Razer unveils new Viper V3 HyperSpeed wireless esports gaming mouse

pcgamesn.com:

When it comes to PC gaming peripherals, Razer is one of the most iconic brands in the business, consistently producing products that find their way on our best gaming mouse, best gaming keyboard, and best gaming headset guides. Its latest contender for our attention is the newly-announced Razer Viper V3 HyperSpeed, which is a new wireless esports gaming mouse that ditches cables completely, opting instead for AA battery power.

The Viper line is known for its lightweight, fingertip grip and claw grip-focused shape, and the Viper V3 HyperSpeed is no different. However, while similar to previous versions at a glance, this new version is different in many ways.

For a start, this version is a right-handed design, rather than the ambidextrous design of the likes of the Viper 8KHz and Viper Ultimate. Razer had already iterated to a right-hand-only design with the Viper V2 Pro, but the 8K and Ultimate remain on sale so we might have hoped other new models would keep the ambidextrous option.

Elsewhere, the new mouse includes several more subtle design tweaks. The sides of the main buttons now have fixed edges for resting your fingers on, rather than the buttons stretching all the way to the edges of the mouse. The main two buttons also have deeper finger grooves, the main hump of the mouse is a little taller and further back, and the gap between the side buttons has increased. The older Viper design was always quite small and arguably a little cramped so these changes will probably appeal to a wider array of gamers.

Comfort isn’t the only thing going for the Razer Viper V3 HyperSpeed, as there’s also the inclusion of an updated Focus Pro 30K optical sensor. Surprisingly, this new sensor includes improved surface compatibility
