Razer has literally answered my prayers for a smaller mouse. The Viper Mini, a smaller version of the Viper, which together with the Viper Ultimate, are among the best gaming mice to come out in 2019. Razer says explicitly that the Viper Mini is designed for those with hands measuring under 17cm, which means that it’s targeted at a very specific subset of people. Me.
The Viper Mini comes with two large feet at the top and bottom, which glide smoothly right out of the box. In fact, I find them a bit smoother than the Corepad feet I installed on my Ultralight 2.
At 61g, the Mini isn’t quite as light as the Cooler Master MM710, Glorious Model O-, or even the Ultralight 2 itself. However, I don’t think it makes much of a difference, and I was able to jump straight in with the Viper Mini with no adjustments whatsoever.
The Mini reminds me more of the Ultralight 2, with a very similar shape. The main difference is that the Ultralight 2 is flatter, measuring around 35.8mm at its tallest point to the Viper Mini’s 38.3mm. The Viper Mini fills out your hand a little more, so it’s better suited to the palm grip than the Ultralight 2, although it still works great for the fingertip and claw grips.
I use the fingertip grip, and it’s short enough so I can still make micro-adjustments with my fingers and pull the mouse down without it coming up short against my palm.
One of the complaints I had with the Viper and Viper Ultimate was how the side buttons were very nearly flush with the sides, which made them hard to press. Razer fixed this on the Viper Mini; the side buttons stick out more and feel far crisper than before. It ditches the ambidextrous side buttons on the right side though, catering specifically to right-handers this time.
