Our Verdict
Razer Viper Mini
Pulsar Xlite
The Razer Viper Mini and the Pulsar Xlite are ultra-light gaming mice with comparable features and performance. The Pulsar is lighter and almost universally suitable for all grip types and hand sizes. It also has a wider CPI, a CPI you can adjust more precisely, and lower lift-off distance. On the other hand, the Razer has a lower click latency and allows you to program a HyperShift button, which enables a second layer of programmable controls. It's well-suited for a fingertip grip for all hand sizes but only suitable for smaller hands using other grip types.
