Razer Basilisk V3 Customizable Ergonomic Gaming Mouse: Fastest Gaming Mouse Switch - Chroma RGB Lighting - 26K DPI Optical Sensor -Classic Black

I was a long time use of Logitech with the G502 or MX Master. I had several issues with them like left button double clicking automatically and so was upset by it. If I used Logitech it was mainly for the infinite scroll. I discovered that this mouse also support infinite scroll and has overall the same features as the G502. On top it works with bluetooth removing the need from using the dongle if you dont want to. So I got this one and it works well, at least with bluetooth. I had issue with the dongle but as bluetooth work well I am fine with it.

Very light, as its wired. I think some of my other equipment was interfering with the wireless mouse I had been using. Feels comfortable in my hand.

Its super smooth and buttons are very clicky and satisfying.

better than g502

The mouse is great, but the battery percentage only refreshes if you restart it (bottom switch, takes around 1 second), which includes the case when it is already charged out of the low battery zone. The extra features (macros for example) can’t be saved on the mouse itself and require their software. They also don’t work if it’s being charged with a cable.

I love this mouse! I have a claw grip typically, but interestingly enough with this mouse I use a full palm grip. Its very comfortable even with long gaming sessions and combined with the razer Goliath pad it GLIDES. I did get one that was DOA, and even though the manual says to contact Razer for support NOT Amazon or the seller, after a lot of back and forth I happily went through Amazon for a replacement instead. The second one came in and worked perfectly so I wont dock a star, it happens.

I bought this mouse 7 months ago so. It was *amazing* until it wasnt: A few days ago the middle mouse button stopped clicking. I took razers advice and ran through their steps to try to fix it, but its a hardware failure. Out of curiosity, I googled the issue before I decided if I was going to bother RMAing the device: Everything I found pointed to this failure of the scroll wheel click being not just a common problem on the Basilisk Pro, but on MOST of Razers mice. They cheap out on the non-optical switches they use, of which that button is one, and as a result they fail *all the time*. So no, Im not RMAing the mouse. Im tossing it and going back to the G502 it replaced that Ive been using for like 8 years with no problem. I thought it was time to upgrade and I love Razers keyboards, so I figured Id be good. I was wrong on all counts.

Aside from lacking two of the buttons that the G502 has, the Basilisk v3 performs very well for about the same price, has a bunch of potentially useful features, and the optical switches seem less likely to fail than the physical ones that regularly go bad for certain Logitech mice. I found my soldering iron, so I may go back and swap out the switches on my old G502, but right now I think Im set for my needs.

There are some pretty significant changes from the V2. Some of them are upgrades, but some of them are downgrades. The sensitivity clutch is now integrated into the mouse as a non-removable button that feels incredibly stiff and has a lot more resistance. I definitely view this as a downgrade and wouldve preferred the V2 clutch, mainly because it was removable and its click resistance was comparable to the scroll wheel click. Mouse sensitivity swapping is now relegated to a single button that toggles between all of the sensitivity stages. The V2 had two buttons: one for increasing and one for decreasing the sensitivity stage. The scroll wheel has probably changed the most. For starters, its not as easy to accidentally press the dreaded left and right scroll wheel clicks as the V2, which is perfect for me since my hand isnt perfectly parallel to my mouse. Razer also removed the scroll wheel resistance slider and opted for a button to toggle between free spin (infinite scroll) and tactile (normal scroll) modes. This button is conveniently located right behind the scroll wheel, which used to be the button to increase the sensitivity stage of the mouse. Unfortunately, its also no longer possible to fully customize the scroll wheel resistance, unlike the V2 which had a scroll wheel on the bottom of the mouse. In Razer Synapse, there are also options like Smart Reel, which toggles free spin when you flick the scroll wheel and then switches back to tactile when theres no movement. Personally, I left this setting disabled because it seems a bit sensitive to how fast you move the scroll wheel, not necessarily if you flick it. The extra RGB lightbar on the bottom of the mouse is really cool and produces a halo effect on the bottom of the mouse. However, Razers software is still garbage when it comes to customizing the RGB. Overall, the most noticeable changes boil down to the scroll wheel and the sensitivity clutch. Compared to the V2, the V3 has infinite scrolling, which is nice for long webpages or documents, but you lose the ability to customize the scroll resistance altogether. If you need/want a sensitivity clutch for gaming (like to slow down your aim while sniping), you will definitely want to stick with the V2. I cannot recommend the V3 to anyone who uses the sensitivity clutch. With that said, I would recommend this more than the Logitech G502 Hero mainly because the Basilisk V3 uses optical switches, which dont suffer from double-clicking, and it has the same infinite scrolling feature.

Wow this is a stunning mouse. I always liked heavy gaming mice more than light ones but this has swayed my opinion. Not only that but it has a very nice clean look that adds a quality look to any desk. Mouse clicks have depth rather than a sharp pointy click, which I have come to prefer. Mouse buttons 4 and 5 are positioned in a very easy to reach place along with the dpi drop switch. Scroll wheel has a nice light tactile feel to it. The biggest boon however is the mouse scroll switch button which feels very nice to use> You can hear the brakes the scroll wheel has engage and disengage.
