Our Verdict

Razer Viper Mini

Logitech G403 HERO

The Razer Viper Mini and the Logitech G403 HERO are both excellent FPS gaming mice. The Razer is smaller and significantly lighter, making it a fantastic choice for ultra-light gaming. However, people with larger hands may have a hard time using it with a palm or a claw grip. On the contrary, the Logitech may not be ideal for people with smaller hands using a claw or a fingertip grip. That said, it has a better sensor with a wider CPI range, almost no CPI variation, and a lower lift-off distance.
