Graphical Vs Comparison

Wow! The Monkeys 🐒 learnt to make Graphs!

Graphs Description The Physical Characteristics comparison is just a viewable representation of the devices' length, width, height and weight. Sensor, Latency and Other Features are, instead, computed within the range 0-->100, taking into account if the variable is getting better with the increase of its value (e.g the highest max DPI, the better it is) or vice versa (the lowest Click Latency, the better); for example, a score of 50 for both devices means they are equal, scores of 70 and 30 mean that first one better. So, the data are homogeneous to provide immediate meaning, higher bar(s) means better value(s). An empty graph means that there is not enough data to compute that comparison (one value or both are missing).

Final Vs Words

Aiding our visitors to the final choice between the mice.

This final paragraph will help you in the decision making process, between Razer Viper V2 Pro and Gigabyte M6980X, and in selecting the mouse that is performing better and best suits your needs. We are aware that every user has own needs and preferences, due to this each mouse could be better for some features and worse for other ones. The purpose of the text is to highlight this possibility and generate an "overall score" for a purchase decision.

First of all, both mice share the same utilization aim, Gaming mouse. The first one is younger, 2 years old, being released in the 2022, while M6980X is older, 11 years old, being released in the 2013. The production age difference is 9 year(s). This makes the Viper V2 Pro kind of more attractive in terms of freshness.

• Dimensions, Weight, Ergonomy 📐⚖️🫳

When it comes to evaluate mice dimensions, you should take into consideration the size of your hand and check if it would properly fit it or not. In this case, you should check which mice would be the fittest. Compared to M6980X mouse, Viper V2 Pro is ~2.00 mm (or ~0.08 in) Longer, ~11.40 mm (or ~0.45 in) Narrower and ~4.00 mm (or ~0.16 in) Lower, which makes it, overally, 13.4 mm (or -0.53 in) moderately smaller and better suiting tinier hands.

Considering the weight, Razer Viper V2 Pro is 45% lighter, a difference of 48.00 g (0.11 lbs), which can be considered very significant. We do not express a particular preference for heavier or lighter mice, being this a completely personal objective preference. Anyway, both mice does not offer weight personalization .

Regarding the Ergonomy, both mice are meant to be used with your right hand. They offer different grip, Palm grip, Claw grip by Viper V2 Pro while M6980X has Palm grip; the first one can be considered more adaptable, with a greater number of grip possibilities equal to 2 instead of the 1 offered by the other one.

• Sensor and Latencies 🐭⏱️

Let's now compare Razer Viper V2 Pro sensor with the one of Gigabyte M6980X. The two mice do not share the same sensor technology, that is Optical for the first one, Laser for the second one; they also have different sensor model: Focus Pro 30K equipped by Viper V2 Pro and ADNS9500 used by M6980X. It is very important to say that, although tech and model sometimes coincide, the assembly and composition of interior circuits might result in different specs and latencies.

Resolution, Max Acceleration and Max Tracking, Polling Rate and Lift Off
The mice offer different resolution range (DPImax - DPImin), the Viper V2 Pro provides 29900 DPI/CPI, while M6980X offers 4800 DPI/CPI, meaning that the first one has way larger range. Consider picking up the sensitivity range that mostly suits your needs, depending on the aim (Gaming/Business) but also the kind of game you are going to use it mostly (e.g. FPS is different than RTS or MOBA). If you need a higher precision mouse, meaning that for the same length of shift the mouse will recognize more movement, "reading" more dots per inch and, in other words, will move faster on the screen, Viper V2 Pro is offering 81% better Max Resolution, 24400 More DPI/CPI.

As for the Maximum Acceleration, which measures the maximum pull force in G(s) that the sensor can trace before inconsistencies occur, Viper V2 Pro shows a better value, 70 G, a great difference of 40 G. Going on, taking into account the Maximum Tracking Speed, the velocity (inches per second) that the mouse can move at before it starts to loose track and cause anomalies, Viper V2 Pro shows a preferable value, 750 IPS, a great difference of 600 IPS. Take into account that max G and max IPS mostly affect activities requiring very fast mouse shift, together with the shift latency that we will analyse further in this section.

Viper V2 Pro has a Polling Rate of 8000 Hz, in other words it reports data to computer 1 time every 0.13 ms, while M6980X is characterized by 1000 Hz or an input every 1.00 ms, making this last one having 88% worse Polling Rate. Anyway, Viper V2 Pro offers adjustable lift off distance through software.

Click and Shift Latencies

At the moment there is no available data to compare the mice click latency, since the data of M6980X is missing. We apologize for the inconvenience, you can request priority data update through the contact page. However, Viper V2 Pro has a click latency of 11.3 ms which can be considered above the average, compared to a medium quality mouse. Anyway, we feel it is important to underline that the differences in latencies are often more perceptible from the machine's point of view rather than human's, reducing the real impact of these values and deviations. At the moment there is no available data to compare Viper V2 Pro and M6980X shift latency. Contact us to request priority data update.

• Other Features 📎

Let's now have a look, finally, to the general features of the two mice. They are equipped with different Switch Technology, Viper V2 Pro has Optical Switches 3rd Gen while M6980X has Omron; moreover, the Switch lifespan of first mouse is 90 millions clicks while the second is 5 millions clicks, 94% better Lifespan, a difference of 85 millions clicks that can be evaluated very significant. The Feet Material is better for Viper V2 Pro, being this Virgin Grade PTFE. Considering the available Number of Buttons, 6 offered by first mouse and 7 offered by the second one, a small difference of 1 that can be considered important or not depending on the utilization purpose. In the end, the features offered by Razer Viper V2 Pro are On board Memory, DPI Indicator, while Gigabyte M6980X is giving DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting.
