This 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.

Even though I like big mouses and some weight. This mouse feels very awkward to use while holding it. Had to return it

Razer basilisk mobile is true fingertip mouse, it's very short in length. Infinite scroll is good, 1k polling only and no LOD adjustment at the moment

I 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.

Bad 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

Can 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.

I 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.

Dang 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
