Our Verdict

Razer Viper Ultimate

Razer Viper

The Razer Viper and Razer Viper Ultimate are nearly identical. The Ultimate is wireless, while the Viper is wired-only. The Viper is a few grams lighter than the Ultimate; other than that, they're pretty much the same. You get a nice RGB charging cradle with the Ultimate, and the USB charging cable is a bit more flexible.
