I am using the Razer Viper Mini with the Razer Bungee V2 and Logitech G305. I swap on both from time to time and Viper Mini is amazing. I am enjoying both of my gaming mice. :) great budget gaming mice review man.
Literally bro keep up the grind and I promise you’ll blow up. Quality like this will not go un noticed. You make better videos that some people with millions of subs. Subscribed, very professional 👍
For a mechanical switch, if you don't experience double-clicks, it's because you have not used the mouse long enough. The switch deteriorates over time and it's just the nature of it. Optical switch has not yet been proven but it's at least a step in the right direction, I think xD
tips for people planning on getting the rival 3: it isnt good for butterfly clicking because of the edges, and the side buttons are actually pretty easy to click (with my small/medium size hands). id recommend it if you're doing fingertip or claw grip, or jitter clicking. it does double click and drag clicks pretty good (17-25 cps for me). theres no problems with the sensor either, but i would NOT recommend it for butterfly clicking. get the g203 instead if you are going to butterfly click.
@@CalebThornton I have been using the g203 and i love it but the scroll wheel became very slow and hard to click after a year of usage. Compared to the Steelseries Rival 3 it has double the amount of lift of distance, so i wonder if thats also important if you want to be very accurate in shooter games
Here in Brazil, the options price float a lot of one to another, beeing the g203 R$110,00 and the Viper mini R$399,00 so here the quality between them being different don't affect as much the price
I've been using an A4Tech X-710BK for like 6 years, because I loved the shape and weight. I've bought a Hama uRage Reaper 500, but it was too light, and the shape wasn't really good for me also the middle mouse button was goddamn tough to use, so I'm gonna return and change it to the Rival 3. By specs it's pretty the same size and shape, but the A4Tech was almost 200g-s, which is a lot compared to the Rival 3, so I hope it wont bother me that much. Also the A4Tech's cable wasn't rubber which made the mouse pretty steady with it's weight also.
I think I know what it is so heavy. I had one A4tech mouse ages ago, and when it died and I opened it I found a quite hefty piece of weight in it. they seem to make them crazy heavy on purpose it seems.
I've had my g203 lightsync for a little over 2 years now and its been a great mouse for just $30 CAD. Probably a year after buying it, the left mouse button started grinding against another part of the mouse if you pressed it at a certain point really hard. it wasn't really an issue though since I almost never clicked it in that spot. A few months ago though, one of the mouse feet started peeling off and has since come completely off. Turns out the feet on the mouse are actually some sort of slick paper just glued onto the bottom of the mouse. It still works fine and I haven't noticed any difference in how it feels since it came off, but a few weeks ago another one of the mouse feet started peeling off and about 1/3 of that foot is just gone. The plastic has also started to shine on the back of the mouse where part of my palm rests during use. Never had any double clicking issues with the mouse though and overall I am extremely happy with it. Gonna be buying a viper mini soon to replace the g203 since I'm not sure how much longer the rest of the feet will last and I feel that even though 1 foot being gone didn't matter much, 2 or 3 probably will.
I know this video is older, but just a tip, don't slam the mouse buttons when testing click sound because nobody uses them that way, rest your finger on the mouse button and then click it.
Viper Mini offers more for it's price. Optical Switch, 3359 based sensor and a better wire. Rival 3 has better ergonomics tho but the sensor is based in 3331 pixart.
Hi Caleb! I am writing from Italy. I recently bought a Logitech G203 Litghtsync but the right button seems much more sensitive if compared with the left one: sometimes i have unintentionally right-clicks. I bought it on Amazon and I can decide to return it backs. I have one question for you: should I consider to take back money and buy a SteelSeries Rival 3? Is it worth it? Can you suggest me another mouse for small hands (more or less the same size of G203) in the same range of price? Consider that I am a programmer so I use the mouse a lot of hours during the day and what I am looking for is a lightweight mouse. I play MOBA games too. Thank you, sorry for my english!
The Viper Mini and Rival 3 are both good options as well. The HyperX Pulsefire Haste which I recently reviewed is also a great value mouse, you might want to watch that video.
Great comparison! Had the G203 ('G102' in our country) and it unfortunately developed double clicking after a year of use, but it was indeed a great mouse as it also got me enthusiastic about gaming mice. Currently rocking a Viper Mini as my G603 is being replaced; done with Logitech mice for now because of the double clicking...
Hey! I just got a Viper mini because my G203 (called G102 in my region) developed double click issues. This video was really informative thank you. Great quality and to the point. As a side note I don't know if it is region specific or not but all 4 of my friends who owned a G203 got double click issues, but since that mouse can be bought for under $20 here its a steal compared to the Viper mini which goes for ~55-65 USD.
