Razer - Basilisk Ultimate

Razer are terrible especially in the mouse game. I have a Basilisk Ultimate wireless and it has major problems with the scroll wheel and phantom/missed scrolls. Many people have reported it and it’s all down to cheap hardware with no fix available. I’d go Logitech G series if you want a gaming mouse?

Razer, Logitech & Steelseries are the go to for most people, it depends on grip and hand size what you prefer. I went with the Razer basilisk ultimate. 

Hey u/International_Use367, SUUUUUPER WEIRD but I'm in the exact situation and have spent most of the day looking for the EXACT SAME THING. I mean super exact! I too own a Basilisk (Ultimate) and I dug out my ancient Deathadder Chroma earlier today to test it out (turns out this was more comfortable than my Basilisk this whole time.. https://preview.redd.it/lt150792kxbf1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3913dd8c962b32be5869fa1eabde894b2eb64f18 I also wandered around a store today, mostly to check out the G502 because it's what everyone recommends, but the size and shape is extremely similar to the Basilisk (as far as I could tell from spending 5 minutes fondling one in a store), having handled one I have no idea why people recommend it. I think probably the next candidates I checked out were the Corsair Ironclaw, and the MX Master 3 from Logitech. Or one of those super weird vertical ergo things, but I dunno if I'm ready for that yet. I swiped this G403 Hero off someone because the scroll wheel died on it, it's pretty close to the Deathadder but there's not much in it. But if you happen to see this and find or get a recommendation that works for you, could you pass it along to me or tag me on it? Would be super appreciated.

Still typing on a Razer BlackWidow TE I have had for a long time (which I believe is unsupported at this point) and using a wireless Basilisk I got in 2021. Never had their headsets though. Had a DeathAdder that lasted me about 2 years tops.

Logitech has a massive amount of brainless fanboys. They have the same quality issue with garbage cheap omron mechanical microswitches as Razer (and any other brand) but yet they're almost immune to being criticized for it while Razer is being shit on all the time. What makes that even funnier is that Razer was faster to start using optical switches that solve that issue and yet people still shit on Razer and suck up to Logitech. I'm using Basilisk Ultimate with optical switches for 3.5 years for now with absolutely 0 issues. By far the longest I've ever used a single mouse. I've never in my life made it more than 1.5 years without developing double click issues on any mouse from any brand ever, until that. So basically for me optical switches are absolute must, I'm never buying a piece of shit without them again. The only thing that makes me want to change that Basilisk to anything else is Synapse, lol. And also recently I got to try using a lighter mouse so something more lightweight would be nice as well.

Razer Basilisk Ultimate, 4k hours across 2 accounts.

I have the first wireless Razer Basilisk that they released, got it for like 20 bucks at the time from a seller in Hong Kong. Currently almost 3 years old and the best mice I've ever owned, but with how expensive the new Basilisks are now, not sure if I'll stay on this line of mice from Razer if mine ever dies.

Been using a wireless basilisk v2 ultimate for like.. 5 years now without issue. Absolutely love mine and have had zero issues but it's almost time for a replacement due to the soft touch material on the thumb and finger pads wearing down to the plastic lol. For reference, there's atleast 10,000 hours usage on it.

weird I still daily use my 2019 Basilisk Ulti other than the rubberized sections still works like a champ.

I'm looking for a durable gaming mouse that will last me several years without developing problems with double-clicking buttons or scroll wheel issues. Palm grip is my preference, but I’m not too fussed about advanced specs since I’m more of a casual gamer. Having more extra buttons to program would be great and also the mouse looking nice (obviously low priority on that!). I have owned a few mouses (or wait mice?) and have had issues with all of them. The ones I remember the best are: 1. Corsair Harpoon wireless: Double click issue which became unbearable. 2. Razer Basilisk Ultimate: Bought it since it had optical switches to avoid the double click issue, but ended up having scroll issues (and the recommendation to blow on the wheel didn't work!). The horizontal buttons on the wheel work out as a workaround, but I like being able to program those instead of using it for scrolling. I'll admit, I'm not the best at maintaining my devices so a part of it is because of frequently dropping it and stuff, but I'm sure there must be sturdy mice out there for me! Reliability and build quality are my top priorities. Suggestions for models or brands known for excellent longevity would be really appreciated! The cheaper the better for me, but I'm willing to shill out a bit more if it'll last me a really long while.

