Razer has released a new eSports focused gaming mouse called the Razer Viper 8KHz and it is the World’s first esports gaming mouse with a true 8000 Hz polling rate. It features the new Razer HyperPolling Technology which surpasses the industry-standard 1000Hz polling rate with a true 8000Hz polling rate for ultra-fast responsiveness, speed, and reliability.
In the current market, most of the top mice in the world have polling rates of 1000 Hz. While that is not bad, a higher polling rate has not been the main focus of all the big manufacturers for a long time. Razer has come in and finally changed it, bringing out the first eSport ready mouse featuring the fastest polling rate as well with the Razer Viper 8KHz.

Alvin Cheung, Senior Vice President of Razer’s peripherals business unit said the following about the new Razer mouse.
Latency is a very important part of gameplay that significantly affects the overall gaming experience – and yet, it is overlooked by many companies that focused for too long on increasing DPI. Unlike DPI, lower latency benefits everyone from casual to professional players by shaving off important milliseconds from the overall reaction time. During our testing and development process with a large pool of competitive players and mouse enthusiasts, many reported significantly smoother and more responsive input when using the HyperPolling Technology featured in the new Viper 8KHz esports gaming mouse.
The Viper 8KHz is the first Razer peripheral to feature Razer HyperPolling Technology, marrying 3 key innovations in one device to create the world’s fastest competitive gaming mouse. The mouse weighs a mere 71 grams and mouse has a solid ambidextrous design.
Through Razer Synapse 3, gamers can rebind the eight programmable buttons, assign macros or secondary functions, and save all profile configurations to the Viper 8KHz’s advanced onboard memory. With storage for up to five onboard memory profiles, users enjoy instant access to their personal settings wherever they are.
The Razer Viper 8KHz has a retail price of 79.99 USD and is now available to buy at Razer.com and authorized resellers.
