Does your gaming mouse monitor its personal place 8,000 occasions per second? Should you’re the type of one who cares, I believe you may additionally need that mouse to trace that quick out of the field — as a substitute of getting to purchase an additional dongle for that function.
That’s the obvious distinction Razer is asserting immediately with its flagship Viper V3 Professional mouse for esports execs and people who aspire to be one. For $160, the brand new Viper V3 Professional contains the $30 Razer HyperPolling Wi-fi Dongle, the place the $150 Viper V2 Professional didn’t.
It additionally now has a second-gen 35,000 DPI “Focus Professional” optical sensor, which may be adjusted in increments of 1 DPI, bigger mouse ft, a “extra tactile” scroll wheel with a “extra dependable” scroll click on, and a complete lot of small ergonomic changes you may see right here:

And Razer’s introducing a “Sensitivity Matcher” in its app that permits you to press a button and transfer your outdated mouse and your new mouse on the identical time, after which it’ll routinely copy the DPI setting you’re accustomed to over to the brand new rodent. It nonetheless options the identical third-gen optical switches because the prior mannequin, which declare to last as long as 90 million clicks.
Final however not least, Razer’s altering the outer really feel of the mouse in a manner that raised some alarm bells for me at first — it’s migrating to a smooth-touch end as a substitute of the eggshell texture of its earlier mouse. However after I requested whether or not we’re returning to the pleasant at first however ultimately cheesy mess of yesteryear’s soft-touch rubber-covered mice, third-party spokesperson Alyssa Benson assured me that there’s no rubber concerned right here.
The Viper V3 Professional is offered immediately in each black and white; the white mannequin weighs an additional gram.
