Our Verdict

Razer Viper

Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini

The Razer Viper is overall a better gaming mouse than the Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini, but the Mini is better for a fingertip grip if you have small hands. The Viper has a wider CPI range that can be adjusted more precisely, a lower lift-off distance, and a significantly more consistent sensor. However, the Mini has onboard memory, and its feet glide much smoother.
