Razer Cobra Pro Reddit Verdict: Great Shape, Wrong Weight

For the average consumer looking for a wireless Viper Mini it's fine. For the enthusiast, this was a major dropping of the ball. People have been clamoring for non-signature edition Viper Mini for years. It's 77 grams… which is the same weight as the EC2-CW, and this is largely due to the unnecessary RGB and rubber sides adding weight. What Razer should have done was released a normal version with the bells and whistles and a "pro" version without rgb, rubber sides and lowered the weight.

Major L by razer. Too heavy and has unnecessary RGB.

i think razer is laughing at how many people complained about it and still bought it.

Good shape, good clicks, fairly light and well built, yeah it's a nice mouse.

Decent mouse at a moronic price. Just do a v2 without the RGB, shed off 20g and sell it for $99 max and then they'll have a winner.

Money grab, arguably worse than the VMSE, at least thats actually a solid performance mouse. This serves no purpose vs the rest of the lineup.

The ugly cousin of the viper mini.

Good mouse. People here hate it because they only want a specific type of mouse compared to the general public.

The intended audience isn't us, mice enthusiast. I totally understand that some people want a mouse with RGB that feels sturdy but still has the latest tech. I'm not mad that Razer decided to take VM shape and make this mouse. There are plenty of other mice that are great and fit our requirements.

Razer synapse sucks, better versions of the shape for cheaper and weigh much less, not beholden to frequent scroll wheel qc issues that are common with these models.

It is a good steal for this price. Would've been overpriced with the original price. Good shape, good tech, but you have bloatware synapse to deal with, and the sides might have an annoying texture.

I've had mine for 6 months, the build quality and the weight is perfect for me.

Honestly, it's a solid mouse for mainstream buyers and feature-packed. Kinda mimics what the RVU did, but now in a smaller size. I think it'll sell very well even if it isn't targeted at this community.

It's a super solid mouse, half of these people complaining act like they're pros. For the average gamer, like 98% of us it's gonna work just fine. I've gone through viper v2 pro, deathadder v3 pro, orochi v2, older death adders, Logitech g703, g903 and gpx and I love the cobra pro the most. Great shape, weight is balanced. It feels really good to use and hold, my arthritis fingers don't cramp up oddly enough as they did for all the previous mice.

It feels grippier, premium and fuller in hand comparing with viper mini se. The mouse 1/2 are consistent and satisfying. It supports 4khz dongle with top tier performance, I can easily hit high scores in aim hero with it. But it's on the heavier side and the smaller size makes it feel even more dense comparing with other light-weight mice.

I love my Cobra Pro! I just replaced my Viper V3 Pro with it. The Viper was great but way too expensive to justify its existence. Because of how light they made it the battery wouldn't even last me an entire day of gaming without needing a recharge. The lack of wireless charging support made it worse having to have the damn thing tethered to an unsightly cable far too frequently.

For that price it's an excellent mouse. Most of the criticism towards the mouse was because of its high launch price.

Its an amazing mouse that has gotten a lot of unwarranted imo hate from elitist youtubers for not being 50g 4 button shell. However if you look beyond that it literally has razers best hardware and sports a very beloved viper mini shape.

This mouse got a lot of hatred in the community because every Razer user was looking forward to a new Viper model but instead they released the Cobra Pro and replaced the Viper, everyone hated this because it's around 16 grams heavier at the cost of RGB lighting and so many people using Razer Vipers complained about it, the entire YouTube community hates this mouse... but honestly, it's a great mouse.

Yes if you don't mind the weight, rgb, rubber grips.

Don't encourage razer to put out shitty mice like this again by buying this sad excuse of a Viper Mini Wireless. I don't know how they managed to make a smaller mouse HEAVIER than the previous generation of Viper Ultimate.

I like my Cobra Pro. The Viper Mini body fits my grip well. Looks gorgeous with my Firefly v2 Pro with Fire Theme. The narrowness lets my hand relax in a natural state, so it's good long term. The weight never bothered me, and it has all the high-end tech that the same gen mice have.

