Wireless esports mice do not get more cross-shopped than Logitech's G Pro X Superlight 2 (October 2023) and Razer's Viper V3 Pro (April 2024). Both are symmetrical, both ship with a 2.4 GHz dongle, both claim around 95 hours of battery, and both launched at about $159. They differ in weight (60 g against 54 g), shape (a safe, flat "potato" against a pronounced hump), software and street price — the older Razer has often been the cheaper of the two, so compare current prices before deciding. We did not test either mouse; this page summarizes what TechRadar, PCWorld, Windows Central and RTINGS reported, plus Amazon owner ratings. One caution up front: both are previous-generation designs, and RTINGS's popular list now features newer successors (the Razer Viper V4 Pro and Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike), which is one reason older models tend to be discounted.

Specs for the Logitech changed after launch: the reviews we read tested 2,000 Hz and 32,000 DPI, while the current Amazon listing advertises up to 8 kHz and 44K DPI, so treat polling and DPI numbers as listing-dependent and confirm on the product page.
Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2: what reviewers say
PCWorld gave it an Editors' Choice badge and called it quick and deadly accurate, praising the upgraded sensor, the 3 g weight cut from the original and the symmetrical body, which its reviewer said helped pointer accuracy in Counter-Strike 2. TechRadar scored it 4.5 out of 5, calling it fast, long-lasting and one of the lightest mice available, with value as the weak spot at 4 out of 5. Both reviewers flag the price and the lack of Bluetooth. TechRadar adds that the zero-additive PTFE feet glide beautifully on mouse pads but feel fiddly on bare desks, that the lower arch is less supportive for palm grippers (wrist fatigue after a couple of hours), and that the Powercore charging puck is not included. PCWorld thought the scroll wheel felt a little flimsy. RTINGS, per its published review summary, credits the build quality, a comfortable symmetrical shape for nearly all hand sizes and very low click latency, and notes the wheel lacks left-right tilt and a free-scroll mode.

Razer Viper V3 Pro: what reviewers say
TechRadar's Lewis Maddison recommended the Viper V3 Pro and scored it 4 out of 5, praising its precision, build quality and customization (value scored 3 out of 5, performance 5), but called out the divisive hump shape, drag when using the thick cable in wired mode and the price. Windows Central's Zachary Boddy called it one of the best gaming mice you can buy, with performance he described as impeccable and feet that glide smoothly on any surface, while saying it is not the most comfortable symmetrical mouse he has used and noting occasional brief stutters shortly after connecting and a slightly slow wake from sleep. He notes that Razer includes the 8,000 Hz HyperPolling dongle in the box, which he valued at $30, that wired polling is limited to 1,000 Hz, and that the DPI button moved to the underside where it shares duty with the power switch, which made the profile change when he powered the mouse on or off. RTINGS, per its published summary, praises excellent raw performance, 8,000 Hz polling and very low, consistent click latency.
What reviewers liked
- Very light at 54 g with large, smooth feet (TechRadar, Windows Central)
- Top-tier sensor and 8,000 Hz wireless polling with dongle included (Windows Central, TechRadar)
- Deep customization in Razer Synapse (TechRadar)
- Solid battery performance at 1,000 Hz and fast charging (TechRadar)
What reviewers flagged
- Pronounced hump divides opinion; not every palm fits it (TechRadar, Windows Central)
- Wired mode drags and is capped at 1,000 Hz (TechRadar, Windows Central)
- Launch price steep; value scored 3/5 (TechRadar)
- Occasional stutter or slow wake after connecting (Windows Central); no Bluetooth
Head to head
Shape and comfort. This is the biggest real-world divide in the reviews. Logitech kept the Superlight shape that fits nearly any grip; Razer's hump suited some hands and forced a curled grip for TechRadar's reviewer. If you have not held either, the Logitech is the lower-risk shape. Weight and feel. Razer is 6 g lighter and reviewers praised its large PTFE feet; the Logitech is already ultralight, and PCWorld said it felt almost effortless to move. Performance. Both are described as top-tier for FPS play. Windows Central calls the Viper the best-performing wireless mouse it has used, while PCWorld calls the Logitech as accurate and fast as pro mice come, and the spec differences (35K vs 32K to 44K DPI, 8 kHz polling) are numbers most players will not use. Software. TechRadar highlights how deep Synapse customization goes; PCWorld likes G Hub's sensor calibration and lift-off controls. Price. At launch they were a wash; on the listings we checked, the Razer was about $44 cheaper, with a slightly higher owner rating (4.6 vs 4.5).
Which should you buy?
Choose the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 if you want the safest, most universally comfortable shape, you value its PCWorld Editors' Choice track record, or you are upgrading from a Superlight and want the familiar feel. Choose the Razer Viper V3 Pro if you want the lightest option, 8 kHz polling with the dongle included, deep software customization, or simply the lower price on the day you buy, and you are comfortable with a more pronounced hump. If budget matters more than either, see our budget-versus-premium mouse guide linked below.
Our take, based on the roundup
There is no wrong answer here, and the sources agree: both are elite wireless FPS mice. Our read is that shape should decide it, because the performance gap in the reviews is smaller than the shape gap. If you can try them, pick whichever feels right in your hand. If you cannot, the Logitech is the safer bet for most grips and the Razer is the better deal on the listings we checked, provided its hump suits you. Scores (Logitech 8.8, Razer 8.6) are our own synthesis of the sources below, not lab measurements.
