Razer Cobra Gaming Mice Briefly Appear on Amazon Canada

[T0@st]

Razer looks to be preparing a pair of Viper Mini gaming mouse successors according to information shared on Reddit recently—but the peripheral specialist has decided to relabel these upcoming offerings under a new product family, albeit still sticking with a serpent naming scheme. Photos of boxed examples appeared online a few weeks ago, and this weekend two listings have turned up (before any official announcement) on Amazon.ca for a higher-end $179.99 "Cobra Pro Wireless" and a more budget friendly $54.99 "Cobra Wired" sibling. Pre-order information indicates that these units will be out on June 29, although Amazon Canada has quickly removed the product pages from their site. Gaming mouse purists have immediately jumped on this leak with criticism leveled at Razer for bumping up the number of Chroma RGB zones on these new models (when compared to predecessors), but the company is likely targeting a more mainstream crowd this time round.

The Razer Cobra Pro Wireless looks to be a slightly cheaper alternative to the extremely expensive Viper Mini Signature Edition (VMSE), thanks to sharing similar core specifications including the company's flagship Focus Pro 30K Optical Sensor and 90 million click-rated Optical Mouse Switches Gen-3. The Cobra Pro makes do with a plastic shell (no weight specified), which likely saves on material costs when contrasted with the magnesium alloy body featured on the 49 gram limited edition Viper Mini SE. Compatibility with Razer's 8000 Hz HyperPolling Wireless dongle was not outlined in the now removed listing. Razer's 58 gram Cobra Wired seems to be a true follow-up to the original (2020) Viper Mini—with Amazon's leaked spec sheet pointing to a fitting of the same previous generation 8500 DPI optical sensor, although the new entry level model has been updated with Razer's third-gen optical switches.

Damn it, no right side buttons again :'( so frustrating to not be able to use one of my hands like everyone else on its own, but also not be able to use products that could so easily accommodate for southpaws, that had already done so for decades until a new trend came along.

Considering Razer was one of the rare companies that made lefty mice in the past, it hurts even more

I only buy soundless mouse now, paid 7.99 for mine in July 2022. Can't stand the sound of clicking anymore, so soundless mouse is the only way to go for me.

First, the mouse has to fit your hand and feel comfortable and natural.

Next consider the number of buttons you need. If you're just going to cruise the net and post inane comments, then you only need a simple mouse with two buttons and maybe a scroll wheel. But if you're doing graphic design, gaming, video editing, etc then you'll need something with more.

After number of buttons is selected, type of switches for those buttons is looked at. For gaming a faster response time is needed, so a higher end mouse is more useful.

Laser quality should be considered along with switches. How responsive does your mouse have to be and what DPI range do you need? Do you want sensitivity to be adjusted on the fly?

Even the material at the bottom of the mouse is important. How smooth are the feet and how long will they last?

Do you want wired or wireless?

How about weight?

If you don't understand the benefits of the right mouse, then you have no right browsing a tech page.

Obviously there is a lot more than you have considered.

Well, just an FYI, but I have considered everything you listed, and have found a few mice over the years that meet all my needs, and they are ones that lacked the obligatory marketing hype BS that is soooo common nowadays. They serve me well, and the oldest one is going on 3 years old with NO signs of wear & tear or malfunctions, plus they don't require ANY bug-ridden BSOD-inspiring crapwarez to utilize all their functions...unlike so many other ones today (hint: razzer)

So even if you don't agree with my comments or user name, that does NOT give you the right to attack me personally, which IIRC, could get you banned from here. If need be, I can post a screen shot of the pm you sent me to make others here aware of your derogatory attitude....

ps: have a nice day
