Our Verdict

Logitech M100

Razer Viper 8KHz

The Logitech M100 is a sub-par, budget office mouse, while the Razer Viper 8KHz is an excellent FPS gaming mouse. The Razer feels sturdier, has four side buttons, a more flexible cable, and better-gliding mouse feet. It also has an adjustable CPI, a much higher polling rate of 8000Hz, a significantly lower click latency, and software for customization. The Razer is best-suited for a palm or claw grip for smaller hands or a fingertip grip for larger hands. Comparatively, the Logitech is lighter and well-suited for all grip types and nearly all hand sizes.
