Razer Basilisk:16,000 5G Optical Sensor - Removable DPI Clutch & Customizable Scroll Wheel Resistance - Ergonomic Form Factor - Esports Gaming Mouse

This mouse is by far the best I've used for gaming. Highly customizable, and it has a good feel in the hand. I really like the “sniper” button. If you are a serious gamer then this is for you. The Chroma lighting is also a really cool feature on this!

Through the Spark Reviewer program, I have received the Razor Basilisk gaming mouse. This mouse has a boatload of features that you never even imagine that might be useful for daily use, especially a gamer. When you place it in your hand the first thing you notice is the weight is well balanced. Its design is genius, it fits almost perfectly into my hands. I'll say hands are about average. Holding onto the Basilisk mouse is very comfortable. There is also an app for your computer (free download) so that many adjustments to your liking, including the L.E.D. lighting effects Many profiles can be created. It has a USB connector, many computers have this connection type. The box says it has a true 16,000 D.P.I. optical sensor. Awesome, no dirty or dusty scroll balls here. This new Basilisk mouse is very, very smooth to operate and control. At the bottom of the mouse is a resistance +/- wheel for adjustment to the scroll wheel. There is a profile bottom located down there as well. This allows the user to switch between profiles on the fly. For example, the switching between gaming settings and report writing needs. On the top, there are two small buttons just after the scroll wheel and between the right and left selection buttons. To the left, there are two buttons within reach of the thumb. The design is about convenience and control. Now just below the two thumb buttons is a removable clutch D.P.I. clutch (this is programmable and also removable. Yes, I do recommend this product, it is well designed and of very quality. This mouse also offers 1000Hz ultrapolling.

This mouse really works great. I replaced my other gaming mouse with this one and I'm happy I did. The cord on this one is much longer than my other one. I really like cordless ones but this one gives you so much room to work that it doesn't matter. It is also very quick and easy to adjust. It changes colors which is a nice effect. Yes, I would definitely recommend this mouse.

A few more great features: ergonomically shaped, light weight, resistance dial for the mouse wheel, supports up to 16,000 DP!. The list goes on.

I liked the looks of this mouse and like the rubber cushion grips on both sides. I also like that it was higher than most mice and not flat. It is comfortable to use. Movement was VERY smooth and precise. You can adjust the resistance on the scroll wheel on the underside of the mouse. The center button is easy to push. You can download special software for the colors and it will cycle through all colors the spectrum (several million colors) or you can program it with the button on the bottom to any color you want or turn the color light off altogether. It also has a DPI clutch where you can change the sensitivity of the mouse when moving it around the screen. I don't really understand how this is useful, but I am guessing some hard-core gamers would love this feature. You are able to switch the DPI with two buttons on the top of the mouse and they aren't placed in such a way that you could accidentally change the DPI. It did not come with the Chroma software, you have to download it from the Razer website. There is a matching keyboard and mouse pad that you can purchase to get the full color experience and they even have lights you can put on the back of your monitor that will match your mouse/keyboard, etc. Pretty neat!

There is a lot of detailed information about this excellent gaming mouse, so I thought I would offer some plain English explanation of what I see as the mouse's appeal. First, the textured surface helps you keep a super clear idea how you're holding the mouse, without looking away, and to not lose your grip on it during intense gameplay, which helps with accuracy, generally. This is supported by the overall shape of the mouse, including the rest for your thumb, on the left side of the mouse. Some users seem to think the mouse is on the small side; I disagree. It is the largest mouse I've owned in over 20 years. The wheel adjusts to allow for easier scrolling, or, to offer more resistance while turning it -- again to increase accuracy while running through side menus swapping out weapons or whatever. The wheel makes a slight clicking when spun; To increase that tension, your adjustments (made underneath the mouse) make the wheel more audible-y "clicky." The overall impact is that of a very precise and expensive tool, like a surgical instrument. On top of the mouse, the two buttons at the base of the wheel can be used to adjust the DPI, or in other words, how fast and far the cursor moves when you move the entire mouse. It is set so you can quickly change that during gameplay, and without looking at the mouse. Mostly, though, I have to say, I think a major appeal of the mouse is the super cool, super vibrant color shifting which can be adjusted to continuously fade from one color to another. It is, actually, really cool effect. Works great, looks great, too.

My son uses this mouse for on-line gaming. It has a clickable mouse wheel with two smaller buttons located directly beneath it. These buttons initial programming allows the user to control the mouse sensitivity when playing FPS/MMO games. They are placed in excellent alignment. Underneath the mouse is a resistance switch which allows you to customize the mouse wheel scrolling to your liking.

Razer has some great products. Have purchased many gaming items from this. This was a hit for my teenage sons the loved the quality and the speed this mouse had. The optical sensor is what sold me in the first place. When you are true players not any mouse will do. Lighter than most mouses loved the removeable dpi cluster. Just an amazing item

Razer Basilisk - Chroma Enabled RGB FPS Gaming Mouse with DPI Clutch and Customizable Scroll Wheel Resistance Stylish and nicely built. Adjutable wheel resistance is awesome. It fits my big hands well . No rattle or hanging. Easy to install.

This was my first gaming mouse so I found that I was continuously accidentally hitting the sensitivity button while playing. I may not have that problem once I get used to it. The software was super simple to use. All you needed to do to get started was plug it in and a screen pops up prompting you to download the software. I haven't used the mouse to its full potential yet but I must say that I am thoroughly enjoying the design and feel of this mouse. I like that you can build different profiles and each profile equates to another color. I haven't used this feature to the fullest yet but I am excited about using this feature more when I switch between my various PC games. Nice mouse and it has some exciting possibililites!
