G pro wireless: *chuckles* I’m in danger.
Oh yeah
True...
I think it was a missed opportunity by Razer to not make it 20-30 dollars cheaper than the g pro wireless. I think a lot more people would shoot for it if it was. That being said though i love my GPW with hyperglides and I probably wouldnt switch.
ok huntre they’re the same price. Not sure about shipping tho.
Did they ever fix the double click issue with the GPW, seems like lots of recent buyers still have it
Frank hit em with the "yada, yada, yada, rgb" and I choked on my soda. 😁 Great video man!
Holy crap love your vids man!
BadSeed Tech love ur vids keep up the good work
CONGRATULATIONS ON 100K SUBS!!!
I like your beard reminds me of kratos from god of war😀
OMG it badseed tech you need more subs your one of the best tech youtubers
That Battlefield V gameplay was impressive!
He doesn’t miss
The Viper ultimate makes you a better gamer
Yes

Too bad the game is just okay. Really need that bf6. I’ll play that for years like I did 4 and 3
I'll be damned Razer, GG.
this year razer has made some really good moves
@@collinfolk7749 it's true. I'm glad, they definitely needed it. Now their stuff is more worth the money.

That's his mouse mat and I want to know where to buy it.
Phil Warren massdrop dropped it a while ago
r. hood Could you send a link?
Phil Warren novel keys it’s a partnership
Best Mouse I have ever used. Great video!
Give me your KZhead channel that is death pls
Love your vids
@@offdew facts amazing mouse bro
Same
This mouse is awesome, feel a little faster than the gpw and a little more precise. Definitely worth it. The only problems I've had is that the grips suck it much better to replace them with lizard skin and the charging cable hole sucks to because it's way too small for regular cables.
Me: Sees video and thinks about buying it. My wallet: Yeah I don't think so.
BruisingElk322 it’s worth every cent, it’s worth the buy and it works amazingly fine
Christmas Honica (sorry I spelled it wrong) or bday. You could get it for any of the days
Idk how old you are but if you are a kid you can make yourself look homeless and ask for money. Jk this is a scummy thing to do
go on razer and apply for razer silver
@Gabriel Alexander yeah but you can find that on sale usually since it's a year old, while the viper is pretty new still
Frank i love how enthusiastic you are compaired to anybody else i watch, never change. 👍
This mouse looks like Batman if he was a gaming mouse.
it do be lookin clean tho
More like ksi
still using the mouse 2 years later. Worth the $150.. slight wear on the rubber sides due to 10+ hours of daily usage for both work and gaming, dropped more than 7 times to the porcelain floor, still crisp clicks, charging functions are superb.
How is the battery after 2 year? does it still last for a while?
@@CoasterCoat no difference from Day 1. My usage is very rough, I use it for my daily work 8 hours, and then use it for gaming everyday which is around 4-5 hours more on top of that, not to mention weekends. I only need to charge after around 2 days, and that's only when I was too lazy to put it on dock during lunchtime at work.
There's a sale right now for the mouse + dock for 60$.. should i go for it? My 4 year old g502 has been suffering lately
@@imaestro5065 sure
I actually have this mouse & i must say i absolutely LOVE it. From the shape/feel, the grips on the sides, battery life, & how smooth the glide feels. I still switch between my G Pro Wireless & SteelSeries Sensei Ten every now & then but the Viper is prolly my favorite right now. P.S Also its hella light weight for a wireless mouse.
What about the side buttons on the viper?
@@felipek01 Very hard to press, would not recommend it if you will be using it a lot. The mouse it self is very good, the shape fits my hand perfectly, it's lightweight and feels very premium.
Tempest7 thanks for the feedback. The side buttons are really crucial for me. But choosing a mouse as a lefthanded is no easy task. Have you ever tried the Zowie FK1?
What is the charging dock fail? Will they sell it seperately after 5 years? what if inbuilt battery fail after 5 years? I think these should be cons
Thanks for the awesome review! This helped me decide on finally settling with the viper ultimate mouse. Gonna get it!
Frank was hitting some clean sniped on BF 😂😂
The grips on the side are an absolute game changer for me .
I never bought anything so fast. I've always wanted a wireless mouse, good thing I waited. Can't wait to get mine.
uve always wanted. naman didnt even to what wireless mouse are and he already got it
I bought the wired Viper, a couple weeks ago, but am returning it for the wireless version after your great review. Thanks, RFP!!
