Using this gaming mouse on 16" gaming laptop wi-fi 6e 10/100/1000/2500 mbs capable download speed 1200mbs.This mouse is by far the most comfortable grip for my adult hands and my teenage grandkids love it. Not to heavy not to light just right. It has a larger scrolling wheel than most which makes easier contact and use well thought out design. The quick DPI change button is a plus. Very quick game response. RGB lighting very customizable. This a high end gaming mouse well worth it and my favorite and I have many gaming mice this is by far the best. I use it on wi-fi and it also can be used just blue tooth with the flip of the bottom switch. The quick change profile button also on bottom of mouse very useful. Great resolution.The grandkids got 5 hours constant game play before charge needed usb full charge took about 30 minutes. Also mouse has bottom compartment to store receiver if you don't want to use it and go to blue tooth I prefer wi- fi. The larger scroll wheel also helps prevent unintended double clicks. The desktop app very handy and user friendly. Just get it you won't regret it

What do I like:
Solid build quality. The Razer Basilisk v3 Pro does not feel like cheap plastic. The Basilisk is light as far as gaming mice go and still manages to feel solid in my hand. The sides of the Basilisk are covered with a rubberized grip that is substantial enough to give me full control over the mouse but subtle enough to vanish into the background during gaming sessions. The left and right mouse buttons are bare plastic with a texture that reminds me of fine grain sandpaper. I am not sure if I am a fan of this texture. However, just like the side grips, the texture on the buttons vanishes into the background rather quickly when gaming or performing other general mousing tasks.
The pads on the bottom of the mouse are extremely low resistance. The mouse simply slides across my Corsair MM700 mouse pad better than any other gaming mouse I own. The buttons also feel very substantial. They have a slightly longer travel than what I am used to. However, the force to depress each button is less than other non-Razer gaming mice I have used. The travel may be longer, but the responsiveness is very fast.
The scroll wheel feels excellent! I really like the wheel texture. There is zero chance of my finger sliding off the wheel regardless of how sweaty my hands get. Scrolling in clicky-mode is smooth, offers little resistance, and is tactile enough to keep me locked in on my current setting. If that makes any sense. The Basilisk v3 Pro wheel’s free-spinning mode is super smooth and amazingly low resistance. The thing will spin forever if you let it. The only thing I do not like about the mouse wheel is with the button that switches between clicky and free-spin modes. The button is located directly in front of the DPI switch and is about a millimeter or two taller than the DPI button. I regularly switch DPI modes on the fly and have hit the scroll wheel button a lot more than I am comfortable with. Before I lambaste Razer for this feature, I do need to point that other manufacturers do the same thing. For some reason this has proven to be an issue for me with this particular mouse. Not only has this cost me precious time in game when a quick DPI change was warranted but it also forced me to change the scroll wheel back to clicky-mode from smooth mode. I suspect my issue may have more to do with the spacing of the buttons and the size of my hands more than anything Razer did wrong. It is annoying for now but I will eventually compensate for it.
The bottom of the mouse has a three-way switch which controls power and how the Basilisk v3 Pro connects to your system. There are three ways to connect: Bluetooth, Hyperspeed wireless via an included 2.4 Ghz dongle, or via USB cable. Razer includes the dongle, a USB A to USB C, and a mini-dongle dock that can be used with both the included cable and the Hyberspeed dongle. This gives you the flexibility to place the dongle wherever you get the best wireless reception. Finally, there is a profile button on the bottom of the mouse. I like this idea and wish other manufacturers would do this. First, you can create different mouse profiles through Razer’s Synapse software, easily port these over to the mouse’s memory, and then use the mouse’s profile button to easily switch between profiles. Windows will even display, on screen, what profile you switched to. Just note that these pop-ups are suppressed during gaming.