Is logitech back to being good again? They got bought out by some company in China years ago, and ever since then, their mouse quality went to complete shit. They start double clicking in 3 months or less. After my Logitech mouse from like 2006 died after like 14ish years of use, I naturally thought, dang, this Logitech mouse lasted me so long, might as go ahead and buy a new one with the bells and whistles. Nope. Went through 3 of the top of the line ones at the time, can't remember the name. Every single one started double clicking, each one faster than the next, mainly because I started noticing it sooner probably, it was screwing up my work, not just my gaming. Got an alienware mouse, same thing. Complete garbage. Went to a discord for computer-mouse enthusiasts, explained to them what I wanted and how I was sick of the damn double clicking mice I've been going though. They all talked about how Logitech uses cheap parts that all double click and you have to open them up now and preplace some parts or something with good quality japanese versions. I wasn't about to do that. So they recommended "Razer Basilisk Ultimate". It was wireless, which is what I wanted for my new setup, had two side buttons which is exactly what I wanted as well. And most importantly, it's apparently impossible for it to double click. idk how or why, that's just what I was told. And this mouse has been going strong since...mid 2021. I've now learned to never recommend brands for things that have lasted me over 10 years. I have to check and see if the company was sold or not or if they dipped in quality. You never know. I have an LG monitor that's lasted since 2011. It was my first flat monitor and it still works. Before that, i was still rocking the giant grey 90's monitor, lol. Played so much Oblivion on that thing. And it was big too. I honestly don't know how I did that.

15€ sharkoon shark force 2 i had like 5 of them and now i have razer basilisk ultimate but i cant recommend bc the mousewheel will double click after some time

I’ve been using the Razer Basilisk Ultimate for years now with zero problems. It also has a 3rd mouse button which is useful to me in every game. Couldn’t recommended it enough. Would love to hear others thoughts on it

I’ve had basilisk ultimate for over three years now and basilisk v3 pro for over a year and a half. They still look the same as new. It’s definitely the user that’s at fault here. https://preview.redd.it/gk52qm4lshnf1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=128e59c4393bb6fa5de788b5a6c872f4f3216753

I have huge hands aswell and only Mouse that fits For me is basilisk ultimate. Not lightweight unfortunately but the only one that fits For me.

I suggest you go for Basilisk v3. Not sure whether you’ve previously owned a razer mouse, but I can assure you that their cables are designed in a way that most of the time you don’t even notice them. I picked up the wired version for 50 bucks on black friday. If the cable is too much of a problem for you, go for the pro version, however I highly doubt you’ll find any wireless razer mouse under $100. As for the basilisk, it has 11 programmable buttons, free spin mode for the scroll wheel and overall feels very good in my hand. Edit: The hyperspeed version is wireless and in your price range

The basilisk is my third razer mouse. The cable is braided and is super thin and flexible. Never had any issue with it despite my cables usually being tangled altogether behind my PC. Not sure about the battery life as I’ve never used a wireless mouse. A friend of mine has a cobra pro (Another razer wireless mouse) and says he charges it once a week approx. Battery life could be longer on the basilisk but you’ll have to google that.

my DA 3500g last for 12 years until the wheel gave up. I changed for a basilysk wireless from razer, that pos couldn't last a year and a half, suddenly stopped working, never buying razer products again. oh!, and when the basilisk died my trusty DA replaced until i bought a G305, i miss the shape of the DA tho.

Yep 100% that mouse lasts forever if you take care of it. I also use the Razer Basilisk wireless as a secondary since it has a similar shape (but feels a bit too light).

I use the basilisk and its really good so check that out if you want

But im getting barely 2 days of battery life with local batteries while the orginal ones lasted me for like 3 years so you might have issues with that

I dont know cos i have the wireless one but i assume that will be great considering you wont need to worry about battery

Or just buy the Basilisk with optical switches. Mine has been trucking along for years now.

That was my mouse for a long time because i couldn't use any normal mouse, but razer basilisk saved me

It affects battery life too much since most people are turning towards wireless. There are still some mice like G502 X Plus with lines on its back or one of the Razer Basilisk even has it on the sides so it shines on the mousepad.

Generally mice that are more open. 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. The EC1 shape is good for working because it's super relaxed. But I aim better with the FK1 XL shape, Viper and similar works great too - less comfortable though.

As other people mentioned: Logitech superlight Razer viper v3 pro Razer deathadder v3 pro (fakers mouse) And i think the g 605 and razer basilisk also have a few users

Windows can only recognize two side buttons natively and they're always called Mouse4 and Mouse5. Other buttons have to be assigned to a keyboard button, otherwise they won't be recognized. Look for MMO-mice if you want really many buttons. Otherwise Logitech G502, Razer Basilisk and Glorious Model i2 are options to consider.

