Our Verdict
Razer Viper
ASUS TUF Gaming M3
The Razer Viper is a much better FPS gaming mouse than the ASUS TUF Gaming M3. The Razer is much lighter, has a significantly more flexible cable, and two extra side buttons. It also has a wider CPI range, a more precisely adjustable CPI, a lower lift-off distance, a more consistent sensor, and much lower click latency. On the other hand, the ASUS has onboard memory, which the Razer lacks. Both mice are best-suited for a claw or fingertip grip for most hand sizes.
