Just bought the mice and thinking of upgrading. Thanks for the video! You earned a subscriber here~
in fact, the fact that these elements were so well matched can be treated as a big plus for the razer brand anyway very good job and a great guide
Yeah, they did match extremely well haha. Thanks for watching! 😀
@@CalebThornton Good video my friend and Twitter account I'll follow you.
when you open the shell you could use one of the black keycap pullers it works really well
I saw literally two of your videos and idek why you don't have more subscribers. I think your videos are edited well and provide good, helpful content that a lot of ppl would want. Keep up the good work
Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind words😀
vouch
none of the professional player uses any types of mods or anything so people don't use it cause they see no advantage therefore less to no searching about mods
Nice video, when removing the shell, start with the prongs in the back, was pretty easy for me when starting with those rather than the sides.
Thanks for the tip! I could of used that when I was doing it lol. I need to get a nylon tool or something too for opening electronics like this.
Great Vid just ordered a Paracord / skates. First time modding a mouse this helps out a lot. Thanks
Awesome! Glad I could help 😀 It's honestly really fun and the result makes it even better 👍
How did it go?
@@Heisennburgg went pretty good actually for my 1st time paracord really does make a difference.do it dont be scared to like i once was lol
Great video. Your studio is really dark though. Maybe a brighter environment would increase visibility. Or at least a white or gray mouse pad hehe
If I had a studio it would be better but this is just my kitchen haha. I do have an overhead light and different mouse pads now though for B roll which makes it look much better.
nice video i'm from brazil, you have great content, congratulations.
Thank you very much
Great Video!
Thanks Blu!
@@CalebThornton Thanks for the video. I have a question. I recently bought Viper mini and it feels too light for me. My previous mouse had almost 90 grams, mini has 60 grams. I have little "puck" magnets 10x5mm, can place 2 or 3 of them inside mini to increase its weight? So the mouse could have at least ~80 grams?
@@oldi184 I guess you could . It might be worth trying to get use to the reduced weight though as it can create a more consistent and effortless movement. If you are going to do that though I would just make sure you secure them with something like glue so they aren't just rattling around inside it.
Heating up the skates with something like a hair dryer would be easier to take it out and might even help with the residue that remains there after just tearing it out
I now do that. It does make it much easier, I hated wiping off that adhesive.
well yes it will make adhesive come off easier but using heat is a no no because it could burn or will burn your bottom part of the mouse and make It a weird shape so the feet don't fit or look too weird.
@@karminipal4700 if u dont use a heat gun point blank its not gonna happen
@@tobiasgradl1538 For sure just keep it away but I don't ever recommend using heat any distance it is from the feet and that if you have the adhesive you can get like those scrapers/spungers to remove it then wipe the surface down.
@@karminipal4700 OP said hair dryer. I've never melted anything in the field using one. Heat gun, sure.
i like the background
Can you do a video on best deals for gaming mice and keyboards for Prime Day? Would be really interesting and nice to see the best deals
Yeah, I am trying to get something together for that right now actually 👍
@@CalebThornton thank you! Also, you’re so close to 1k! I’m excited 😁
@@Instinct0425 I know! I am excited too thanks for support.
hey dude nice video......idk y u r underrated..
Thank you! Appreciate it 😀
I’m here, nice vid Caleb! 👍
Thanks yeet! How is the PC doing?
@@CalebThornton it’s doing great and I’m enjoying games on it!
@@jetsnail2923 Good! I'm glad its working good for you. 😀
Great video
Thanks!
i added mine a weight from my old asus cerberus because i kinda get hang of cerberus and it makes it even more better
Nice!
underrated. i thought you had alot more subs
Thanks! Appreciate it 😀
@@CalebThornton I'm serious, your quality is amazing, the camera is good,the music is perfect, editing is perfect, channels with 2 million subscribers are worst
@@zepu400 Very Kind , thanks😀
I feel like I need to paracord this mouse, coming from mm710 which had amazing stock cables, this one is stiff and I can feel it when I'm using it even with a bungee
Can I use regular switches? Not the optical ones
wanted to ask if you can add a detachable wire on it
Underrated channel
Thanks :)
Also can you change the color without the software
I main viper mini since it came out. This is a perfect mouse for my hand but the sensor lift off distance is too high for me. Regardless what every youtuber said, it stills bothers me to the point where I switched to MM710. Is there any mouse feet thick enough that can lift the mouse higher than the stock one? Great video btw!
I'm not sure what the base thickness for the skates is on the Viper Mini, but Tiger Arc makes some pretty thick skates that might work good.
Try the tape mod to,where you cover part of the sensor, to reduce the lift off distance
There is a firmware update that lowers the lod on the Razer website. Worked for me with the Qck+.
so you used the edge of a "Razer Blade" to peel of the feet?
