DELUX - M800 Mini Pro Lightweight (M800minipro-42g)

Sensor tech has peaked and plateaud so you're likely not going to find a difference because your baseline mouse sensor wise is already good. Main upgrade would be the clicks, coating, skates and build. My Viper Mini's scroll wheel started having issues after only 4 months in (though thats just a common Razer issue not specifically an RVM issue) and after 3 years it started creaking from being pressed from the side (honestly impressed it lasted that long) Take the newest mouse that I know of to try and clone the Viper Mini shape, Delux M800 Mini (Pro version with the 3395): Sensor: probably wont feel a difference on 1k though you get higher polling rates on the M800 Mini Clicks: TTC Opticals on the M800 Mini give you a much more tactile experience compared to the older V1/V2 Razer Opticals (depending on what year you bought your RVM from, but they're both dull feeling either way), scroll wheel also better by default. Coating: Viper Mini used textured plastics for grip, whereas new chinese mouse like the M800 Mini nowadays use rubberized coating that gets grippier the sweatier your hands get Skates: good quality on both mouse, but still on the controlled side of speed, would recommend switching out after some use (though skate switching is more annoying on the viper because of the plastic sensor ring that protrudes outward so you need thicker skates so the middle doesnt scrape on your pad) Build: the RVM is 61g and built like a tank on a good copy, M800 Mini doesnt try to go as light as the other options like Scyrox, ATK and VXE who aim for 36g-ish weight and go for a modest 47g which means more can be put towards keeping the build of the mouse more rigid so you get the benefit of lower weight without risking long term issues of side creaking. Additionally, Value: if you wanted to buy a wireless version of the Viper Mini from Razer they would have you spend $100 on a Razer Cobra Hyperspeed which is still 60grams with worse weight balance than the wired rvm and the hump isnt as high as on the rvm. Meanwhile M800 Mini (Pro variant) is around $30-$50 depending on where you get it and is closer to the RVM shape hump wise with slightly tapered sides at the front. Delux M800 Mini is not the only option for a RVM vs new mouse comparison, most of the other rvm middle hump inspired shapes usually have similar specs to the M800 maybe with better qc, better stock skates or newer sensor (like ATK F1 Extreme/Hitscan Hyperlight) its just up to you whether you think its worth paying extra for those

delux m800 mini, or rawm-sh01s. These two are almost like clones of VM and can be purchased in various configurations when it comes to battery and sensor AFAIK

I have about the same size hands. I recently went on a little spree on ali express because I'm hooked on mice.... I got a Darmoshark m3 micro pro, Zaopin Z2 mini, Delux m800 mini, Keychron m4, and Mambasnake m4. I got the Mambasnake for my nephew so it's budget but pretty nice, Like $25 off Amazon. The Delux m800 mini was $30ish on Ali Express, It's a Razer Viper Mini clone. The Zaopin Z2 mini is a smallish slight ergonomic, close to $60....Anyway I'm rambling. The Mambasnake M4 and Delux m800 mini would be nice budget options for you. If you want to spend more money the Zaopin z2 mini is very nice.

tbh i feel like zaopin z2 mini is underrated, nice unique shape instead of copypasta and people tend to ignore it, and rapoo and incott g23, i don't have vt3 pro max, but i have vt9 pro and g23 and vt9 is better (except it lacks hotswap) so i think their places should be exchanged i guedd delux m800 is ultra? because i have m800 3395 rgb (older version) and it's quite bad, i would put it in d tier it's on same level with vxe r1 se+ despite having better sensor, it has bad implementation...

The deluxe m700 or m800 are good options for cheap mice in my opinion.. same shape as a viper and way lighter with better sensor and no Razer software. I had a wired deluxe mouse for a long time and it stood up well vs my Razer and Cooper master mice. Glorious model o and o- also come to mind as good options. My model o- is in my normal rotation.
