Overkill for my needs but feature-packed
IntroI recently picked up the Razer Basilisk V3, and I’m blown away. Even though I didn’t need a gaming mouse, this one stood out for its features and price, which beat the pricey Logitech MX Master lineup. It’s a fantastic value and has become my new favorite desk companion.OverviewThe Basilisk V3 is a joy to use. Its ergonomic design, customizable buttons, and satisfying scroll wheel make it a productivity powerhouse, even for non-gamers. And let’s talk about the RGB lighting—it’s completely unnecessary but so cool. Customizing it has been more fun than I expected!That said, there’s a slight learning curve with Razer’s Synapse software, but it’s worth investing the time. Once you tweak the settings, you unlock the full potential of this mouse, and it makes a real difference.Final ThoughtsMy only gripe? I wish it were a tad bit bigger—an “XL” or more productivity-focused version would be amazing. But for the price and features, this mouse is unbeatable. Whether you’re gaming or just working, the Basilisk V3 delivers serious bang for your buck. I’ll be getting at least one more (to pair with other computers). Highly recommend!

So far, so good
Five stars SO FAR.I tried this mouse for my gaming box to replace a Kinesis Vector RGB mouse because of the endemic button-switch bounce problem that all Vectors seem to develop alarmingly quickly. Truth to tell, it has many more buttons than I prefer, and I haven’t figured out what half of them do yet. Like the Vector, it has multiple hardware tracking/sampling DPI rates, and can cycle between them with a button press; *unlike* the Vector, it provides no visual indication of what its DPI rate is currently set to. It is responsive and extremely comfortable, though it takes a bit of counter-intuitive jumping through hoops to get the Razer Synapse configuration software set up. I ended up using Synapse to set it to a usable speed because I was trying to set the speed with the wrong button. It doesn’t help that the nearly microscopic print on the user guide sheet is not kind to older eyes.Its scroll button does side-scroll as well as vertical, and can be set to either ‘tactile’ or free-spinning at the touch of a button — though personally I do not like free-spinning mouse wheels. They make it far too easy to ACCIDENTALLY spin when you didn’t want to.*OF COURSE*, as is all too common these days, you cannot set up Razer Synapse without creating and logging into a Razer account. Dear Razer and all the rest of you, PLEASE STOP DOING THIS, it is intrusive and irritating and does not earn you any love. If I’d REMEMBERED that Razer did this, I might not have bought the Razer mouse. I will ALWAYS choose a product that DOES NOT require a vendor account login over an equivalent one that does. *ALWAYS*. It’s past time tech corporations stopped treating their customers’ eyeballs and personal information as the PRODUCT.Overall, the Basilisk seems well designed and well constructed, and very reasonably priced for what it is. I’ve very quickly gotten used to it, and it is definitely a better replacement for the Vector with its switch-bounce problems. (Getting a double-click generated when you intended to click once can range from annoying to actively destructive.)

Mouse muito bom, com switches ópticos, boa ergonomia e bem preciso. Um pouco pesado mas depois que acostumei está perfeito.

Es un raton caro, pero muy bueno. Tengo el inalambrico y compre este para usarlo en la consola, es decir, que es el segundo que compro pero no inalambrico, asi que, muy contento con esta marca y modelo.

L’ergonomie de cette souris est incroyable ! Bon réglages simple et efficace. Le tout pour un prix tout à fait abordable.
