Introduction
This is a clash of philosophies. The Viper V3 Pro is a stripped-back racing car designed for one thing: winning FPS gunfights. The G502 X Plus is a luxury SUV, packed with buttons, RGB, and a legendary infinite scroll wheel. Your choice depends entirely on whether you value ‘performance’ or ‘utility’.

The Weight Gap
The Viper V3 Pro is literally half the weight of the G502 X Plus. For games like Valorant or CS2, lower weight translates to faster flick shots and less fatigue. However, some users find the G502's heft feels more 'premium' and stable for productivity or slow-paced RPGs.
Utility and Customisation
This is where Logitech wins. With 13 buttons and the G-Shift feature, you can macro your entire workflow onto the mouse. The dual-mode scroll wheel (infinite spin) is a godsend for long documents or web browsing, features the Viper completely lacks.