I had a Razer Basilisk and it ate my batteries like crazy (Maybe it was faulty but i didn't wanna bother with it anymore). I would like to have a good mouse that charges with USB C and isn't too bad in terms of input latency and tracking. Are there any options that are worth the money? I hope its okay to ask these questions here because i have no damn idea about the mouse space lol :D

I like my basilisk but I hate razor software and there’s no hardware default for the rgb so I’m stuck with the awful rainbow effect

Depends on your preferences. I have small hands and just bought a Razer Basilisk. It's one of the biggest "gaming mice" but still small relative to a typical hand.

How? My Razer Lancehead wireless lasted me almost 8 years before battery died out and double clicks started to happen. I just switched to the Basilisk but just 2 years? That's surprisingly a short life for a mouse

Same experience with my deathadder 😂 My basilisk is starting to do that too 🥲

Corsair's 502 is the M65, Razer's is the Basilisk. Though, I don't think any of them are particularly big mice, the 502 is just really really heavy because of the metal scroll wheel and freescroll, and the side support for the big ass sniper button.

It really depends on OP’s grip style. That’s called a palm grip in the second photo, and it’s a very common grip style.

It's one of the three most common grip styles. People who use a palm grip just move their whole hand across their mousepad if they use a lower DPI. https://preview.redd.it/n3sox6v4kgff1.png?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=c80ca80c73e45362be8d21360d74e338ad02a671

I use a fingertip grip, although the example in the photo is a bit exaggerated. I used to use a palm grip until it got too uncomfortable and my grip style changed over time.

I would go with either a DeathAdder or a Basilisk if you use a palm grip (the way you’re gripping your mouse in the second photo).

G502 and Basilisk are almost identical in size. This dude’s hands are just massive. I have “big” hands and the basilisk was the best sized mouse I could find

I ownes a basilisk for a year now and it smoothed over the part where my thumb is but nothing like that. I just covered it with grip tape and it's fine now.

My hands are about the same size. I used to have a basilisk and it always felt small and annoying. Now I use a G502 Lightspeed. It's still a little small, but the little tab that supports your thumb makes it easy to control the mouse without having to pinch your grip. Imo it's very comfortable.

My razer basilisk got that problem a year after I purchased it. Never another razer product in my life I swear

I usually look for mice that don't have too many side buttons. I never click them, and I never accidentally click them, but I only find the DPI buttons necessary sometimes, and that's fine. My Naga was better suited for MMOs, but I ended up stopping using it due to my busy day-to-day workload. So I started using the Mamba more. Its size is perfect for anything, and I find it very comfortable. I've used the Basilisk a few times with the Deathadder v2. The only drawback with the V2 was the DPI buttons on the right-click and the fact that both are battery-operated.

Odd, I had my razer mouse since I was gaming on my mom’s apple laptop in 2014 lol, it just now gave out beginning of this year, with the mouse click not working. Haven’t opened it up but it might still be an easy fix. Bought a razer basilisk last Black Friday anyway just in case, and it handles like a dream

I replaced my Logitech g502 with a razer basilisk a few years ago and have zero regrets. Zero mechanical issues and feels better than the g502 imo.

I loved my Death Adder but let me tell you, I love my Basilisk even more. Time for an upgrade big guy.

Because I prefer a mouse like the Basilisk and I'd rather not rely on my thumb for so many things.

I've had two G502's, both started having unwanted double click issues after just a year of use. Switched to Razer Basilisk and it's now my favorite mouse after the Logitech MX518 which is no longer being manufactured.

I have hands slightly smaller than yours but I have the same problem and yes basilisk and naga are the only ones that doesn't feel that bad to grab but still... I'm considering buying one of those ergonomic vertical mice just to try and see if that works :(

Realistically speaking other than the Razer Basilisk and the SteelSeries Aerox 9 there isn’t much else out there I believe.

As I said I wouldn’t choose that one either, I’d rather choose the basilisk to be honest. It’s also depend by how many buttons you need and whether you might also want to consider a dual device setup. For instance if you need it for something like WoW whilst I appreciate it’s a matter of preference, I don’t a mouse with a lot of buttons is the right answer.

i had a raza naga and basilisk. I also tried a g203 and razer viper, both of which were too small for my hands.

I’ve used the Basilisk before… dude, your hands are freaking massive!

I prefer the basilisk to those mmo mice. I can't get used to so many buttons that feel the same all in one place. The basilisk gives me plenty of buttons while feeling unique so I don't accidentally press the wrong one. I also use shift and ctrl as modifiers to give myself extra buttons as well.

