So, what can you say about Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, the man widely regarded as the greatest League of Legends player of all time? With five World Championships under his belt, including the last two, he’s led his team, T1, to unprecedented success. His impressive record is a testament to his skill and dedication to the game.
Now, Razer is honoring his legacy with the release of the Viper Pro 3 Faker Edition, a special version of their flagship mouse designed with Faker’s favorite features in mind. This collaboration is a celebration of Faker’s remarkable career and his commitment to excellence.
A change of peripherals in 2024, key to this collaboration
Faker has been a dominant force in professional League of Legends for over a decade, consistently delivering outstanding performances in World Cups. However, he hasn’t achieved this success by sticking to the same strategies and tools. He’s continually adapted and evolved his gameplay, and that includes changing his peripherals. According to Razer, 2024 marked a significant shift in his approach, as he sought a lighter mouse that would provide greater comfort during extended gaming sessions.
It was during this time that Faker opted for the Razer Viper Pro 3, with its symmetrical design and remarkably light weight. This switch proved to be a crucial factor in his continued success, ultimately contributing to his fifth World Championship win. Now, the “Demon King” has been immortalized in this special edition of the mouse, tailored specifically to his preferences.
Faker himself has spoken about the impact of this change, saying, “What I like most about the Razer Viper Pro 3 is how comfortable it is, even after using it for a long time. Since many fans are curious about the products I use, this mouse is for them, and I hope they’ll feel just as satisfied when they use it.”
Technical characteristics of Razer Viper Pro 3
The Faker Edition of the Viper Pro 3 differs from the standard version only in its unique design and external details. In terms of performance, it retains all the features that have made the Viper Pro 3 a top choice among gaming professionals:
* Elite performance: The mouse utilizes the latest technology designed for high-level competitive gaming, validated by esports professionals. It boasts advanced features like dynamic sensitivity settings and adjustable survey rates, which minimize battery consumption without compromising performance, offering up to 95 hours of gameplay. The Razer Gen-3 optical switches guarantee speed and reliability, with a lifespan of 90 million clicks.
* Ultralight construction: The mouse maintains the acclaimed lightweight design of the V3 Pro, weighing in at just 54 grams. This ensures comfort and agility during prolonged gaming sessions.
