• Polling rate: 1000Hz
• Switch: Omron (10M clicks)
• Sensor: Avago ADNS-9800
• Controller: Sonix

Packaging is pretty standard for both products. I prefer to see slide boxes with foam encasing, but the box art looks really nice regardless.

Inside packaging looks great too. The mouse has a bit more of a toy box feel than the pad does, but both products are fairly secure inside.

Needless to say I love computer hardware. With my reviews, I never forget what it's like trying to find parts on a tight budget and how excited I am about any new component I get my hands on. If there was a good effort in the design, then I'll find a reason why each component is great for someone!
