Razer Viper Mini SE: What Real Owners Actually Think

the fact that they literally raised the price to 300 shows that theyre trying to see how far they can push pricing on mice. dont buy this bros, for context you can get a viper v3 pro, an artisan pad, and still have 100 left over

I received my copy of the Razer Viper Mini SE (#87) the other day. I was lucky enough to get it from the Reddit early access program. The copy I received is flawless. It has zero button wobble and no alignment issues. In short, it is a perfect copy. The clicks on this mouse are incredibly well done, and it feels better than my Dav3. The Magnesium and coating feels great, and it seems more like a V4 of Razer's Optical switches because they feel lighter and different than on the V2 and DAV3.

You know there's going to be morons who buy it and flex it like it was a good idea.

You know if Finalmouse looks like a good value, you fucked up.

As someone who got a flawless copy and also came from the Dav3 pro, I agree with all your points. This is the best mouse I've ever purchased hands down.

People will probably buy it anyway and Razor will be laughing to the bank. Even if sales dropped by 2/3rds, they'd still make more money on this over a $100 mouse. Same revenue, but 1/3 of the production/shipping costs. If needed, they will graciously put in on sale for a whole $50 off and people will jump on that like it's a steal.

Gatekeeping a mini shape of their most popular mouse, forcing people to get either this hypebeast fake limited scam edition or the brick edition. And for not releasing a normal wireless viper mini, like was promised multiple times specially to this community.

This review sounds about right. I'm glad that you found your main. I have this mouse too, and it's one of my current favourites. I never have a main per se, just a rotation of favourites at a time.

Because this mouse was basically a middle finger to this community in which multiple razer reps lied to the community

It's his money and he's happy with his purchase. You're bitching about what someone else spends his money on and enjoys. Really bringing down the redditor curve.

After owning this mouse for almost 2 years, im getting rid of it. Dont play games much anymore or as serious and I really only kept it around because I wanted the best peripherals. Sold it on ebay for $310. The perfect mouse, this mouse is flawless. I mean flawless. Ive owned over 10 mice, this mouse blows everything out of the water. Battery and battery life even after a year it still acts brand new. I charge it for maybe 20 minutes at most and its fully charged for ATLEAST 3 days.

Once again this garbage that was a spit in the face after this company swore up and down they were bringing back the regular rvm. Yet this community will still buy this and support this company that had community managers and r&d in here lying right to our faces when the se was received so poorly yet people bought it anyways. Zero backbone both here and in gaming and that is why we are getting raked over the coals.

You can buy multiple sub-50g mice from China for the price of this thing. Absolute clown show.

im not supporting razer for the pricing but jesus some of yall need to shut the fuck up about the pricing already. this is r/mouseREVIEW not r/mouseWHINERS ffs. someone who has cash to spend and is giving us a REVIEW like this sub should be.

Bro I just want the shape and size but wireless.

This is not targeted at the general consumer but whales. It's for the people who buy without looking at the price tag, they literally don't care about price/performance.

There's a fucking viper mini clone in the atk f1 extreme that's ~35g and only costs $70-$80. That's damn near a QUARTER of the price of this shit.

Interesting. You can buy a WLMouse Beast 8k that is very similar in features and shape for half the price lol

justified is a bit of a stretch

Used to always want one of these until WL Mouse came out of nowhere and IMO is a much better magnesium mouse at like half the price.

This is the real problem, if this released at the same time or after a more standard viper mini wireless I don't think people would care and would be able to view it as a craftsmanship product, but instead we have this releasing way before the standard version which basically makes it the mouse that everyone was waiting for and as a result causing disappointment.

They didn't even make any changes. I thought they would at least reduce the weight or revise the design slightly. They just increased the price.

Razer releases the DAV3 Hyperspeed and gives us hope that they might actually be back on the right track, and then this happens...

mine also arrived with 0 issues and I love it! The OG Viper this replaced is now joining the bin of broken/old/unloved mice.

I just wish they kept the OG Viper MINI in stock. I'd argue that its up there as one of the goats as a budget entryway into the lightweight small mouse hobby. Such a legendary product. Only for its legacy to become a low effort cash grab.

It's a showpiece, a collector item, the price is not to be compared or compete with anything. People are mad because razer didn't announce the normal versions at the same time, so they blame anything they see in front of their eyes.

BeastX is a cheaper endgame.

They should have made viper mini wireless for mass production with the same materials as the dav3. Same pricetag without 4k dongle. Everyone happy. Then they could have released a limited version of magnesium one for whatever price they want. Collectors would have paid for it.

I like the shape but they fumbled the scroll wheel for me. It's way too stiff and the metal isn't grippy enough which causes it to slip when trying to do a quick scroll.

Mine arrived yesterday and razer QC is the same sh*t as when you purchases yours. I also have the same grain of sand imperfection on the left mouse button that you can feel if you slide your finger + 1-2 smaller ones on the left side as well. For 320 euro it's unacceptable even if not the worse issue we know the mouse can have.

The price isn't justified, you'd be surprised how much it costs to make a mouse. Let me just tell you this, if Razer sold the mouse for $100, they would still be making margins on each mouse.

Literal trash mouse, base plate is not useable if you use a soft pad with some pressure.

Mouse is literally a legend. Don't think there will ever be a mouse with a more sexier design than this one.

I agree. I own a ton of mice, and the rvmse is just on another level. Comfort, build quality, weight, shape, feel, battery. Just superior imo. Just sucks it costs so much.

it is a really good mouse, however i never managed to get a good qc. but in a perfect world, i could recommend it

Nah I just kept it. Best mouse I've ever owned. I agree with you for the price it should be perfect but if you can, just try to enjoy it bc to me, it's really perfection. Albeit, overpriced

Depends, if you got the money then i'd go for this. My quality is superb, everything is sturdy and nothing loose, well-built. My gameplay with mine is fantastic. I play mainly play Apex and the tracking is insane on the mouse compared to my previous mice.

Nice review. I've been maining the rvmse for a while now and loving the shape and build quality. Came from a gpx and also used the Lamzu Atlantis mini for a while.

i would just like to say after purchasing from the latest drop of the vmse (in white) the quality has been immaculate so far, no wobble, no coating issues, no flex, the click buttons are like the most stable ive ever seen or used. a bit rubbish for value, but aside from that, this is an excellllllenttt quality mouse with good performance, very nice design and a good shape. i would recommend this to anyone who has $300, is financially silly and likes gaming mice

I don't main mine, but it is on my desk and swap to it here and there. Fantastic mouse

I've had my white edition since it came out many months ago and it's been perfect. Maybe everything got fixed with the white edition...i've never tried the black one

I bought one two years ago. After one year I had to get a replacement because the battery stopped working. Another year up to today and I just had to ask for another replacement because the sensor died. Razer has been good with the warranty, but I wish I don't have to go through another one close to when the warranty ends.

Overpriced, bloated software. Having bought one of the latest white production runs I was expecting something more. I had it for a few days and forgot how much I hated Razer's software. Used it for about 10 hours and sold it on marketplace. My beast x Mini shits on it all day, and I don't have to deal with the shitty software.