My basilisk has been doing great for two years now

I've had a razor basilisk for about 5 years and it's sound but I've never had a mouse break tbh

bought 2 last year, deathadder and basilisk, first just died after 4 months, second free spin doesn't work anymore, should've stayed with logitech, g403 still works fine after 7 years , g502 too, they just look bad with the rubber worn off

Razer basilisk! Loved the shape in spite of the weight and how long wireless lasted(had to recharge every couple months maybe)

I got one because I was on a string of bad selections that did not work for me or just failed.  I begrudgingly went back to Razer after having experienced build quality issues in the past, but I went with the Basilisk specifically for the optical switches.  So far it has been okay.  We'll see how long it holds up.

This is one of my problems. I am a gamer and I do office work. The preciseness of mouse is absolute garbage on MX Master. I ended up using my own Razer basilisk on work mouse instead lol.

I've got a razer naga that I've used since like 2010 that's still going very strong. Wife bought me a basilisk recently but i think I'm going to return it for the new wireless naga. It feels so much better in my hand. The basilisk feels so narrow and after a while it tends to cramp my hand.

You may want to look into gaming keypads like the Orbweaver or Tartarus. I find them very comfortable and intuitive for basically all games, but especially MMOs. For mice, I typically do ergonomic with 2,3 thumb bumpers like the g502 or basilisk

Used to have the Naga with the swappable side plates.almost never used the 12 configuration as it felt too clustered. Currently with a basilisk and similar profile to the Logitech one posted If you genuinely thinkk your gonna make the most of macros alot of the time and have the effort to bind all these, Naga other wise logic.

You mean the "RAT" Series. Im still rocking these today! Got my first RAT 7 at 2011. Now, since 3 years i use "RAT 8" and i never want any other mice. Fits like a glove for me since 13 years. tried mutiple others like Razer Basilisk, Corsair Darkstar (for ridiculous 170€ lol) Corsair M65 and a G502. I wasnt happy with any of them. RAT on top. <3

It is, I gave my sister my g502 and was using a razer basilisk, they're pretty much exactly the same size

I love my Razer Basilisk. It's lightweight and very ergonomically comfortable, a button for changing custom dpi profiles, thumb up and down, RGB, and most importantly and customizable scroll wheel. There's a wheel underneath that you can turn to slowly set the scroll wheel to have tighter more defined steps (i.e. more resistant) or go the other way and make it looser. This let me find the absolute perfect balance of how fast I want to scroll in game. Can't remember if I have v2 or v3, I think it's the older one. I'd check but I'm on a trip rn not at home...

[Eloshapes is pretty great for comparing mouse shapes](https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/compare?p=logitech-g502-x-lightspeed-vs.-keychron-m7-vs.-razer-basilisk-x-hyperspeed)  I find that Razer's Basilisk sits perfectly in my hand (rather long fingers). However, I was really annoyed when that thing died after mere 3 years. That’s to say nothing of their software. Since then I got Keychron M7. Ergonomics are slightly worse, but it's an infinitely better mouse in every other way. 

If you used superlight 2 and you liked that shape, pulsar just released a new shape colab, pulsar susanto x (it is similar but not same exact shape). A lot of people said is tood, you can watch some reviews on youtube. I have xlite v4 size 2, lamzu thorn, razer basilisk, and pulsar x2h. Now I am waiting in my new susanto X.

Big hand person here as well, the closest I've come to getting anything remotely close to fit my hand is the Basilisk.

Our hands are about the same size and I’ve loved using the Razer Basilisk. I do have my complaints about the price but I love how it fits my hand and it’s held up pretty well over a few years.

Razer basilisk is an excellent mouse.

Huge fan of Razer basilisk . Would recommend it. Wired version is under 40 bucks.

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

I usually use a basilisk, but this will be for my legion go setup and that mouse is way to big.to fit in the bag so unless I go with the mobile one, I feel cobra may be best bet. Unless I decide to go mega portable and just stick with logi stuff. But the new cobra is by far the lightest of all the mice which is surprisingly as its not battery powered like most the others

Naga felt worse for me than Basilisk. The pinky rest was nice, but not having the thumb rest that the Basilisk has was a huge no go and I ended up returning the Naga because of it. I had to change my grip to avoid hitting the side buttons because my thumb was not at rest.