My gaming sessions were good. I paired the Basilisk v3 Pro with my Alienware M15 R4 gaming laptop. This laptop is no slouch by any measure and rips through any game I have thrown at it. The Basilisk v3 Pro did not show any signs of hesitation or latency in any game I threw at it. I was able to get the fine detail movements required for my strategy games. Fast paced movements for my FPS games were smooth, accurate, and low latency; even when making a lot of fast paced twitch movements. And everything in between was perfect. The Basilisk v3 Pro delivered the goods every time.
Finally, the Basilisk v3 Pro has multiple charging options. The Basilisk v3 Pro can be charged directly via USB cable, included. The Basilisk is also compatible with Razer’s charging puck and mouse dock, sold separately. There is a round cover on the bottom of the Basilisk v3 Pro to store the 2.4 Ghz wireless dongle. There are six copper pins under the door. The optional charging puck replaces the cover and makes contact with the charging pins. The puck then allows wireless charging with either a optional charging base or with any Qi-charging compatible devices. Personally, I would have preferred an option that included the entire wireless solution but that’s just me.
Luckily the Basilisk v3 Pro has a long battery life. I have been running the Basilisk v3 Pro with RGB lighting turned on for four days as of this writing for both gaming and work. The battery is currently at 45%. That’s impressive. By this measure I should be able to go a whole week on a single charge!
What don’t I like:
First, the Sensitivity Clutch button is too far forward for me. I have small hands thus I tend to use smaller mice. The Basilisk v3 Pro is a longer mouse than what I am used to. Essentially, I tend to use a claw grip and depress the mouse buttons just shy of the tips of my fingers. The Basilisk v3 Pro forces my hand into a shallower grip than I am not used to. Thus, I now have to press the buttons with the pads of my fingertips. This is not much of an issue. Just something I will either get used to or not. However, the Basilisk v3 Pro forces me to depress the Sensitivity Clutch button using the very tip of my thumb where my thumb is already pressed up against the side of them mouse. It just does not work for me.
Second, the mouse did not ship with a charging dock or puck. More of a personal gripe than an actual con though. The absence of the dock does not impact the quality, functions, or experience of the Basilisk v3 Pro.
The Razer software, like everyone’s software, has a bit of a learning curve. And it has a lot of features and confusing interconnects between a suite of companion programs that make me wonder when Razer will redesign their systems to be a unified application. At the end of the day, I was able to program my mouse for several games and easily ported the whole profile, as a single action, from the configuration screen to mouse memory. My only advice is to download Razer Synapse directly from Razer and do not allow Windows 11 to auto install it for you. The version that Windows deploys does not detect this mouse. This may change with a future update to Windows. But for now, do yourself a favor and go get it yourself.
Final thoughts: If you have not looked at Razer for a while then you may want to check out the Basilisk v3 Pro. I own several wired and wireless gaming mice that fit in a similar price range as the Basilisk v3 Pro but I had completely dismissed Razer as an option. The build of the Basilisk v3 Pro is simple, has a quality feel to it, and is very responsive in all gaming situations. The RGB lighting is subtle and does offer more than other similar mice. The Basilisk v3 Pro has 13 lighting zones; 11 of which are on the bottom of the mouse! Most gaming mice have two. The mouse is lightweight when compared with other gaming mice I own. The Basilisk does not ship with weights or a mechanism to add weight. And the form factor is a little large for my smallish hand but still very usable.
I am pleasantly surprised by the Basilisk v3 Pro.