@@CalebThornton I'm really worried about the G203 Lightsync double-clicking... Is it rare to double click or does it double click when you do something to it? Please help.. :(
I have g102, now giving double click issue. I want to buy new mouse but I really like the GShift feature and onboard memory logitech mouse has. Like clicking side buttons while pressing dpi changes volume. Are these features available on razer and steel series? Not talking about the macros.
I have the G102 cuz I went on the cheapest possible variant (is legit the most inexpensive true gaming mouse). However, I would say that the Steel Series Rival 3 and the Razer Viper Mini are better options (which are 10 euros more expensive, but it would be worth it).
For me with bigger hands I prefer the normal viper. If you love a claw grip you should look at the Burst Pro it has a great shape, just not a big fan of the titan optical switches.
Great Russia's prices here Logitech G203(G102 local) - 25$. We are buying it here as "office mouse". SS RIval 3 - 50$. Solid entry-gaming mouse. Razer Viper Mini - 35$ from Aliexpress. Cool mouse for low price.
Hey man can u help me out ? My hands are 17cm in length and they are categorized as small and i basically palm grip I wanna go with viper mini But will this be confortable for me?
@@DavidCriketGD Are they similar in shape? I had quite a few share of gaming mice, and the ones I liked the most in terms of shape were g203 and abyssus 2014. They have quite some issues tho that made me not want to buy them again, last year I decided to buy the Model 0- since the size was similar to the g203 and the abyssus. Model 0- is quite good and I would rank it as the best mouse I´ve gotten till this day in terms of quality, but I still don´t love it in terms of shape, my hands start to get cramps and it slides a bit from my hands. I´ve noticed that Viper Mini has gotten quite the praise as the best mini gaming mouse out there, so I would love to know if it´s shape/hand grip style is like G203/Abyssus, since that´s the only thing stopping me from buying it right now. It´s a shame local stores don´t have this kind of gaming mice, it´s always the expensive, wireless and over the top ones, or else I would give it a try myself
alright so this g203 logitech mouse ruined my game for the last time, i miss clicked when i engaged in a gun fight and hit the sensetive button in the middle and for an hour i tried to disable the button... i then grabbed the scissors and started hacking away at the button another 10 minutes later finally the button is dug out mouse looks abit ugly and feels wierd now but at least that button is gone now!! after downloading logitech and researching how to bring up the damn options to disable the button fmd
I returned my g203 because of weird scroll wheel. It was not precise, sometimes while scrolling down it would go back up by itself (really annoying while bhopping). Now I am wondering if only my unit was defective or all 203s are like this. I might consider rebuying it, but can someone confirm that the scroll wheel works fine?
That sucks! I personally have not noticed that, I actually like the scroll wheel haha. It does seem like Logitech has the more issues between the three companies with things like that though.
@@CalebThornton Thanks for reply. I think i will buy it again then. There is just nothing better in this price range. Rival 3 looks interesting but higher lift off distance worries me.
Ahi le falto agregar al HYPER PULSEFIRE fps PRO y estaria completa el video ya que tienee un precio similar con mejor sensor Pixart PMW3389/ 16 0000 dpi / botones programables / 20 millones de clics
@@Pavluha901 technically essential is bad. but i dont think so. the users of essential no one didn't saying to bad mouse. and im not gonna play video games next year and after this i can use this mouse 2-3 years at least. 2-3 years later technology will change and new mouses will be produced so this mouse can handle with me
@@CalebThornton idk my razer viper mini within 2 weeks the right button just started making really weird creaking noises and catching on something, i think its a problem with the viper mini build.. if u press the button on every edge of the button.. test it by pressing the button while slightly pulling it in outside direction or towards your wrist
I need ur answer please i have g-wolves hati m and razer viper mini when i hold my mouse i make my fingers like spider =claw but without touching my palm on the back of the mouse i need to know whats the name of thats grip?!
I mean if your palm is not touching it at all its probably a fingertip grip. There is so many variations of finger tip and claw though so its hard to say
@@gethobo5185 Not exactly sure what you are getting at. But in a fingertip grip you are usually only holding on with your fingers where as in a claw you have it pulled into the back of your palm. Hence why claw grip mice have a hump towards the back of them
The viper mini is the best by far is has the best sensor and it has the best shape and the best feet. Also the viper mini has a speed flex cable and for the price ur not gonna get better than the viper mini
logitech alwaysgives me doule click when the time it became old. I really sure with that because I experienced it twice with my two mouse. I guess Im gonna give razer a try. S o sad ttey didnt cme with white color that I need.
I didn't own those(I own the MM711 now) when I made this video and didn't want to include them since I had not tested them out. I will make a Mini Mice Showdown in the future though, probably end of next month with more small lightweight or budget mice included.
m700 pmw 3389 still the best under 50 dolars bru,he have the best sensor and the best cabble betwen those mices in the video,just loses to the viper mini in the weight
Strange I have heard of more people having issues with Logitech double clicking than Viper mini having loose clicks. My copy is good, but thanks for info.