I actually had that setup for my gaming PC and loved it EXCEPT, if I will say I had random disconnect/reconnections if I used that extra Mouse Dock Pro as my wireless receiver. Not sure if that was eventually patched, I moved on to the Razer Viper V3 Pro. If you aren’t getting that extra charging dock you shouldn’t have anything to worry about, but if you are (or are open to it) I’d see if people are still experiencing the reconnects. I will say, the ProClick, the Balsilisk, both are very comfortable. You’d be happy either way Not an ad I just really like Razer’s mice 😂

As someone who uses a tartarus daily, I say go that route. I am biased though because I love my tartarus and have used it in place of a regular keyboard for gaming for the last 10+ years. If you go for the tartarus, a Razer Basilisk is a solid option for a 'cheap' gaming mouse. You can pick it up for like $40, has good tracking, clicks feel fine. Primary reason I recommend the Basilisk as the cheap mouse alongside the tartarus is that you're already going to be using Razer Synapse software, so might as well not also have to run Corsair's iCue or Logitech's software alongside it.

I had a Deathadder from like 2011 or 2012 until 2021 and I’ve had a Basilisk ever since. The Deathadder still had life in it, I just felt like getting a Basilisk.

I’ve had nothing but razer mice through the years. The only thing that seems to happen to them all (for me, knock on wood) is the grip on the side will come off at some point and just need to be crazy glued. No biggie. Other than that (for mice) I love them. Having had a death adder, mamba, and now basilisk I recommend the basilisk of you play a lot of deferent games like I do. It will perform more then well for competitive, but also have enough buttons to macro for action games. Being able to click the scroll button left and right is a big help. That said if you play a lot of strategy or mmo’s my brother loves the naga. Has like 15 buttons. Pretty sure they make a newer version

Ich also have big hands and love the Razer Basilisk Or the Logitech G502

Your hands look slightly longer than mine and the Basilisk feels like a toy to me

i have large and thick hands, 8+ inches from middle finger to palm and razer naga was the most comfortable mouse I've ever tried and I've had many. It felt molded. I got the razer basilisk and meh 🤢

Same thing happened to my death adder. I replaced it with a basilisk. Pretty happy. Very comfortable mouse for a larger hand.

I just got the Pro Click V2, and it's good for large hands. I had the Basilisk before I got this one, and it was great too, but the Pro Click V2 is a bit bigger and has a great ergonomic shape.

Name me rich wow tryhard thats willing to have 2 seperate mouse for 2 seperate reason. Most people just chill with one mouse beside very few people like me I use basilisk for moba/mmo (obviously because theres m4m5m6)

Superlight fan here too. I have the 502X and the Basilisk and never use them. Plus they don't come in magenta like this does, which is critically important.

There is a whole subreddit dedicated to mice enthusiasts r/mousereview but you will get all kinds of opinions on there. I went with the [Wirecutter’s](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-wired-wireless-gaming-mouse/) top pick the Razer Basilisk and have been happy with it for the last 3 years.

I use the basilisk as well and it's the largest I have found for gaming that's somewhat normal so lmk if you figure out a bigger and better option

I think the only thing MX Master has that Basilisk doesn't is a better scroll wheel.

Been using the razer basilisk for about 6 years now and I don't see myself switching any time soon

That logitech is comparable to the basilisk, not so much the naga

For a lightweight, superlight Dex. If you are ok with more weight, the Razer basilisk has the most comfortable shape for palm imo.

Only issue with razer mice is the scroll wheel problem. Have used basilisk and orochi v2 and both had the scrolling problem that when you scroll down it sometimes keeps scrolling up. Changing the encoder works or properly clearing dust from the inside but mane are these mice so hard to reassemble and the fact you need to know how to solder to replace the encoder yourself.

Razer basilisk. Personally not a fan of too many buttons on the mouse

the battery in my basalisk lasts about 1/3 as long as my old as crap pwnage (zero lights enabled on both). that was brand new. now a year and a half in, the rubber where your thumb lays on the left side has worn through to the plastic. pretty disappointed.

Razer Basilisk. For the extra buttons on the mouse I have the map, auto run and sound decrease set to them. Used the mamba tournament edition before that and it lasted me 10+ years before it started having issues. I love the shape of the basilisk tho. Much more comfortable

Deathadder, go with it. Or save up and buy Basilisk

Yeah and it's a great mouse. Personally I love its shape. Super comfy

you might need a 3d printer. your hands are massive and the razer basilisk is one of the larger mice available. only thing bigger would be a track ball mouse.

My old razer viper mini and basilisk are still going strong with 0 issues.

