MUST KNOW Before You Buy a Razer Cobra Pro

- Everyone is mad as heck at the Razer Cobra Pro wireless mouse. For pretty good reason but still I wouldn't say this thing stinks. It's got some merit and good performance, it's just almost the polar opposite of what EVERYONE was asking for.

I literally have no issues with this mouse. It's not as heavy as people are making it out to be. Stop being nitpicky.
How to pick out someone who has never left platnium. It's a brick
@@hayden1255I'm not the one complaining about not being able to lift a wireless mouse. LOL.
@marvlouslie2053 lifting and being able to aim quick with a mouse like this are two different things. You'll understand when you reach diamond+ in games like I have
@@hayden1255LMFAO. Holy shit, dude. It's not that serious. It's a fucking mouse. Knock it off.
@hayden1255 Are u a 3 year old kid that's why u can't even pick up a fkn mouse or u probably have girl hands sies man stop complaining
me being confused why someone would think 75g is a problem....me also being a basilisk V3 pro user
I asked for this mouse. Optical switches, wireless, great battery life, decent RGB for fun, excellent sensor, 5 on-board memory slots, easy disassembly to clean the scroll wheel, etc. On the other hand, I didn't ask for your video. :D
Edit: Okay clickbait thumbnail aside, your take wasn't bad. The weight is no problem whatsoever and anyone who thinks a few grams (representing a few pills of medicine) matters is nuts and has mosquito arms. But yeah, the rubber grips on the sides, that was not smart and will probably wear down. It depends a bit on how hard the surface is. If it wears down, you can always put grip tape on it, lol.
Edit 2: Okay, I just realized something in teardown photos: The rubber side grips are extremely thin and are completely removable to reveal the normal plastic. It is no problem whatsoever. :) They are basically just pre-mounted grip tape on the outside of the shell. So if/when it wears down, just remove them and put new grip tape there.
"You have weak arms 80 grams isn't a brick" is something someone who has never left platnium in any game would say. Reach a semi impressive rank and you'll know why it's a brick in terms of aiming
@@user-zj7eh1pn2l Agreed. The DPI switch button is great and you can program on-board memory profiles where you can set how many values you want the DPI buttons to cycle through. I use 3: 400, 800, 1600. Any other values are just a gimmick. These three are useful. :)
@@hayden1255 What you just said is the most "tell me you are 15 years old without saying that you are 15 years old" thing I've read in a long time. :) You might want to check what pros are using. Half of them use mice in the 110 gram range. Oh and btw, I have the Cobra Pro now and it's insanely lightweight.
@@BenderdickCumbersnatch according to statistics you can Google yourself, in q1 2023 32% of pro gamers were using the g pro superlight, the death adder v2 pro being in second at 9.0%, so idk where you got your statistical unless they're from 2016. Also 23.
@@BenderdickCumbersnatch yeah I'm sure you probably think it's lightweight since you're more than likely a boomer that has never reached even diamond in any game you play
Why are people hating on this mouse so much? Its like barely 10 grams , sure a little heavy but im pretty sure there are people who like a little weight in their mouse , i just feel a slight weight can give a bit of control in fps games , where as with light mice i actually have to adjust accordingly. Jesus its not that serious, use it and youll know its actually quite comfortable and I'm enjoying it
Fr I like the weight
A lot of people complained about the weight, sure, most FPS players have the superlight, which is lighter but on the other side there are professional counter strike players using 130 gram mice lol.
The weights fine trust me.
Just got this mouse yesterday and I’m loving it. Coming from using the Viper, I like the fact that it’s very similar to the v2 pro in form factor and way cheaper given that it also as the same polling rate of up to 8kHz. But honestly, I don’t feel any difference between 1kHz and 8kHz. Perhaps it’s just a gimmick. Weight is decent maybe just a tad bit heavier but I got used to it pretty quickly. RGB IS SIIIICCCKKK bro. Bottom line is every mouse regardless of the brand is subjective to the user. There is no perfect mouse. Every mouse has its “flaws”. What works for some may not work for others. Take care everybody 🤗
I can’t believe that a 75g mouse is considered heavy now.
Would you consider yourself to have large hands? I just want to know for how the mouse would feel.
I have wide but short hands, so mice fit me differently than most reviewers. Width would be considered large but length is right between what most consider small and medium. 17.5cm long, 10.5cm wide.
Does anyone know if the viper mini grip tape will fit this one?
