Our Verdict
Razer Viper Ultimate
ASUS ROG Pugio II
The Razer Viper Ultimate is a better wireless gaming mouse than the ASUS ROG Pugio II. It's significantly lighter and has much lower click latency. It also has mouse feet that glide more smoothly, a higher maximum CPI, and a more precisely adjustable CPI. Its shape is best-suited for a fingertip grip for larger hands or a claw or palm grip for smaller hands. Comparatively, the ASUS feels sturdier and has Bluetooth support. It also has hot-swappable switches for the left and right-click buttons. Its shape is well-suited for all grip types and nearly all hand sizes.