Tried it. Didn't think weight would be that big of deal coming from viper mini but it is very back heavy and this makes it feel even heavier than it is for fingertip grip users.

Not what we asked for, as many others have stated but it's not HORRIBLE. Clicks are great, and it's an upgrade from my worn out RVU. RGB is cool and all, but would much rather a lighter weight and remove the side lighting. Feels good in hand, my copy has no QC issues (Almost a first for a new Razer purchase).

For this price? Hell no, its heavy and you can get a viper mini clone ATK f1 extreme for 80 Dollars with 8k dongle and flagship sensor.

Feels so good in hand, just too heavy. Great pick if you don't care about the weight!

It's alright I don't mind the rgb and weight but I think they should have removed the rubber grips because I heard overtime it will get worse.

I have a Cobra Pro that I use daily for my work computer. I originally wanted something I could alternate work and light gaming with, and I wanted something that had wireless charging. I love the weight on it, and the coating/grips are completely fine. I use a fingertip grip style, and it fits my hand well.

I have Cobra Pro and Viper V3 Hyperspeed. Cobra tbh is the best mouse I have used so far, the most clicky and responsive. For me RGB is important because I enjoy it a lot and I don't need a light mouse cause I don't play competitively so for me its perfect.

Its a good mouse, the only problems is that its overpriced and synapse sucks but at 50% off its fine.

The Cobra Pro is a fine mouse, along the lines of having an Ultimate grade. Has the side grips, full RGB lighting like the Basilisk v3, and Qi puck charging option. At 77g I don't find it to be a "heavy" mouse at all, but I also like mice in this weight range. The pursuit of ultralights is really a preference, but some on Reddit would tell you it's Gospel.

Came from the Viper 8k and I'm pretty happy with it. I still feel like it's a bit overpriced for what it is but handling-wise it's fine. From what I understand I would have to pay another €100 for that mouse-dock to unlock its full potential, but I'm quite happy with it, using it wired on the provided cable.

It's definitely heavy like the other user said. I thought a few grams wouldn't make a difference but it does compared to my lighter viper ultimate. I got used to it but it's something you might notice at first.

I honestly don't mind the weight too too much. The biggest complaint I have is the side grips... just why. For me, it's less grippy than the coating itself and when my hand starts to sweat, it's basically unplayable for me.

Personally, it's been one of the most comfortable mice I've had. It gets a bad rap for being too heavy compared to most modern ultralight gaming mice; but for general use and casual gaming, I find a bit of weight makes it far more comfortable than the much lighter Deathadder v3 Hyperspeed & Cobra wired, both of which I compared directly to the Cobra Pro. The build quality feels more solid.

After ~3 months the scroll started to miss scrolls or scroll in opposite directions, cleaning was not helping. I bought this Razer Cobra Pro just because I wanted to be mobile and take it with my laptop without any cables and didn't expect that a mouse for 150$ will have such issues.

Great mouse, but after 10 months of daily use, mine is starting to develop the same issues that the Viper 8K I used before suffered from after a while. Razer mouse-wheels seem to be utter crap for some reason.

Cobra hyperspeed is in every way better than the pro except for the RGB but its still very minimal difference. That's why currently in amazon europe, the price are the same for both.

It's companies like Target, Walmart, Bestbuy that want to stock a gaming mouse so that a parent will see the premium price tag, see the rgb and high list of features, and buy it for their children.

Okay but overpriced, pretty typical of razer.

Its amazing I applied some hyper x grip tape and its my endgame.

I don't hate it at all. This is one of the few mice with more than a standard 5 buttons. It's fully programmable and has on-board memory for any assignments and macros. Ideally I would like to disassemble it and remove excess RGB PCBs to remove some grams from it. Additional versatility with that puck also.

In my personal opinion, it's not worth the price, it's very flashy and gimmicky to me — very okay for someone who doesn't know a lot about mice but for people who do it's very below meh.