Thanks for the review! Regarding the video itself: awesome lighting and sharp picture, enjoyed watching it :)
Whew, it's been a HOT MINUTE since I've looked to Razer for a main peripheral, soooooooo excited for this! As soon as I tried the viper in August, I returned it. Not because I didn't like it, but because I loved it and knew the instant my hand touched it that they were going to make a wireless version. No idea it would be this soon though!
hypershift is a pretty awesome idea, pretty much doubles the number of inputs you can have on the mouse. I like several buttons on my mouse but I also want the ultralight experience.
What games do you use it for? I never used hypershift
@@CuteTransGirlxD For a lot of FPS's that have a lot of keybinds. For example Battlefield, the side buttons I use for crouch and prone. I have my middle click for hyper shift, so the side buttons are bound to something like switching to a gadget directly and throwing out a med pack/ammo pack. Also this functionality has really upped my game in Apex, I have a lot of the hypershift buttons bound to activating bats and med kits, no need to use select from the inventory wheel.
@@baitboy3191 oh wow that does make a lot of sense. thanks
That Battlefield sniping gameplay was really satisfying to watch
He just said it's his go to and his all time favorite, that's huge lol like damn
me: damn razer really stepping up their game! I would love to buy the- wallet: no
Smh
@@finnzzz320 source?
@@finnzzz320 I can't exactly trust that myself. I have the mouse itself, and I can't tell a difference between wired and wireless modes. It's wireless response time is incredibly fast in my experience, and there seems to be close to no delay at all.
@@finnzzz320 try getting a replacement. Yours may be a defect of some sort
Toast Cheeks I’ll do that rn I’m using my old mouse but I’ll return the viper ultimate and get a new one
If anyone's looking to buy this mouse now - I will give a quick update after about a year of having it. It's cosmetic condition has held up almost perfectly, a few minor scratches on the front side, but I believe that was my fault not the mouse wear and tear. Sensor, perfectly held up - sometimes a hair or some dust gets in there, but easily fixable and back to brand new again. Buttons/Wheel - All still responding perfectly, scroll wheel hasn't become sticky whatsoever, overall as responsive as the day I bought it. No double clicking as of yet, which I know was an issue for some users. Mouse feet - Again nothing to complain about, they have held up really well, not had to replace yet so I'm happy, what more can I ask for. Still smooth too. My complaints about the mouse: If you are using RGB on the mouse itself, it's battery life is cut by over 50%, so I have found myself just completely turning it off at this point. Having said that, the battery life without the RGB is easily 50+ hours of usage, even to this day a year on. Charging dock: The pins on the dock gather dust incredibly easily. As well as the pin holes on the bottom of the mouse. This stops the mouse charging and can be a pain to clean properly. This I think is a design flaw as I can not go more than 2-3 days without having to re-clean the pins on both the charging dock and mouse. It's not a major issue as it doesn't effect performance, just a quality of life thing. Lastly, the USB cable port: I know this is a wireless mouse, and you shouldn't need it, however I have found it frustrating when I have forgotten to charge the mouse overnight and I need to charge it while I use it. This is pretty much impossible, as I'm yet to find a Micro USB cable that will actually fit the gap. There is literally no space to fit your standard USB cable on the mouse, this is the only major design flaw I can point out. Other than those things, which again don't really effect performance and are just quality of life issues, the mouse is fantastic. It's lightweight, very responsive, in fact I would say more responsive than my previous Zowie FK1, and a wireless mouse was the best upgrade I ever made gaming wise.
what about the side buttons that most people complain about non sticking enough out and beeing hard to press?
@@elia9427 Had the mouse for about 7 or so months, no issues with the side buttons and I tend to gorilla grip the mouse sometimes while gaming. Pleasantly surprised since my way older razer mice had the same issues (but I have the RVU with the more recent V2 buttons and switches, the v1s are garbage but that was early production models.)
I think a bunch of the changing docks are defective. I bought an aftermarket charging dock on Amazon and that one works flawlessly.
@josephhollis6583 Is there a squeaking noise after using it for a long time? Or is it luck?
