This is a great mouse, it's on the heavier side but IMO it's not too heavy. If you are looking for a super light mouse, then Viper V2 pro might be a good choice.
Pros:
1. Very comfortable to hold (My hand is around 18.5 inch long)
2. The RGB light is amazingly beautiful.
3. Great build quality, premium material
4. The click was not too loud, compared with Viper and DA3 pro, but enough for confirmation.
5. It does have BT + wireless dongle.
6. USB C!
Cons:
1. It's pricey
2. It doesnt support multiple device connection.
3. The wireless charging pad is sold separately.
4. The Razer software needs some improvement; it sometimes has device recognition issues.
I would recommend this to a friend
Pros mentioned:
Rgb lighting, Scroll wheel
Cons mentioned:
Charging dock

Great mouse, I'm loving this new version of the Basilisk line. I used the have the original one that came with a charging dock. It served me very well and never broke and it's time for an upgrade!
I can tell this new version feels more sturdy, I don't know how to describe it, but the clicks feel way more satisfying and precise, feels more sturdy when clicking the two main buttons. Apart from that this mouse has quite a few new improvements. The scroll well feels more sturdy and you can easily switch from a infinite scroll feel (spins indefinitely without any tactile feel or clicks) or a tactile regular feel with steps (you can change modes on the fly pressing a button or using their software).
They include a USB dongle and a type C to type A USB cable (they don't include a charging dock like on the original one that came bundled with it, this is my only con. They do have one, however is an extra purchase and that extra dock also gives you a 4000 hz polling rate instead of the dongle's 1000).
They have also updated the RGB lightning, now there is an extra one underneath that will glow under the mouse (not much noticeable during the day, but it is at night if you game with your lights off).
Finally, their synapse software is great, I have checked and it does NOT suck any resources compared to other company's solutions. You can customize your mouse to your desire using their software (change RGB, change the DPI's steps, of this mouse has a 30k optical sensor!).
Highly recommend this gaming mouse and don't forget to get the charging dock to charge it more conveniently!

In the box, you do get a USBC to A cable and wireless receiver, which is nice. My first impressions of the feel are good, solid built, and clicks are nice (and not too loud).
You can utilize this mouse in wired mode (with the included wire), wirelessly with the dongle, or wirelessly with Bluetooth. I tested all three and had zero issues with them. There is onboard memory where you can store up to 5 profiles if you so choose. I normally stick to one but know many of my friend that utilize more than one and this feature would benefit them quite a bit. These profiles can also store your RGB configurations as well, which is a solid option in my option. As always, you can use Synapse to customize your RGB coloring, and there are TONS of different options within this software. You will find one (or more) that suit you.
In my testing of the mouse, it glides flawlessly across my mouse pad, and I have no issues with shoulder pain after long gaming sessions. I know there were complaints about the 2.4gz connection, but in my playthroughs, I had zero issues with connectivity.
Overall, I have had a blast using this mouse from Razer. You cannot beat the level of customization Razer offers with Synapse and the 5 onboard profiles makes this mouse just that much better. This is a definite must for gamers.

I was a bit skeptical of this mouse after reading some reviews but after testing out this mouse for some time, I was completely surprised. I was expecting some problems out of the box and throughout testing but luckily, I did not experience any. Likely, some QC issues were present within some batches, and it seems other batches were in good shape. Here are my thoughts on Razer’s Basilisk V3 Wireless Gaming Mouse.
======
IN THE BOX:
In the box, you get a USB-A to USB-C soft flexible cable, a USB-A wireless receiver, and a quick start guide. There is also a 2-year warranty if you register the product.
======
COMFORT AND DESIGN:
The mouse feels overall great. Ergonomically, it is comfortable and there was no discomfort after prolonged usage. I do love the rubber-like sides, it does make the mouse feel overly better. Buttons are responsive too. This mouse has several extra buttons that can be assigned a function using Razer’s Synapse software. A new button to me was the multi-functional trigger right below the left mouse button. By default, it is assigned as a sensitivity clutch, which seemed to work well during FPS games where you need to carefully aim at a target. This button was awkward to use since my thumb does not extend as far as where the button is located. But, a cool addition to this mouse’s design nevertheless.
======
FEATURES:
This mouse has three modes of connection: wired, USB receiver, and Bluetooth. I played with all modes, and all seemed to work fine. Many reviews have mentioned that the wireless receiver was not functioning, I did not experience this problem during my testing. Make sure the setting at the bottom of the mouse is set to 2.4 and not Bluetooth If the receiver is being used. Hopefully, it was just a bug that Razer has sorted out, and not something wrong with the hardware.
There is also a switch at the bottom to switch between modes. Next to the switch is the profile button. The mouse does have internal memory so up to 5 profiles can be stored. The profiles do store all your configured settings like RGB. A cool feature that many mouses do not have is the free spin scrolling. The mouse can switch between free spin scrolling and tactile scrolling all with a press of a button. RGB can easily be customizable using Synapse as well. Many cool lighting effects to choose from!
======
CONCLUSION:
Overall, this is a great mouse. Many people seemingly had problems with the wireless receiver, but I did not experience any of the aforementioned problems. If you are in the market for a gaming mouse that doubles as a productivity mouse, I recommend you give this one a shot!

