Basilisk Essential

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!!

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.

avoid it. get a razer essentials they are cheaper or something else.

I’ve been seeing adds for them lately. I’m looking to replace my basilisk as the scroll wheel skips constantly. How would you rate the keychron mouse?

I have a Razer Basilisk wired version and while it works and is very comfortable, the scroll wheel skips like a giddy school girl. It became such a problem that I had to disable scroll wheel weapon swapping entirely as it would randomly make me swap weapons when I don’t want to. I’m one more SD away due to unwanted rocket launcher from smashing this thing with a hammer. I’d look into Logitech as I only ever hear good things from that brand.

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

Have you considered wired versions of the Basilisk? Or maybe you can find the previous V3 Pro (not the 35K version) on sale?

The previous one has it too. The difference is that on 35K you can set the threshold when it auto-switches from ratchet to free spin, while on the previous V3 Pro this is hard-coded at a certain speed. Basically, works the same but there’s no fine-tuning. Odd. Still, if you like the one setting on the previous model, you wouldn’t care.
