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

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.

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.

I own the Razer Deathadder Elite, Razer Mamba TE, now the Razer Basilisk, and my roommate has every generation Razer Naga. If FPS games is what you play the Basilisk is great, you can use the DPI clutch as anything but i use it to drop my DPI to 400. Another good use is to use it to speed up your dpi when you are running around so you can do 360s and 180s instantly. The deathadder is bigger which works for me because i have a big hand, the mamba is similar and has the side scroll feature which is awesome but ultimately the extra button and smaller size of the baasilisk makes it faster. Your ring finger and pinky hold the side... this is best for a hybrid palm/claw grip or a claw grip.

I finally got synapse 3 to work on windows 8 with this mouse... Fresh install of windows 8 -> Update windows 8 the whole way -> Install chrome -> Install synapse 3 -> Restart computer -> Enjoy your new crazy awesome mouse... A list of things that may cause problems: - Antivirus - Not updating OS whole way - Bad MOBO USB drivers - Corrupted download of synapse Comment on my review if you have problems and Ill try to get back to you...

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.

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.

After a month I was getting an Intermittent Mouse click. (At first I though Going through Amazon for a return, but then its not their fault) So RAZER Support. RMA process is a NIGHTMARE! I submitted an RMA, They replied with about 20 things to do and I did them. Then waited and and waited. Daily I wrote back. After 2 weeks I got a Please Submit Logs files. So I submitted them. Waited. Asked daily 7 Weeks later I got a Letter, Saying MY NEW Support Ticket is now a new Number. Waited waited. Asked and Asked on Status (Daily) Weeks after that I got a reply what my RMA was Submitted and I will receive a Label to return it. A week after that I got a RMA Label Shipped it I think 2 weeks ago, Last week they said they have assigned a new one to be shipped out. But I have yet to receive a Notice. Meanwhile of course I BOUGHT NEW MOUSE Who can go without a mouse for 4 months or more? (Its been so long I cant remember how long) I honestly would have been better doing a return to AMAZON. Dear RAZER, Love your Products but who ever is in charge of RMAs and Support FIRE THEM! ASAP! Update 9/22/2020: finally received the Replacement Mouse - 5 MONTHS LATER. Needless to say I bought another Mouse. I wish it would have failed within the Return date from Amazon. If you do buy this, pray it fails quickly.. (If it fails again, its trash time, and Logitech gets my business forever.)

To be honest, I gave up using the clutch as a DPI manipulation after roughly 2 months. Im just fundamentally against the idea of forcing your muscle memory to adapt to separate camera/aim sensitivities with another action. This mouse is fantastic, just be sure to analyze the shape of the grip before buying. Im a long time user of Razer, Roccat, and Logitech and I always seem to rebound to Razer that can maintain perfect sensor accuracy and durability for years. If youve used Razer Deathadders, this is similar, though sits higher and allows your thumb to rest inside the groove. The Basilisk is definitely worth a try if youre looking for something slightly heftier than the Deathadder. Precision: 10 Shape: 9 Weight: 7 Software: 5 Button placement: 8 Longevity: 9

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 have had the Razer Deathadder Elite mouse for just a few months now and I have begun to get what I am now finding out is common squeaking noise when you scroll down on the page with the page scroll wheel. After looking it up and seeing other videos with the exact same issue I am unable to find a solution to fix it. Besides that the mouse functions as expected for now but if there is such a common issue after such a short usage time I can only imagine other issues in the future. For a premium priced product I would expect much higher quality. Sadly this will be the last Razer product I buy for quite a while I expect. The expected quality of products I have seen from Razer recently I have purchases (keyboards, mouses, gaming keypads eg: Orbweaver Chroma) etc. Have all dropped way down. Time to find a different brand overall sadly.