Yep same love the basillisk

I went on a similar journey as you, from mx master 3, then razer basilisk, then Logitech g502x, then Keychron M6. My main goal was to find something that fit the ergonomic shape of mx master, but a wired version of that. I have just started using the Redragon M811, and I’m loving it so far. It fits in my hand much better than the M6. It’s also wired and has a *ton* of buttons you can map. There’s no horizontal scroll wheel though. This one is definitely the best I have found for my goal of wired mouse that feels similar in shape to mx master.

I use a Razer Basilisk and cheap Razer mouse pad...i should probably invest in something better but don't really know where to start I'm currently gold complete

My Deathadder mouse broke when our rabbit chewed through the cable. I had that thing for many years with no problems. I bought a Razer Basilisk to replace it and it's been great. I've also had a Razer Blackwidow Elite keyboard for 2 years and some of the keys just started occasionally not registering key presses. The "o" key, the windows key and the "|" (pipe) key, all of which I use a lot. When it stops registering key presses it might be for a few minutes, hours or days before it magically starts working again. Razer support wont even talk to you when the keyboard is out of warranty. I am not happy about that at all and am replacing it with a Keychron V6. I used to buy Logitech stuff but they were even worse quality. I never had a Logitech mouse last more than 2 years before it started double clicking. Their keyboards are garbage too. The wireless on them doesn't reach more than 2 feet. Anything further than that and I get connection drops. I'll never buy Logitech again. I'm not quite there with Razer because I do like their mice. I work from home and use the mouse and keyboard for at least 8 hours a day. I went with the Keychron keyboard this time because the switches are hot swappable so if one breaks I can take it out and pop another in.

The "o" key, the windows key and the "|" (pipe) key, all of which I use a lot. When it stops registering key presses it might be for a few minutes, hours or days before it magically starts working again. Razer support wont even talk to you when the keyboard is out of warranty. I am not happy about that at all and am replacing it with a Keychron V6. I used to buy Logitech stuff but they were even worse quality. I never had a Logitech mouse last more than 2 years before it started double clicking. Their keyboards are garbage too. The wireless on them doesn't reach more than 2 feet. Anything further than that and I get connection drops. I'll never buy Logitech again. I'm not quite there with Razer because I do like their mice. I work from home and use the mouse and keyboard for at least 8 hours a day. I went with the Keychron keyboard this time because the switches are hot swappable so if one breaks I can take it out and pop another in.

Sorry this is gonna be long response but your problem is something I have explored for a while and am passionate about lol. I agree it's pretty frustrating to find light mice with lots of buttons. I also love mice with 6+ buttons. Besides the aforementioned Aerox line (or even Rival 5) from Steelseries, there aren't a lot of options as they all start pushing 100g. An alternative is the corsair m65 which has tilt gestures, or the razer basilisk, but these mice are still 100g There are a couple things you can do to solve your problem though. One is software related, and the other is ergonomic modding related. Software can increase your binds, while modding can make mice (feel) lighter # Software: Use button shifting/layering in software to increase the number of buttons you have available. The only companies that I know of that do this is Logitech (G-shift), Razer (hypershift), Roccat (Easyshift) and fortunately your Glorious mouse (Layer Shift)! Try playing around in your glorious CORE software to enable layer shift and then you can effectively double/triple your binds # Modding: Mod your existing mouse (or one you like with lots of buttons) to improve ergonomics and grip strength. This in turn allows a stronger hold on your mouse thus making it feel lighter. This is pretty much what I did when all the mice I liked were heavy but had 8+ buttons lol For example, I too love my g600 and use it for a lot of stuff. I took it apart to solder new switches and i found out it has 2 metal plates inside to add weight (absolute blasphemy!). I took those out and it reduced the g600 by 30g, so now it's only about 100g, which is pretty light by my personal standards. Then I added grip tape to the sides and a wedge for my pinky, then switched out the stock cable for a paracord cable and now the g600 feels like a lightweight dream to use. Consider Clawmates by Struth Gaming for comfortable wedges to put on a mouse with lots of buttons. I use clawmates on a spatha X and razer basilisk for competitive FPS games and they feel plenty good to flick and track with, even with their heavy weights Hopefully all this info helps. Happy mouse searching/modding, pal! #

I have tried 3 different razor mice over the years. Don't like them at all. I am a hardcore FPS gamer so this is my absolute most important tool for my gaming. Razor products just seem wildly overpriced for average at best performance, and shelf life. I had a terrible time with the basilisk. I'm here because last year I read some obscure blurb about a Roccat mouse. I really liked it but it's starting to fail already. Sigh... I have also had a plethora of Logitech products. I am not a big fan of Logitech either. However their mice seem far superior to razor. Just the quality of the material anc builds seem superior to razor. That being said. I am looking for something different from these to brands. If I don't find anything I'll start browsing the best logitech mouse out there. If anyone has other suggestions I would love to look at them.

