How to use the new ultra-lightweight Razer Viper V2 Pro mouse on Mac?

Razer has just formalized its new Viper, an ultra-light wireless mouse, the first model of which appeared in 2019.

The Viper V2 Pro therefore falls below the 58g bar, despite its small internal battery, while retaining its legendary feel and programmable buttons. It uses the Focus Pro 30K sensor which displays a resolution of… 30,000 dots per inch, and even uses AI to improve tracking. The mouse still has a button to change the resolution on the go (useful for gamers or graphic designers) and Razer also promises a better lifespan of the beast, which is recharged by USB C – handy, isn’t it Apple?

It should be noted that Amazon is currently selling off the Viper v1 at € 119 and the Viper Mercury (wired) at 56€.. For my part, I prefer the Deathadder v2 filaire

Problem, despite the 159€ requested, the Razer Viper V2 Pro does not offer any driver on Mac -it’s becoming a habit at Razer, whose Synapse software is reserved for PCs. So how to use it on macOS? With USBOverDrive sure ! This program created by Alessandro Levi Montalcini is Monterey compatible and with Mac M1 – it is universal. It allows you to control all the buttons, but also the speed, the acceleration or even to create key combinations. The app is so complete that it often exceeds native drivers, including at Logitech and others. You can use all mice on the market, such as Razer, without any problem.

It will be specified that macOS natively recognizes all USB and Bluetooth mice, but there are sometimes issues if they use proprietary dongles. Moreover, the Apple system only manages the speed, the 2 buttons and the wheel, never more.
