Though computer mice are a dime a dozen, that does not mean you have to settle for a bad one; especially if you're a gamer. To maximize their gaming experience, gamers need a mouse that's accurate, responsive, and not to mention comfortable. Keeping that in mind, here is the latest gaming mouse from Razer, the Viper.

Packaging:

I received the Viper for review before it was for sale; therefore, it did not arrive in its retail package. My review unit includes the Viper enclosed in a bubble wrap bag inside the LAN-pak, which will be discussed towards the end. Also included with the viper are a driver CD, a postcard introducing the Viper, and a list of its features.

The Viper is made of dark red transparent plastic with the top half smooth and the bottom textured. Non-slip side rails, a strip of clear rubber, are on left and right side.

Taking up more than half of the top of the mouse are two ultra large Non-slip black buttons. These buttons have a velvet texture that feels awesome. Although, I feel the texture will wear over time. Between the two buttons exists a white, semi-transparent, standard size scroll wheel.

The bottom of the mouse has three round Teflon feet: two at the front and one at the back. Towards the middle is an oval hole where the optical sensor sees through. The Viper mouse uses standard red LEDs to illuminate the optical sensor’s view. This red glow can be seen through the mouse’s transparent body.

A black USB cord runs out the front and is a lengthy seven feet. It ends with a gold plated USB plug. Since USB transmits data and electricity thorough the four pins, the USB plug’s outer gold plated frame will minimize chances of corrosion. It also looks really cool.

From the side view, the Viper resembles its namesake's head. Designed symmetrical down the middle, it can be comfortably used with both the left and right hand.