The battery life is amazing. i charge it maybe once a week. and not for very long and it just. lasts. even when i forget to turn it off.
the ergonomics is fantastic. I have small hands and normally have trouble finding mice that are as fitting as this. although my only complaint as i cant reach the DPI "accuracy" button. but again. i got tiny mouse hands that aren't great for most mice...
it is incredibly light Imo. yes there are definitely lighter mice. but you don't need a 2oz/60 gram mouse. this mouse is basically double that at 112 grams or about 4oz.
it is of fairly good quality. id say it feels sturdy enough for the weight. and as long as your not beating it with a hammer or throwing it full force it will be fine. i have had my moments of weakness and slammed my mouse into my desk. and it was perfectly fine.
ive had the mouse around 6 months. the tracks are still clean. alittle scratched but look fine. they still glide smooth they have no visible wear.
all in all. good mouse. good price.

The Razer Basilik V3 Pro mouse is an outstanding mouse, mainly for the high precision and customization options it has. Gaming has been great with this device, I used it on my gaming PC exclusively with FPS games, such as Halo Infinite (other games I prefer keyboard) and it has performed brilliantly (or to be accurate, it has helped me perform brilliantly 😊.) I can move and aim with precision and get the perfect shot almost every time. This mouse is highly customizable, installing the proper Razer software allows to customize the Razer Basilik V3 Pro mouse by assigning shortcuts to the different buttons, setting the lighting scheme and move sensitivity, among others. Different configurations can be saved in different profiles, accessible by clicking the profile button at the bottom of the mouse.
- Pros: Precise. Easy to switch between sensitivity, lighting, scrolling modes.
- Cons: N/A
>> Customizing
To configure the mouse and make use of all its capabilities, you need to install the Razer Synapse software. When installing and using the Razer Synapse software (and its additional components such as Chroma) and configuring the Razer Basilik V3 Pro mouse, I got the feeling that I needed to have a Razer keyboard to get a better overall experience with lighting colors schemes and such across devices (well it is even suggested in a few screens about how more of a complete experience would be having the different Razer peripherals). For example, there is the option to have an extra set of buttons configured (beyond the 10+1 physically available), but you need to have a Razer keyboard for that, as it needs the Razer Helpshift key (key for which I haven’t found an equivalent in a “regular” keyboard). Also, some color patterns can be combined or configured across different Razer peripherals to work in “harmony”. I don’t know if this is good or bad, jut calling out the feeling I got when I started configuring the mouse.
You can create profiles with different color patterns, and together the different key shortcuts and other settings you configure for each profile, you can access them by clicking on the Profile button (at the button of the mouse). Each click goes into the next profile and onto its color pattern/scheme to enjoy. You can save up to five (5) profiles in the on-board memory and reuse those configs when moving to other machines. For lighting customization, there are several predefined color configurations that would fit most of your needs.
One thing I noticed though, is that the Razer Software install pack was almost 0.5GB, which seems a lot. Hopefully nothing out of the ordinary got installed, but just in case, I set a Windows 11 restore point before installing the software.
>> Connectivity
There are three ways to connect the device: USB cable, Bluetooth and Wireless 2.4GHz transmitter. It is very versatile in this aspect. You can switch between those connectivity options and the Razer Synapse software recognizes the mouse as being the same and provides the configurations you defined. A seamless experience in this aspect.
Although I’ve always preferred USB wired mice for gaming on my Gaming Desktop, as I had some reliability issues with other Bluetooth/Wireless mice in the past (even at a few feet away), my experience with Bluetooth and Wireless with this mouse has been great and no issues so far (note: my gaming PC is just a few feet away.) As of now, my preferred option is connecting through Bluetooth, well, except when I need to charge the mouse (not a big deal as the mouse lasts several days on a regular couple of hours “gaming” use.) Perhaps having to connect the USB cable for charging could be marked as one of the few inconveniences for this device.
If you want to connect and switch from/to multiple laptops/PCs, then you can connect wirelessly to one, with Bluetooth to the other and wired to another one. However, bear in mind that to have the full experience, you’d need to have the Razer Synapse software installed on each of those devices.
>> Other notes
A few things:
- Scroll Mode: The default scroll mode is Tactile Cycling mode, which feels odd (you get the feedback on each scroll of something rough wheel rolling). The Free spin mode feels smoother, it covers basically the same scrolling area/length as the other mode but feels more subtle.
- Mouse Sensitivity Move button: This is one of the nice things in this mouse, with a single click or series of clicks on the button, you can have the mouse movement to be smoother/slower or faster. Well, you can also use the Sensitivity Clutch to "slow down" when, for example aiming at the enemy, but I find that having a setting for Sensitivity overall feels more comfortable when playing my FPS games.
- Razer Chroma module: Besides the predefined color schemes, you can use Chroma to define your own “style”; but there is a caveat, using the Chroma setting overrides all the profiles, this is, you'd be left with a single-color effect across all profiles (well...)
- Battery: So far using mainly Bluetooth, battery life has been fine. I haven't measured if there are noticeable differences in battery between Bluetooth and wireless. Something particular I noticed is that when the computer goes to Hibernation, the mouse is still playing the colors, well, I guess that it the way it is intended to work but I guess it consumes some battery, nonetheless.
The Perfect Balance of Precision, Comfort, and Fea

