Our Verdict
SteelSeries Sensei 310
Razer Viper Mini
The Razer Viper Mini is a comparable gaming mouse to the SteelSeries Sensei 310. It's much lighter, has a more flexible cable, much lower click latency, and mouse feet that glide more smoothly. Unfortunately, its software is only compatible with Windows. Comparatively, the SteelSeries has two additional side buttons, a wider CPI range, and software compatible with Windows and macOS. The Razer is best-suited for a fingertip grip, while the SteelSeries is best-suited for a claw grip, though both are suitable for other grip types depending on hand size.
