Our Verdict

Razer Viper

BenQ ZOWIE ZA11-B

The Razer Viper performs better overall than the BenQ ZOWIE ZA11-B. It has a wider CPI range that you can adjust precisely in its customization software, a lower minimum lift-off distance, and a much lower click latency. You can also remap its buttons and change the RGB lighting. It also weighs much less, making it a better choice for fans of ultra-light gaming mice.
