Description
The Razer Viper V3 Pro Counter-Strike 2 Edition represents the pinnacle of competitive peripheral engineering, designed in collaboration with top-tier esports professionals. This specialized edition combines the iconic aesthetics of CS2 with Razer's most advanced internal hardware, focusing on a weight-to-performance ratio that allows for near-instantaneous flick shots and sustained tracking accuracy. By stripping away non-essential features like RGB lighting, Razer has achieved a remarkable 54-gram form factor that feels like an extension of the hand, ensuring that physical fatigue never interferes with a match-winning play.

- Users with high-refresh-rate monitors (240Hz+) who can benefit from the smoothness of 8,000 Hz polling.
- Right-handed gamers utilizing claw or fingertip grip styles who prioritize a symmetrical ergonomic feel.

In actual gameplay, the Viper V3 Pro CS2 Edition delivers an exceptionally smooth experience thanks to its 100% PTFE feet and the high-polling rate capabilities. The Gen-3 Optical Switches provide a tactile, crisp click that eliminates double-clicking issues and offers a lightning-fast 0.2ms response time. The smooth-touch finish provides a secure grip even during intense, sweaty sessions, while the 8,000 Hz HyperPolling technology ensures that the cursor position is updated eight times more frequently than standard gaming mice, resulting in micro-adjustments that feel fluid and instantaneous on screen.
Compared to its predecessors and the standard Viper V3, the Pro CS2 Edition focuses heavily on weight reduction and sensor precision. While the standard V3 might offer longer battery life at lower polling rates, the Pro version is optimized for the highest possible ceiling of performance. The transition from the Focus Pro 30K to the 35K Gen-2 sensor allows for finer DPI adjustments and better tracking on a wider variety of surfaces, including glass. Unlike many competitors that require a separate purchase for high-polling dongles, this edition includes the HyperPolling Wireless Dongle in the box, providing immediate access to professional-grade specs.
How long does the battery last when using the 8,000 Hz polling rate? At the maximum 8,000 Hz setting, the battery lasts approximately 17 hours; however, it can reach up to 95 hours when set to the standard 1,000 Hz polling rate.
Is the Razer Viper V3 Pro CS2 Edition suitable for left-handed users? While the mouse features a symmetrical shape, the side buttons are located on the left side only, making it optimized specifically for right-handed users.
What are the benefits of the Focus Pro 35K Gen-2 sensor? This sensor provides 99.8% resolution accuracy and intelligent functions like Smart Tracking, Motion Sync, and Asymmetric Cut-off to maintain consistent tracking across different surfaces.
Does this mouse include the 8K Hz dongle? Yes, the Razer HyperPolling Wireless Dongle is included in the package, allowing the mouse to reach true 8,000 Hz wireless polling out of the box.
