If you prefer a mouse that glides across a mousepad—or a glass surface, in this case—with minimal effort, finding a lightweight, cordless one is a good move. Lightweight mice are often LED-laden or hole-riddled pieces that look odd in most settings outside of a gaming den. But Razer's Viper V2 Pro announced Tuesday is a 2.05-ounce (58 g) wireless mouse carrying a muted look that can accommodate more traditional-looking setups.

Razer is primarily known for flashy, snake-clad PCs and peripherals aimed at gamers. The Viper 2 Pro, with an optical sensor that supports an adjustable DPI (dots per inch, see more in our PC mouse terms article) of up to 30,000 and extreme features like adjustable liftoff distance, is also aimed at PC gamers. But with its muted black or tasteful white design and symmetrical shape, you might not notice it at first. Although, spotting the angular lines under the left and right-click buttons and the subtler three-headed snake might provide clues.

Still, there's no RGB logo, and that took 0.1 ounces (2.7 g) off the mouse's weight compared to its predecessor, the 2.61-ounce (74 g) Razer Viper Ultimate, and will also help conserve battery life. The only real pop of color is the light south of the scroll wheel, which signifies which DPI setting you're currently using.
