General
Razer's Viper Ultimate is a great wireless mouse and is on sale for $100.

It's been a little over two years since we reviewed Razer's Viper Ultimate wireless gaming mouse, and it remains one of our top picks. If you're looking for a super high DPI (20,000 in this case), this is the best gaming mouse out there. Our main complaint has always been the price, but now you can trap this rodent for just $99.99.

That's $50 off the list price. This is not the mouse by itself, but the version bundled with the RGB charging dock. The mouse sells for $92.99 by itself (down from $129.99), so it's worth paying a few extra bucks to get the dock.

The Viper Ultimate has more than just a high DPI: it's fast at 650 IPS (inches per second), relatively lightweight and easy to hold, has eight programmable buttons, and can store up to five profiles in its on-board memory.

Razer claims up to 70 hours of battery life on a single charge. Samuel tested it for us and said the actual battery life was not far off.

"I used it as my main mouse for an entire week without the battery ever running out. Measured during intense gaming, the battery drain was 2-3 percent per hour, which translates to a battery life of 35-50 hours. However, I was using the "responsive" lighting setting, where the mouse's Razer logo lights up when clicked.

It also recharges quickly, taking about 2 hours to go from 0 to 100 percent. The RGB lighting on the dock changes color when it is fully charged, so you know when it is charging. Very convenient.

Above we linked to the Classic Black SKU, but Mercury White and Quartz Pink models are also available at the same price.
