Razer has so many mice that I have a hard time believing they could differ enough from eachother to warrant a different model, like say this model vs the death adder wireless.....I'm sure they're differen enough, I just don't get why razer has so many mice .

More shapes are good and subtle changes are exactly what some gamers really want so I wouldn't be so harsh on that aspect. This mouse in particular seems to be a decent budget-ish option with a pretty "average" shape kind of like the G Pro X Superlight, which should have a fairly decent audience I think. Chinese mice like the ones sold on mechkeys have been shaking up this segment pretty good, TPU has reviews of some of them too.
That said, Razer naming schemes are getting out of hand lately and nobody can match which name goes to what shape or target audience, or remember which Version of what mouse was released when.

I stopped caring about Razer mice after RMA'ing my second OG Deathadder for the same design flaw, but AFAIK they do cater to lefties/southpaws better than many other companies.

Their lineup is pretty simple, the way I look at it:
  • Viper - ambidextrous, symmetrical
  • Deathadder - left or right-handed asymmetrical
  • Naga - that weird thumb numpad for MOBA and MMORPG players
  • Basilisk - old school, for those last few remaining palm-grip weirdos ;)
I've had newer Razers since then, notably a Deathadder V3, Viper, Viper Mini - but they're horrifically overpriced and the software is awful.

"The shape that inspired an esports revolution returns with a new evolution" what are they even smoking? Not a single cyberathlete uses razer mice. Razer has always been selling bad product at an increased price. They are only selling because of their massive marketing budget.

Yes, the website you provided is 100% trash, here is the best source: liquipedia.net everybody is using gpx. I remember at QCon some time ago quakers would put different sensor inside sponsored mice. One of the most lul was rapha using an ms mouse with a razer logo sticked on it. Any more questions?

Yeah, can you link where exactly it shows statistics where literally nobody is using Razer mice?

The original Razer Boomslang was the only mouse that competitive esports players went out and bought with their own money. That was 25 years ago and Razer make nothing that shape any more.

Arguably the original Deathadder had one of the best sensors on the market when it launched, so quite a few pro esports players touted it for a year until better mice without the build-quality problems of the Deathadder stepped in to fix the problems that Razer wouldn't.

Even back then pros were using Microsoft mice with MLT04 sensor and edited the Windows registry to run it at 500/1Khz. Razer from its inception was a company spending all on marketing towards gamers. They still are to this day. The main difference is there is much more competition now. Their mice were notorious for having jitter and hard angles snapping. And lets not talk about their catastrophic drivers which to this days are a massive problem. Not only that but they were the first to go for RGB with their Chroma bloatware. Razer is banking on two things: appearances and media presence/advertising. They will never change. Some ridiculous small indie guys are doing a much better job nowadays all the while having much MUCH less resources.

Anecdotes are fine but can you show me where you see nobody today using Razer mice in competitions? Serious question, I cannot find it on that site you linked.

Sure thing: liquipedia.net/apexlegends/List_of_player_mouse_settings usually just type the game name in google with keywords pro settings and liquipedia (biggest esports org).

Thank you. GPX is extremely popular, but Razer mice are also very popular as well.
I did link more sources than just prosettings, including a similar list of Valorant players in VCT 2023 with a strong showing of Razer users, notably the DA V3 Pro.

Some teams/players are sponsored, usually when they have the choice they don't go for razer.

41 players on that list used razr mice, only 5 of those used razr keyboards. I went ahead and looked at the first 5 DeathAdder users and none of their teams are listed in razr’s sponsored page

I say this lovingly as someone who has only owned one razr product in my life, that was gifted to me, and would only purchase one if I were convinced it was the best option for me on the market, but I think this is just bias on your part