@@LoLly.P No squeaking noise whatsoever, still going strong to this day. I bought a second one because I got some grease marks on my first one. Same with the second mouse - perfectly good condition still. Great mouse, little light though, so if you prefer a heavier mouse, maybe not for you.
I love the way that instead of when the rgb is off it doesnt show the logo, it completely disappears. I like that stealth
Yes it's a really good mouse.
Wireless Viper Ultimate: *exists* My wallet: ah sh*t here we go again

It’s on sale rn

would be nice to have you review the actual clicking of the buttons ... side and top along with the scroll wheel

@@ryleeterhark1482 DID I LOL
Great vid man you helped me alot:)
camera quality goin crazy👌👌🌟🌟
I really would like to know if this mouse when charging has a threshold so the battery lasts longer and doesn't get overcharged.
I think it'll turn off after the battery is fully charged...
Of course it will, it’s literally $150.
It 99% probably does. If a phone as old as the iPhone 5 has that feature I’m sure this muse has it
Yeah I have it and it turns off when fully charged
love the sniper montage of BFV
9:08 i'm glad you mentioned it, its absence would have been a dealbreaker for me. now i know i can forget to charge it several days in a row and that i will be able to use it in an emergency; also if i want to bring it with me for use with my laptop when its low battery or something like that
I've been using mine for 11 months now. I paired it with the firefly v2 hard surface mouse pad and I can honestly say I would never use another mouse/ mouse pad
I literally got my viper a month ago. You got me, razer
how is it after a year?
This mouse with the Firefly Wireless Charging Mousepad would be epic
To bad that as far as I know its not compatible
TobiramaR6 did you just use the word epic
It would be so light too, no battery needed cause of the hyperflux pad
@@dukky304 did you just use the word use
Zzzzaydieeee737 did you just use the word word?
have just seen you newer video reviewing the Razer Basilisk , which one would you say is better ? I need to buy a new mouse! thanks for you great videos !
It seems great and I'll definitely be picking it up but does the right side mouse buttons affect the comfort of the mouse?
Can somebody please tell me the name of the song at the start of this video, I have been looking for it for soooooo long
Razer is stepping up their game. It’s good to see
In the market for a new wireless mouse to replace my Lancehead. Should I hold off since the Viper is pretty old now?
Ok just asking. If you take out the switches in the viper can you put then in a different razer mouse? Since I like the feel of the Basilisk.
does rechargeable mouse battery life go down over time just like a phone's battery holds less charge after you've had it for some time?
Yes, it does. sorry I am 10 months late.
Honestly I still like how much RGB the mamba elite has (Which is the mouse I currently use).
I love the way the mamba elite looks and lighting also its the best looking of the lineup for sure. Sadly best looking doesnt win awards and this viper ultimate is the best performing.
I had the normal viper for a couple months and finally decided to upgrade to the wireless version, it’s coming tomorrow and I can’t wait
Nice review Frank. Ordered today 🙂
I love that you can turn the LED off and make it look clean without the logo.
In the next month: Wireless Optical keyboard with PBT Doubleshot keycaps...
If only
they did all that except wireless lol but to be fair wireless keyboards are kinda unnecessary because your not going to move it around unlike the mouse .
I made my purchase after seeing the title of this video. I've been using a viper wired; everything's great except that the wire drives me crazy. I'm a cable management person and I really have no way to hide this wire. Thank god they made it wireless!
Now what's gonna happen to your wired viper
thank you so much this really helped 😀
Oooh. I'm sorry, G502, it was fun while it lasted.
That's what I have too. Seriously considering this
That is what I am switching from. My new viper is currently charging. The G502 served me well for a few good years and many rounds of BF1.
I'm switching to from G502 as well. It was a great mouse, but the damn thing started to fail on me after only a year of use. The left click stutters and prevents me from doing things like highlight words or shooting. I'll hold the left click in game and I may shoot like one bullet and it doesn't do anything, or It'll shoot twice, pause, shoot once, pause, shoot 4 times, etc. or it will work fine. Its so consistently inconsistent that I have no choice but to upgrade. Hopefully the Viper Ultimate treats me well.
Same.. Just placed g502 to Viper after it started doubleclicking. I think I'll stay away from Logitech products for a while.