I don't have them in hand, but looking at the pattern of the pre-cut ones from Razer, it doesn't look like they will unless you cut certain portions of it off. The glossy accents will cause problems and the viper mini pre-cut grips will overlap it.
The weight isnt that much of an issue. Keep in mind the viper ultimate from years back had a weight of 74 grams. Last i remember no one really complained about the weight. So the cobra “weighing a lot” is a non issue.
you see every time I hear the argument over weight of mice, I don't physically understand it, the reason for this is people say you can't be as snappy, but whats the point in having sensitivity in games if thats the case, just change the sensitivity to your preferability then it doesn't matter if its 96g like my razer deathadder essential, the hyperx pulse fire core at 87g or the razer cobra at 78g, This is the reason im going for the cobra for gaming and then for every day to day activities i'll probably go for the basilisk v3. Overall I feel as its down to what you feel is a good mouse and that you can't base it off everyone elses opinions except for your own
You can be snappy but not precise, low weight allows you to snap to the target and then micro adjust really fast, when you have a lot of inertia because of the higher weight it becomes progresively harder and harder to do so, not to mention that playing for longer becomes more taxing on your hand with heavier mice. Low weight mice are just overall more desirable.
@@shinigamialexx fair enough would u say it’s ok for me to go for this mouse then if I haven’t ever used a lightweight mouse before normally it’s been over 90g the lightest one I have used is my HyperX pulsefire core, and the cobra is lighter than that, also thinking about 2 mice set up so basilisk and the cobra and get a dock since they both use it
To be honest i wouldnt go for this mouse, for that price tag id rather buy a g pro x superlight, or any of the new ambi mice that are on the market that are probably just miles better that the cobra pro. I think this is a slap in the face for viper mini fans.
If you like razer mice and 70ish grams isnt a deal breaker for you i'd recomend you go for the viper v3 hyperspeed, just use AAA battery with it and you get better internals for the same weight
@@shinigamialexx I’ll have a look then since most price tags I look at are over £100 any way getting it buy now pay later any way and gives me 12 months to pay it 🤣🤣🤣
You're just saying what Razer reps have been saying. It's called Cobra and not Viper Mini because it's not meant to be the wireless Viper Mini.
True, but my beef with it is that the reps have also said outright that there is no plan to release a proper viper mini wireless. Meaning that the Cobra Pro is functionally Razer’s viper mini wireless whether they say it or not.
@@GekkoTechGaming I have the mouse (as razer goes I have this, the viper v2 pro, dav3 pro, basilisk v3 pro and my older mamba wireless) and love how it performs except battery time because of the stupid RGB adding weight and consuming battery life - the later you may turn of on synapse, as I did, still the weight is there; also those side rubber grips that should have been made optional for those wanting it by buying the due tape and as it is reminds me of the 2018 mamba wireless that I still have and also love - but when those grips are worn... Luckily those of my mamba are still in great shape, but I'm not so sure those on the cobra as they seem of less quality, never should have been there in the first place by default. So my point is that I agree with you both and your comments don't exclude themselves, quite the opposite: you're both right with complementary points of view to each other. nice video, cool not to see such hate to what is a very good mouse at the end, but that did not achieve the rank of great imo. Cheers
@@GekkoTechGamingwhy didnt they then just built a mini wireless, cause they wanted something else for the wireless idk
for me the problem is the price im sure if they kept the price low people wont complain
This is a fun mouse. Really like all aspects of it. Maybe it is not a huge gaming mouse.
damn people need let this mouse stand on its own, i get ya'll are hurtin over it not being the viper mini wireless you've been wanting but like cmon the hate feels really forced on what is a pretty decent mouse
I think y’all just have to give the cobra a chance
nobody asked for this... but i freakin' love it
all we needed is a razer viper mini SE made out of plastic..... what a way to ruin a good series of mice
My opinion is that for a mouse which costs around $161 (here at my place this is what it costs) I would definitely say the charging deck should've been included. Like seriously, wtf. It's a wireless mouse Razer... What the hell were you thinking? :D Another think, 78g is heavy for you? Yea considering the other models it's heavy. I use an Asus ROG Pugio, guess the weight of it. without the cable it's 103 g. 🤣 At least according to it's specifications on the Asus main website. So yea, Cobra Pro would be a sweet cloud in my hands. But for $161? Jesus. In my country (Hungary) that's 55.000 Forints. Let me tell you here that the avarege salary here is around 250.000 HUF, that's the true data, not the one that was reported by the government. That's a freakin' lie. 😂
But definitely agree, the price stings, especially if you want the full package... And DANG for real that's insane to hear about Hungary, I'm sorry dude. Almost 1/5th of a year's salary for a mouse is crazy. The wired cobra is actually a really solid wired mouse if you are a fan of the shape and performs well too.