If you're looking for a wireless gaming mouse that delivers on all fronts, the Basilisk V3 Pro is an excellent choice.

Up until now I've primarily used wired gaming mice. I've had some connectivity issues with wireless mice before so I never really thought much about them. However, this mouse garnered some interest seeing that it's made from one of the leading manufacturers in computer peripherals as well as, most importantly, has RGB! As such, I figured I'd give this a shot and see how it compared.
My previous mouse was a Corsair M65 Ultra. Great mouse, wired, had some RGB on it and, overall, a great mouse. However, the cables were irritating as are any cables for that matter. I found myself constantly having to reposition my hand/mouse due to the cable getting in the way. I know there is a wireless version of that mouse however, I don;t have that one so not getting the same mouse in a wireless version. I've never had a Razer before so this would be a great chance to try out their products comparatively.
Right out of the box, I immediately liked the feel of the mouse. I'm a flat hand mouse user, not a claw user, and the ergonomics of this mouse just felt great. The rubberized sides of the mouse offered a great grip without being too grippy or rubbery in texture. The Left/Right buttons also have a little bit of texture to them so there's some grip there, again, without being too pronounced. Great tactile feel to those buttons. Button placement was good, except for the precision button. So as far as overall fit, this was a nice update.
Next big thing for me was the RGB, obviously. This one had more RGB than the Corsair and just looked better IMO. There's a ring (almost a ring) on the bottom which provides ample RGB-ness as well as the scroll wheel and logo light up nicely. The software allows you multiple RGB patterns as any software would do. The ability to increase brightness really makes the RGB pop.
The adjustable DPI on the top allows quick changing of this setting as well as the smooth/click wheel setting. I found it odd that whenever you change the scroll wheel setting, the mouse clicks. Never had one do this before so I found this a bit odd.
Biggest enhancement for me was this is wireless. I can finally forgo the cumbersome mouse cable and have better range of motion with the mouse. It being wireless, I've not experienced any sort of lag or delays when gaming so this is a great bonus as well.
The only thing I didn't like about this mouse was the placement of the precision button below the Back/Forward buttons. On my Corsair M65, it was right below the Forward button where it should be. On this mouse, it's a bit more forward so I have to kinda reach that button in order to hit it. Not ideal placement for me but maybe others will state otherwise.
]Overall, I'm really digging this mouse. Checks off all the boxes for me as far as a gaming mouse and it looks real cool as well.

I've recently upgraded to the Basilisk V3 Pro Customizable Wireless Gaming Mouse, and it's been a fantastic addition to my gaming setup. From the moment I unboxed it, the sleek black design and comfortable ergonomic shape immediately stood out. It fits perfectly in my hand, making long gaming sessions much more comfortable.
One of the standout features for me is the Razer HyperScroll Tilt Wheel. It’s incredibly smooth and versatile, allowing me to switch between free-spin and tactile modes effortlessly. This is a game-changer for both quick scrolling through long documents and precise control in fast-paced games. The tilt functionality adds another layer of control, which I’ve found particularly useful for navigating complex in-game menus.
Customizability is where the Basilisk V3 Pro really shines. With 11 programmable buttons, I can assign various functions and macros to suit my gaming style. The Razer Synapse software makes customization straightforward, and I love being able to save different profiles for different games. The mouse also features Razer’s Focus+ 26K DPI Optical Sensor, which provides pinpoint accuracy and responsiveness. This has significantly improved my performance, especially in FPS games where precision is key.
The wireless performance is stellar as well. Using Razer HyperSpeed Wireless technology, I haven’t noticed any lag or connectivity issues, even in the heat of battle. The battery life is impressive, lasting through extended gaming marathons without needing frequent recharges.
RGB lighting might seem like a minor feature, but the customizable Chroma RGB lighting on this mouse adds a great visual touch to my setup. It syncs perfectly with my other Razer gear, creating a cohesive and immersive gaming environment.
Overall, the Basilisk V3 Pro has exceeded my expectations. It’s a versatile, high-performance gaming mouse that offers a blend of comfort, precision, and customizability. If you’re looking for a reliable and feature-packed mouse, I highly recommend giving this one a try.

This is my favorite gaming mouse to date. I love good mouse that has quick responses (super low latency) Easily programable buttons for different profiles. Depending of who's using it or just which games you're playing at the time. Programming with Razer's HUB is a breeze and not to mention, it looks great with my Huntsman Mini. It can be used wired and/or wirelessly using the dongle as a medium if and when you need to get that charge and keep the games going. Or just getting your spread sheets taken care of. Not to mention, it looks really nice when you pull it out at a coffee shop or at your friend's place. It's much more responsive than my last mouse and I didn't even think that would be possible, while also being larger and deceptively lighter. I really does feel great in the palm while playing D&D Dark Alliance and very quick whn playing Scarlet Nexus. I forgot to stop playing one night. Glad I was off work the next day. And finally, those RGB lights always make me swoon. I think this is woderful gaming mouse for you or that PC gamer in your life. I've got a few games coming that I can't wait use this on. So yes. I recommend this to all gamers. Even if you don't have any Other Razer gear., but it does look great with gear that's in the family.

Comfy to use and feels really solid. The sensor is super accurate, and the wireless connection is fast with no lag. Battery lasts a long time, and the RGB lighting looks great on my setup. It’s a little heavier and not cheap, but totally worth it for the quality and performance.
