I wish the mouse was a little bigger but it does the job really well.
It does still feel great and glides around nicely on my mouse pad. Very happy with the quality and look. For the price it's a great buy.

I purchased this mouse for my son as he wanted to change over from a wireless mouse to a wired mouse while gaming. Needless to say this mouse met all of his expectations and them some. The buttons have a nice click feel to them and the mouse is spot on responsive with zero latency. It has RGB lighting with a textured scroll wheel and is also comfortable in the hand for long gaming sessions. For the price compared to the value it’s definitely worth giving it a try as you won’t be disappointed.

The Razer Basilisk V3 has significantly improved my gaming performance. Its precision is excellent, and the DPI settings are quick and easy to adjust. The RGB lighting is stylish and customizable. Its ergonomic design provides comfort even during long gaming sessions. Ideal for anyone looking for a durable, high-performance mouse.

Great mouse, especially if you can find it on sale. The USB cable is plenty long, so you can either cable manage it nicely and still have room to spare or have a long cable completely loose. The RGB is beautiful, especially the reflective light at the bottom that puts a really nice glow around your mouse pad where the mouse meets it. The sensor is extremely accurate, and I’ve never had problems tracking or feeling “off” in FPS shooters. Such a solid mouse for the price. The synapse app is actually one of the better peripheral programs too, which is wonderful. Also, the scroll wheel with auto detect scroll that changed between infinity scroll and regular scroll is great. Just having the option to instantly switch to infinite scroll is great. Weight is a little on the heavy side, but that is to be expected with a bigger mouse, that’s wired and has RGB. Fits great in a medium sized hand that uses a palm grip.

Alright, check this out honest review of the Razer Basilisk V3 Optical gaming mouse it is a solid piece of gear that fits right in your hand with that perfect ergonomic shape. It’s rocking Razer’s Focus+ optical sensor with 26,000 DPI, so you get crazy precise tracking whether you’re sniping in a shooter or blasting through fast-paced games. The buttons are super responsive thanks to Razer’s Optical Mouse Switches, which means zero debounce delay meaning every click registers instantly.

It’s a sleek, powerful mouse that’s built for serious gaming without any fluff. Definitely a top-tier pick if you want something that performs as good as it looks. Did I forget to mention custom bindings!

Very solid upgrade for my pc. I was using a 9 uesr old amazon special red dragon mouse for the longest. Needless to say i needed some updated equipment for my gaming sessions. For moba usage this mouse is perfect for me. Id highly recommend this mouse to a friend! Rgb and infinite scroll wheel are just extra bonuses (not to mention the rbg is the best ive seen placement wise for most gaming mice).

I got this mouse at a discounted price (39.99) and for the money it's a great mouse. It's very comfortable and something really cool is that you don't need a mousepad. It has pads on the bottom that make the mouse work on every surface, even a couch or a carpet. The lights are also very customizable, and lots of different features. Great mouse and would recommend.

Review:
This mouse was a much-needed upgrade for me. I was coming from an older Bluetooth Razer mouse that I had used for years. It was so worn down that the fabric was ripping and the clicks weren’t always registering anymore.
The Basilisk V3 feels great in my hand, and everything works exactly as it should. The side buttons are very useful, the clicks register perfectly, and the mouse feels responsive and in sync with my display. I haven’t had any issues at all. It’s comfortable, reliable, and performs well across the board. I’m very happy with this mouse.

I recently bought the Razer Basilisk V3 Wired Optical Gaming Mouse, and it’s fantastic! I loved it so much that I ended up giving it to someone else and buying another for myself. The customizable RGB lighting looks amazing, and the overall design feels really solid and comfortable to use. The performance is smooth and responsive, perfect for gaming or everyday use. Definitely worth it!

The right-handed ergonomic design and appearance is very clearly the Thunderbird family style. Its size is medium to large, its lines are round and natural, and its weight of 101 grams is much lighter than the G502. v3's two scroll wheel modes are very surprising, which is why there was a delay in switching to Thunderbird. The newly added RGB light band is very stunning, and it can bring users a more excellent lighting atmosphere performance.

Excellent gaming mouse especially for the money. Bats way out of its price point. Fast, responsive, comfortable, excellent button customization and placement, and in my opinion some of the best RBG lighting in the gaming mouse market. I haven’t found myself once wishing I got “the better one” Highly recommend.
I would recommend this to a friend

It's been a long while since I have used a wire mouse. This mouse is great, you can't even tell the cable is there, it's so light. I was easy to add to Synapse software, and once it was loaded into the software, you can set it to go off when the screen goes off or have a timer for it to go off after no use. The chroma app overall was easy to use, and I made a custom moving pattern of 2 colors in the wave format, I did the same for my keyboard, but with static colors, overall can't say anything bad about the mouse, it works great & hope it does in the future. I would recommend the product, just make sure you have time to setup the software because in the end for me to get all my razer devices to work, I had to wipe windows & reinstall.

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.

I recently picked up a new gaming mouse from Best Buy, and overall, I’ve been really impressed with it. The setup was quick and easy — basically plug-and-play — and the software offered plenty of customization options for DPI, lighting, and button mapping.
The build quality feels solid without being too heavy. The ergonomics are great for long sessions, and the textured grip helps keep it comfortable and secure. Performance-wise, the sensor is very accurate, and I noticed smoother tracking right away, especially in fast-paced games.For the price, it’s a reliable and responsive gaming mouse that offers excellent performance for both gaming and everyday use. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a solid upgrade.

Extremely comfortable and lightweight. Upgraded from the Naga v2 and the weight difference is astronomical. The thumb groove is a personal preference that I've come to adore. Overall 10/10 would buy again.
