Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition, the epitome of gaming mouse technology. Built as a result of years of meticulous craftsmanship and engineering, the Viper Mini Signature Edition is an ultra-high-end, hyper-lightweight wireless performance gaming mouse that is turbocharged with Razer's best-in-class technologies.

Engineered for the gamers that dare to want it all, the Viper Mini Signature Edition is the pinnacle of gaming mouse performance. Weighing an astonishing 49 grams, gamers can experience true perfection with a master-grade gaming peripheral packed with our best-in-class technologies, all in one perfect form.




Hyper-Lightweight at just 49 g
"We set out to create the best lightweight performance gaming mouse," said Barrie Ooi, Head of Razer's PC Gaming Division. "We went beyond our usual design process to look at material selection and alternate industrial designs to create an ultra-durable magnesium alloy exoskeleton chassis in the fan-favorite Viper Mini shape. As a result, the Viper Mini Signature Edition is just 49 grams light with no compromises, making it our lightest mouse ever."

The use of magnesium alloy and injection-molding techniques enabled significant weight reduction in the mouse without compromising on durability, while still allowing for a comfortable grip in the popular Viper Mini design. These choices enabled the Viper Mini Signature Edition to remain hyper-lightweight at just 49 grams while still delivering world-class performance.

Magnesium Alloy Exoskeleton
Crafted from high-grade magnesium alloy, the Viper Mini Signature Edition features an exceptional weight-to-strength ratio, owing to a new intricate, ultra-durable design created using an injection molding technique.

"The Viper Mini Signature Edition represents the most ambitious design and engineering project we've ever undertaken," said Charlie Bolton, Head of Industrial Design at Razer. "We wanted to push beyond the traditional honeycomb design and this required a material with an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio. After evaluating plastics, carbon fiber, and even titanium, we ultimately chose magnesium alloy for its exceptional properties."
Each unit of the Viper Mini Signature Edition is created with an injection-molded exoskeleton that is then CNC machined, and polished. The exoskeleton shell then undergoes passivation to reduce any susceptibility to corrosion, after which it is painted and assembled. At each step, each unit is meticulously inspected to uphold only the highest quality.

Industry-Leading Performance
Armed with the latest innovations, the Viper Mini Signature Edition is a high-end mouse that holds nothing back.
Boasting the Razer Focus Pro 30K Optical Sensor, Razer Optical Mouse Switches Gen-3, and HyperPolling Wireless with true 4000 Hz wireless polling rates, the Viper Mini Signature Edition features the fastest wireless gaming technology from Razer for higher speeds and stable performance. In addition, the Viper Mini Signature Edition can fully charge in under 90 minutes thanks to a 2C charging rate, which is four times the peak charging capacity of most other wireless mice.

The Viper Mini Signature Edition comes with a pre-paired Razer HyperPolling Wireless Dongle, a set of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 Mouse Feet, micro-fiber cleaning cloth, 2 Razer Mouse Grip Tape sets, and 2 alcohol prep pads. As an added benefit, the Viper Mini Signature Edition also includes a 3 year extended warranty.

The Viper Mini Signature Edition is the ultimate choice for gamers who demand a hyper-lightweight high-performance gaming mouse that does not compromise on performance or features, making it Razer's best gaming mouse ever.

2 in 1 product. Make it fancy looking while you cut the cost down. :laugh:
 
TBH all they needed to do was take the existing Viper Mini and just make it wireless. LOL

EDIT: Alternatively, take the same shape/body of the existing Viper Mini, make it magnesium, USB-C & wireless.
 
Is this going to kick off a super alloy arms race among gaming mice? We'll start seeing mice made from Inconel, Titanium Aluminide, etc.....I wouldn't be surprised
 
When it dies, you can throw it in the fire for some entertainment.
 
280 USD is a bit steep for a mouse if you ask me, no matter how good it is

Yeah I agree but it's the best so they can charge what they like.

You can have the same tech inside a Viper V2 Pro for half the cost, but it's not as sexy or as light.

Quite surprised they don't have a mercury white version, magnesium and white coating goes really well.
 
Sexy af and you can see it`s intimate parts.
Awesome :cool:
 
They're going to release a cheaper plastic version but I don't expect it to be anywhere near $100...
 
I liked the shape of the viper, the viper-mini was too small.
Irrelevant to me though, as I cannot stand their software and refuse to touch Razer products for other reasons.

Is pure Bollocks., so a good chunk of what they were willing to put in to mouse quality was put in the packaging instead.
 
Gimme transparent aluminum rodentia, or gimme death (for<$50), hehehe :)

Vibranium that’s what I’m holding out for . Need the thanos signature edition
 
Unobtanium FTW...?
 
Razer started smoking dat sweet Finalmeme weed, I see. People have been screaming for a Viper Mini Ultimate for years...but I'm not sure this is what they had in mind. I honestly don't know why Razer felt like they had to turn the chassis into swiss cheese (and in some ways, it's worse because the cut outs are stupid huge) in order to bring the weight down (like the OG Viper Mini wasn't light enough), when they've already proven they can curb weight without resorting to cutting giant sinholes into the chassis with both the DA V3 Pro and Viper V2 Pro.

All I can say is at least it comes with a cleaning cloth. Should have included a little brush too. You'd no doubt be using both on this thing. A lot.
 
I was wondering... if you move it too quickly across your desktop, will it catch fire? :wtf:
 
That is the dumbest design I have ever seen. Imagine you're gaming in the summer and it's hot as hell. The sweat from the palm of your hand drips right through those gaping holes and straight onto the components inside. Game over.

The weight they saved by cutting holes in the shell appears to have been re-applied with vanity/sweat-protection covers for the components inside.
Effectively, the holes don't make it lighter; Razer is just implementing the looks of a skeletal mouse for the deep-wallet trend-victims.

What is this nonsense? It adds weight.