The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro is, hands down, the best gaming mouse I’ve ever used.
From the moment I placed my hand on it, the ergonomic shape felt perfect. It’s incredibly comfortable for long sessions—whether I’m grinding ranked in Warzone or editing for hours. The optical switches are lightning-fast and ultra-responsive, making every click feel crisp and accurate.
The Hyperscroll Tilt Wheel is a game-changer. Switching between tactile scrolling for precision and free spin for speed is smooth and effortless. The wireless performance is flawless—zero lag, and the battery lasts for days.
What really sets this mouse apart is the customization. Between the programmable buttons, RGB lighting, and fine-tuned sensitivity adjustments via Razer Synapse, I can tailor it exactly to my playstyle.
It’s not just a mouse—it’s a competitive edge.
If you’re serious about gaming, the Basilisk V3 Pro is worth every dollar.

Mouse is awesome, adjustable dpi is great. It's so smooth across the matt. Fits perfectly in the hand. The lights are great as well. Each section can be customized which is really cool.
Oh and the wheel is FANTASTIC you can either have it in tactical mode or free spin.
An Almost Perfect Mouse for Gaming and Productivit

I've been using the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro for a while now, and it's an absolutely fantastic mouse that excels at both gaming and daily productivity tasks. The performance is top-notch, with a responsive sensor and comfortable ergonomics that make it a joy to use for hours on end.
The standout feature for me is the HyperScroll Tilt Wheel. It's incredibly versatile, allowing for precise scrolling in tactical mode and lightning-fast free-spinning when I need to fly through long documents or web pages. It has genuinely improved my workflow.
My only complaint, and it's a minor one, is that the wireless charging puck is not included in the box. For a premium mouse at this price point, it feels like an oversight to have to purchase such an essential accessory separately.
Despite that, I can't recommend the Basilisk V3 Pro enough. If you're looking for a high-performance, comfortable, and feature-rich mouse for both work and play, this is it. Just be prepared to buy the charging puck separately if you want the full wireless experience.

It's definitely the upgrade that I've been looking for. It's got plenty of buttons for those extra gaming needs, RGB is plenty customizable, and not to mention there's plenty of cool features like the ability to change the scroll wheel to the ratchet vs smooth. You can even have both at the same time. The customization for the sensitivity is also HIGHLY precise. Why adapt to the mouse when you can have the mouse adapt to you. Makes things so much easier and just in general "cool". Sure I wish it was a little cheaper, but you pay for what you get and I was not disappointed

It's a very fancy, expensive mouse. It has lots of RGB that is configurable to design your own colors and patterns. But more than that, the Basilisk V3 Pro has a very good sensor that allows for up to 30,000 DPI and you can create several profiles that have different DPI settings and button mappings. Best of all, it has a scroll wheel that can switch from regular to free-wheel. It has Bluetooth in addition to the usual wireless connection. About average size and weight, and it's comfortable. Dock/charger is sold separately and is also pretty pricey, but it comes with a detachable USB-C cord for charging if you feel like going old-school wired, or if it goes dead on you while you're pwning noobs.

