The Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition is one of the priciest, but also one of the most feature-rich gaming mice that we’ve seen, so we’ve gathered everything you need to know, including its price, specifications and where to buy one of your own.
Razer, known for its massive array of beloved PC peripherals, has launched the Viper Mini Signature Edition. The Viper Mini saw massive praise when it was released three years ago. Its lightweight design, excellent sensor, and customization options all made it a near-perfect all-in-one mouse for any situation.
So what does the Signature Edition bring to the table, that the regular Viper Mini didn’t have?

Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition specs
Outside of the housing being a new, webbed design, Razer has decided to upgrade the internals to best match the stiff competition within the world of mice.
Inside now, there’s a 30, 000 DPI sensor, and it is now wireless. Those who like a wired mouse will still be able to connect it via USB-C to their PC.
Razer is pinning the battery life at around an average of 60 hours, depending on the usage.

The major feature here is its extraordinarily minimal weight. Using the new carbon magnesium alloy chassis, Razer has managed to cut off a whopping 12 grams from its overall weight. Now at 49 grams, the only real competitors in this weight range are Cooler Master.

How much will the Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition be?
The Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition retails for $279.99. Obviously with it being a limited edition device and, as you’ll read below, being treated as a ‘drop‘, is probably reason enough for the price.
Where to buy
Currently, the Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition is only available in Razer store. For limited editions like this, don’t expect to see it anywhere else – except eBay. If this version of the Viper Mini is successful in any capacity, we’d suspect a non-Signature Edition would be released later down the line.
They’re treating it as a ‘drop’ and will be available starting February 11, at 8 pm PT.
