What really separates these two
Weight and shape: palm against claw
The Superlight 2 weighs 60 g and has a fuller shape that supports a palm grip. The Viper V3 Pro drops to 54 g with a flatter profile that fits claw and fingertip better. Six grams looks like nothing on paper, but you feel it when stopping: less mass means less inertia to cancel at the end of a flick. In reality, though, the decision isn't made by weight but by your grip: if you rest your whole palm, the Logitech's shape will be more comfortable over long sessions.
8 kHz polling: who gives it to you in the box
Both reach 8000 Hz, that is, one report every 0.125 ms. The difference is the box: the Viper V3 Pro includes the 8 kHz HyperPolling dongle, while with the Superlight 2 the receiver that enables that rate isn't in every bundle. If the goal is 8 kHz on day one without buying anything else, that point goes to Razer.
Switches and sensor
Razer publishes a concrete figure: 0.2 ms actuation with Gen-3 optical switches, no debounce and 90 million clicks of life. Logitech answers with LIGHTFORCE hybrid switches, which keep the mechanical feel with an optical signal, and with the HERO 2 sensor at 44,000 DPI and 888 IPS against the Focus Pro's 35,000 DPI. The DPI numbers are marketing above 3,200 — no tactical shooter player uses them. What matters is that neither sensor adds smoothing.
Palm grip and the Logitech ecosystem (including POWERPLAY charging): Superlight 2. Claw or fingertip, less weight, an 8 kHz dongle included and a two-year warranty: Viper V3 Pro. It's one of the rare comparisons where the right answer is set by your hand, not by the spec sheet.
