My new gaming mouse is now $20 cheaper in the October Prime Day sale than when I bought it last mont

Razer Viper Ultimate with Charging Dock | Wireless | Ambidextrous | 20K sensor |
The Viper Ultimate is a grown up gamer's mouse. The design isn't too flashy (though it still does have some RGB), it's ambidextrous, and it's got a blessedly silent scroll wheel. That 20K DPI may no longer be top-of-the-line, but look, I'm no FPS player, personally. This thing gives me lots of battery life, a few programmable buttons, and a nice small charging dock that doesn't ruin the cord-free desk aesthetic I've been trying to cultivate.
Price check:
I've been in the market for a new gaming mouse for a while now and last month I finally picked [[link]] one: the Razer Viper Ultimate. Not to go all influencer on you ("sorry to everyone who bought the viral gaming mouse before it went on sale because—" etc.) but I grabbed mine on what I thought was a pretty good sale for $95 back in September and it's now $20 cheaper.
- We're curating the right here.
PCG's hardware nuts swear by the wireless Logitech G Pro X Superlight right now (which is ) but I tried it out first and found it just slightly too large for comfort in my hand. I wasn't willing to go all the way down to a compact mouse, so the Viper Ultimate wound up being the Goldilocks mouse for my hand size.
The Viper Ultimate has fallen off our list of the , but only because it's a few years old now and there's newer stuff. We rated it an 89% back in our 2019 and said "it's light, ambidextrous, feels good in [[link]] the hand, and tracks your movements as well as a wired [[link]] unit."
I'll leave the real hardware details to the experts in that review and instead tell you the lifestyle stuff. I wanted to get away from the cheese grater I'd been using for a couple years to get something a little more understated and get back to the wireless lifestyle.
The Viper Ultimate has the design restraint I need in a mouse at my big age. Yeah it's still got an RGB Razer logo on it but you can turn that off in the Razer Synapse app—I did. And speaking of being demure, I'm very thankful to finally have a mouse whose scroll wheel isn't extremely audible while I'm looking things up in the middle of a recording. Silence is golden.
The last bit I'll gush about is the charging stand. Last time I had a wireless mouse it was the Steelseries Sensei Wireless that came with a rather big charging base. The Viper Ultimate has a very small little dock with two contact points that's way more in line with the desk real estate I'm willing to allot. It's also got a bit of RGB at the bottom of the base to subtly clue you in on your mouse battery life without having to open the Synapse app to check it.
You can't tell me that doesn't look cute and clean.

The mobile interface is smooth and intuitive. I can play all my favorite slots on the go without experiencing any lag or glitches. The design is responsive and user-friendly, which makes gaming on my phone just as enjoyable as on my computer.

I love the overall aesthetic of the platform. The animations, visual effects, and sound design make the gaming experience more dynamic and immersive. It's one of the reasons I keep coming back. I really enjoy playing the slot games here. The variety is amazing, from classic reels to modern video slots with interactive bonus rounds.

Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further. I appreciate the themed slot games, especially those based on movies and TV shows. They make the gaming experience more engaging and immersive. The combination of storyline, visuals, and bonus features makes each game feel unique. The promotions and bonuses offered are very generous.
