Need help checking my Viper V3 pro is fake

I recently bought a Viper V3 pro off of Amazon resale however I’m unsure if its real or not.

The build of it seems legit, however when I look down the sensor at a specific angle I can see red, which I was told can’t happen on Razer Mice, in a camera the sensor appears purple. 

When I search up the serial number it says error and doesn’t find anything.

It pairs and works fine with Razer synapse however when I first plugged it in it tried downloading a Razer software which it couldn’t because ‘’No internet’’, unsure if all Razer mice do this when first plugged in.

There are no Viper V3 Pro fakes (yet).

Synapse detects is = it's ok. For the no internet thingy - maybe you've lost connection for a while, maybe it was a locked by some firewall /antivirus software, maybe some software bug.

You can register mouse here to fully confirm is it real: https://razerid.razer.com/products/new

Sensor has some purple-ish “beam” under phone camera, and you can see some red dot - this is normal.

Hello, thank you for your reply, the mouse seems legit just was unsure about the sensor, also I accidentally unplugged the hyperpolling dongle and the mouse came up in ‘’sleep mode’’ in synapse but the mouse was fine and I could move it, I had to turn it off/on for it to come up again. However I unplugged it again and it came up fine, was that just a glitch?

Probably some glitch. I'd not bother about this much, unless it'll glitch again.
