Insert the wireless dongle into any of the USB ports on your PC.
Switch on the mouse and wait for it to connect to the wireless dongle. The indicator LED will turn solid green to show that the mouse is connected to the wireless dongle.

Install Razer Synapse when prompted, or download the installer from razer.com/synapse to personalize your mouse’s DPI settings, button configurations, polling rate, and other features.

USING YOUR MOUSE

POWER ON/OFF
Set the power on / off switch to on or off to switch on / off the mouse.

UNDERSTANDING THE LOW BATTERY WARNING
The indicator LED will blink red twice in repeated intervals to indicate that the battery power of the mouse is less than 5%.

This lighting sequence will repeat until the battery is drained or replaced.

CHANGING THE MOUSE’S DPI
Change the mouse’s DPI to match your playstyle with a press of the DPI cycle button, or fine-tune your own sensitivity settings using the Razer Synapse app. The indicator LED will briefly change its color to show which DPI stage is currently active.

DPI	Indicator LED
400	Red
800	Green
1600 (default)	Blue
3200	Cyan
6400	Yellow

When Razer Synapse is installed, an on-screen prompt will display as you cycle through each DPI stage.

CONFIGURING YOUR RAZER VIPER V3 HYPERSPEED VIA RAZER SYNAPSE

Internet connection is required for installation, updates, and cloud -based features. Registering for a Razer ID account is recommended but optional. All listed features are subject to change based on the current software version, the connected device(s), and
supported apps and software.

SYNAPSE TAB

Perfomance
The Performance subtab allows you to modify the sensitivity, acceleration, and polling rate.

Sensitivity
Sensitivity refers to the distance the cursor will travel based on how far the mouse moves. The higher the DPI, the farther the cursor will travel, given the same mouse movement distance.
Sensitivity Stages
A sensitivity stage is a preset sensitivity value. When enabled, you can create up to 5 different sensitivity stages, which you can cycle through using the DPI cycle button.
Enable X-Y Sensitivity
By default, the X-axis (horizontal) and Y-axis (vertical) use the same sensitivity values. However, you may set different sensitivity values for each axis by selecting the Enable X-Y option.
Polling Rate
The higher the polling rate, the more often the computer receives information about the status of your mouse, effectively reducing input latency and improving your mouse pointer’s reaction time. You can switch between 125Hz, 500Hz, and 1000Hz by selecting your desired polling rate from the options provided.
Mouse Properties
Access the Windows Mouse Properties, where you can modify operating system settings that directly affect your mouse.

Calibration
The Calibration subtab allows you to optimize the sensor of your Razer mouse to any surface for better tracking.

Smart Tracking
Smart Tracking lets you set the distance the sensor stops tracking when it’s lifted from its surface to avoid unwanted cursor movement. You may assign different values to the lift-off and landing distances by selecting the Enable Asymmetric Cut-Off.

Power
The Power subtab allows you to set your device to enter sleep mode when idle for a certain amount of time or manage its energy consumption when the battery level is low.

For accurate battery level detection, it’s recommended that you set the type of battery you’re using in the battery selection.

PROFILES TAB
The Profiles tab is a convenient way to manage all your profiles and link them to your games and applications.
Devices
View which games are linked to each device’s profiles or which Chroma Effect is linked to specific games using the Devices subtab.

You can import Profiles from your computer or the cloud through the import button () or create new profiles within the selected device using the add button ().

Linked Games
The Linked Games subtab allows you to add games, view devices linked to games, or search for added games. You can also sort games based on alphabetical order, last played, or most played. Added games will still be listed here, even if they are not linked to a Razer device.

To link games to connected Razer devices or Chroma Effects, simply click on any game from the list, and then click Select a device and its profile to launch automatically during gameplay to select the Razer device or Chroma Effect it will link with. Once connected, you may click the Miscellaneous button of the corresponding Chroma Effect or device to select a specific Chroma Effect or profile.

SETTINGS WINDOW
The Settings window, accessible by clicking the button on Razer Synapse, enables you to configure the startup behavior and display language of Razer Synapse, control the recommendations you see on the Dashboard, check the firmware version and master guide of each Razer device, or perform a factory reset on any connected Razer device.

SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

SAFETY GUIDELINES
To achieve maximum safety while using your Razer Viper V3 HyperSpeed, we suggest that you adopt the following guidelines:
Should you have trouble operating the device properly and troubleshooting does not work, unplug the device and contact the Razer hotline or go to support.razer.com for assistance.

Don’t take apart the device, and don’t attempt to operate it under abnormal current loads. Doing so will void your warranty.
Keep the device away from liquid, humidity, or moisture. Operate the device only within the specific temperature range of 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F). Should the temperature exceed this range, unplug and/or switch off the device to stabilize the temperature to an optimal level.

COMFORT
Research has shown that long periods of repetitive motion, improper positioning of your computer peripherals, incorrect body position, and poor habits may be associated with physical discomfort and injury to nerves, tendons, and muscles. Below are some guidelines to avoid injury and ensure optimum comfort while using your Razer Viper V3 HyperSpeed.

Position your keyboard and monitor directly in front of you with your mouse next to it. Place your elbows next to your side, not too far away, and your keyboard within easy reach.
Adjust the height of your chair and table so that the keyboard and mouse are at or below elbow-height.
Keep your feet well supported, posture straight, and your shoulders relaxed.
During gameplay, relax your wrist and keep it straight. If you do the same tasks with your hands repeatedly, try not to bend, extend or twist your hands for long periods.
Don’t rest your wrists on hard surfaces for long periods. Use a wrist rest to support your wrist while gaming.
Don’t sit in the same position all day. Get up, step away from your desk and do exercises to stretch your arms, shoulders, neck, and legs.

If you experience any physical discomfort while using your mouse, such as pain, numbness, or tingling in your hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, or back, please consult a qualified medical doctor immediately.

MAINTENANCE AND USE
The Razer Viper V3 HyperSpeed requires minimum maintenance to keep it in optimum condition. Once a month, we recommend you unplug the device from the computer and clean it using a soft cloth or cotton swab to prevent dirt buildup. Don’t use soap or harsh cleaning agents.
To get the ultimate experience in movement and control, we highly recommend a premium mouse mat from Razer. Some surfaces will cause undue wear on the feet requiring constant care and eventual replacement.
Do note that the Razer Viper V3 HyperSpeed’s sensor is ‘tuned’ or optimized specially for the Razer mouse mats. This means that the sensor has been tested extensively to confirm that the Razer Viper V3 HyperSpeed reads and tracks best on Razer mouse mats.
