24kTHCThis mouse is a compact mouse that's a compact version of one of their most popular models, which is the Basilisk. We upgraded from the Logitech G705 because of the form factor and the lightness. It turned out that this one was a lot more lightweight. It just feels a lot more lightweight, the Razer model compared to the Logitech. It's extremely more responsive and a lot more accurate. DPI is felt right away, even with a Bluetooth connection. It's so much more superior than the Logitech model that we previously had. The battery life also lasts an incredible amount of time, but just the form factor is designed with brilliance. It feels great, and it just is one of my favorite all-time mice I ever had. I'm also coming from the Logitech series, the MX Master Series, and I had the first three models but eventually started hurting my hand. It's too heavy, too bulky. I need something that can last me all day and night because I work on the computer for a massive amount of time. For a while, the Logitech was my go-to, but the rubber on the scroll wheel just got too dirty and I couldn't clean it. I decided to look for something better, and I'm glad I did because I found my new favorite mouse ever.

AmiyokaEven though I like big mouses and some weight. This mouse feels very awkward to use while holding it. Had to return it
CasherInCO74I just bought one today to give a test drive. My normal daily drivers have been the MX Master 3s for the desk, and the MX Anywhere 3s for my laptop bag. The Basilisk mobile is right in the middle in terms of size - which fits my hands well, and is lighter (by about 25 grams) than even the MX Anywhere. When I want to game - I have to switch to something else entirely (Pulsar X2V2). Like OP, I am kind of in that middle space where I want something I can game with, but if I am being completely honest I spend A LOT more time doing work stuff. Only a day in on the use, but this is kinda the "Goldilocks" size/ weight/ feature set for me.
Cough-A-ManiaBad mouse. Lots of people say it’s very unwieldy and there’s a lot of other things wrong with it such as no onboard memory. I actually made a comment a while ago when it released on a post in r/mousereview saying everything that it didn’t do good on
FourUnderscoreExKayCan agree to this. All the random gaps end up causing a lot of hand gunk to get built up in between those cracks. You’re forced to use Synapse to make the RGB functional, otherwise it’s just the default rainbow cycling. The chunk of stiffy that’s pitching a tent off to the left also fucks with people who don’t have spare room on their desk and the ergonomics are also super awkward because the palm rests really high for no reason. Just get something like a DeathAdder or something with a simple and basic design. All of the Basilisks do too much and have too much going on.
Frozen_Red_FoxI wrote a review about this mouse [https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/1q0nysj/im\_in\_love\_with\_the\_razer\_basilisk\_mobile/](https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/1q0nysj/im_in_love_with_the_razer_basilisk_mobile/) Nice little mouse. I like the fact it has the most of the feature of the Basilisk or G502 in a compact shape.
hamstacrazeDang that thing is huge. Definitely not a portable mouse. Trying to find a portable mouse with rgb. But I think the basilisk is even too big so might have to go the original pro click the basilisk mobile or the new co ra hyper speed is at least more slim
happydedaikonHi all, I've lurked enough in this sub to understand that the basilisk mobile is very much not a mouse that most people in here are interested in, or even know about. For the typical crowd here's a brief synopsis: It is too heavy for size, has a really low sensor position, already outdated sensor tech, textured rubber sides aren't as grippy as regular coatings, and it has a very weird side curvature on the right that makes it difficult to get a very solid grip on it (flares out towards the bottom of the mouse a bit too much which kinda makes your fingers want to slide up). It's not terrible at fps performance based on a brief session with the mouse but it is better suited for some less aim reliant games (helldivers anyone?). Shape-wise, it's obviously very similar to the m720 but its a fair bit smaller than it, little squareish in proportions but the main standout points are going to be that thumbrest that kinda gets in the way if you tilt your mouse inwards like me and also the right side which is also not the tallest and is a bit slippery on my claw grip especially if I grip too hard. But for those who may have a use case and criteria similar to me, I'm highly recommending the mouse regardless of the above issues. If you're always bothered by the sudden jump in quality going from a nice lightweight gaming mouse (I main the hyperlight) to an office mouse but miss the features and usability of office mice for tasks like spreadsheets (as entailed by my occupation in the title) then the idea of a light(er) weight m720 makes a TON of sense as a productivity mouse. I don't give up features such as dongle storage, side scroll, infinite scroll, Bluetooth, and I even get an extra macro button on the side. Instead, I add on aspects of gaming mice I like to the m720 such as: a half decent sensor, light-ish weight, optical switches, 1k polling (instead of 125 which SUCKS), and best of all, without it looking like total doodoo (g502x, nightsabre, xtrfy m50). This really only leaves the Keychron M6 and the basilisk mobile which just came down to size since the m6 is just honestly such a large mouse. If looks and weight are not too much of an issue, the xtrfy m50 is a very good option that sits at \~50 bucks. But a g502x that you find on FB marketplace for cheap or an M6 would be great choices as well. As long as Razer doesn't total shit the bed with quality control, I'm expecting this to live between my desk and work bag as a permanent productivity / light gaming mouse alongside my suspiciously growing collection of gaming mice. TLDR: smaller 1k polling gamer version of a m720 works really well as a productivity mouse with gaming mouse features. works alright for fps but far from a best choice
Mmm no on board storage is definitely questionable. I had no use for using anything software based so I’m not bothered but I can see how this could be a deal breaker for others