It's... genuinely confusing how so many people come away from my video saying "bro I can't believe you think it's too heavy" when I said in the review that it's perfectly fine for me and I perform the same with the 78g cobra pro compared to the 49g viper mini SE lol. That's how the internet is I suppose. It'll be a problem for the mouse enthusiast crowd that has gotten too used to 50 gram featherweights being the 'norm' when it's really just a gimmick once you get to 60-ish grams imo.
@@GekkoTechGaming I think you might misunderstood me in both cases. :P About the weight I was just funny with you. :P Nothing is wrong if a mouse is too heavy for anyone or not. There are no 100% similar people on the world who will experience the same way the same mouse. I think even twins are completely different in this matter. Sorry If I sounded offensive. :P It was just a joke because I use a heavy mouse now and this one would be lightweight for me lol.
On the other matter 250.000 is not a yearly salary. :P I meant it as monthly avarage, but yea. 1/5 of a month salary for just a mouse is hardcore, at least here. And this 250 is only an avarage, which means some even earns below it or well below sadly. :( Just for reference this 250k HUF is around 709 USD if we count today's currency, not sure what can be the monthly avarage in the US.
@@LostinGaming0 Oh shoot my bad XD Yes I definitely misunderstood lol! Very well put and I agree there for sure. Didn't sound offensive, but a lot of other comments keep saying that I say it's too heavy when I pretty clearly didn't so I'm just kind of generally confused by the reactions haha.
Ahh gotcha. Yeah that's still really pricey in that context as well.
Me been watching with a 110g mouse..its a nice mouse tho
I just like how I looked at Zy Rocket Jump Ninjas original viper mini review video, found the most upvoted comment was something like: They should make a viper mini ultimate. The reply to that said charging dock 😅😅
but you know, nobody asked for it
I do see your point. But looking at the comments, it’s like one drop in a sea of the majority asking for only wireless and the Focus+ sensor. I do like wireless charging but it’s counterproductive to the original design philosophy by making it require an increase of weight as well as a substantial increase in price. Like I mentioned in the video, it isn’t a bad mouse, it gets good marks, it’s just a bad viper mini wireless. If they released this 2 years ago it would have slapped. The market has changed a lot since then. I think they are just a couple years too late.
Why can’t they just keep things simple
Could have been as easy as slapping new internals into a slightly updated shell.
I have this mouse and am thinking of using a lighter battery to reduce the weight
I bought one off of AliExpress. The least annoying mods to bring weight down are to swap battery and remove the rear logo diffuser. The diffuser along the bottom of the mouse actually helps with structural integrity so I personally wouldnt remove that one.
the razer for everyone and no one
Too gimicky Razer should have opted out the grips, BT, RGB, to save costs and used the old shell and just put 2.4ghz and sell it at 80 usd then it would be hard to beat
It’s an upgraded viper ultimate, not a wireless mini. Crazy how braindead the mouse snobs are, crying over this one not being what they expected?
Just don’t buy it if you don’t like it, it’s not meant for the elitist
It's not an upgraded version, it adds 3 grams to what was already a brick.
@@hayden1255 It’s simply not for the super light mice users? The basilisk is over 100g and remains super popular because it caters to a DIFFERENT audience.
And 3g weight increase? OMG so heavy, completely unusable!
@@zmjjkk1 that's a statement someone who's never left platnium in a game would make. It's a brick and if you take aim even semi seriously you won't use it
@@hayden1255 Calling a 75g mouse a brick is sad, just get stronger. Who’s asking you to use it then? Go buy an ultralight mouse then??
Also there are both CS and Val pros using WAY heavier mice. Even g402 was being used for PRO PLAY, so if you need a 40g mouse to leave platinum it’s saying something lmao
@@zmjjkk1 the g pro superlight is the most used mouse by pros, nobody uses the absolute garbage that is the G502 and no pros are going to be using this garbage brick. Save that the gold and below players
I use the viper mini se, yeah the cobra is shit.
Terrible product release 😂
Razer really botched this up big time
