Razer Viper Mini Gaming Mouse

At 61 grams and 10% smaller than the regular Viper, the Razer Viper Mini makes a strong case for less mouse. This is the one to consider if you prefer a compact gaming mouse without a chassis full of holes. The shell stays solid; the weight stays low.

The neat bit is inside the buttons: optical switches use light to register clicks rather than traditional mechanical actuation. You also get an 8,500 DPI optical sensor and six programmable buttons, with macros configured through Razer Synapse 3. That gives the little mouse more to do than its size might suggest.

It is still wired, so wireless-only players can keep moving. The Speedflex cable is designed to reduce drag, though, which addresses the more annoying part of being tethered. Chroma RGB underglow supplies the tiny desk rave, with preset profiles and 16.8 million color combinations if matching your setup is part of the sport.
