Razer Basilisk V3 - Wired Customisable Gaming Mouse (10+1 Programmable Buttons, HyperScroll Tilt Wheel, 11 Chroma RGB Lighting Zones, Optical Mouse Switches, Focus+ 26K DPI Optical Sensor) BlackECOLOGO

I bought this for my Razer laptop because I hate the software you need for most peripherals, and wanted something that'd work with the already-installed Synapse.While it's no SteelSeries Rival 500 (my preferred wired mouse) in terms of buttons, it doesn't come far off, especially if you chord functionality. It's so much lighter than the Rival 500 though, ridiculously so, and glides very very well. Being able to adjust the resistance/clickiness of the wheel is pretty cool too. I do like this mouse a LOT.There's no bluetooth, but you can plug the USB cable in and use it wired. I love the flexibility of the dongle though - either put it in your machine, or use the included braided USB cable to plug the charger in, and plug it into the charger! Pretty awesome. The charger stand's actually good for holding the mouse while it's tilted past 45 degrees, so great for using on a non-level surface. Battery life's easily good for a few days use, so realistically it should never run out since all you need to do is drop the mouse on the charger then lift it off again. One hand. Why wouldn't you when you're done?Now the software, Synapse. It's pretty good when it works, but there's times it doesn't. Either the app crashes, or the service crashes, or it runs 100% cpu, or it doesn't detect when you're starting or switching to an app/game you have a specific razer profile for. And unless I've missed something, if you have a specific Razer profile for an app/game there's no way of getting rid of the annoying "switching profiles" overlay you get on-screen when you switch to or from it.I'm not going to penalise this for the software though, as firstly ALL peripheral software sucks - Logitech, Razer, Corsair, NZXT, SteelSeries... They're universally awful. There's still a chance that it could be improved though, unlike the hardware you're buying now.If I were to need a new mouse for a Razer laptop, I'd buy this again in a heartbeat. For anything else including desktop I think it'd be a pretty tough choice - which means I can only give this five stars!Oh, and the packaging's 10/10. Very robust, loads of foam, magnetic closing. Bit bulky for travelling (160x180x80) but if storage is a consideration for your use case, the box is great.

I recently upgraded to the Razer Basilisk V3, and I couldn’t be happier! The ergonomics are perfect, making it super comfortable for long gaming sessions. The customizable buttons are a game-changer, and the Hyperscroll wheel is insanely smooth. The RGB lighting looks incredible, and the performance is top-notch with its 26K DPI sensor.Whether for gaming or everyday use, this mouse is responsive, precise, and feels premium. Definitely worth the price! If you’re considering an upgrade, get this mouse—you won’t regret it!

The media could not be loaded. This mouse is the best mouse I have ever bought between several other amazing choices by far. The LED lighting on the mouse and is customisable by downloading the razer software making it even better although on mac it doesn't download. The side buttons are amazing 2 out of the 3 work on games I play and the clicks are very satisfying and smooth. The mouse wheel is another level of amazingness, it can do 5 functions and it can do a free scroll and mechanical which means it gives feedback or a click. Overall amazing again from razer and this is definitely a must buy if you are considering this

This was the first time that I have bought this brand of a mouse, and overall I am impressed.I read through the small pamphlet that was supplied with the mouse but I had to find the software that I needed to use with it myself, not mentioned or guided to a website within the manual. It is the "Razer Synapse" software which provides you with the settings needed. I am using Windows 10.With that installed you can then customise many aspects of the mouse functions, even using the button above the scroll wheel will adjust the DPI of the mouse in use. See my second photo showing the visual indication of your DPI settings when you press this.My first photo shows the back removed of the mouse and the single AA battery fitted. You can also find the USB dongle you will need for the Wireless support.Using the mouse is superb, very responsive with positive clicks that aren't too loud or needing much effort. They are positive tho and no false clicks have been observed.Setting up of the mouse with BT can be tricky, however much of this can be dependant on your BT transmitter and not just the receiver within the mouse. My motherboard uses BT but the range and connection issues means that I prefer the wireless option.BUT you need to use BT to update future firmware, if released. Checking and mine had the latest already.Initially I had a problem where this mouse failed to wake from sleep. Eventually, see photo 3, I discovered that I needed to disable sleep functions on the two shown aspects of the mouse within device manager, otherwise it would often fail to wake.A rare continuing problem, hence the four stars, is that the mouse will fail to respond. It will leave a stuck cursor on the scree. No particular reason that I can see and no pattern as yet to observe. If that does happen removing the wireless dongle does not help, only removing the battery and then reinserting it brings the function of the mouse back to life. That is a very rare event tho and certainly not a deal breaker for me.See photo 4 for a screenshot of the first page of the software used with the mouse. Many options are available in various tabs.Overall I do recommend this mouse, both the build quality and its function is great.I am happy with this purchase.I do hope that this review has helped you.happy shopping :)

This is a great mouse. I needed precision, lightweight, programmable buttons in a well built device. To me the mouse should be invisible in your workflow; it works so well you don't notice it. No, accidental double clicks and sureness with minimal moving. I never really knew how much the Logitech MX 1 was annoying me, until I replaced it due to heft and badly positioned (for my hands) side buttons.
