The company does not cooperate properly with Mac and it is Razer's responsibility due to the outdated drivers. It works perfectly on Windows...however, 2 stars because I bought it for use on Mac.
I have had it for a few months now. It works perfectly in terms of hardware, I'm not a big fan of Razer's Synapse, but it offers many different settings which I consider a big plus. However, the reason why I give it 3 stars is not the software or the noise of the scroll wheel, but the poor build quality of the DPI clutch. I think it's a big flaw for Razer to sell a mouse for ~40€, whose main selling point is the DPI clutch, and for it to break within the first 3 months without much use. My previous mouse (Razer Basilisk Original) never had the DPI clutch break even after years of heavy use, and also the DPI clutch on the old one was detachable, something that I particularly missed in the new one. In summary, it is excellent in all aspects, but it is embarrassing for Razer to charge 40€ for a mouse and have such problems with the build quality.
This particular mouse is awesome, first of all the RGB lighting at night is indescribable, in addition the sniper button has helped me a lot because I mainly play fps games and use snipers, its weight is quite close to the deathadder essential (my previous mouse) so I don't find it heavy, in conclusion if you want a very convenient and ergonomic mouse I highly recommend it!
I ordered it thinking it's good, it's a Razer after all, for that money it should be ok. Within 15 days it started acting up with the slightest vibration causing the scroll wheel button to be pressed on its own, resulting in some games or other uses doing their own thing, meaning when you lift and place it back on the mousepad, it presses on its own. I returned it and the store replaced it without any issues. Today I received the new one and it does the exact same thing right away, I don't know if it's the model or this batch but 2 out of 2 is not a coincidence. I have requested a replacement again.
Owner for 3 months + of the mouse and I highly recommend it! They look very good and high quality. You can make several adjustments either in color or in the side buttons, or even in how the scroll wheel moves. Even the razer program is very user-friendly and easy. They fit very well in my hand. Overall, it's awesome!
Well, I will start with the positives:
- I quite like the shape and weight as I have used the g502 in the past, which was heavy and quite narrow as a mouse. I can say that in terms of materials and shape, Razer does more than Logitech.
- The placement of the buttons seems quite good to me and overall it fits very well in the hand even though I have oddly shaped hands.
But now let's move on to the negatives:
- Half a year after using it, the middle click simply broke, meaning it only works when it wants to. I tried repairing the drivers and seeing if it was a Windows problem, but it seems that the issue is with the hardware and it generally has a problem. It's a shame though because I knew that Razer had quite good quality control as I have bought another mouse, a keyboard, and a microphone from the company before, of which, except for the other mouse that broke its click plastic (deathadder v2, also a quite good mouse in my opinion aside from the breaking), they were very good quality. I guess Razer doesn't have it with mice...
The mouse is very good for the time I have it, about a month, fast, beautiful with many settings and options. Some say about the boot that it has an issue with the computer shut down, there is an option that says when the screen has turned off, the mouse turns off automatically so there is no issue! A little strange in the hand the first few days but then the hand gets used to it
In my case, I have had it for several months and overall it is perfect in use and the scroll wheel, etc. seems durable to me.
The issue is different... It causes problems with the boot of the PC. Initially, the PC does not boot unless you unplug the mouse cable... after some time and with experiments and various random actions, I ended up having to unplug other USB devices instead of the mouse in order for the PC to boot, and after a while, magically, I didn't need to disconnect anything anymore... but... when I have the boot screen logo, I have to press a random button for it to proceed and open the PC. And NO, it's not a general issue with motherboards, etc., it's an issue caused specifically by this mouse. I don't have this issue with another mouse. If you search, you will find that many users have this problem on the internet. And the v3 pro has the same issue. Good for its price, but enough with the companies and the product testing already.
The best mouse I have ever bought. The scroll wheel works very well. Great value for money considering it's almost the same as wireless, but it's not wireless :)
The mouse lasted about 2.5 years. I have no complaints personally about the synapse. Very positive that it has memory and you can save your custom setup and change it from the button on the bottom without needing to change it from synapse. Now the mechanism for the scroll wheel, although it looks attractive to the buyer, is very sensitive. It works well but it won't last. Mine broke and whenever I changed it from tactile to free roll, it made a sound as if it was stuck and in the end the switch wouldn't move from inside the scroll wheel. For €50 it's a good purchase but not for many years after 3 years
Everything is perfect, the only downside is that it doesn't have as many dpi as it claims. Personally, it didn't bother me, but it might bother some people
The mouse is very good, sturdy, and very responsive to movements and clicks.
Perhaps the only negative is that when you press the left click, the mouse seems to lift forward, mainly when it is in a claw grip. If the whole hand rests on it due to weight, it does not do it.
I consider the Basilisk V3 to be a good upgrade compared to the V2 that I had before, and I will explain the reasons below. Firstly, it is one of the most comfortable mice I have ever used. It has a very ergonomic shape and fits perfectly in my medium-sized hand, and it is also very lightweight (a matter of personal preference, but I prefer lightweight mice). The cable is very nice and soft. The rubber on the left and right sides provides excellent grip without making the hand sweat. The laser accuracy is fantastic. With a good mousepad, you won't lose any pixels. The primary buttons are also very good. They provide perfect feedback, and I have never had any issues with clicks not registering. It is somewhat noisy, though, which doesn't bother me, but it may not be suitable for someone who wants a silent mouse. The Razer program (Synapse) is very good and extremely easy to learn, allowing you to customize each button as desired. You can assign macros or have them open specific programs or type predefined text. It truly gives you a lot of options. Additionally, the DPI sensitivity range is huge and can be adjusted to your liking. Even the extra button (sniper button) can be useful for both work and gaming once you get used to it. Lastly, I find it quite aesthetically pleasing, and the LEDs add a lot to its appearance (the color of the LEDs can also be adjusted through Synapse).
