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

I only Found two things to be wrong with this with my experience. I don’t know if the mouse is too small or if my hands are just big, but it doesn’t really fit into your hand. And the DPI clutch started to get annoying, didn’t really use it, in games like cod MW, and Destiny 2. But what’s good about that clutch, is you can customize it (as well as all of the buttons) to a good amount of different actions. I ended up returning this and getting the Mamba Elite (wired), have had it for 2 months now, haven’t regretted it.

Okay, here are my impressions after the first day. As a mouse, this thing functions fantastic. The buttons are clicky the scroll wheel resistance can be adjusted, there are two extra programmable buttons on the side, and then there is the DPI clutch. Oh my. This baby basically allows you to have instant access to two different mouse sensitivity settings all the time. So you set it by default to one sensitivity, and then you can set the sensitivity of the mouse with the clutch depressed separately as another sensitivty. This makes fine tuned precision clicking in games like league a blast because you have so much control. I like using this mouse a lot but it only gets 4 starts because of razer. They try and force you to give all your info, for warranty purposes yes but also to even use all the features of the mouse. They prompt you to install the razer stnapse 3 software and then you have to make an account etc etc. Well nope not me. The mouse is still very usable however on the deffault settings. Just plug it in, refuse to download their software, and you get RGB rainbow color glow and the DPI clutch sensitivity set to the lowest default mouse setting. Then you can toggle mouse sensitivity to medium or high by default and then it shifts to low with the clutch pressed in. This works great for me. Without the synapse software though, you lose the ability to pick and customize the rgb colors and you give up have 5 toggleable mouse settings profiles. Were it not for this, I would give 5 stars. But I got this mouse cheap enough these things dont bother me. The mouse itself is great.

Honestly finally found a good mouse that i can work with without heating up my hand and use for a prolong time with comfort. For me logitech G502 has been my daily for autocad/fiber design/gaming but the basilisk just took its spot. Ive tried/use the mx master, G900 (which i use for my laptop) & razer uruborus, deathadder, G502 for the office and some generic brands..The aesthetics is not all there compared to the logitech mouses ive used but the smoothness, ergonomics, and the coated material makes it suitable for my everyday needs.Never thought my G502 could be replaced and quite shocked it did just that.

Im not sure I feel the same as everyone who raves about this mouse. I am a fingertip grip PC FPS gamer foremost which came from using a Logitech G500 for so many years to count. Ultimately there is a specific type of form for people who finger tip grip and this mouse definitely has the feel and the finish. I loved the clean design language and the quality of the material. The rubber side molding feels great to hold and the entire mouse has a light weight good quality exterior finish. People say the mouse is heavy for a competitive mouse just over 100 grams at 107-8g but to me honestly; Im a bigger guy who lifts a bit at 511 -220lb with pretty decent medium-large hands with slightly long fingers. So this mouse felt almost too light and too small. When I move the mouse it is with my finger tips attached like a claw like grip but ultimately a lot of grip comes from the palm of my hand resting on the mouse. Ultimately my palm has trouble touching this mouse in my grip and makes it harder to control because the mouse is too small. Moving onto software: Synapse 2.0 didnt recognize this mouse so I couldnt utilize the drivers unit synapse 3.0 came out. While it Works the program is FAR from finished and definitely needs some more polish. Mechanically this mouse has some great clicks. The buttons are very responsive and crisp in a Razer fashion. The mechanical buttons are very tactile in their mechanism and always give a great feed back for a good sounding click, the sensor is very good and I cant even get it to spin out and lose itself when I swipe the mouse across. Definitely has a great sensor as Razers most current mouse. The mouse wheel has a resistance adjust that is cool but, it still feels kinda cheap and lackluster compared to a logitech with infinite scroll. Design (Which is very subjective) to me as a designer I very much appreciated the product design of this mouse. Lines are lining up with certain design elements and the aesthetic is pure and simple sculpture without randomness. Everything is graphically very organized and its currently my favorite LOOKING mouse on the market. I just wished it fit my hand. Ultimately if youre a smaller person who can wield a lighter mouse then this is pretty perfect. I think for me next Ill be onto trying a Logitech g903 or G502 and a Razer Deathadder for a bigger size person.

