After a night on an OP1 8K, the Viper V3 Pro's tracking dead zone was glaringly obvious to them even without lifting the mouse; a later firmware fixed their unit.

Tried the Viper V3 Pro: well built, but its sharp, angled front edge jabs their ring finger, so they kept a Maya X instead.

“The front lip is angled and sharp on the VV3P and if you rest your fingers there, it is not too comfy.”

Calls the Viper V3 Pro perfect and plans to buy a second; it fixes the Viper V2 Pro's shape and coating and has bigger, better-placed side buttons.

First impressions of the Viper V3 Pro: the shape suits their claw grip far better than their DeathAdder V3 Pro, and clicks feel very good.

positivecomfortable

Coming from an ASUS Keris II Ace, finds the Viper V3 Pro's right side curves in too much for their large-hand hybrid grip.

The most they have paid for a mouse and no regrets; the Viper V3 Pro beats the GPX2.

Has used the Viper V3 Pro daily since launch with a working scroll wheel; it suits claw grips, though the white coating feels cheap and abrasive.

With 17×8 cm hands, uses the Viper V3 Pro as their main; it fills the palm without hindering their pincer claw grip.

Owns both colours of the Viper V3 Pro and rates its build quality near perfect, but is returning them because the shape doesn't suit them.

A long-time GPX user whose GPX2 went in the drawer after three hours with the Viper V3 Pro, which gives a more confident, locked-in grip.

“Used Viper V3 Pro for 3 hours before my GPX2 went in the drawer. Shape is just different enough to promote more confidence in my grip and a slightly more locked in feeling.”

Coming from a G Pro Wireless, loves the Viper V3 Pro; the front flare took some getting used to and onboard memory means they rarely need the software.