Now, compared to the V2, the scroll wheel is an excellent upgrade. It feels much more high-quality in terms of construction, provides much better feedback for each step, and is significantly more stable. The V2 had side click functions, but it made the wheel feel very loose, resulting in imprecise scrolling and a cheap feel. Ultimately, after about six months, it started giving us issues, so I returned the mouse for a refund. Additionally, the V3 allows you to adjust the wheel's hardness and has a button for free-wheel scrolling without steps.
The reason I deduct one star is due to the placement of the DPI and free-wheel buttons. They work fine but are very close to the scroll wheel, resulting in accidentally touching them with the back of the finger while scrolling. I have never encountered so many accidental clicks on any other mouse button. It required more attention to detail in the design at that point. Also, in general, the plastic doesn't seem as high-quality, and I'm not sure how well it will hold up over time.
Overall, my experience with this mouse is positive, and I especially appreciate how comfortable it is even after long gaming sessions.
Excellent mouse. Very good in my hand, fits perfectly. It is a long mouse, not intended for claw grip as much, it will suit anyone with a relatively large hand. Its weight is just right for me. As for its aesthetics, it is very nice, the light on the scroll wheel, the logo, and the line on the bottom can be adjusted separately. The cable is braided but very soft (it is not wireless, of course). I highly recommend it (€48).
Starting with the basics, we have a mouse with 3 buttons on the left side, one of which is for reducing sensitivity to around 350-400 dpi. Additionally, we have 3 buttons on the scroll wheel. In the Razer software, you will find a setting for the desired height (from 1 to 3 millimeters) for the sensor to read. It is very accurate in its movements and consistently reads the same distances without fail, so it is quickly and easily accustomed to. Its lighting is beautiful and not at all discreet haha. Finally, it has an electric mechanism for fast scrolling of the scroll wheel. The build quality is very good, but only time will tell.
In my opinion, the worst mouse from Razer. I can't find a reason for someone to prefer this mouse other than aesthetic reasons, RGB, etc. We're talking about a 100-gram mouse in 2023... There are simply many better options for the same money (e.g. Pulsefire Haste)
Very good replacement, I replaced a Naga that lasted me several years but recently it had started to not work properly with the left button. The only downside compared to the Naga is that it doesn't have many side buttons, only 2 and another one which I haven't figured out what it does. At least within games, it doesn't seem like you can adjust it. Other than that, it's very good with software and endless settings for RGB, speed, key pressing, many options in general
It fit very comfortably in my hand from the first moment and I didn't expect it (I have changed several mice every 3 years or so due to wear and tear). It glides perfectly, has very good build quality and materials, and a beautiful lighting. Now, as for the click, it is without annoying noise and has a nice feel. As for the functionality of the scroll wheel, I simply give it a TOP rating in terms of functionality, finger feel, and precision. It just needs to hold up in terms of durability. I highly recommend it not only for gaming.
worth it lads, buy it without hesitation. Buttons that become an extension of your hand, perfectly north and bright RGB, a worthy mouse that will keep you
This mouse is the best you can buy, perfect responsiveness and perfect design, and the RGB is even better. I have one thing to say, if you want a perfect mouse for a relatively good price, this is suitable.
Excellent product! Excellent ergonomics (for large hands), responsiveness, build quality, and many settings! Almost all buttons can be programmed, and you can create a custom setup for any application or game! The feel and functionality are also impeccable for any task you do on the computer...
So, the mouse is maybe one of the nicest looking ones I have seen and its RGB is very good and bright. I like that you can combine colors on the bottom and top. BUT.. there is one issue. The SYNAPSE application for this specific model has problems and you can't save the lighting you will set, so every time you open the PC you have to do it all over again and that is the most boring thing. Big downside.. from there on, personally, I will go back to the Deathadder I had before.. it doesn't suit me as much as I would like for gaming because it doesn't cover my whole palm. Ultimately, it's difficult to change something you're used to. I wouldn't say I recommend the mouse because most people who consider it will have the issue with the RGB I mentioned above.
Excellent change after using the G502 Hero for several years. It is lighter, with a more solid click (because the click on the G502 hero breaks after a short period of time, from one to two years. That's why I changed it twice. Now we'll see how long this one will last, but it looks quite promising) and responds much better to movement and aiming. Overall, very satisfied. I recommend it.
I have small hands, but it's very convenient. The RGB is very powerful which helps me see my keyboard at night where it's not backlit. It was worth it.
I got it as an upgrade to the well-known Deathadder v2. I really like it much more. I can feel in my hand that it is more sturdy with a better grip that hugs the palm. It has a very nice design with better lighting. The gaming buttons are more aggressive with better clicks and sound. The scroll wheel is definitely superior. The button for the sniper also helps. I don't regret it at all, it's worth the money as it has covered me in all areas. I recommend it to anyone who wants a very nice and high-quality mouse with many functions that will suit most in the gaming field. Simply awesome.
The best mouse I have ever held in my hands,
- The scroll wheel, besides the 2 modes, tactical and freespin like the G502, also clicks left and right, which may be useful for some.
- It has a sniper button, which when held down, has a specific sensitivity that you can adjust in Synapse.
A beautiful mouse that is quite comfortable in the hand. The ability to switch to Free Spin is very convenient. Personally, the Smart Reel did not work well for me as it entered Free Spin too easily. The wheel buttons are easy to press, making them quite user-friendly. However, the additional side button did not work well for me as it is too far from my thumb.
Overall, it is a pretty good mouse for its price, and time will tell its durability.
