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

The size is perfect. Ive used over 20 mice including the top G-Pro, SteelSeries Rival series, DeathAdder Elite, Zowie, you name it... this is by far my favorite. I was skeptical about the shape at first, but man its comfortable and grown on me. My problem with other similar ones such as Logitechs G502, was that it was too bulky and buttons felt cheap. This one is perfect, along with its weight, and its just smooth/accurate. I mainly play CS:GO, PUBG, and Overwatch at high levels. Great mouse, and super underrated. If you like the G-Pro size, or G502, then you will love this.

Just bought the Basilisk and Ive been using the mouse for about a week now. Productivity software and some FPS gaming. Pros: As a user of generic (free) OEM mice, this was a huge change. It took some getting used to, but the mouse is definitely a huge improvement. I paired it with a new Razer Destructor 2 mousepad, it is a completely different experience. I initially thought the DPI clutch is a little gimmicky, but it has its moments depending on your use cases. Highly customizable, and it has a good feel in the hand. The ambitions of the mouse software its paired with are high, but... Cons: The new Synapse software. I realize its in its beta stages, but it makes the experience a frustrating one. Im running Windows 10. Ive received one Synapse software update since I started using it, and both versions are very buggy. So far, the app has crashed multiple times just trying to use its core functionality, the sensitivity buttons on the top have stopped working and its forgotten about my profile until I rebooted, and the color scheme has a mind of its own. Verdict: Great mouse, but give them a little more time before using the new version of the Synapse software. It could make the difference between being truly impressed and being frustrated.

I just really like this mouse. I had so much decision fatigue shopping for mice- once I finally landed on the basilisk i was so relieved. It conforms to my hand perfectly and its very accurate. I really like the thumb macro button that you can remove/modify to be longer or shorter. Great for specific games where you can bind a skill so you can cast without changing your WASD pathing.

Every morning I wake up to soft sounds from my computer fans just to see how shes working. This guy is super quiet for a mouse and can keep up with my gaming easily. He sits right next to my computer as advertised. Sometimes the mouse misbehaves because it was bought used; I assumed this as I payed much less. When this happens I get a little upset and throw the mouse. My mom later comes in and complains about the fit I had just released. I assure you and her that there hasnt been any issues with the mouse after throwing it against the wall a few times. The mouse now keeps its position right next to my computer. Since the throwing, It hasnt even made a peep. It was fun while it lasted though right? Once it starts to smell, you should throw it out. Mice carry disease. Overall good mouse.

Ive had my Basilisk for about a year and ever since about two weeks in Ive noticed a subtle shift in quality. It occasionally disconnects on its own, Synapse lags up and the buttons on the sides dont work (then it bursts for each lost input) or it outright refuses to function normally. These are pretty rare now, but a month or two ago it started double-clicking for no reason, or dropping held clicks. Now it clicks whenever it so pleases, and the left click button has a slight jiggle to it. The mouse hasnt been dropped. I dont use it rough enough for it to fall apart like this from light use, especially when my last one lasted longer. Sometimes youre just unlucky... While I wait for my Steelseries mouse to ship in, I set my LMB to be disabled while left mouse click is set to the side buttons.

Ive been using this mouse to replace my Naga Trinity. First, let me start by saying that this mouse is very comfortable. The thumb rest feels comfortable, yet grabs a grip when you need it to. It also feels very responsive, especially when Im playing Rainbow Six Siege. My only confusion is Ive had this mouse for less then a few months, and that rubber where my thumb rests is already beginning to come off the plastic frame. Not a huge deal, some gorilla glue will take care of that just fine, but a little concerning that its already beginning to peel just after a few months of use. I expect a little better durability from a $70 gaming mouse, Razer.

The software allows you to make small changes in DPI and to adjust all buttons to anything you want them to do. You can also adjust the colors to do some fun effects when you click or move. I would recommend this to anyone who likes gaming. Use the side mouse buttons to free up your fingers on the left hand. I am now leaning left and right with the mouse thumb in PubG and its really helping me move and adjust faster.

My old mouse broke, and I needed a new one. I was looking for a mouse that had a clutch or some sort of precision button to provide a bit more pinpoint accuracy and I decided to get this one. This is the only Razer product I have, most of my peripherals have been Corsair, but I love this mouse. The Razer Central and Synapse for calibrating the different lighting effects is extremely simple to navigate. You can change the colors and effects easily to cycle whatever you want. You can also set what the mouse buttons actually do and make it specific to which program youre in, so you can set the mouse button 4 to a number key for one game, and to a letter for a different game, and never have to actually change the profile. I am a big fan of this mouse and would suggest it to almost anyone.

This is a great mouse for the price! I love the ergonomic shape especially since I have big hands! I really like the synapse 3 software, it’s pretty cool. I am using this with a Razer Cymosa of which I literally just got today, for my job. I work in I.T and we are able to play games sooo I’ll return after a few months of testing these two peripherals out!

I wish it was a little wider, with my last two fingers hanging off my hand will start cramping after too long, but I realize most gaming mice are like this. The reason for 4 star is cause the grip under the thumb keeps popping up, as it it wasn’t taped down as good. This has happened since day one, gets annoying in the middle of a game when it pops ups
