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

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.

Have had this mouse for a month now. If I had realized That yesterday was the last day to set up a return I would have done so. The left button is a big issue. After only a month of use and half the time the left clicker no longer works or multi clicks which makes gaming and work difficult. It is very frustrating. Not impressed with this mouse and a bit irritated I am going to have to purchase a new mouse already due to this ones failures. I give it the three stars though based on comfort and lighting.

A fantastic mouse all around, as most Razer mice are. The sensitivity clutch is brilliant. I dont play many FPS games, its intended purpose, but even for creative work, fine editing of graphics and documents, its a wonderful feature to have. Very easy to use, yet totally out of the way when not needed. The Razer Synapse 3.0 software however, is a step back from the previous version. Before you could set the rate at which the mouse movement accelerates, and with this mouse and the new software, you can only set a fixed DPI rather than one that will scale with longer mouse movements. Not a big deal, but its still a disappointment to see a feature regression like that.

This mouse feels great! The fit in my hand alone is super satisfying. The razor software is another thing..I could never it to install on my computer, so I just left it alone because I was ready to play. Maybe Ill try to redownload it one day. I only wish I had a couple more button on the side, but for the price...the DPI is unmatched

Ive been looking to replace my Logitech G9X for several years as it began to show its age. The problem? Finding another mouse that worked for larger hands with a side grip/hand rest on it and my preferred button configuration. After years of searching and almost being resigned to paying way too much for another G9X on eBay, I found this mouse and decided to give it a try. After using it for several weeks for both gaming (ARPG, 4X strategy, RTS) and work use, I finally have a replacement for my 11 year old G9X. If youre looking for a replacement and you dont like the Logitech G502 (which I didnt - just didnt work for my hands but still a great mouse) this is my recommended choice. The only missing element is the fact that the Basilisk does not have weight tuning like the G9X did but I find it to be a good mid-range weight and with the crazy-high DPI available on the Basilisk almost a non-issue.

I am a right handed person that started to have problems with my right hand. I have switched to using a left-hand mouse and my pain had decreased. I have tried a few other left-handed mouses for Mac computers and was not happy with them. This one I plugged in and it was working. I downloaded Razer Synapse and I am able to make changes with the different buttons to suit me. I am very happy with my mouse.

Love it! Im replacing a CM Storm Havoc (not made anymore) which worked well but was a little too wide. The Basilisk is narrower, fits my (female) hand better. I love the ability to change the resistance of the wheel. The wheel is rubber-coated and easy to grip, and has a soft ratchet sound. The mouse itself slides over my desk with almost no sound, the feet are super-slippery. Rubber on the sides makes it easy to pick up when needed. I also like the Synapse software - had no problems that others have reported. I love the LEDs and the ability to set it for a very slow cycle through all colors. The wheel looks like a Tron light cycle wheel - very cool.

So Ive had this mouse for about a year now, and I do very much like it. It feels good in my hand, and was a decent purchase when it was on sale for about $45.00 when I bought it. Now however it is back up to $70.00, and after a year of use there are some issues with the mouse. First of all, after maybe 5 or 6 months of use a small piece of plastic inside of the scroll wheel mechanism broke. I dont know how. I would try to open it up and fix it myself, but I know almost nothing about computer mice, and I was surprised to find that the scroll wheel worked perfectly, and it could even be adjusted still. I thought nothing of it. Then after another 2 months or so, I started to notice that there were inconsistencies when scrolling. For example, if I am scrolling down at a medium pace, then I slow down, the next few scrolls will scroll much longer. I didnt use to do this before (or at least I didnt notice). Then a week later, the middle mouse click started to act up. Now you have to press on it with much more force than any other mouse owned. Its not horrible. The force required to press middle mouse isnt really much more, I just wish it hadnt happened. Im not going to buy a new $70.00 mouse because of this. Also, as noted in someone elses review, the little rubber piece on the left side of the mouse feels like it is peeling off. It hasnt every come off, it just doesnt feel like its attached very well in the corner. I noticed this after only a week. Its only been 1 year, what is going to happen after another? Hopefully this is the extent of quality issues, and Ill be able to keep using this mouse for at least a few more years. Ive had worse things happen to mice, but as this is a $70.00 product Im disappointed. Also the software is annoying, but this has already been said in other reviews. These are only small things, and the mouse is still really good. It can be really sensitive for FPS games and what not, but also a lot less sensitive for regular use. I like the mouses multi-function paddle. I use it to slow down the DPI when pressed, so when Im trying to accurately click on something, I have much more control. Overall, the mouse is very customize-able, and nice to use. However the build quality of the scroll wheel seems to have some problems, and the software is a bit garbage. Good buy, but even better if on sale.

Only reason I dont give five stars is Razer Synapse 3, which is needed to make full use of its features. When it isnt working the dpi clutch doesnt work. Neither does control of the RGB among other things. Its not the most stable software and occasionally just stops working, sometimes requiring a full system reset to work again. Not a deal breaker by any means, though.

Upgraded from a $15 Zelotes Mouse The fit was like the Razer Naga, so moving from there to here takes time to adapt This mouse is for the people who has no preference, as you can switch from being a palm grip to claw grip if needed. Love the middle button resistance, being high resistance for gaming and low for web-surfing Still getting used to the sniper button The school WiFi blocked the download for Razer Synapse 3, so I cant really change anything, so for now, plug & play.
