[Review] Razer Viper
Item Type: Mouse
Brand: Razer
Model: Viper

The Good The Viper is a very nice mouse to look at, hansomly resembling it's namesake, and the casing is designed so that the led glows eerily through the mouse giving it a nice look. The buttons are nice and big, and it has handy non slip "rails" running down the side making the whole thing easier to hold. It is also very comfortable to use. First and formost this a gaming mouse, so expect lightning fast reactions, 1000 dpi (dots per inch), thats 200 more then say, the MX led series offers. So during a game it handles beautifully, tracking all of your movements smoothly, allowing you to get very precise aim, or to spin round really, really fast. For a laugh I set the Vipers sensitivity on full (using the handy software icluded) and CS: S sens on full to then just moved my hand from one side of my mousemat to the other, the result: lots of comedy spinning, and eventually my game crashing. The clincher? it was £30 when i bought it and must be considerably cheaper now. Plus the usb bit is gold. Anything gold reeks of quality, and bling.
The Bad it's a bit small, really small. Even my baby like hands dwarf this little beast so I suppose this could be a serious problem for the larger handed individual. Also the mouse whell is rubbish, it clicks annoyingly and doesn't always respond to being used as a middle click button; and while we're on the subject of buttons, there are only three, if that's a real problem for you (yes YOU you MX user).
The Skinny A small, sleek mouse, with a few problems but a lot more good points, in fact I'd positively recommend it to all those speed freaks out there. Also the gold.