I bought this mouse after my Razer Deathadder started having the dreaded double-click issue that Razer is famous for (look this up on google if you do not know what it is because it will be the biggest factor for you in buying this mouse). After owning this mouse for over 6 months, the Basilisk is also now having the double-click issue. It will randomly double click instead of single click when using it, which is incredibly frustrating for anything you are doing. I am very disappointed since this is an important factor in a mouse. The product looks great and the lights are a great feature, but if the mouse cannot accomplish its basic needs for mouse clicking, we have a giant problem.

I would recommend this mouse to anyone looking to get into gaming of any kind. Its smooth, the grip is amazing, and just feels natural for my hand. Even the software is easy to use and the customizations are simple and clean. The only issue I had with this mouse was my ring and pinky finger when gaming. When playing intense games like fortnite, cs: go, or overwatch, all of the dragging can be uncomfortable on the overhanging fingers. If they could make this mouse have a finger rest on the right side, this mouse would be FLAWLESS.

Love this mouse just two things wrong 1 the siding on the mouse that is more of a rubber texture pealed up but nothing I could not fix with hot glue and there has been no other problems other than that is has been a great mouse!!! Definity recomend it.

This is my second Razer mouse mouse. I bought the original Naga back in 2009, and after almost ten years of use (between gaming and surfing, very consistent use) its just now started to stick. For any hardware to run that long without any real maintenance, is pretty impressive. For that reason alone, I will more than likely never buy anything but a Razer mouse. I was rather hesitant to buy a different mouse type because I absolutely loved my Naga, so I really took my time shopping through the entire Razer lineup. I have gone through ALL OF THEM, and finally ran into the Basilisk. I have made the right decision, and if you are reading this, I strongly urge you do the same. Here are some reasons why: - Hands down, the Basilisk is the most comfortable mouse in Razers lineup. Its size and weight grant comfortable control as well as allowing a variety of different grips in which to wield the mouse. - The strong, confident clicks are satisfying - The adjustable resistance wheel is easy to use, and allows you to customize your roll, whether that be stiff shifting or a smooth flow. - The sensor is second to none, 16,000 is ludicrous to use on a daily basis, but its nice to have the option. Speaking of which, the software allows easy setup and switching of different DPI speeds with the click of a button Now to address the biggest complaint Ive seen with this mouse: the software. Though I cannot speak for other users experiences, I had no real issues. The biggest challenge in setup and customization was that Razer Central, was slightly different than Razer Synapse. Note: Yes, if you have an older Razer keyboard or other Razer hardware, like I do, youll have to run both. Personally, It doesnt effect my system in the slightest, but if your rig is a potato, perhaps you may experience something different. (this should not deter you from considering this fabulous mouse) Continuing on, The software was different, big deal. As of today: 5/12/2018, Razer central is running smoothly. The general customization is set up differently than Razer synapse, but it really only took about 3 min to work out some kinks (which were self-inflicted). In conclusion: If you are looking for an an amazingly comfortable mouse, that is both sexy and righteous, and is unparalleled for multi-functional use (gaming, surfing, and working), Than this is the mouse for you!

I play mostly first-person shooters and World of Tanks, which I guess would be classified as a shooter, and the mouse performs really well. It feels comfortable to use and is slightly on the smaller side, which I like. So to put things into perspective, I wear and buy large gloves, ergo have large hands, and am able to use a palm grip with the mouse. The only downside of the mouse is that they decided to use rubber on the sides. After a while, the rubber becomes slightly tacky to touch, and will never have the new mouse feeling after you clean it.

Overall the mouse works like it should. 1 problem I have is the rgb light does not always turn off when the computer goes to sleep. Will probably have to spend some time with customer support to figure out what is wrong. Ergonomics of the mouse is great. I really like the rest for my thumb which is unique. The switch is very unique.
