Another review with a bad receiver dongle. Bought mine instore. Used it for a little while wired and love the mouse. Its a shame Razer is having horrible quality control with these receivers, I would love to be able to use this mouse.

I enjoy the mouse the only thing that sucks is there's no charging dock for it available anywhere

From the reviews ive saw and from the previous one i had none rgb this one looked awesome didnt get to use it because they ahipped it to me and the box was a bit damange and it looked opened so i didnt even bothered i went and took it to the store for a refund

The grip of this mouse is amazing! The smart scroll is also a time saver! I love this mouth

This mouse must weigh 400 grams, it is very uncomfortable and above all its wireless is very bad

Dead after 2 months. Most of the time, I used the mouse plugged in with usb c cable. As of this review, I went back to my trusty Logitech mouse that has never let me down. This will be the last Razer product I buy. Their quality has diminished over the years. Their keyboards do not fair much better....

Great mouse with a ton of features! This really is more than just a gaming mouse.

Randomly stops working for a few seconds while im using it.

Just like everyone else. Dongle is DOA. Exchanged once already and only works intermittently. Be better razer. Especially for $160. Pure trash

Same experience as the other reviewers. Wireless dongle does NOT work at all. This is my second purchase that I will unfortunately have to return because of the Razer's terrible QC

Great mouse with nice lights and has a nice lightweight feel

The button function for the wheel registers only about 20% of the time. You have to really manhandle it to get it to register a hit.

Use it for work and gaming. I have small hands and it's comfortable.

Bought this mouse the day it dropped, within the first week it wouldnt charge while plugged in and using the device it had to be off to charge. And then the 2nd week the dongle quit working.... think i. Done with razer after 20 years of buying products and being burnt.

same thing as other reviews the 2.4 wireless doesnt work, mine doesnt even connec to bluetooth

Mouse was defective out of the box. Would not work corded, Bluetooth or wireless so was returned

Wireless dongle didn’t work or pair to any of my devices.

Discharge super fast, and cant turn off the lights

Wireless dongle doesn’t work, Disconnected and doesn’t wanna pair through razers horrible software.

I've always really looked at Razer as a company that's laser focused on their gaming products. But with the latest version of the Basilisk, they seem to be making a point that they can handle every day productivity tasks just as well. And while it still wears its gamer identity on its sleeve, it's been a pleasant surprise at how well it works as a daily driver productivity mouse. The first thing I noticed out of the box was the Basilisk's weight. Razer mice are usually featherlight designs aimed at twitch gamers. And while I'll admit that's nice for gameplay, I've found that it's often less than ideal for everything else where a bit of extra weight can help you achieve greater control during small movements. While the Basilisk is still on the lighter side for productivity mice it strikes a pretty decent balance for overall weight. The second thing I noticed was the sensor. The 30k DPI mouse sensor that the mouse features is beyond twitchy, to the point where it's arguably overkill. On the plus side, this means it can handle pretty much any surface. But given that out of the box it's toned down to almost 1/5th of its maximum sensitivity, it's pretty clear that taking full advantage of it is probably overkill even for the people who designed it. Personally I found the sweet spot to be at about 2400 DPI for most use, and only crank it up to around 5000 for gaming. Also it gains major points for including something that should be part of every wireless mouse: integrated storage for the RF dongle. It's cleverly hidden underneath the socket for the wireless charging puck (not included.) Control layout is generally good. There are a total of ten buttons, all of which can be remapped via Razer's synapse utility. The thumb button (mapped by default to a sniper switch) is slightly awkward to reach and has a bit of wobble to it, but apart from that everything feels solid and is generally comfortable to use. One of the highlights is the 2D scroll wheel, which can either manually or automatically transition to smooth scrolling for faster response. As someone who's used one of these wheels for years I consider this feature to be a must-have for any productivity tasks at this point, and I'm very pleased any time I see a new design including it. RGB is also surprisingly understated given the manufacturer's past history, though still plenty flashy when it needs to be. After using it as a daily driver for a few days I've found very little to complain about, though there are a few things to be aware of. Foremost is the fact that the battery doesn't last exceptionally long during normal use, especially if you're using the RGB effects (and if you don't plan to use the RGB, why are you buying a Razer product in the first place?) I'm used to charging batteries every month or so, but with the Basilisk it seemed to be running low after just a few days. Dimming the RGB and setting the lights to turn off any time the screen goes dark can help stretch this out a bit, but I think the best solution really would be to just pair it with the optional wireless charging dock so that it's always full when you sit down to use it. As such I think it probably makes a bit more sense to buy the mouse and the dock as a set for most who plan to use it as a daily driver. But if you're more interested in a secondary mouse for travel or occasional laptop use, I think this package is probably a better fit. The battery does a good job holding a charge, even if it's not as big as it could be, and it comes with a surprisingly nice USB-C cable for when you need a wired connection for charging.
