Our Verdict

Razer Viper Mini

Razer Cobra Pro

The Razer Viper Mini and the Razer Cobra Pro are gaming mice with virtually the same size and shape, but the Razer Cobra Pro has rubberized side grips. The Cobra Pro also has better sensor performance, has more extensive RGB lighting, and connects wirelessly with its USB receiver or via Bluetooth. On the other hand, the Viper Mini is a wired-only model. That said, it's also significantly more lightweight.