Finally! I’ve been using the wired version for 1 month now and loved everything about this mouse except the cable. Gladly I’m still in the return period for it. This is exactly what I’m looking for.
i got it too but my returns is passed due dammit ill just sell my on offerup
cossboss RIP dude, I haven’t tried it yet. Can you palm grip it?
@@avalonqt6285 Of course but I've relatively small hands. I had the G703 and G305 before and I found the Viper more comfortable.
Random, how well do the switches hold out to wear and tear? my g502 lightspeed is showing doubleclick issues only 6 months in. very pis sed about that.
WB Kids 1 is a youtube channel that has just taken your whole video and posted it on their channel, just thought i would let you know about that. Also amazing video
still loving my g304 tho
Would like to know if the rubber side grips stay on well after a few months of use. My deathadders side grips started coming off on the edges and i was forced to super glue it down.
good vid man keep the good work up
Also would love to know if this wireless viper has a feature where the mouse turns off automatically during no use for a certain amount of time.
See 6:55
You can control that in Synapse
So I can choose between having USB plugged into PC or just having it plugged into charger?
Both
I mean yeah it doesn't charge itself through magic...at some point it has to plug into something...even with a wireless charging mousepad...it plugs in too.
@@roundearthshill248 I see we found mister Einstein here
Agree with the point about synapse, easy enough to go without the lighting though. I do wish Razer would fix that though. I’m thinking this may dethrone my G703.
Hey Randomfrankp , I hope you respond to this. Recently I bought a Razer Viper Ultimate, but the right click feels a bit mushy(like there is some pre-travel time), so I got it exchanged and still does it. Does yours does the same or did I get unlucky twice? Is it just a thing of adapting to the new switches?
Imagine using that with new razers huntsman tournament edition
got it and got it boths game changer
S P E E D
uhq that’s what I’m saving up on, but is the TE better than the classic and elite?
@@ethanrichard6307 te does not have num bad and has different switches which are better imo and new features and better layout so i would recomend te
exactly my setup rn lol
Had the Superlight for the last 9months plus id say, loved the feel and fit in my hand as I have a Large hand and use a logitech m570 roller ball (Used roller balls for the last 20+ years) at work and previously used a glorious Model D for the high hump and similar angle to fit deep in the palm of my hand. Model D was a decent mouse, but hated it being wired and the drag of the cable so maybe might like the Model D wireless but got a stellar deal on a used Superlight so tried that. Superlight was leaps and bounds better then a WIRED Model D, but idk why; the superlight seemed to lag or miss my movements sometimes due to liftoff since you cant change it and software was up to date and I use a thicker/slower mousepad. Response to all of this, I recently got a deal for $50 from Amazon on a Razer Viper Ultimate; the price was ridiculous for me not to throw my money at it and I received it yesterday (1 day shipping nowadays is amazing but still screw you Bezos). I took it out of box and plugged in and raided that night on World of Warcraft like the competitive parsing sweatball nerd that I am. I was so surprised how quickly I conformed to the mouse, a more shallow shape then the Superlight that I still prefer for now, but the feeling of mice clicks and responsiveness was what I felt like I was missing. In WoW you turn with your mice unless you're a bad kid and rarely click things but when I did, I knew exactly where the mouse was and rotating with the mice was perfect. So in conclusion, try that Viper Ultimate especially with a discount. If I knew how much I liked it, I would've bought it instead of the Superlight 9 months ago; also Razer really is just a super loud brand which always puts me off but they do put out solid products that I know will last me 3+ years which is forever with how much shit I put them through
that keyboard caught my eye. what is that? like the coil to the cord. can the buttons on the right side be disabled?
Took me a few days to get use to it changing from razer basilask essiential, lol but now im used to it, it freaking great
Nearly every one of his mouse videos go along the same title of : bEst mOuse EVEr????
Well, heading to amazon
you earn a like just for that morrowind guide. love that book and game
I was wondering, i play Genshin impact and Valorant mainly, and was wondering weather to get the viper ultimate or basilisk ultimate? Just a question. Love the review man keep it up.
2:15. What's the desk mat called?
👀 you'll find out soon
Cool tech products Ocktober?!?
that already came out
Oh shoot next month?? Lol
@@randomfrankp ive been looking for a while
2:17 what is that mousepad frank?
And 3:13 realy what is that mousepad?
