Our Verdict
Razer Viper
ROCCAT Burst Core
The ROCCAT Burst Core and the Razer Viper are excellent wired gaming mice with similar sizes, ambidextrous shapes, and straightforward design languages. The ROCCAT has lower click latency and better mouse feet but a much higher lift-off distance, a narrower CPI range, less precise CPI adjustments, and only two side buttons. The Razer is slightly lighter, has two side buttons on either side of the mouse, and a better cable, but it isn't suitable for extra large hands using a palm or claw grip. The ROCCAT is suitable for all grip types, but those with small hands may have trouble reaching both side buttons using a fingertip or claw grip.
