Using 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.

I 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.

Hey, 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

Wired 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.

I 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.

r/pcmasterraceBest Budget Wireless Mouse Option

I 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.

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.

r/razerWhich mice you guys recommend for people with very largue hands?

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
