Our Verdict

Razer Viper Ultimate

BenQ ZOWIE ZA11-B

The Razer Viper Ultimate and the BenQ ZOWIE ZA12-B are both ambidextrous-shaped gaming mice, but the Razer is better overall. It has a lower minimum lift-off distance, an adjustable CPI range, a much lower click latency, and many programmable buttons. Also, the Razer is much lighter, making it a better choice for fans of ultra-light mice. However, while the Razer's small size makes it more suitable for people with small hands using a palm or claw grip, it means that people with larger hands may feel the mouse is too short. If you have large or extra-large hands, you may find the BenQ's larger size much more comfortable to use.
