Razer’s subsequent flagship gaming mouse may need simply been noticed on the latest VCT Americas Valorant event. BBL member Rose was seen utilizing a mysterious camouflaged mouse, and it seemed suspiciously like a brand new Razer Viper V4 Professional.
Razer has pulled such a transfer earlier than, with us recognizing the Razer Deathadder V4 Professional getting used overtly in tournaments months earlier than the its official launch. That mouse went on to be among the best gaming mouse choices of final yr, and I think the Viper will stand probability of incomes related honors.
The brand new mannequin was noticed by mouse fanatic Wasabi (@wasabifriedrice on X), who posted three pictures of the mouse together with the phrases “Ooo new Razer Viper V4 Professional?”
Within the first two of those pictures, we will see the entrance face of the mouse, which seems to be similar to that of the Viper V3 Professional, with its symmetrical form standing in distinction to the ‘ergonomic’ form of the Deathadder V4 Professional that was noticed in earlier leaks. You’ll be able to’t make out the camouflage all that clearly, but it surely seems to be similar to the type used to camouflage the Deathadder V4 Professional – you possibly can see that leaked picture on the backside of this web page.
In the meantime, within the third picture, we will see that the mouse makes use of a camouflaged wi-fi dongle that appears similar to the brand new one used within the Deathadder V4 Professional. This massive, weighted puck provided an 8kHz polling charge over wi-fi for the Deathadder, so we would anticipate related capabilities from the Viper V4 Professional.
By way of different specs, we will not discern anything from these pictures, however I would anticipate the mouse to supply near-identical core talents to the Deathadder V4 Professional, together with utilizing Razer’s Focus Professional 45K Optical Sensor Gen-2, which boasts a DPI vary of 50-45,000, and for the mouse to make use of Razer’s Optical Mouse Switches Gen-4.
I would additionally anticipate this mannequin to come back in barely lighter than the 54g of the Viper V3 Professional, although Razer hasn’t gone too excessive with weight-saving on its latest mice, so I would be stunned if the Viper V4 Professional weight was a lot under 50g.
As for the Viper V4 Professional value and launch date, I can solely speculate, however the lead time between the Deathadder V4 Professional being noticed in tournaments and being launched was round three months, so an April launch is perhaps on the playing cards. In the meantime, the Deathadder V4 Professional value was $169.99 at launch, and I would anticipate the Viper V4 Professional value to be related.
