Great and honest review man, I still got the rival 3 but that viper mini looks awesome too
thank you tysm went with the viper mini cause ive been looking for a cheap light wieght mouse much appreciated
Great video, I actually thought you had over 100k subs. Man, you deserve a lot more plus the fact that you reply to all comments is greatly appreciated. Keep it up man! Great work
Thanks it means alot! I'll keep the videos coming
ty for the review mate, definitely helped me since im getting one of these! :)
Both are really similar. both centered hump. I like both, but I like to use lizard grips on the viper mini to make it a bit wider for palm grip.
Amazing you're still reading comments even if this video was 9 months ago Insane! Also, can you do a review on the Logitech g203 prodigy white please? I can't figure if I should get another mouse or if I should get that one please Tekify!
great review video bro, keep it up, It was very helpful, I couldn't decide which mouse I wanted to buy and you helped me out so much! In the end, i bought the viper mini with SteelSeries qck heavy large mousepad.
Thanks, I really appreciate it. I hope you like them. The viper mini is a great mouse
have you done a comparison between Steelseries rival 3 vs Steelseries Prime? Whats the major difference. Im interested about the cable and the clicks
Watching this after buying a rival 3. I was sold as I've been using a Steel series Kinzu V2 for 5-6 years and it a similar weight and shape to rival 3. (And it only cost me 20 quid)
Which one will be better in spamming the LMB?
This was a perfect example of the size, thank bro!
Wow, what a cool hoodie is that going to be available to buy at some point?
Yeah of course, tekify.co.uk/merch
Thanks for the review! I will buy the viper mini because of all the points you mentioned in the video. And the intro was short, not like other youtubers that make their intros 3 mins long.
Thanks, I try to keep them short so I'm glad you liked it
I will buy SteelSeries prime mini wired over razer viper mini, because of sensor truemove Pro.
Very good way to compare. Thank you from France
Thanks, that's awesome!
So good this vid, New sub
hey my hand size is 18cm / 10cm what mouse would be good for me? claw grip btw
best reviewer and good to see you can see the section
Thanks, I really appreciate it
There are two major differences that you did not mention: 1. Rival 3 is A-shaped, more narrow in the front and wider in the back. Viper Mini is V-shaped. This makes Rival better for claw grip and Viper for fingertip grip. 2. The buttons do not feel the same, Viper uses proprietary optical switches that are great for MOBA games and not so good for FPS games.
It's funny that razer made the viper mini for fps games, but yeah everyone has their own opinion, I think that the viper mini does a really good job while you play fps games!
Exactly. I don’t think he did this comparison nicely. Rival 3 is a perfect mouse for palm/claw (medium hands) and claw for larger hands. Viper mini is mainly for finger tip unless you’re a 12 year old. Sensors are both the same.
I'd say hes a pretty good youtuber he makes sections in his videos for anyone who wants to get straight to the point
Viper Mini is 1-2$ cheaper here, I dont really care about performance because I've been playing games with 5$ mouses.. I picked up Rival 3 because of it's design being clean and the 3 zone RGB
I had to play with the mouce of the school and i finally bought viper mini
great review !
great vid bro ty
My hand size is 19.5 cm / 9.5 cm and a relaxed claw fingertip grip can i go with Viper mini ?
Yeah I would say so, it might feel a little bit small but that could be good
My viper mini scroll wheel and left click broke in less then a week so I will probably go with the rival 3, I just don’t know if the side buttons r good or not
That's unfortunate as it's a great mouse. Mine isn't showing any signs of breaking so maybe you just got unlucky. The Rival 3 is a great mouse, the side buttons are a bit annoying but you can defiantly live with them.
My viper mini scroll broke too in less than a month. I bought the new coolermaster.
What kinds of rage are you doing breaking a mouse in a week, (actually nvm I broke a new smartphone in a day because I threw my bag while it was in it)
@@impurityK no rage at all it was infected bruh
@@karim9607 infected??? Infected with what????
Igot the viper mini in my country for 40$ And the rival3 for 25$ wich one do you prefer?
