Razer Basilisk Gaming Mouse: 16,000 DPI Optical Sensor - Chroma RGB Lighting - 8 Programmable Buttons - Mechanical Switches - Customizable Scroll Resistance - Classic Black

Very comfortable and grippy. The dpi clutch is definitely different but I really like it and it helps a lot in FPS games where hitting all your shots is important. I don’t find myself using the dpi clutch super often but it’s really nice to have on certain games. The only thing that I don’t like about the mouse is the two thumb buttons on the interior side. I feel they’re a bit small but they still work really well. Overall this is a great mouse for those who play FPS games, which is who this mouse is tailored to.

The overall feel of this mouse is nice, but its held back by some hard-to-ignore flaws. The sides of the mouse are smooth rubber which feels awful and is impossible to keep from feeling greasy, no matter how often you clean it. My wife has a Razer mouse and the rubber wore away in less than a year, which I expect to happen here — I wouldnt have ordered it if I knew the size and smoothness of the rubber. Additionally, the mouse wheel click is incredibly sensitive and happens often when scrolling the wheel. Razers keyboard and mouse software borders on bloatware, and is incredibly intrusive and a pain to use. For all it does, it still wont boot your system with the LED settings youve saved so you have to tolerate the obnoxious default rainbow setting until the OS loads Razer Synapse. Coming from a Logitech G500 (which is no longer sold, unfortunately) this mouse doesnt really stack up. The rubber texture is hard to get past and the software is too much.

I purchased this Razer Basilisk gaming mouse last April. Works great! Nine months later, the wheel button became insensitive to clicks when zooming in-and-out. I got hold of Razer warranty support. After a few email exchanges, I was instructed to ship the mouse to them. After receiving it, they shipped me a new replacement. Thank you.

Slight problem with using hyper shift, lost control of button assignments. Called help desk and problem was resolved for now after 15 to 20 minutes and removing and reinstalling synapse 3. I dont mess with hypershift any more. Nice mouse, I use it for Fortnite and I have two Logitech mice. G602 and MX performance. Solid feel for someone with medium large hands and quite comfortable for hours. Never have had any problems with my playing hand using this mouse.

I bought this mouse to possible replace my

Great mouse! My old Mamba TE died on me so I decided to try something new, and Im glad I did! This mouse is super comfortable to use and nice and small for my smaller hands. Id not recommend this for people with huge hands unless you use claw grip though. The buttons are very responsive and very nice, and I love the sensitivity adjustment on the scroll wheel. I wish it had tilt-clicks on the scroll wheel, but thats not a huge deal. The RGB is really nice. I wish it had it in some other places though because it gets mostly covered up by your hand. Again, not a huge concern. The thumb rest is very comfortable and the rubberized grip is really nice. The two extra buttons are very nice and easy to access, and the thumb paddle is great for push-to-talk or any other useful on the fly button you may want to use. Overall, a great purchase!

For those with larger than average hands, these are very ergonomic and easy to use. Being able to adjust DPI on the fly makes gaming easier. I also like how tactile the clicks are and how comfortable it is to reach each button on the mouse with with ease. For high sense players, like myself, 16,000 dpi is way more than what the average player would need. The mouse is very responsive, and I like how the sniper button can be modified with a smaller button or removed completely. I use the smaller sniper button due to my thumb length and I can easily press it without awkwardly manipulating my thumb. For those looking for a good mouse for FPS games, this works well in APEX and Modern Warfare. My only complaint is that there is no onboad memory.

Great mouse. Love the trigger button. Couldnt game without this mouse. Dont like the software much but eh, Id say its worth it. BUT IF YOU HAVE A CAT - be warned. This mouse (and all razer products) have those really nice shoe-lace type wires. Built for being really durable.... except if you have a cat. My cat treats those wires like crack. Every time I leave my room door open and take a shower or whatever - I come out and my cat has chewed through the wire (not only happened with this mouse, but first happened with the Kraken headphones.... not once but twice and now THREE TIMES including this mouse).... and I know what your thinking.. .duh - your cat ate the mouse.... -_- I kind of wish you could choose between classic wires or the durable shoe-lace wires but definitely not Razers fault. JUST BE WARNED IF YOU HAVE A CAT. Luckily my motherboard protects itself against a electrical short or else it might have fried some things. I ran to my local Bestbuy today to replace it (less than 24hrs later) because I have become to dependent on the trigger button for aiming in videogames - I could have managed a round or two without it but couldnt bring myself to risk it.

I replaced my Logitech G502 with this mouse after it died on me, and I have no regrets. This is an excellent mouse. It’s comfortable, sleek design, lights are nice and bright (but you can change the brightness if it’s too much), and the cord is braided which is a nice feature of wired Razer products. It feels just like the G502, maybe even better. The side DPI change button (for sniper aiming in FPS games) is such a nice feature. You can also change the resistance of the scroll button if you want it more rigid or smooth gliding. The thumb rest feels comfortable and not in an awkward spot. Although, I do have small hands so I can’t say the same for everyone. My only complaint is that when I received the item, the bottom of the box was torn and bent, which made me worry a bit. Though when I got the mouse out of the box, there were no visible signs of breakage or scratches or anything missing. The mouse is still working fine. Overall, I would definitely recommend this mouse to anyone who might’ve had the Logitech G502 and are looking for a replacement or just simply in the market for a nice and comfortable mouse for gaming or just simple computer work. For those who are worried about the Razer Synapse 3 which comes with this mouse, I haven’t had any problems with it crashing. I believe it is still in beta, so I will update this review if I run into any problems regarding the software.

I have been having problems with my Logitech wireless mouse on my Mac mini for a while. The double clicking was beyond annoying. I havent used a wired mouse in over 15 years. The build quality is amazing and no more batteries. The chroma is beautiful. I dont game anymore, at least not on computers, but this would be a great gaming mouse that is inexpensive and top quality. Im satisfied. DO NOT USE RazeSynapse on Mac, it will crash your system and force a reboot. The software is clunky. The mouse works just fine though.
