Combined, these changes easily make the Viper V4 Pro the best mouse that Razer has ever made - and it's produced some absolute crackers in its day. The battery life change is by far the most critical, as it allows the mouse to be used in its top 8000Hz polling rate mode for a substantially longer period than most rivals - around 45 hours, versus just 17 hours for its predecessor.

It is our most precise, most responsive, fastest mouse that we've ever made and we had to do a lot of redesigning on the internals to shed some weight and make it absolutely perfect, including the build quality. >> This is what? Slick looking mouse. It's also super lightweight. >> 49 g. >> You were not kidding about shaving off some of that weight.

One thing that was a welcome surprise was teh change of dongle. Included in the Viper V4 Pro is a dome-like dongle. Using the Razer Hyperspeed Wireless Gen-2 syste, it aims to be over 60% more efficient. Flashing latency by 55% of the previous generation of dongles. This might even prevent those annoying little drops in connection that wireless dongles quite often suffer from.

And according to them, the V4 Pro features their biggest technological updates in 10 years as it features new switches, a new sensor, an optical scroll wheel, and more. All packed into the loved death adder ergonomic shape that still managed to cut some weight as well. So, let's check it out closer before we get into the technical stuff. And yes, as you can see, the shape remains unchanged.

The Razer Viper V4 Pro doesn’t look all that different from the Viper V3 Pro . Razer kept the Viper V4 simple and effective just like its predecessor, except with more oomph. The Viper is still a somewhat niche product. It’s an excellent gaming mouse , but I wouldn’t go running to it unless you are a serious competitor.

So winner for this category is the V4 Pro for its pure speed and just being the lighter one. Now for the sensor and tracking Superlight 2 has got the Hero 2 and it is proven to be precise and consistent. And I've been using this mouse for around 1 and 1/2 years now and I'm pretty sure that this is true.

You basically feel nothing, but what you do feel is very centred during use, not a big heavy sensor in the middle, but more spread out across the hand, making it quite effortless to move and reducing fatigue, as I was testing it on my laptop for work and also gaming at home, so I have a fair few hours of straight use.

All of your weight junkies out there better go running and buy it right now. But now, there are some differences. But honestly, looking at them just like this, you're not going to be able to tell one from the other. I honestly couldn't tell you which one's which right here. How you're going to be able to tell the difference is number one being with the dongle.

The Razer Viper V4 Pro is, objectively, an outstanding competitive gaming mouse. Even in its slightly heavier white trim, it’s preposterously light without feeling flimsy, brutally fast without sacrificing control, and packed with the kind of sensor and wireless tech that makes latency graphs look flat.

Um, with the Viper V4 Pro, since it is 10 g lighter at 50 g, and there's no issues with the weight balancing, like it doesn't trend front-heavy or back-heavy. Um, the Viper V4 Pro, it definitely feels like a quicker mouse in motion, and you can combine that with the fact that the sensor, like, the motion latency is technically lower.

So, I'm very familiar with this mouse and the Viper shape, and I can confidently say that it's my end-game mouse. I've been using the V4 Pro for hours on end over the last few months, and I've noticed a genuine difference in my actual in-game performance, especially in Valorant. Since I'm playing at a high level every single day, consistency is everything to me.

The best part is despite being so light, Razer still managed to make it very strong and rigid feeling. It doesn't feel like it has any flex at the sides and it doesn't make any creaking sounds. Very impressive for such a lightweight design. It's got an all matte finish and it seems to do a good job resisting sweat and fingerprints and it feels secure to hold during long gaming sessions.

Final thoughts: The Viper V4 Pro is one of the best mice I have ever tried. The only negative in my opinion is the scroll feeling. It reminds me of the regular GPX 2 side buttons: they work, they won't lose you any matches, but they don't feel great.

Overall, I consider the side button update a noticeable improvement. They feel more tactile and responsive with a nice clicky sound. Other than how the side buttons feel, the V4 also brings a new surface texture. And this one may divide some users. The texture on the V4 is silky smooth, which is totally different than the V3, which to me it feels like an eggshell.

This mouse kind of like opened my eyes to how good mice have gotten within the last 2 years. And starting with the build quality, it's no flex whatsoever. I could put as much force as I wanted onto that mouse, it wouldn't squeeze. to go find my force gauge meter, but I couldn't find it. But, with just general hand grip strength, I'm rating it at around 27 to 30 lb of force.

So it's a very very nice mouse to have in your hand. The coating is also yet again fantastic and pretty much the best in business. It's their rubberized matte coating they now use. If you remember the first Deathadder V3s, uh they did not have this type of coating and it was instead the chalky rough texture that for me did not work at all. So it's very nice to see how far we've gone from that.

However, it could end up feeling less stable as the mouse isn't anchored to your hands as much. Between them, their shapes are designed for specific reasons so there's no winner here. In terms of weights, the X2 Superlight is approximately 61 grams and the Viper V4 Pro is around 50 grams.
