Our Verdict

Razer Viper Ultimate

Mad Catz B.A.T. 6+

The Razer Viper Ultimate and the Mad Catz B.A.T. 6+ are true ambidextrous gaming mice with side buttons on either side. However, the Mad Catz is a wired-only mouse, while the Razer is a wireless mouse with better overall performance. The Razer is also somewhat lighter and feels sturdier. It also has mouse feet that glide more smoothly. Performance-wise, it has a more consistent sensor, a lower minimum lift-off distance, a higher maximum CPI, and marginally lower click latency. You can also set a HyperShift button to enable a secondary layer of commands. Comparatively, the Mad Catz has modular pieces, including a thumb and pinky rest and a higher maximum polling rate. It's also more accommodating to more hand sizes overall.
