Our Verdict
Razer Viper 8KHz
Razer Cobra
The Razer Cobra and the Razer Viper 8KHz have the same symmetrical shape, but the Cobra is smaller. The Cobra is lighter and has RGB lighting, which the Viper lacks. On the other hand, the Viper 8KHz has a slightly more lightweight and flexible cable, better sensor accuracy, and it supports a higher maximum polling rate of 8000Hz.