Beautiful mouse. I really like there is 2.4 Ghz, Bluetooth, and wired option. Very comfortable feel. I do not think it is too large, as some others have said, and I have "normal" size hands. Very smooth scroll wheel, and great side click ergonomics. Responsive. Looks aesthetic and attractive with great RGB controls

It was time for me to replace my Logitech G604 and though I loved that mouse, I could not find a comparable one from the same brand, so after doing research I found that the Razer Basilisk v3 Pro is the closest one with some of the same features I want that were on the G604 plus added features! This is a great mouse for both productivity and gaming. The fact that I no longer need to replace the batteries like my previous one is a big plus. I haven't used it long enough to test out how long I could use the Basilisk on a single charge until I have to recharge it, but I'm sure it'll be a while. The RGB lighting is awesome too and nice that it's customizable. It carries a hefty price tag, but this will be the only mouse you'll need.

Ergonomical and stylish. This mouse fits well for me and makes it easy to control movement in game settings and also when managing Excel files.
The lighting is a nice effect, but I also really appreciate the scroll wheel.

It has a great ergonomic feel, lightweight, nice mouse.... just very unreliable. Two or three days after setting up the mouse, the scroll wheel failed. While it originally had a light ratcheting action, with just enough friction, it began spinning freely, sending the PC cursor unpredictably across the screen.
Razer's tech support people were readily available via chat. They quickly determined I had a hardware failure. From there, you have two choices:
1) Return the mouse to them and wait for a new one to be sent.
2) Pay in advance for a new one, then return the old, broken mouse for a full credit.
I took option 2. I received the new, replacement mouse in just a few days and returned the broken one. Then, the new mouse broke. In exactly the same way: the scroll wheel stop ratcheting and began to spin freely. That happened today. I've contacted support, but this time they don't seem so eager to talk. No reply yet.
I will not buy another one of these.

The Razer Basilisk V3 30K is an excellent mouse—super responsive and packed with features. The 30K DPI sensor ensures precision, making it great for both gaming and everyday tasks. The customizable buttons add a lot of functionality, and the RGB lighting is a nice touch. My only complaint is that it feels a bit heavy, especially during long sessions, but the overall performance is fantastic. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a versatile and reliable mouse!

I was skeptical about the built quality and performance but after a month of owning the mouse I can happily say it was worth it! I’ve never owned a wireless mouse in the past and always struggled with the wire getting caught up on something.

I have an unique request: I need a mouse that can handle 8-10 hours of work with tons of spreadsheets and Dev Code, and at the same time, handle 2-3 hours of play any game that I want. And it also must handle Bluetooth, so I can switch from my work laptop (using Bluetooth) to my gamer laptop (using the 2.4 GHz dongle) with ease.
This is, by far, the best (and possibly the only one) mouse that can handle this. I don't want to buy two mouses, one for work and one for gaming, I want something that can handle both with no compromises, and this is it.
First things first, I'm not a competitive player and I don't care about weight I believe Shape > Features > Weight is the way to go. So, this might not be the best out there for FPS competitive shooters.
That said, its scroll wheel and on-board memory allows me to create productivity macros to handle my job, and when I'm done, I have a really good sensor, shape and other macros that handle my playing style. And all of that without using Synapse (you still have to install to create the macros but you can uninstall once you load that to the memory).
And to that 2 years of warranty and you have a solid product.
I've been using this mouse since release day, and I'm using it 13+ hours a day, only had to charge once. Its an amazing product, it should be cheaper but it is definitely a better "bang for your buck" than anything else right now.

The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro has quickly become my favorite mouse of all time. Its ergonomics are outstanding—comfortably shaped in a way that reminds me of Logitech’s MX Master series, but with the performance edge of a true gaming mouse.
The shape and grip feel natural, making it perfect for long sessions whether you’re working or gaming. While it echoes the premium feel of the MX Master, it takes things further with its high polling rate and precision, which sets it apart as a top-tier gaming option. Simply put: if you enjoy the MX Master’s design, you’ll love the Basilisk V3 Pro.
One standout feature is its “smart” scroll wheel, which, like Logitech’s, offers adaptive free-scrolling. Personally, I’ve chosen to disable it since it feels overly sensitive, and the software currently doesn’t allow sensitivity adjustments. Instead, I prefer using the manual toggle, which works reliably and gives me more control.
Overall, the Basilisk V3 Pro strikes an excellent balance between comfort, versatility, and high-performance features. It’s a perfect choice if you want the ergonomics of a productivity mouse with the speed and responsiveness of a gaming powerhouse.
