Our Verdict

Razer Viper

Sharkoon Light² 200

The Razer Viper and the Sharkoon Light² 200 are lightweight wired gaming mice. The Razer has an ambidextrous shape with two buttons on each side, making it suitable for both right and left hands. Its shape and size make it best suited for a claw or fingertip grip for most hand sizes. Also, it has much lower click latency, and you can set a HyperShift button to enable a second layer of controls. On the other hand, the Sharkoon has a right-handed shape with two buttons on the left side only, and it has a honeycomb cutout pattern over its body. It has smoother-gliding mouse feet and onboard memory. Its shape and larger size make it more suitable for a palm or claw grip.
