"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."

"now a year and a half in, the rubber where your thumb lays on the left side has worn through to the plastic."
AggravatingDay8392 1.0Are you sure your hands are average size? 😂 V1 and V3, never had a problem
cebixd 1.0Using the basilisk since v1 from 2018, recently switched to basilisk v3, the best mouse for me. I like that shape, it sits so well in hand.
DisastrousFootJob 1.0I know I'll probably get hate but the Razer basilisk line has always shaped to my hand perfectly. I had the OG for 3-4 years and finally got the V3 Pro last week, still loving it.

HighSkuid 1.0Hey, I got a Basilisk V1 and my ring finger is wether partially on the right button, wether laying on the mouse carpet.. And the pinky is bending so the tip can "hold" the mouse. I know this is not a good shape for my hand but I got used to this mouse. I realized with time that it's really a small mouse and we might need a bigger mouse. I feel you about the strange right side... (I tried adding a pic) https://preview.redd.it/oerpfprk3sjf1.png?width=1560&format=png&auto=webp&s=cf69165d7108c96bf5db3994324f3385330b1dba
Its_anomic 1.0Razer basilisk v3 pro hands down. I originally got the v1 when it came out, and since then I’ve never had any hardware issues and it still works as well as the day I bought it. However, over the years I ended up wearing down the rubber part where your thumb sits so recently I decided to upgrade to the v3. IMO it’s basically just the same mouse but better. Sturdier/higher quality construction, wireless AND wired (I’m not completely sold on the whole wireless tech standard so having the option is a big plus personally), better rgb, feels snappier/more responsive, more comfortable ergonomics, scroll wheel switch, better glide, etc.
jugglingelectrons 1.0Wired Basilisk 1 and 2 have held up for a long time. When I retired the 1 years ago from gaming, I brought it to work as my daily user and it is still fine.

PerfosWithoutAnime 1.0I had first iteration for years and it worked perfectly fine. Now i have V3 and it's working just fine. Of Course main problems are with rubber grips, but thats pretty normal for rubber to wear off.
AlexsCereal 0.4I have the original wireless Basilisk and I have used it just about every day for my job and for gaming for the last three years. I have taken it with me to multiple different states and job sites loose in my backpack, dropped it more times than I can count, accidentally spilled water on it, and it still works like new. It has outlasted my Naga V2 Hyperspeed, which has developed scrolling issues after a year of use, so I definitely stand by the Basilisk for something affordable and reliable.
1koolking 0.1I’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.