I think the Viper Mini is quite a bit better but $25 is a very good deal for the Rival 3 and it is still a great mouse
I just ordered a viper mini for $40 CAD (Otherwise it's $55). I'm worried about the size however since I've always used Palm grip. My hands are 18 cm from tip of middle finger to the wrist so I was wondering if I could get away with Palm grip.
Otherwise, great video!
You might be okay, just give it a go. You will naturally adjust your grip slightly to suit the mouse and it just depends whether that is comfortable or not.
@@Tekify thanks man! It just came out yesterday and it works great!
Viper normal o rival 3? Why?
Nice mice and cool video but why did she leave me?
idk man check your pants or sum
my viper mini's scrollwheel broke so i ordered the rival today, lets hope this one just *survives*
Razer products are notorious for scroll wheel issues. Never buying them again
I was able to find the rival 3 at my local walmart when i bought it and i have found it in multiple other walmarts. It was nice because of my budget and i was able to get it for 25 bucks
lol u couldve bought it on gamestop for 4-12 dollars
i think you can change the hight of the sensor in the razer viper mini cant you ?
You can only make it higher, a firmware update has apparently improved the lift off distance since I made this video though. It wasn't terrible anyway so I'm sure it's fine now
@@Tekifyaight thanks
cool video but i still go with RIVAL 3 .
Fair enough, it's a great mouse. Out of curiosity why the Rival 3?
Tekify *NO STONKS THATS WHY*
@@Tekify Perfect weight for me. And in my country the mini is like worth 15-20 dollars more
Same, it's 30 dollars, good sensor, decent cable, size that fits my hands PERFECTLY, and it's light up at the bottom. It makes my skill go up 25%.
@@Tekify probably because of the price. If they were the same price then Razer would be the clear winner. Ironically the Rival 3 costs more in Europe, so I guess the Viper Mini is the clear winner in Europe.
Viper mini, rival 3 or hyperx pulsefire core?
depends how big your hand is
Pulsefire core sucks plz dont buy that lmao
@@SeaPees why ?
@@visionx695 grip slips off easily, sensor isn’t that bad but its not good either and is a pretty low budget mouse, the cables pretty heavy as well so theres my reasoning.
@@SeaPees oh shoot it sounds hella shit
Can’t really call it the clear victor mate. Just used both mouses, (current mouse death adder v2 is too big for me to finger tip). Rival 3 felt more like tailor made for claw grips. Reminds me of a Xm1r , maybe feels even better. Viper mini is much smaller and lighter, but it’s primarily to finger tip. Sensors are basically both the same, can’t give the edge to one there. Personally I much rather prefer the rival 3 as my hands are big, I can finger tip it perfectly.
Very good review
Thank you
Intresting... nice one
I have both of them
I got the viper for $25 that’s a steal
Wow that's a brilliant deal, I hope you like it
@@Tekify got it for 19 lol
Wow nice
Rival 3 all the way for me
@@pepe1903 yeah exactly
Don’t judge steel series rival 3 actually my dream gaming mouse for my budget for many reasons, love the mouse
i have both but viper mini is better
I broke my final mouse so I will buy a rival 3
OOF rip that overpriced and overrated mouse
went with steelseries after hearing about razer stealing data
Wow, I've not seen this and I am interested to look. You got anywhere I can read about it?
Hey the hp x900 is a great mouse at about 350 rupees or about 5 dollars. It weighs about 73 grams. Idk about the sensor quality. I am not a professional gamer so I couldn't tell about sensor quality and all that. But overall the mouse is great for FPS games. It just makes popping heads in counter strike way easier😍😍.
That mouse is so small and has no side buttons💀
Safe up a little bit and get a G203/102(17$ in some countries) or redragon M711 Cobra(also 17$)
What kind of Gaming mouse is dat, It doesnt even have a side button.Bad for gaming ofc Because of that weird ergonomic design,and btw why you use a Office mouse for gaming thats cringe
Viper mini can't drag click so for me theres an easy winner
For me viper is cheaper than rival 3
Ive had both mice and ill tell you the Rival 3 is 100% better quality
Stop saying some shi do you tried viper mini?
