Sometimes you come across a product that makes you raise your hands to the heavens and exclaim, "Why?"

Sometimes you come across a product that makes you scream, "Why?" when you see a mouse kit that not only asks you to buy a Razer Viper V2 Pro and complete it, but also to remove the adhesive skate on the bottom, disassemble it, and harvest the delicate PCBs from the inside.

The Zerømouse V34 calls itself "the ultimate aiming experience" and essentially boils down to a plastic frame that can be used inside the Viper V2 Pro to make another mouse, since Razer's squeakers are known as heavyweight chonker devices. , only this time it will probably be lighter...

Oh, and thanks to what Razer calls its "ultra-lightweight design," it only weighs 58g to begin with. Then forget it.

After disassembling the pathetic mouse and inserting the PCB into the included housing at an angle, assembling the scroll wheel, inserting the battery (with optional black sticker for looks!) inserted, and attach a skate to the bottom that you can buy on Amazon for $10.

Then, if you don't like the feel of the plastic, add a "super grip" and ta-da! You now have a mouse that looks much less comfortable to use than the first one you made. Super.

The price of this kit is only $69, and of course the Razer mouse itself is $150, bringing the total to $219. Of course, you can save cash by buying a used or refurbished Viper V2 Pro, or you can save the full $69 just by using that mouse in the first place.

I really despair. Still, there seems to be a market for the Zerømouse V34, and it is currently sold out at online stores in the US and UK. Now, who among you has bought one and would be willing to send it to me for review?

Frankly, I'm desperate to see what benefit was gained by removing the shell from the very capable mouse, beyond the satisfaction of disassembling it and stuffing it into a frame like the original peripherals were packed for shipping. The product page states that it is now an "ergonomic fingertip mouse" that is wireless and has less input lag.

So the last two points would be Razer's internal structure, but why the regular Viper V2 Pro cannot be used at the fingertips is beyond me at this moment.

Now, there are several precedents for this sort of thing. Because tinkerers and kit enthusiasts have been competing for a long time to make peripherals like this unbearably cute little gaming mouse. Then I can sort of understand. It's small, it's silly, and it's a pretty impressive feat of engineering. It's the kind of peripheral that is built not for ergonomics, but simply for novelty.

Perhaps some competitive gamers might want it because it's smaller, and smaller is faster. But I don't see the point of that. I know there are all kinds of people out there, but in this case, I'm not sure.
