Our Verdict

Razer Viper 8KHz

Corsair SABRE PRO

The Razer Viper 8KHz and the Corsair SABRE PRO are wired mice with similar performance, including maximum polling rates of 8000Hz. The Corsair has a right-handed shape that's well-suited for palm grip, regardless of hand size, but those with small and medium-sized hands may not be able to reach all buttons using a claw or fingertip grip. It has a narrower CPI range, but you can set the CPI by increments of one using the companion software compatible with Windows and macOS. On the other hand, the Razer has an ambidextrous shape that's well-suited for smaller hands using a palm or claw grip and larger hands using a fingertip grip. Its CPI has a wider range but can only be set by increments of 50. It also has two additional side buttons on the right side, RGB lighting, and better mouse feet, although its software is only compatible with Windows.