Surprised the basilisk isn’t there, insanely good mouse a a little bit of a premium price.

Not to mention that synaps is god tier awful. Seriously, it's like they go out of their way to have shit software. Back when I had a basilisk It was a constant struggle just to get synaps to open. Even after adding permissions, I'd have to do a funky chicken dance of opening normally, then open as an admin, then open normally again just to get synaps to let me in lol. And that only had like a 75% success rate. I've since got a logitech and had 0 problems.

I just switched from Logitech MX Masters to Basilisks, of cause Basilisks performance is way better. But from my hold experience ergonomic perspective I think the MX Masters shape holds better.I can see the Pro Click shape is close to MX Masters

The Pro Click is lack of the big side button which I do need for a shortcut. I don't know, I'm a casual player occasionally play some games, maybe just stay with Basilisks for now which I think is a good balance for me.

I think I'm highly align with you. I'm looking for a mice can do both productivity and game, maybe 70% productivity & 30% games. I do play MMO, like WoW but I don't need those buttons like Naga. All I need is something can be a good balance for productivity and casual player. Like you said, MX Master 3S is the king, but it doesn't support onboard memory which means I cannot have my customised key on work laptop

It can happen for any number of reasons. Most common is from moisture and oils in your skin. Secondarily is from high heat and/or humidity. Then there is breakdown from chemicals, extraneous oils, and other reasons. As an example; The thumb-side on my Basilisk has degraded down to the plastic underneath, and the pinky side has a definite groove and the texture has almost disappeared in other spots. However, I live in an environment that is 30 C average indoors (I don't use AC, just fans) and around 80% average relative humidity. Soft-touch Rubber degrades into a gummy mess, and leatherette delaminates, peels and flakes within a few months. So if you live in a relatively cool and dry environment (not super cold, the rubber will crumble that way too) then it is much more durable.

I use a razer black widow keyboard and basilisk mouse. So far I've had no problems and I have some fun with the chroma RGB lighting. I'm also just a casual gamer For a headset I have the Steel Series actis nova. It's wonderful

Got razer basilisk for about 5y, still going but may need to replace soon. Got for 40ish € back then. I believe 100€ mouse are stupid overpriced (mine already is as well tbh).

Well I got the aerox 9 and the corsair scimitar. I bought the Scimitar later because the Aerox broke after just under two years. The Aerox looks nice and is lighter, but its design is simply flawed. All the dirt gets in, and there's no real way to clean it. After using the Scimitar for a while, I have to say that it's the better mouse in a direct comparison. I also have a Razer Basilisk, and of all the Razer products I've had, I've always thought that they were far too overpriced.

I also have a keyboard from Corsair. I therefore recommend the Scimitar. Believe me, you'll be happier with this mouse than with the Aerox or a Razer product

Basilisk. With the buttons on the mouse remapped to ensure my keyboard hand doesn't have to reach for buttons in a funky way. I find a mouse with more buttons better... but not too many as to get confused or hit the wrong buttons by accident.

dunno... basilisk feels good for me https://preview.redd.it/1uttm0h4fwbf1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7a4a3f07fe8186ab79cb357ff4d930b6c680e88

I use raser basilisk, the one with three buttons on the side and I use mouse software to map ctrl and shift to the front button and the pressure paddle beneath it, and use the button closest to the base of my thumb for tab targetting. Can use around 40 actions comfortably with qe12345rtfgvbn and a combination of shift, ctrl or shift and ctrl as my hotbar buttons

Thats fucking crazy. I specifically bought the basilisk bc my hands are massive (about 9.5-10 inches) and it was just barely big enough, bc it looks like a fuckin golfball for you. the only one i can think of its the sniper pro by red dragon, but even that one's just slightly bigger than the basilisk

Mac support is improving. They recently released Razer Synapse for Mac, currently in beta. Previously, I had to setup my Razer Basilisk on a separate Windows PC. Tested the beta, no issues with it on Mac now.

