- A: AnswerYes, it's normal for the mouse to click when booting your PC. The click you hear is the scroll wheel lock activating when the mouse receives power, so nothing to be concerned about! I had the same question before I realized what it is.

Excellent mouse for the price, but bad software.
I've had a few versions of the Basilisk over the years, first the Basilisk essential, then the overpriced but good Basilisk Ultimate (Wireless). So this is my third Basilisk and it sits in the middle price wise of my first two. The V3 is very solid, buttons/clicks feel very good all around, although maybe a pinch more force needed than my Ultimate..but that could also be the amount of use that has smoothened out the buttons on the ultimate. Overall feel and function from the texture of the mouse and click/buttons are very good. Texture is significantly more aggressive than both. Could be personal taste but I enjoy it a lot. Lighting is very nice, although I don't use razers software because it uses far too much of my CPU and noticably affects my gaming experience including stutters and lower frames per second. I use Signal RGB if anyone's wondering. Overall better experience and less intensive on the computer in most cases. I'm hopeful the mouse will last me a long time as my other Basilisks have. I do recommend this one the most out the 3 total I now have. It is priced very reasonably for the features and quality you're getting. Just don't download the software or use it. Razer you need to stop trying to force your bloatware on me. -1 point for that behavior.

Great feel, look, and price!
Got this to replace a Microsoft mouse that had died on me. I'd wanted a mouse that could be used for gaming but could comfortably be used for a palm grip. This model had come up on several ranked lists from a variety of sites, and when I tried the feel in-store, I really liked the feel! I've been using it for three months now and it feels sturdy, love the RGB, and I've enjoyed the performance! I haven't had much experience with gaming mice up until now, so I can't say how it compares relative to others like that, but as someone just getting into PC gaming I've really liked it.
