Hello everyone.

Is there a way I can identify during purchase whether a Razer Viper mini is the V2 version or the V1 version?

In case you didn't know, there is a Razer Viper mini v2.

During purchase - no.
Only via serial number (manufacturing date).

You look at the 3rd to 6th digit (from left side) on the serial number. For eg. PM2040 - the 20 means year (2020), 40 means 40th week - if you have 40 week or more, you should have the 2nd gen Optical switches.
Some people said, that they had it also on 35-37 week.

Guaranteed 2nd gen switches are on December units xx2050.
