This summer is really hot, so I prefer to hide in the air-conditioned room and do something that interests me, such as tinkering with peripherals.
The other day, I started a Razer Black Widow Spider V3 mini wireless version, these days to use, I think Razer HYPERSPEED technology is still very cool, stable connection based on the lower latency, for me, such a high level of wireless connection, can be completely trusted.
So the problem is, with the wireless Black Widow Spider V3 mini, the wired viper should be upgraded! All along, for the feel and performance of the Razer Viper Viper, I still like to add, so this time without hesitation to choose the Razer Viper Ultimate Edition (hereinafter referred to as "Viper Ultimate Edition"), not only can be seamless in feel and performance, but also can get rid of the cable shackles, it will be more refreshing to use.
Appearance and design
Razer Viper viper is a symmetrical mouse that takes into account the needs of left and right users, and Viper Ultimate Edition is no exception. Functionally, Razer Viper Ultimate Edition players like to see the Razer phantom lighting effect, high-level HYPERSPEED wireless transmission technology and high-performance FOCUS+, so both the book parameters and the actual use experience are further than the wired version of viper.
As a dual-mode mouse, in addition to the mouse itself, Viper Ultimate comes with a SpeedFlex ultra-light cable and a charging base.
As the name suggests, the SpeedFlex ultra-light cable is very lightweight, which can effectively avoid the "drag and drop feeling" of the mouse in the wired connection state, and the control is freer and smoother. In addition, the outer skin of the cable adopts the weaving process, which is wear-resistant and has a longer life.
The fly in the ointment is that the micro-USB interface is still used at one end of the cable, although there is a clear TOP logo, but it is still slightly inconvenient to plug and unplug. However, I believe that the small partner who chooses the ultimate version of the viper is more interested in the smooth experience of hypersPEED wireless connection, so the SpeedFlex ultralight line is basically used to connect the charging base, and the impact is not large.
The charging base adopts the lower large and small wedge design, the top surface is equipped with two metal contacts for charging the Viper Ultimate Edition, and a USB interface is reserved, which can be used to connect to the wireless receiver, saving the host a USB interface.
In addition, a circle of light strips is set up at the bottom of the charging base, and the lighting effect is very prominent, which is not worthy of the name of the Razer Lamp Factory.
Compared with the wired version, the Viper Ultimate Edition without cable restraints is more free, and the appearance and size are basically the same. All along, lightweight design is a prominent selling point of vipers, wired version of vipers weigh only 69g, so also known as 69 snakes, although viper ultimate version because of the built-in lithium battery weight increased by 5g, but only 74g, it is still light to use.
Another outstanding feature of vipers is the symmetrical design, which can be used with both left and right hands, and is a blessing for left-handed users. In terms of details, the shell of the poisonous viper adopts a frosted process, which is comfortable to the touch, and effectively avoids the problem of sweaty and slippery hands after prolonged use.
The left and right side skirts are made of rubber, and the surface is densely covered with anti-slip texture, which is anti-slip effect in further use. Because of the symmetrical design, two custom buttons are set on the left and right to fully meet the player's efficient operation needs.
The rollers are also rubber-coated and feature rows of non-slip particles on the surface. The resistance of the roller is moderate, the overall feel is not bad, and the fly in the ointment is that there is no lighting effect.
Viper has only one light effect, located at the tail, the classic Razer three-headed snake logo, enough to finish the finishing touch.
The size of the viper is not large, and the back bulge is not high, so players can use a variety of grips such as lying down, finger grip, and grasping according to their own habits, which not only has a high grip comfort, but also has excellent adaptability to the user's palm.
Viper Ultimate edition features a smoother, wear-resistant 100% PTFE foot patch on the bottom. Surrounded by a ring of PTFE footings in the middle is the high-performance FOCUS+ optical sensor, which reaches 20,000 DPI.
As a dual-mode wireless mouse, Viper Ultimate Edition hides the 2.4GHz wireless receiver under the mouse for easy access and storage.
Underneath the optical sensor are two metal contacts for charging, with a concave design so that they do not interfere with daily operation at all. Two buttons are set on the right side of the metal kitchen appliance, namely DPI toggle key and mode toggle key.
