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

I would recommend this mouse to anyone looking to get into gaming of any kind. Its smooth, the grip is amazing, and just feels natural for my hand. Even the software is easy to use and the customizations are simple and clean. The only issue I had with this mouse was my ring and pinky finger when gaming. When playing intense games like fortnite, cs: go, or overwatch, all of the dragging can be uncomfortable on the overhanging fingers. If they could make this mouse have a finger rest on the right side, this mouse would be FLAWLESS.

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.

I love this mouse. It fits in my hand perfectly, its nice and fat yet lightweight. The Lights on it are good, its extremely responsive. The DPI clutch is very useful, but its fun. The clicks feel good, and the two side buttons feel great. I like to use the wheel as an input, so I have the resistance on it cranked WAY up, making the scroll wheel feel like, clicky and precise input. I’d recommend getting a really nice solid mousepad, like the Razer firefly, because they make this mouse glide perfectly.

Great mouse. Love the trigger button. Couldnt game without this mouse. Dont like the software much but eh, Id say its worth it. BUT IF YOU HAVE A CAT - be warned. This mouse (and all razer products) have those really nice shoe-lace type wires. Built for being really durable.... except if you have a cat. My cat treats those wires like crack. Every time I leave my room door open and take a shower or whatever - I come out and my cat has chewed through the wire (not only happened with this mouse, but first happened with the Kraken headphones.... not once but twice and now THREE TIMES including this mouse).... and I know what your thinking.. .duh - your cat ate the mouse.... -_- I kind of wish you could choose between classic wires or the durable shoe-lace wires but definitely not Razers fault. JUST BE WARNED IF YOU HAVE A CAT. Luckily my motherboard protects itself against a electrical short or else it might have fried some things. I ran to my local Bestbuy today to replace it (less than 24hrs later) because I have become to dependent on the trigger button for aiming in videogames - I could have managed a round or two without it but couldnt bring myself to risk it.

(first couple days of using it, the scroll wheel broke but, for fairness it doesnt subtract any stars. Just something to keep in the back of your head) It was the perfect mouse for me I came from a Cyber Power mouse, Not the perfect mouse but still good for what i needed it to do. When I ordered this 3 days ago i fell in love. I got a lot more precise with aiming in games like CS:GO and Rainbow Six Siege, and when you pick it up it doesnt move the cursor so if you pick it up to do another 180 turn, your accuracy doesnt go rotten. And you can pick how hard your mouse scroll is, and on the smoothest setting its very satisfying just scrolling down a web page. On the hardest setting though, you can switch your weapons with out loosing control and slide through your inventory just to land on the same item. So I recommend this for a general use mouse because the dpi clutch can make your clicks very accurate for clicking or cropping photos like in Photo Shop or Paint.net. You can turn off the lights if you dont want to made fun of by your coworkers classmates etc. but, everything is better with rgb so why the hell would you do that? Just turn it on full brightness (which is pretty bright) and block the haters. The synapses software was pretty simple but it is sorta buggy.

The Razer Basilisk is an excellent, highly rated mouse. You can also get it for a great price here on Amazon. I was excited to finally get a copy of it in hand. Unfortunately, my thumb is too big to fit on the left side of the mouse without depressing the forward and back buttons. Without the thumb rest, it would have been fine as the Basilisk is a fairly good sized mouse. However, as it is, it just does not work and I had to return it. I still think its a great mouse and highly recommend it.

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.

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.

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 purchased this Razer Basilisk gaming mouse last April. Works great! Nine months later, the wheel button became insensitive to clicks when zooming in-and-out. I got hold of Razer warranty support. After a few email exchanges, I was instructed to ship the mouse to them. After receiving it, they shipped me a new replacement. Thank you.