Bro I have the same issue. I too use it as an excuse for my aim lol. The unfortunate part is that even if you google gaming or computer mice for big hands. the Basilisk (I own the same one.) is actually in the top 3 pretty consistently. If you want to stick with razer then see if there new ergo Pro Click V2 vertical would fit. Also report back, I'm curious lol. the logic is that because it's vertical it is more palm too mouse ration. My logic in this thinking is that I'm a care giver for disabled adults. I recently helped one of my clients who had a stroke use a Azeron Cyro (look it up they are really cool, but expensive). Since I can use both hands i help him get all the macro keys set up per game he wants to play. What I noticed is that the fact that its a vertical build. For my hands. (which are pretty similar to yours.) actually fit in that mouse VERY comfortably. Just some food for thought.

I just switched to a Basilisk as well. My only two gripes are that when using the scroll wheel, there is a loud, audible click when switching between regular and infinite scrolling. Also, battery life is no where near the MX3s that I had, but overall I am still happy.

My Razer basilisk has been going strong for like 3 years so far, the biggest problem is the scro wheel is much looser but that’s, entirely my fault when trying to make it speed fast while unlocked…

I have a Razer Basilisk that was doing that kind of crap, getting mad at it not clicking right by slamming it on my desk seemed to fix it, might as well give it a try. 🤷🏻

Easily can be both. Just like my basilisk is a great work mouse

Basilisk is my experience with large hands the best option from razer

people on here are super into peformance above all else so you won't find any RGB mice recommendations but like others said the G502X Plus and the latest Razer Basilisk are still really well, well built mice with very good tech (sensors, clicks etc) that have RGB. The main issue for me with RGB is that it kills battery life. And wireless today is so good, to have my G502X's battery life drop from 100 hours to 30 hours just so it can look nice on the desk is not worth it. But the wired G502X doesn't have any RGB (what the fuck Logitech) so I don't know what to tell ya.

I find the Razer Basilisk line to be pretty comfortable, though it's a bit heavy. You'd likely be well served by something lighter as well to move around with less effort. Pulsar Xlite, Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Dex and Razer Deathadder V3 are good choices.

I went from the MX3 to basilisk too and never looked back. It's an all around better mouse. Lower the polling rate and you'll get good battery life too

Yeah I'm with you, never personally experienced bad Razer products. I'm still running a Huntsman/Basilisk combo I got in 2019, before that was Black Widow from maybe 2013? I only swapped because I wanted the new Quartz kb/m combo, the Black Widow went to my wife who used it right until she bough her Mac and swapped to the Mac keyboard! It still works but it's relegated to the cupboard for now.

The Basilisk is a great mmo mouse, plenty of buttons and you can make macros to save on a bit of button mashing.

I’ve been using a Logitech g900 chaos spectrum for about 9 years, only thing I changed is a magnetic charging port so all I have to do is retract a cable and magnetically swipe it on. It lasts for me about a week on the battery and has customizable buttons and plates. Used the basilisk as well for 6 months it just wasn’t it for me(and used plenty of other mice as well).

Same hand size and same mouse!  You do get used to it, I think the Basilisk is the best for the size and the side wing for your thumb.  Remember though, bigger mices are not better for aiming, they are heavier and will require more effort to move, even if you don't feel it, there will be more delay since it will require more force to move as if you had a lighter one. 

I've had good experiences with Razer, have both a Basilisk and a Deathadder V2 Hyperspeed and both are awesome. They use a AA battery and it lasts a loooooong time.

I have a literal box of deathadders because I had this thing where I thought I had to keep the same mouse to keep my aim consistent...they'd double click after like 1 month. I must have like 7 of them... Eventually said fuck it and got a basilisk, optical buttons. They can't double click. I think the fact I clicked them on the front left edge caused them to break faster, too much leverage.

Man, I still have remember finding this guy on super clearance in a local mall about 10 years ago, what a awesome mouse with a fun UI for its customization software. It's definitely not as big, but I've been using the Razer Basilisk, so a mouse that's that shape might be solid option as a replacement imo

Speaking of my favorite mouse of all time, I was just wondering when they were going to release a new model. Personally, I've only had the chroma version malfunction. Now I just wish they would make it slightly smaller and slightly lighter, nothing drastic. I own almost everyone except I believe the very first one of two they were way too big for my hand.

I use an MMO mouse with 1-12 on the side. Program those buttons to whatever you like, for example in FPS’ I use 4 as melee and 5 as grenade, etc. I’ve used razer naga molten, v2 and I just bought hyperspeed, love them. I’d recommend something like that. https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/ff3c0108-ae4d-4e03-a3ac-6c69a45d4e22.f6153b072aacaf0ff4f99182a3db7949.jpeg

I have the razer hyperspeed, don't get it. It uses batteries and weighs so much unless you get special batteries. Haven't had 1 and 2 but go with one of them
