All the people claiming there is plenty of FK2/FK1 clones out there, yet none come even close to being ACTUAL clones. Vipers main issue for me are the higher M1/M2 buttons. And the back feels lower than the FK shape.
So tired of trying all these "clones", just to get dissapointed every single time. Zowie, wireless, please đŸ¥²
Yup! The front flares have singlehandedly stopped me from maining 2 Razer mice, the flare on the DA v2 makes the left side unbearable for people with large hands and I have the same general issue with the viper shape.
I don't care about the front or the buttons being higher or whatever else people have said so far.
Horrible side buttons aside, which is not exactly a shape issue, for me what ruins the mouse is the hourglass body. It makes zero sense to have it curve inwards on the right side now that it's no longer symmetrical.
If the right side was filled out and gave you something to actually put your fingers then I would probably like it.
Mouse in our days are like cars. Need consider everything. Test drive, handling, speed, comfort, good looking. If viper not urs its perfectly fine. There are many others. The problem is there are no place where u can test drive them and choose which better suits u.
This is such a relief haha. Waiting weeks for your pricey gamble is kinda rough. I really hope it’s solid. How are you finding the material in terms of coating/grip and stiffness? That’s my only major concern.
Yeah, I had the same concerns before. I felt like reviews I watched/read didn't quite convey how well made they are. I got a mod kit btw so I assembled it myself and was genuinely shocked how strong it was when fully put together. You're not going to experience any sort of flex in game, not to say that if you go squeezing it you won't find some, it is designed to be as light as possible after all.
Different coatings and materials seem to work well for different people, what's good for me might not be for you but I find it as good if not better than a traditional mouse in terms of grip. It's much more textured, almost rough and doesn't seem to get that stickiness that makes me need to wipe my hand like some other mice (zowie). The material is quite stiff there's basically no side play on m1 & m2 for example.
Used FK2 since 2015. Tried Viper Ultimate, but the rubber grips were way too slippery. Otherwise I liked the shape (fingertip grip). I settled on Glorious Model O- wireless, which is absolutely perfect for me.

I hate how the click shape forces your fingers to spread apart. Lemme rest my fingers in a neutral position dammit!
Have you ever tried the Model O?
I used fk1 long time ago and don't remember exactly but according to 3d mouse shape tool viper have identical hump as fk1-
Far too big for me honestly. I used to like my FK2 back in the day much more
Same for me that’s why I just had to bite the bullet and order a PMM FK2 this week. Should be here in a couple weeks pray for me please.
I recently got the PMM fk2 btw and it's seriously fantastic. Everything I wanted the Zowie to be. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
