Hello this is the Provoked Prawn and this is a video to compare two super lightweight mice
the Razer Viper v2 Pro and the Logitech G Pro X Superlight both seen here in white and both also
available in black although it's worth knowing that the black version of the v2 Pro is actually
marginally different in terms of weight I've reviewed and unboxed both these mice separately
and I've also compared them with others so I'll link to those videos in the description
but in this one I want to talk to you about the differences between them and show what they're
like side by side at the end of the video I'll also be doing a sound test so you can hear the
differences between the switches and switches is obviously one of the big differences because
the Logitech G Pro X Superlight uses OMRON switches whereas the Razer Viper v2 uses
Razer's optical switches and that's the third generation of optical switches guaranteed up
to 90 million clicks the Razer Viper v2 Pro also looks remarkably similar to the Superlight
when you put them side by side you'll notice for example simple things like the mouse wheel is both
black in the middle and white on the outside they also have a very similar setup in terms of having
two side buttons and a very high DPI sensor so the Superlight for example goes all the way up to
25 600 where the hero sensor whereas the Viper v Pro 2 goes up to 30 000 with a 30k optical sensor
from Razer so they're both comparable in those although the Razer Viper v2 Pro has more specs
packed inside it it packs up to 750 max IPS 70gs acceleration and a number of AI features
designed to help it be more robust in terms of the accuracy and the response that it gives you and to
also be more power efficient the Razer Viper v2 Pro is capable of 80 hours of battery life
whereas the Superlight 70 but you'll see they're both interesting and they're both
nice looking mice they're both understated they both have a good response in terms of
their connectivity with 2.4 gigahertz wireless and also reactive and great to game with the G
Pro X Superlight is much loved and highly thought of by many so it's my opinion that what Razer's
done here is they've tried to take the Viper which is one of their popular mice anyway and
to shed the weight by dropping side buttons and other features like Chroma RGB and other things
in order to make it be very similar to the G Pro X Superlight they did something similar they copied
the g502 lightspeed with a Razer Basilisk Ultimate and I think they've attempted to do it again and
when you put the two white versions of these mice side by side and just look at them you'll see that
they do look very similar obviously the shape is ever so slightly different the specs under
the hood is ever so slightly different as well and I'll include all that in the description
and yes the Viper v2 Pro does have optical switches instead of those classic mechanical
switches so it's theoretically going to last longer and be superior over time
however I've had no problems with my G Pro X Superlight and it is my main mouse when
I'm not using anything else or at least it has been for the majority of the time and therefore
I haven't had any problems with double clicking issues although Razer claims that you should
experience none thanks to its optical switches it has zero double clicking issues and no debounce
delay either and it's guaranteed up to 90 million clicks so in terms of the guarantee it should last
longer however they are both wonderful mice for a number of different reasons they are both
lightweight they are both good looking they're both nice and agile and they're roughly similar
size as you've seen from these comparison shots from side by side they sit similarly in the hand
and they're both a comfortable fit and they're interesting in other ways so one of the ways that
razors shed weight from the Viper lineup with the v2 Pro is to remove the side grips the right hand
side buttons the RGB lighting and other things but what they have done is they've added a textured
matte finish to the Viper v2 Pro so it's easy to hold onto and I found it comfortable to use but it
also comes with some grip tape in the box so grip tape that you can apply to both the main buttons
and either side of the mouse obviously this will add some extra weight but it makes it easier to
hold on to in theory and to grip onto during the gaming session especially if you get hot
sweaty or oily fingers now this means that it sheds some weight down and it is actually the
lighter of the two mice coming in around 59 or 60 grams depending on what scale is using and
the black one is ever so slightly lighter than the white one as well which is worth bearing in mind
if weight is your main concern this is interesting because it means that it's technically
lighter than the G Pro X Superlight which is on paper said to be about 63 grams I found mine to
be marginally lighter as you can see here and this is the black version obviously but the both very
lightweight mice both very slick and both very easy to throw around on the mouse mount and to
move around in a quick way now one of the things you will also notice if you look carefully here
is that the G Pro X Superlight has a micro USB charging cable it too also comes with grip tape so
again a sort of semi matte finish but it has grip tape in the box included so you can add that on if
you want some extra grip and that's an option for both mice so very comparable very similar
they both have a wireless dongle both have an adapter to get it going to your desk and close to
the mouse if necessary which is great for charging purposes and other things but the v2 Pro has USB-C
charging so theoretically easier and perhaps a little bit faster in terms of charging more
convenient and I know a lot of people prefer USB-C to micro USB so there are a number of features and
specs on the Viper v2 Pro which make it superior to the Superlight it's easier to plug in longer
battery life higher specs in terms of acceleration speed DPI and other things and perhaps it's better
in a number of ways but it's also very expensive and the G Pro X Superlight is trusted and loved by
many now I'm going to leave you with a sound test so you can hear the difference between the two
mice and I will finish this off by saying they're both great the G Pro X is my preference out of
the two however technically the Viper v2 Pro is superior specs wise this has been the Provoked
Prawn stick with me to hear the sound differences thanks for watching smash that subscribe button
