Our Verdict

Razer DeathAdder V2

Razer Viper Mini

The Razer DeathAdder V2 and the Razer Viper Mini are two fairly similar-performing mice but are for different grips. The V2 is more suited for a claw grip, while the Mini is great for a fingertip grip. They both have similar lightweight cables, but the Mini's body is noticeably lighter than the V2. On the other hand, the V2 has Razer's latest high-end sensor, which performs slightly better than the Mini's sensor.
