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

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.

Forget the Deathadder as the king of shooter games. This feels awkward at first, but on my first try sniping with the special clutch button (makes my reticule stiff) on rainbow six siege ...I got the kill from a difficult position and Im bad at using the sniper. Everything seems great on this mouse. Only issue I have is that the mouse wheel slides forward when I try to click it (even when I tightened it). But I believe that issue has ceased to exist after I broke the mouse in. Will update if it reappears.

+ the ability to change the amount of scroll tension is nice + able to set 5 different dpi settings in +all the buttons are programmable, even macro-able I thought the dpi clutch would be more useful than it really is, to me, the ability to greatly increase or decrease your sensitivity might be more useful to some people.

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.

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.

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.

By far the best mouse Ive ever used. Everything from the button mechanics to the material design and layout is exactly where it should be. High quality optical sensor is a must, and this matches the best Ive seen from logitech and other great mice like the deathadder. Ergonomics are prime for a big handed right hander, and the customizeable features are well executed and useful. Razer synapse 3 is still very beta, and has had its fair share of bugs and kinks that I can only assume are shared between software and firmware. For instance, the basilisk tends to wake my computer from sleep as soon as it starts to sleep without any input from myself. One might think this indicates some amount of sensor jitter, but in game performance and analysis has deemed this sensor terrific and consistent. Removing synapse and reinstalling, plus using different usb ports and disabling wake in device manager has had no effect. I havent been able to test this with other machines, but no other peripheral causes this issue. My desktop sleeps fine with this unplugged, including with any other mouse plugged in. MAYBE this is an isolated issue with my rig and/or mouse, but why it would happen boggles me. If Razer could help me out and find a solution, that would make this mouse a 6/5 instead of a 4/5. TLDR; Ergonomics and design are spot on perfect for my particular use case and hand size, but small isolated firmware issues mean I can no longer sleep my computer. Other users dont seem to have this issue, so for all intents and purposes I rate this a solid 5/5 purchase. Update 7/2019: My scrollwheel fell apart and developed a click, so I contacted Razer for an RMA, which was promptly dealt with and received. Good service all around. Now, within 60 days of that RMA, my new mouse has developed a similar scroll wheel click and rubbing feel in certain spots. I believe there is the same piece of plastic broken off as my previous model. Im not sure I want to redo an RMA, as Im just worried this will happen again. I treat my mice well, afaik this happened with the mouse in my backpack, maybe the scroll wheel took some pressure somehow, Im not sure. My deathadder also had its wheel die in a backpack, so maybe razer has some QA problems with their wheels, or my backpack eats mice. Dropping my rating to 3 stars because the awesome scroll wheel has dependability problems twice over.

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.

Slight problem with using hyper shift, lost control of button assignments. Called help desk and problem was resolved for now after 15 to 20 minutes and removing and reinstalling synapse 3. I dont mess with hypershift any more. Nice mouse, I use it for Fortnite and I have two Logitech mice. G602 and MX performance. Solid feel for someone with medium large hands and quite comfortable for hours. Never have had any problems with my playing hand using this mouse.

Out of the box, this mouse was set to a really low DPI. Still fairly precise, but every PC gamer knows that high DPI and low in-game sensitivity is ideal. Also, polling rate should be as high as possible (in this case, its 1,000 Hz). So I installed the Razer software. It was kinda complex, not gonna lie...but I figured it out eventually, and I figured out more recently than Id like to admit that the sensitivity stages are activated by the buttons on the top (right by the scroll-wheel). Very useful for older games that have super-high sensitivity. So after I tested everything, I was able to move my mouse super-fast and it was tracking my movement ezpz. (Thats the main reason why I actually bought this mouse, actually: the one I had before, a generic, wireless office mouse, was okay-ish with tracking; but I couldnt flick at all with it.) Now, the Basilisk doesnt exactly have ten thousand buttons on it, but I personally like the simplicity as someone who very much prefers to play FPS games over anything else. It also helps quite a bit with ergonomics...though since my hands are quite large, I wish they would make an XL edition still lol. And the last point, being material quality: I feel as though the plastic on this thing could chip without too much effort. Although I wouldnt worry too much, since a mouse like this deserves to be under good care anyhow.
