In a funny example of esports becoming increasingly indistinguishable from regular sports, Razer used athlete endorsements as proof of how great its new Viper Ultimate Wireless Mouse is. After all, when there\u2019s potentially thousands of dollars on the line, you absolutely need to trust that your mouse will line up that perfect headshot. So it takes a lot to shift that trust to a new device, even from a trusted brand like Razer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My needs are nothing like that. I get paid to write about video games, not play them at a professional skill level. But after using it for a few days the Razer Viper still impressed me with how it makes wires basically irrelevant.<\/p>\n

Razer tossed out a lot of snappy buzzwords to explain what makes using the Viper so smooth and seamless. And they are pretty cool explanations. Instead of a mechanical switch the 5G optical switch uses a laser beam for faster 20,000 DPI responses as well as less repeated physical wear and tear to keep up durability across 70 million clicks. The new Razer Blade 15 Advanced laptop (now available alongside a cute Quartz Pink base model) uses similar tech for its keyboard.<\/p>\n

The \u201cHyperSpeed\u201d wireless technology claims to be 25 percent faster than the competition, with data packet transmission under 200. That and adaptive frequency eliminate lag even when near a bunch of other wireless devices. And other little hardware tricks include syncing your motion and calculating how you lift off and land to prevent nasty interruptions.<\/p>\n

But what matters is the feel. Razer could show me all the graphs in the world, but what\u2019s really convincing is just using the mouse for yourself. And again, while I\u2019m no esports star, I definitely appreciated the bump up in quality. It\u2019s almost too lightweight and responsive, suddenly the mouse cursor became a far more accurate representation of how jittery my hands can be. But you can adjust the sensitivity along with the button profiles. With tweaking, my aim definitely became better in PC shooters like Counter-Strike<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And in a little Pepsi Challenge I was doomed to fail, I couldn\u2019t tell the difference between using the mouse wirelessly (up to 70 hours) or with its braided cable connected directly to the computer. Granted, I didn\u2019t try that hard, but if you have to really scrutinize to tell the difference then Razer basically accomplished their goal.<\/p>\n

At $150, the Razer Viper Ultimate Wireless Mouse definitely wants you to pay for this premium experience. But sometimes that\u2019s worth it. The Razer Blade 15 Studio Edition costs $4,000 because its a real workstation for professional editing. With this mouse, your profession is just you being the best player you can be.<\/p>\n