Viper can store five sets of DPI data between 100-20000 DPI, quickly switch through the keys, and represent different levels with red, green, blue, blue, and yellow colors, which is convenient for players to confirm the DPI status, or relatively clear and intuitive.
The cable interface of Viper Ultimate Edition is also a micro-USB interface like the charging base. Or that sentence, to the viper ultimate version of the wireless mode performance, enough to meet the needs of the vast majority of players, unless you forget to charge the mouse, and rush to play the game will use the wired mode, otherwise the wireless mode can completely hold the daily use of various use scenarios.
Control Software: Lei Yun 3
The relevant settings of The Razer peripherals are implemented through Thundercloud. After viper ultimate edition access to the host, Thundercloud can automatically identify the charging base and viper ultimate edition, the two devices are independent, so you can set the lamp effect and so on separately.
Leiyun's setup interface is quite simple and intuitive. For Viper Ultimate Edition, in addition to the key customization settings, you can also set the left and right hands according to your own hand habits, and left-handed users can also easily set the mouse to their most powerful state.
Viper Ultimate Edition supports 5 DPI settings from 100 DPI to 20000 DPI, with a minimum particle size of 50 DPI, and different DPI parameters can be set for the X-Y axis according to personal usage habits. In addition, Viper Ultimate Has a polling rate of up to 1000Hz, laying a hardcore performance foundation for precise handling.
In terms of lighting effects, it is thought that there is only one luminous point of the three-headed snake logo, so viper ultimate version presets 5 kinds of light effects such as spectral circulation, breathing effect, static effect, response effect, and audio meter. Combined with other Razer peripherals such as keyboards, you can also make richer and more personalized Razer illusion lighting settings in CHROME STUDIO, which has a stronger sense of atmosphere and more shocking effects.
When charging the base, Viper Ultimate Edition will prompt the power status through different lighting effects, the power is sufficient for green, and the power is lower for red, which is eye-catching and intuitive.
In addition to performance and experience, the battery life performance of Razer Viper Viper Ultimate Edition is also ideal, and the official nominal state without lights can achieve 70 hours of battery life. In actual use, basically after using it, it is put back on the charging base, which is both charged and concise, so there is basically no endurance problem.
Usage experience
In terms of lighting effects, if you look at viper ultimate version alone, because there is only one glow point of the three-headed snake, it can be said that it is decent and full of faith.
With the keyboard, charging base and other peripherals to form a magic light effect, the overall visual effect is much more prominent, which is also the reason why Razer fans continue to be equipped with Razer in addition to performance.
In terms of experience, Viper Ultimate Edition adopts an optical microswitch with higher sensitivity and faster response, which triggers the electrical signal through the reception of the infrared signal, without overcoming the rebound effect, and the click operation will be triggered immediately, more directly and quickly. In addition, the trigger mode of the optical signal effectively reduces the physical wear of the device, so compared with mechanical fretting, the optical fretting life is longer and more durable.
With the blessing of Razer HYPERSPEED technology, the 2.4Ghz wireless mode can also have an ultra-low latency experience, which can easily be qualified for FPS games with high-performance requirements such as CS:GO.
In addition, if you play the game for a long time, the advantages of the design of Razer Viper Viper Ultimate Edition are even more prominent. First of all, the excellent ergonomics and lightweight design, even if it is held for a long time, there will be no obvious fatigue, so that the player can continue to maintain a high level of state; In the game Poison Viper Ultimate Edition' optical micro-motion keystroke experience and response speed are quite online, high-performance optical sensor positioning is also quite accurate, without dragging mud and water, referring to the hardcore performance of which to hit, laying the foundation for an excellent game experience.
Write at the end
Compared with the Viper Wired Edition, the Viper Ultimate Edition completely gets rid of the shackles of the cable, the PTFE foot pad is smoother and smoother, the 20000 DPI PAW3399 optical sensor tracking, positioning is more delicate and precise, the optical micro motion is more sensitive and durable, so the overall performance is better, my wave of upgrades is still quite cost-effective, the experience is super cool.
In addition, small partners who pursue a more extreme experience can also consider Viper V2 Professional Edition, the interface is upgraded to TYPE-C, and there is a harder core performance, the ultimate lightweight design and longer battery life. For players with a good budget, Razer Viper V2 is arguably the ultimate choice for both performance and experience.
