I just can't get over the stupid Razer Synapse bloatware.
@semtexxxl1 on YouTube
the sensor position is too centered (makes wrist recoil control unreliable) and the button grooves are too deep

Wish Razer opticals weren't trash.

since I got the mouse about 3 months ago it has inconsistent mouse tracking, often freezing for a half second to a second, rendering the mouse pretty useless for the purpose I bought it.

Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.

I got that viper for even less, but it was from 2024 instead of 2025. The difference is immense. 2025 has better scroll and buttons implementation, something nobody will tell you about without the first hand experience.

yes it is still 1khz and the new cable is stiffer than the old ones, so I don't think it is any good for playing wired...

i had this same issue at first. I want to pull them out! But I found its not too bad if you learn to hold it correctly.

Compared to the Viper the clicks were noticeably faster but also DAv4's clicks were noticeably faster to.
Never_Left_Hometown on r/MouseReview
it works better on 8k polling which I don't like using. I tried high lift off and it helped too but it felt like mouse was picking random movement at times, for example when repositioning my mouse on the mousepad. It's not THAT bad but it's not optimal to have it as an issue.

both of these mice have stiff cables, usable but imo a bit difficult to play with.
