Our Verdict

ASUS ROG Gladius II Wireless

Razer Viper Mini

The ASUS ROG Gladius II Wireless is an okay wireless gaming mouse, while the Razer Viper Mini is an excellent wired gaming mouse. The ASUS connects wired or wirelessly either with its USB receiver or Bluetooth. It has a wider CPI range and a right-handed shape. On the other hand, the Razer is much lighter and feels better built. It has an ambidextrous shape, mouse feet that glide more smoothly, and much lower click latency. The ASUS is suitable for all grip types and most hand sizes, while the Razer is suitable for all hand sizes using a fingertip grip or smaller hands using other grip types.
