Razer, a leading brand in gaming and PC peripherals, has announced its lightest wireless gaming mouse to date, the Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition.
Razer continues to raise the bar in gaming peripherals and this Thursday they unveiled the lightest PC mouse in their catalog, the Razer Viper Mini Signature Edition, an ultra-durable magnesium alloy exoskeleton wireless gaming mouse which is a whopping low 49 grams. The super lightweight is about the equivalent of 2 AA batteries.
Barrie Ooi, head of Razer’s PC gaming division, said: “We wanted to make the best lightweight gaming mouse,” with “We went beyond our usual design process to look at material selection and alternative industrial designs to create an ultra-durable magnesium aluminum exoskeleton chassis in the fan-favorite Viper Mini shape. As a result, the Viper Mini Signature Edition weighs just 49 grams with no compromises, making it our lightest mouse ever,” regarding the lightweight nature of the Razer Viper Mini, while promising that the only thing that cuts the mouse is the weight, as it is packed with features.
Razer’s Head of Industrial Design, Charlie Bolton, also applauds the exoskeleton design: “We wanted to go beyond traditional honeycomb design and this required a material with an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. After evaluating plastics, carbon fiber and even titanium, we finally chose a magnesium alloy because of its exceptional properties.”
