Hey all, my last mouse (a wired razer Basilisk Essential) is starting to finally kick the bucket so I'm looking into moving toward something new. My budget is around the 50 Euro price point but with some stores discounting mice from time to time, I'd be fine with stuff that's even a little higher. Some preferences: \-I'd like a similar shape to the Basilisk, or the G502/G502X. That little thumb rest is comfy as hell, I've got big hands so small mice will be a pain. \-I don't mind wired and heavier mice, in fact I think I'd rather something that's not ultralight. The G502's 120+ grams is a bit much, but something in the 80-95 gram range should be fine. Wired is also preferred. \-I don't mind not having rgb, so I wouldn't pay more for that. \-I'd also like it to sound okay? I'm not asking for clicking asmr but like the G502/G502X from what I've seen have LOUD scroll wheels (sorry that I mention these a lot, it's just they seem to get generally most recommended) and the g502x clicking sound does sound straight up bad. That's it pretty much, hope I'm not limiting the options very much. In the end if nothing really comes up I might consider just getting a new Basilisk, but I've not had the best experience with Razer Chroma. Thank you everyone in advance!!
r/MouseReview • Looking for a Sub 70€ mouse with specific preferences (Listed below) ->I knooow it's just I've kind of gotten used to it by this point. I moved to the Basilisk essential from a Trust GXT 101 and man that felt much better-I think the ergo shapes are just better suited for me. Seems like the options for stuff like this in this range is mostly clones with newer chips, which don't seem all that bad so far. The Essential is no longer available sadly so my plans to just get a direct replacement end there, but what's the general consensus on the Basilisk V3 from the community? It seems to hang at a similar price.
r/MouseReview • Looking for a Sub 70€ mouse with specific preferences (Listed below) ->deathadder v2 is nice I use that one currently. I'm interested in the basilisk wired, I hate wireless for gaming. Too much lag. I had a mamba chroma b4 it was good but had to fix the wheel twice. Deathadder hasn't let me down yet and I like that I can reprogram the DPI keys
r/razer • Which mice you guys recommend for people with very largue hands? ->Anything wired from endgame gear is probably the best for geometry dash (if you use a claw grip). The razer basilisk (wired) is probably better if you use a palm grip though.
r/MouseReview • What mouse would you recommend for the games I go on? ->Mine broke after about a year of using it. Admittedly I am rough with my mice. But it would do things like randomly make me look down/up, not register inputs, and not allow me to look around while holding m4/m5
r/OverwatchUniversity • My friend is trying to get me into Overwatch, but I'm not sure if her advice is actually that good. Can anyone offer me some guidance as a beginner? ->this goes for 99% of video games you cant go wrong with a g502 (or if you prefer razer, one of deathadder viper or basilisk will suit you)
r/WorldOfWarships • Anybody use a gaming mouse??? ->It affects battery life too much since most people are turning towards wireless. There are still some mice like G502 X Plus with lines on its back or one of the Razer Basilisk even has it on the sides so it shines on the mousepad.
r/MouseReview • Is rgb in mouse dead? ->Generally mice that are more open. The G502 and Basilisk thumb area is a bit cramped. I don't have thick fingers, but long ones and my thumbs are a bit wider at the tips than on most people. The EC1 shape is good for working because it's super relaxed. But I aim better with the FK1 XL shape, Viper and similar works great too - less comfortable though.
r/MouseReview • Why Logitech G502 is the best mouse ever made ->As other people mentioned: Logitech superlight Razer viper v3 pro Razer deathadder v3 pro (fakers mouse) And i think the g 605 and razer basilisk also have a few users
r/leagueoflegends • most popular mouse used by pros in 2025 ->Windows can only recognize two side buttons natively and they're always called Mouse4 and Mouse5. Other buttons have to be assigned to a keyboard button, otherwise they won't be recognized. Look for MMO-mice if you want really many buttons. Otherwise Logitech G502, Razer Basilisk and Glorious Model i2 are options to consider.
r/MouseReview • Anybody know any mouses with Non-Programmable and Programmable side buttons with a good amount of them? ->Razer Basilisk, Glorious i2 are probably your best bets. I would go for a Basilisk. By the way, it is *mouse*, *mice* is only if you talk about more than one mouse (some people also use mouses when it comes to the computer peripheral, but to me that sounds just idiotic)
r/MouseReview • My 3 y/o gaming mice just broke, I need a new mouse ASAP! Any recommendations? ->I had a Razer Basilisk and it ate my batteries like crazy (Maybe it was faulty but i didn't wanna bother with it anymore). I would like to have a good mouse that charges with USB C and isn't too bad in terms of input latency and tracking. Are there any options that are worth the money? I hope its okay to ask these questions here because i have no damn idea about the mouse space lol :D
