Our Verdict

Zaunkoenig M2K

Razer Viper V2 Pro

The Zaunkoenig M2K and the Razer Viper V2 Pro are lightweight gaming mice. The Zaunkoenig is a wired-only model that's significantly more lightweight. It also allows you to natively set a higher maximum polling rate of 8000Hz. However, it lacks side buttons and is designed specifically for use with a fingertip grip. By contrast, the Razer is a wireless model with two side buttons on the left side. It's also much better suited for use with a wider range of grip types.
