  • 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.

    • 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.

  • 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.
