Razer has announced a new high-end wireless gaming mouse, known as the Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition.
The Viper Mini Signature Edition is a high-end, lightweight gaming mouse created by Razer. It weighs only 49 grams and is equipped with the best-in-class technologies from Razer. The mouse is designed for gamers who want the best gaming experience and is the pinnacle of performance in the gaming mouse market. The design process involved exploring new materials to achieve the lightweight and high-performance qualities desired.
“We set out to create the best lightweight performance gaming mouse. We went beyond our usual design process to look at material
selection and alternate industrial designs to create an ultra-durable magnesium alloy

exoskeleton chassis in the fan-favorite Viper Mini shape. As a result, the Viper Mini Signature
Edition is just 49 grams light with no compromises, making it our lightest mouse ever.”
The use of magnesium alloy and injection-molding techniques enabled significant weight reduction in the mouse without compromising on durability, while still allowing for a comfortable grip in the popular Viper Mini design. These choices enabled the Viper Mini Signature Edition to remain hyper-lightweight at just 49 grams while still delivering world-class performance.
Design
Crafted from high-grade magnesium alloy, the Viper Mini Signature Edition features an exceptional weight-to-strength ratio, owing to a new intricate, ultra-durable design created using an injection molding technique.
“The Viper Mini Signature Edition represents the most ambitious design and engineering project we’ve ever undertaken, We wanted to push beyond the traditional honeycomb design and this required a material with an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio. After evaluating plastics, carbon fiber, and even titanium, we ultimately chose magnesium alloy for its exceptional properties.”
Charlie Bolton, Head of Industrial Design at Razer.
Each unit of the Viper Mini Signature Edition is created with an injection-molded exoskeleton that is then CNC machined, and polished. The exoskeleton shell then undergoes passivation to reduce any susceptibility to corrosion, after which it is painted and assembled. At each step, each unit is meticulously inspected to uphold only the highest quality.
Performance
Armed with the latest innovations, the Viper Mini Signature Edition is a high-end mouse that holds nothing back.
Boasting the Razer™ Focus Pro 30K Optical Sensor, Razer™ Optical Mouse Switches Gen-3, and HyperPolling Wireless with true 4000 Hz wireless polling rates, the Viper Mini Signature Edition features the fastest wireless gaming technology from Razer for higher speeds and stable performance.
In addition, the Viper Mini Signature Edition can fully charge in under 90 minutes thanks to a 2C charging rate, which is four times the peak charging capacity of most other wireless mice.
The Viper Mini Signature Edition comes with a pre-paired Razer HyperPolling Wireless Dongle, a set of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 Mouse Feet, micro-fiber cleaning cloth, 2 Razer Mouse Grip Tape sets, and 2 alcohol prep pads. As an added benefit, the Viper Mini Signature Edition also includes a 3 year extended warranty.
