Razer Viper V3 HyperSpeed Wireless
Score: 86/100Rankings
The Razer Viper V3 HyperSpeed is a lightweight wireless esports mouse featuring a 30K DPI optical sensor and up to 280-hour battery life. It trades some ultra-lightness and RGB lighting for a heavier build and older mechanical switches. Ideal for competitive FPS and MOBA players who value sensor performance and long battery life.
The SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless is a 68 g ultra-light mouse with a TrueMove Air sensor, 200 hour battery life and IP54 protection. Its holey shell design and lack of ambidextrous ergonomics are notable trade-offs. Ideal for right-handed competitive FPS gamers who value speed and endurance.
