    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.

    Precision and Speed: The mouse is equipped with Razer's Focus+ Optical Sensor, delivering up to 26,000 DPI, ensuring pinpoint accuracy and fast response times, which is ideal for competitive gaming. Ergonomic Design: The shape of the Basilisk V3 is designed for comfort during long gaming sessions. It has customizable side grips and a well-balanced design, making it suitable for a variety of grip styles (claw, palm, or fingertip). Customizable Buttons: With 11 programmable buttons, the Basilisk V3 provides ample options for keybinds, macros, and shortcuts, giving users a competitive edge in games that require complex commands. The removable DPI clutch is a great feature, allowing users to adjust sensitivity on the fly. Chroma RGB Lighting: Razer's Chroma RGB lighting is fully customizable, offering millions of colors and dynamic effects, which can sync with other Razer devices or games. It's a great touch for personalizing your setup. Durability: The mouse is built to last, featuring Razer Optical Mouse Switches that offer fast actuation and a longer lifespan compared to traditional mechanical switches. The switches have a rated lifespan of 70 million clicks, ensuring reliability over time.

    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.

    The Razer mouse I recently purchased is a perfect example of getting great value without breaking the bank. Despite being more affordable compared to some high-end gaming mice, this model impresses with its build quality, performance, and features. The design is sleek and ergonomically friendly, fitting comfortably in my hand for extended gaming sessions. The build quality feels sturdy, with a premium finish that doesn’t suggest it’s a budget option. The mouse also features customizable RGB lighting, which adds a nice aesthetic touch and can be personalized through Razer’s 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.

    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.

    Upgraded from a mamba elite to this, the basilisk is bigger and slightly heavier than the mamba elite but is overall more comfortable and feels more natural to hold. The LEDs look really good on this if you’re someone who enjoys nice lights on their PC stuff. The buttons are all very responsive and feel nice to click. Flicking is honestly a lot nicer on this mouse with the thumb grip on the side if you have bigger hands as I do. Overall 10/10 would very much recommend.

    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 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!

    It’s smaller size than I wanted but after some months I didn’t mind at all the extra buttons are super useful in game, video editing, and digital art ( not to draw but to move stuff around or open up tools) overall all I give it a 8/10 on comfort, 10/10 for functionality and 10/10 for aesthetics design with the RGB. Im happy with this mouse

    I love how comfortable this mouse feels...I come from an old Logitech g400s, this was quite the upgrade both in terms of smoothness and dpi, as well as comfort and grip. It doesnt give me the feeling that it is extremely cheap either. I was also interested in the logitech g502 but from the reviews I saw it looks like they switched their braided cable to a cheaper non-braided cable. The fact that the Basilisk had the braided cable was a contributing factor. At the time of purchase this was

    I throughly enjoy the mouse all around. The colors and controlling them with the Synapses is easy and fun, the controlling of the mouse itself and its customizations is amazing and simple. Both for gaming and in general this is a great mouse. Great feel, just wish I could reach one of the left buttons with my thumb without moving my entire hand.
