Since the smart design correlates with the green colour theme and a notched wheel formed by the blend of black and green, the overall looks adigitalizes. On the contrary, Viper’s design isn’t much significant because the main focus is on performance. It imitates the traditional mouse comes with an all-black theme with a minimal green look and a thick notched wheel at the top that looks big compared to the nerd one in V2. Both of them are adorned by RGB lighting.

When it comes to the right-handed support, V2 raises its hand high up in the sky because of possessing it which lacks in the Viper sibling. Another interesting property is the weight possessed by these mini cakes. No matter how smart V2 appears yet it lags in terms of the smart weight because of 113g.
