Our Verdict
Razer Mamba Elite
Razer Viper Ultimate
The Razer Mamba Elite is a wired gaming mouse, while the Razer Viper Ultimate is wireless. Both mice are lightweight, though the Ultimate is lighter. The Ultimate is for people with small or medium hands, and those with very large hands will likely only find the Ultimate comfortable in fingertip grip. The Elite can be used in all grip types by all hand sizes, except claw and fingertip grip with small hands. Both mice have low latency, a very wide CPI range, and two additional side buttons.
