Same feel as the v1 but lighter and less extras
By R. Freiberger on Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2022
Not a huge gamer but I'm sort of picky with my mouse feel and size. I tried a few different mice and my previous main mouse was the Glorious Model D, both wired and wireless. It's been a great mouse but I found the wireless version battery doesn't last more than a day and it's been "wired" almost full time. Started to be frustrated with all of the cables on my desk and tried to find another wireless that fit my hand but also wasn't super heavy, low latency and had good battery life. From the reviews, the top gaming mouse was the Logitech G Pro X, very expensive but I wanted the lowest latency possible. While the performance of the Pro X was great, the body feel was very cheap and almost like a plastic Easter Eggshell. The body also felt too slick and combined with the extreme lightweight just didn't vibe with me. For work I have a Razer v1 Viper wired, it's good but the buttons feel slightly mushy, so I didn't check Razer for a gaming replacement at first. Later I ended up buying a Razer v1 Viper wireless, and looks like they fixed the buttons, they were very snappy and the latency of the wireless was almost the same as the wired. After such a positive experience, I was going to buy another v1 but with the news of the v2 coming out I held out. From the first out-of-the-box experience with the v2 Viper, I first noticed they removed the dock and there's no longer any quick charge ability. Honesly, this isn't a big deal, if you need to charge the mouse, just plug it in, and use it. With the dock, it's sitting on the stand, taking up space. The mouse is now USB-C which is nice, comes with the same very flexible cable, and the wireless dongle has a nice extender where you can have sitting as close to the mouse as possible (reduces latency). What's the biggest change on the mouse? It's very noticeable of the weight reduction, it's about 12g of difference, but at 58g, it still feels very solid (much better over the Pro X). The body of the mouse is the same as the other Vipers, it's slightly rough but doesn't feel cheap, fitment is great in my medium hand. It is worth noting Razer had to remove a few features of the v1 Viper in order to reduce weight. One thing is it's a solid black mouse, I love the new look. The only indication of any LED's is a very small dot right below the mouse wheel, this indicates the battery charge. There's no other LED's on the mouse so keep that in mind if you're looking for matching the keyboard. Another change is the removable of the right side "thumb buttons". The v1 Viper allows for right and left-handed use, but the v2 Viper only has the buttons on the left side (for the right handed user). A nice bonus is the included grips (four pieces, two side stickers, two for the buttons), these are very grippy type of rubber. While I haven't owned the v2 Viper wireless long, it has great latency on the wireless side and with the light weight doesn't feel any more than my wired mice. The pricing is a bit steep but it's on par with other high end gaming mice, I would choose this over the other brands based on the Razer fits my hand the best and has the best click feel. Downsides? The biggest issue is the auto-installer for the Razer software. I'm sure the software is not too bad but having the prompt every time is frustrating. I often use a Razer mouse for my work laptop and given the security issues, prefer to not see this app auto-execute.

Es excelente PERO (rueda presento fallas y razer no responde en Latinoamérica por compras en amazon)
By alvaro marroquin on Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2023
Desde el inicio se vio el cambio desde el Viper normal por cable y del steel series 650 que tenia antes, de verdad me sentí mas cómodo con el, pero lamentablemente desde el 8 de abril de 2023 que lo tengo en uso a hoy 12 de agosto de 2023, empezó a fallar la rueda, en ocasiones al ir bajando vuelve y sube así el movimiento de la rueda sea hacia abajo. La garantía lamentablemente como es vendido por Amazon debe ser como siempre, envíelo para revisión pero o sorpresa pero pague dicho envió, y la verdad es muy costoso desde Colombia enviar paquetes de reemplazo, ya he perdido varias garantías por lo mismo costo elevado, lamentable que marcas tan grandes no tengan soporte en Colombia. pero bueno, en resumen el mouse es bueno, pero no esperaba este daño tan rápido, me duro mas el anterior y aun esta en excelente estado, solo que porque necesito si o si el uso inalámbrico. Actualización 1 de septiembre Después de muchos correos con la marca, ninguno me dio solución, hasta el momento lo único real que me han dicho es que la política de reemplazo no aplica para Latinoamérica. me contacte nuevamente con Amazon y después de varios intentos explicándoles que el fabricante no tiene políticas de reemplazo para Latinoamérica, me dieron el reembolso completo por el mouse sin tener que devolverlo. Pero no volveré a comprar nada de razer, porque aparte de que la inversion es considerable, si surge un problema la marca nunca responderá. Pero Amazon le tocara responde cada vez, y ps la marca se jacta de 2 años de garantía sin aplicarla realmente. En conclusión, si tiene el dinero para comprar algo de razer y esta en Latinoamérica especialmente en Colombia, trate de hacer la inversión directo con un distribuidor que este autorizado en la pagina de razer por si surge algo no tener el dolor de cabeza de contactar directo al fabricante para que al final digan que no pueden responder por la garantía. o Compre steelseries, excelentes mas de 5 años usándolos y sin problemas. ya estoy buscando el reemplazo de este con el saldo de regalo de Amazon.
