Razer recently launched its first optical mouse
dubbed Viper Thunderbolt. The mouse adopts a lightweight design, weighing just
69g. That is about the size of two light bulbs. The shape of the mouse is
different from other Razer mouse in the market. Razer is known for gaming
products and its gaming mouse has prominent contours on the body. This design
looks more like an ordinary mouse.
The Razer Viper doesn’t use the common Omron
micro-motion, but is equipped with its own new, high-performance optical
micro-motion known as PAW 3390 optical sensor, which has a life expectancy up
to 70 million times. Razer says that its optical switch responds faster and is
more reliable than similar physical micro-motions.
The Viper Thunderbolt sets 6 default DPIs, which are
400, 800, 1200, 1800, 2400 and 3200. It can also be set to 16000 DPI. In
addition, the mouse is also equipped with a Razer Speedflex ultra-flexible
cable. The cable is as light as the mouse, and its smooth texture helps prevent
obstacles when the mouse slides. It is especially useful if you use low DPI
settings and really like to make large and wide arm movements (such as CS: GO
players) when you play. Of course, the mouse is also equipped with RGB LEDs just
like other Razer mouse.
As for the price, the Razer Viper is priced at US$ 79.99. Availability details are unknown at the moment.
