Key takeaways
  • On October 15, 2026, Razer's official blog said Faker returned to Worlds 2026 with the Razer Viper V3 Pro Faker Edition.
  • Per Razer's product page it weighs 54 g, uses the Focus Pro 35K Optical Sensor Gen-2, polls at up to 8000 Hz wirelessly and ships at 1800 DPI and 1000 Hz, described as Faker's personal settings.
  • Shape and grip matter before brand names, and recording your ranked games before and after a switch is the clearest way to see whether it helped.

If you searched 'Faker mouse', the most reliable answer comes from his sponsor. On October 15, 2026, Razer's official blog said Faker returned to Worlds 2026 with the Razer Viper V3 Pro Faker Edition, a mouse Razer describes as developed with his input around the setup he uses in competition.

This guide sticks to what Razer and trusted outlets have published as of November 10, 2026: the spec sheet, the default DPI, how his Razer relationship developed, and what to check before buying the same mouse.

For context, T1's Worlds 2026 run ended in the semifinals on November 8 (local time) in Allen, Texas, where BLG won the series 3 to 1. The final is Gen.G vs BLG on November 14 at 2 p.m. ET at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. For Faker's titles and contract, see How many Worlds has Faker won.

Short answer: per Razer, Faker's mouse is the Viper V3 Pro Faker Edition

The Faker Edition is not a separate design from the ground up. Razer's newsroom introduced it on February 20, 2025 as a special edition of the Viper V3 Pro, with a crimson body and black buttons.

The FAQ on Razer's product page lists what sets it apart from the standard version: an exclusive design and color scheme, Faker's signature, and his personal settings (1800 DPI, 1000 Hz) loaded by default.

The same release says Faker switched from the DeathAdder to the Viper V3 Pro before Worlds 2024 and won another world title with it. The relationship goes back further.

On August 26, 2021, T1 and Razer announced a strategic partnership that included Faker's first branded gaming mouse, sold through the T1 SHOP in Seoul, and Faker said it was great to work with Razer again. In its 2026 blog post, Razer describes the partnership as spanning more than a decade.

League sponsorship is a separate topic: Logitech Korea announced an official LCK partnership on January 13, 2026, but that announcement covers the league and does not list what individual players use.

What to keep in mind about pro gear info

  • 1800 DPI and 1000 Hz are the out of the box defaults Razer calls Faker's personal settings. His in game League sensitivity has not been officially published, so it is left out here.
  • Razer says Faker returned to Worlds with this mouse. That is a sponsor announcement, not a match by match equipment list.
  • Specs are manufacturer figures. This article did not measure or benchmark the mouse against others.
  • His mousepad, keyboard and headset are not covered because no official source was found.
  • Specs reflect Razer's product page as of November 10, 2026 and may change with page or firmware updates.
Buying a pro's mouse will not give you a pro's mechanics. Hand size, grip, mousepad friction and the sensitivity you are used to all matter, so treat the Faker Edition as a good option if the shape fits your hand, and try a mouse with the same shape in person if you can.

How to decide if the Faker mouse is right for you

  1. 1Write down your current setupNote your mouse DPI, polling rate and in game sensitivity in League. Without a baseline you cannot tell what actually changed after a switch.
  2. 2Match shape and grip firstRazer recommends the Faker Edition for claw and fingertip grips. If you palm your mouse, check whether a symmetrical shell this size suits your hand before comparing spec sheets.
  3. 3Record a few ranked games before switchingCapture skill shots, kiting and teamfight entries with your old mouse. Decide in advance which kinds of moments you will compare.
  4. 4If you try 1800 DPI, match your screen speedHigher DPI moves the cursor farther for the same hand motion. Lower your in game sensitivity at first so the cursor travels about the same distance as before, then adjust slowly.
  5. 5Record the same number of games afterPlay the same number of games with the new mouse and compare the same kinds of moments side by side. A simple scorecard is in How to tell if new gaming gear actually helped.

Check whether a new mouse helps by recording your own games

DOR is a free Windows game recorder. Leave it running, start League of Legends, and the whole match is recorded automatically, while kills, multikills and objectives are saved as automatic clips in My Clips.

Replay and spectator recording is on by default, so playing back a .rofl replay records that view too, which lets you rewatch the same teamfight and check how your hand moved. To turn replay files into videos, see How to save a LoL ROFL replay as an MP4.

In DOR Studio you can merge a before clip and an after clip into one video to compare skill shots and movement side by side. League recording and clip details are collected on the League of Legends hub.