Is the paracord worth it it seems abit overkill
Not going to paracord it, I'll just use a bungee, the stock cable is good enough imo, also I kinda don't want to screw up something lol
it's bad on wide flicks, if you play below 40cm/360 (like 20cm/360) you won't notice it
Agreed here. Cables are good enough these days on any decent mices.
Do you know when will aigaia restok?
it says page not found for the paracord cables
Do you know when will Restok again?
Great video thumbs up I did this to my glorious mouse model o lol
Nice! I need to try out some glorious mice soon.
@@CalebThornton you like them
I just got the glourious model o - and it is amazing
@@micahmoose it's good mouse
@@micahmoose Awesome! I'm excited to try them out. Interested to see how it is in comparison to Viper Mini.
The most important aftermarket mod you can do is to replace the stock switches. I’m not spending full price for dumb Logitech mice that double click after 2 months. I got myself a cheap soldering iron and replace switches on second hand mice now - last longer than brand new for less than half the price
Aside from the side buttons DO NOT TIGHTEN YOUR SCREWS HARD. It will cause the case to creak in a very noticeable fashion.
Big fan of these mods on most mouse, as they can be a big improvement, BUT on the Viper mini in particular, I think it makes no sense to do so, as it has very good skates and cable, out of the box.
This is kinda old but i think i will do the grip tape mod because it slips out of my hand in cold weather also i will change skates because the stock ones of mine are scratched
Made all the mods and clearly makes a difference, I'm amazed at how faster tiger ice feet are and how stiff is Razer's speed flex cable compared to the paracord I bought from AliExpress
@@Komboss bro i ordered the tiger ice feet. Do you feel the sensor ring? The plastic sensor ring is annoying on stock feet. Didnt received my tiger feet tho. Does it help?
@@immohaimenul I used a sandpaper grit (400) to remove it. www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/jme8l3/viper_mini_sensor_ring_removal/?
@@Komboss so ice feet doesnt help with the sensor ring does it ? i do know that qc issue with the sensor ring to sandpaper it. but i didnt yet bcs im using stock feet rn. which is hella annoying.
those arent tiger arcs 2 my man there the 1s since the label is not silver
Ive always wondered if you can convert that paracord cable to a usb c cable..
I'm sure some people make it with a usb c end
it sure is possible
Base on paranormal abnormal critical illegal astronomical physical tragical musical potential kinetic authentic subtraction multiplication division trio algebra mix in solar punnel under the earthquake and indeed the sun and the gravity of the moon then I realized that You can put a type C in it.
Stupid request. Just cut connector and solder new one type C which cost 2$
@@m1nusasusplus897 Simple as that... lol
Any benefit to hyperglides or corepad skatez on this mouse?
yes the stock feet are trash
what mousepad is that
From where can I buy cable for this mouse? Thank you
Lethal Gaming gear
Se os acessorios ja viecem com o mouse eu ate colocaria, mas eles n vem :( n compensa comprar
bit late but dont push the new mouse skates in with your fingers. it even says just place them there and then push the whole mouse down on the mousepad. this is because you want to create an air pocket in the middle of the skate. if you push that out with yor fingers the skates will only make contact to the mousepad with it edges and you dont want that.
Covering the Paracord cable's loose wires with electrical tape will definitely help.
Why?
@@medeajijavadze1532 it's sarcasm.
i want to get after market skates for my ROG strix carry mice you guys any sellers???
Stock skates are definitely looks better and faster.
Is it possible to silence or reduce the sound of the click with a mod?
Not that I know of.
have you had any issues with the plastic ring around the sensor? i actually just picked up a viper mini today and the middle plastic ring is so damn scratchy and is making this god awful sound when i’m sliding it on my mousepad, i don’t know if it’s just my copy, but others on reddit do say this is an issue
I did have some scraping when I first got it, but after some time using it the issue just went away. I thought it was just the feet needing to be broken in but maybe it was the plastic ring.
@@CalebThornton oh okay :) it’s just been super annoying and i’ve been looking for ways to either fix it or just figure out what it was lol
@@mattato8272 Hopefully you can just return it or the issue is resolved soon!
@@CalebThornton yes sir, i did notice your copy was made in thailand, as my copy is as well. apparently the copies made in china have a smoother plastic, and copies made in taiwan or thailand have the hard plastic around the sensor. i’ll be returning it and testing my luck with another copy, but if that doesn’t work then i’ll try purchasing it elsewhere. i picked mine up at a local best buy
@@mattato8272 hmmm interesting, thanks for that extra info I didn't have any idea about that. Yeah hopefully next copy works better for you! It is a great mouse so too bad you had those issues with it.
my hand lenght is 18.5 cm and width is 10cm is it fit in my hand and if the sensor is good for competetive game and for low sens player?