How about the side click on the scroll wheel? I use those a lot while browsing. I've had my last few mice not work or wouldn't work well at all. Then why doesn't razer do on board storage for macro and all the these. I hate that the most with razer.
is this a safe option cause am skeptical about razer product or should i buy a G PRO wireless
yeah game clips are really going to help me understand how mouse feels. thankyou (:
I love how it seems like Razer is tryna hook us up with hyperglide-level mouse feet right out of the box. props
For me, the slick mouse feet on my mamba wireless get scratched up really easily bc I dont use a mousepad
PewDie Pie is the mamba wireless good?
@@zzz-ze3xt yea
PewDie Pie thinkin to buy mamba elite
I bought the cyberpunk version. Its sitting on my collection shelf. The only thing I dont like is how low it is. Im used to the Steelseries Sensei 310 and going from that, to the Viper, its a big change. Different DPI measures (Steelseries uses CPI), the weight, and the form factor. Then there is the Razer software. But homie already touched on that one for me. All in all, if my 310 breaks down, I have the perfect backup ;)
Any idea how well this mouse would work with 1-3-1 fingertip grip? Not much grips choice when it comes to wireless mice. AND THIS ONE HAS A DOCKING STATION :O
me: i don't need it, i don't need it, i neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed it my wallet: your right you don't need it
why are ur eyes so sparkly?! I can't look away!
Did you also try the Basilisk Ultimate ? My Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum that i have since nearly 4 years have big batterie and input issue. It was the "best" of its time in 2016 i may try Razer for a change.
Nice snipes my guy!
I’ve got it too, “iTs RazEr sO iTS oVEr pRiCeD” nobody really looks at how good some of these products are. After being a Corsair lunatic for a while I switched to a full razer setup, and I am just in love with it. Everything feels perfect for me, and the rgb doesn’t look so damn yellow. (Unlike previously mentioned)
LMAO Razer products are known for breaking shit fast. Enjoy while you still can. xD
Honestly, with how much Logitech have been refreshing their pro lineup recently, I'd give it a month or two before we see a g pro x wireless gaming mouse that blows this out of the water.
My only complaint with the g pro wireless is its slippery surface...can't hold it well while playing dota
@@ChochoLevi Feel you on that one. I had to put grip tape on mine. Like actually.
Been 5 months and nothing... Logitech is a joke
8 Months...
should i wait a few weeks for the new logitech superlight x or get now the razer viper ultimate?
Do I have to use the USB receiver for this mouse to work? My macbook doesn't have a usb-A port and I am worried that using it without the receiver will sacrifice performance.
So now , who is better ? G Pro X Superlight Or this mouse
Watch Frank's review for the superlight and you decide which one is better, I concluded that the viper is better, also try getting it for like $100 on sale, also السلام عليكم ما توقعت اشوف عرب هنا

Where were you when RandomFrankP declared his new found love for Razer?
I had a pretty bad experience about a year and a half into my Mamba Tournament Edition, to the point that the sensor stopped working entirely. Didn't realize Razer products have a 2 year warranty until it was too late, but still. Is that something that is fairly common among razer products or did I happen to win the one-off lottery?
"just thought I'd point that out" - thanks, I've had this mouse for months and I didn't know what lol
This shows Razer is listening and watching to the community
You think so. I love razer but all of this is only marketing. Once they will get the lead, they will 'maybe' destroy us lol
me: oh nice review Frank: 150$ me: WHAT!!! jwdada
Is Viper Ultimate better then the Basilisk Ultimate? I just got into gaming, which mouse should I get?
Just bought this mouse. It’s very light weight. A little on the wider side then I prefer. I can’t seem to get the settings exactly where I am comfortable at yet. It definitely takes a bit to get use to.
If they don’t make a mercury white version i’m gonna break something Also DeathAdder Ultimate
Then break something
Do it >:D
Do it.
The best use for the charger other than charging Is using it as a mouse bungee
how? i have it and u cant really use it as a bungee unless you tape the cord
13 other idiots liked your message without even checking if this works. Which is doesn’t. Lmao
Broccoli Boy These 13 “idiots” realize it’s a joke cuz it’s a mouse meant to be used wirelessly
Hi, can you pls give the link for your keyboard, cause it looks cool, and I kinda want that, Thxxs
