Our Verdict
Razer Viper Mini
EVGA X17
The Razer Viper Mini is a better wired FPS gaming mouse compared to the EVGA X17, but the EVGA has several features the Razer lacks. The Razer is much lighter and feels sturdier. It also has a more flexible cable and mouse feet that glide more smoothly. Performance-wise, it has a more consistent sensor and much lower click latency. You can also set a HyperShift button to enable a second layer of commands. Comparatively, the EVGA has a thumb rest and four additional buttons, including an extra side button and L/R scroll wheel tilt buttons. It also has a wider CPI range, a lower lift-off distance, and a higher maximum polling rate.