Yes, I'm almost the same hand size and this is my favorite mouse so far using it with claw grip. The sensor is very accurate and consistent, almost no difference from the 3366 on my g403, it just has an issue with high lod (which can be fixed by tape trick).
@@Omarock what is the high lod?
@@Omarock cause im new to gaming mouse
worth it to wait for a model o minus wireless or i mod my viper mini now?
Going to be up to you. You could mod it for relatively cheap now VS waiting for who knows how long for the Model O minus Wireless
@@CalebThornton Yoooo! You reply so fast! Hope you'll get more subs than that (I mean, the amount that you deserve)
Btw, what should I do for a better wireless feeling: (both options are same price for me) Get the razer v3 bungee or paracord my mouse
@@CrystaletExo Haha thank you!
@@CrystaletExo For the best feel I would recommend both paracording and using a mouse bungee. If I was to only have one I would go for a Bungee though since that can be used with any mouse down the road and it reduces a ton of drag.
damn, razer did not want you to open the viper mini. the previous mice were easy to open
Right lol. Was more difficult than I anticipated. Still is the most difficult shell on a mouse that I have opened
I think the skate thingy is a scam, the default one that came with the mouse mini is good enough, I've used a glass skate on another mini before it doesnt feel any different, the only way to have a smoother glide on this mouse is to mod the rubber surrounding the sensor itself.
Hey what did you use to get the screws out?
a... screwdriver?
@@ketsu9670 what kind though? I used the smallest crosshead screwdriver I had and it was still to big to get the screws out
Does changing the chord make latency higher?
No
Is this mouse Better then the red dragon m808 honeycomb
Yes it is better. You need the software to change lighting affects
is it safe to take off the model number sticker off the mouse?>
It will probably just void the warranty if anything. Besides that though should be no issues
the stock skates seem to be better
Are mods like these useful for fps games?
they only really benefit fps games. especially the better cable and mouse feet/mousepad.
Are the tiger ark skates PTFE ?
Yeah they are PTFE
@@CalebThornton are the tiger ark 2 better than the tiger ark on the leathalgaminggear.com
there always sold out for some reason , as you can see even in the video. :(
Yeah, they do their cable drops on Saturdays normally if you follow them on twitter you can stay up to date. He didn't do one last week because he was sick, there should be one today though
whats the name of the lavalier microphone?
It's called the Rhode Wireless Go. I have it linked in the description.
@@CalebThornton i know, but the lavalier mic is not included in the kit, thats ehy i'm asking, nvm
@@sf-gt9co The lav mic is from rhode too, its meant to be used with the wireless go. just look it up you will see it.
After all this the maouse became heavier.maybe 70 gr now.i think the point of this mouse is the weight.
It weighs 64g now, basically indistinguishable from the stock weight feel.
what paracord did you use?
I mention it in the video and it's linked in the description. If you are wondering what design though it is Metallic.
Maybe im blind but i cant find a link to the paracord in the desc... just tried searching for it on the lethal gaming gear website and couldnt see it
@@SteGy It is the first link in the description. Here is another link - lethalgaminggear.com?aff=11
Is tiger ark 2 better than tiger ark ?
I would personally go with corepadz, but if you want to use Tiger Arcs go ahead and get the Arc 2's
@@CalebThornton ok I’ll go with the tiger arc 2
Cause I was just putting one on to test them. I had not tested them all when I made this video. I got sent all three Tiger Arc 1's, Tiger Arc 2's, and corepadz.
@@CalebThornton ok
I like ur name I’m also Caleb
In my country you can't even find skates.
AGA BUNEAMK BUNE
Lethal Gaming Gears’s paracord cables sell out in seconds for each drop. Be quick....
For sure 👍
You sound like Austin Evans but if he was gay
Don't know who that is lol but how flattering just what I was going for
Why would I want to upgrade a piece of shit?
Sorry, did the Razer Viper Mini emotionally harm you in some way?
@@CalebThornton it hurts my hand, especially that mouse wheel, it feels like it's biting my finger every time I use it, no wonder it's called the "viper"
@@tiefightergaming2912 lol
@@CalebThornton it does, the gripy texture hurts after a while, on top of other problems like bad rgb placement the cable dragging as well as no drag clicking ability
@@tiefightergaming2912 That's odd, need to toughen up your hands haha. I find the texture not even ruff enough to get a good grip. I don't care about RGB personally either so doesn't matter for me. Drag clicking is basically just used by minecraft community so not a big deal for most. There is a lot of drag clicking mice you could use though. I'm just more curious as to why you would watch this if you already hate the viper mini
I can't take this seriously. Anyone who opens a plastic housing with a screw driver doesn't know what they're talking about. Use a proper plastic prying tool.
I can't take it either, what are these people thinking! It's almost like they don't own one and had to find something else to use.
what mousepad is that
