5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Performance and Comfort; Recommend!
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2024
I've been using the Razer mouse for a few YEARS now(purchased 2022), and it's absolutely phenomenal. The precision of the sensor is unmatched, making it perfect for both gaming and simple web browsing. The hand feel is simply spot-on, fitting comfortably in my hand for hours on end without any strain, not to light and not too heavy. The customizable RGB lighting adds a nice touch, allowing me to personalize my battle station.

What stands out most is the durability and build quality, where other mice start missing or double clicking my Razer mouse stands strong. The mouse feels solid and well-constructed, clearly built to last. Plus, the audibly responsive buttons and smooth glide are a dream for anyone who values quick, accurate movements.

Obviously, the Razer mouse has exceeded my expectations in almost every way. If you're looking for a top-tier mouse that combines performance, comfort, and style, this is the one to get. Highly recommend!

And besides, there aren't any batteries to change or charge! It really is my favorite mouse.

5.0 out of 5 stars So far, so good
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2024
Five stars SO FAR.
I tried this mouse for my gaming box to replace a Kinesis Vector RGB mouse because of the endemic button-switch bounce problem that all Vectors seem to develop alarmingly quickly. Truth to tell, it has many more buttons than I prefer, and I haven't figured out what half of them do yet. Like the Vector, it has multiple hardware tracking/sampling DPI rates, and can cycle between them with a button press; *unlike* the Vector, it provides no visual indication of what its DPI rate is currently set to. It is responsive and extremely comfortable, though it takes a bit of counter-intuitive jumping through hoops to get the Razer Synapse configuration software set up. I ended up using Synapse to set it to a usable speed because I was trying to set the speed with the wrong button. It doesn't help that the nearly microscopic print on the user guide sheet is not kind to older eyes.
Its scroll button does side-scroll as well as vertical, and can be set to either 'tactile' or free-spinning at the touch of a button — though personally I do not like free-spinning mouse wheels. They make it far too easy to ACCIDENTALLY spin when you didn't want to.

*OF COURSE*, as is all too common these days, you cannot set up Razer Synapse without creating and logging into a Razer account. Dear Razer and all the rest of you, PLEASE STOP DOING THIS, it is intrusive and irritating and does not earn you any love. If I'd REMEMBERED that Razer did this, I might not have bought the Razer mouse. I will ALWAYS choose a product that DOES NOT require a vendor account login over an equivalent one that does. *ALWAYS*. It's past time tech corporations stopped treating their customers' eyeballs and personal information as the PRODUCT.

Overall, the Basilisk seems well designed and well constructed, and very reasonably priced for what it is. I've very quickly gotten used to it, and it is definitely a better replacement for the Vector with its switch-bounce problems. (Getting a double-click generated when you intended to click once can range from annoying to actively destructive.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing value.

Pros:

- software support for razer software suite. Includes macros and every other function you would need.

- sensitivity clutch is useful for shooters or as a modifier switch.

- "hyper shift" the clutch mentioned above can be used to activate a secondary layer of controls. Holding it activates the layer and it's specific bindings, releasing returns to first layer of bindings. This effectively multiplies the usable buttons.

- mouse wheel features tactile and speed modes, with additional behaviour customizations as well.

- smooth gliding feet, no snags.

- braided cable is extremely premium.

- wired mouse for those who prefer it (like me)

- plug and play . Functional and usable even should you choose not to install the software suite.

- durable. I have purchased three basilisk line products from razer. My v2 lasted 2 years and was still perfect when I swapped to a v3. That v3 lasted a year and I just gifted it to my cousin. This one is my 3rd device and I have confidence in this brands durability.

- 26k dpi max

- supports "stages" of sensitivity that can be increased or decreased with two buttons behind mouse wheel. The stages dpi value can be altered using the recommended partner software suite from razer.

- stylish design, appealing to the target audience.

Cons:

- sensitivity clutch is not removable. The v2 version has a clutch that works the same and CAN be removed. This product (v3) has the same but it CANNOT be removed. If this matters to you.

Verdict:

Many make fun of razer as being an edgelord brand and joke about it, but the truth is gimmicks and image aside every new product I've purchased from them has performed at or above expectations and was durable. This mouse is a great value for its functions when you are using razers connected software suite. However if you do not wish to use a software suite you may desire a mouse with more programmable buttons. This for me though is perfect. Clean because only necessary buttons, yet hyper shift allows me more when needed.
