"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"they are extremely durable. ... I’ve got well over 1000 miles out of a pair and they still have grip and the uppers are in great shape"
"I've used them for 1500 miles of multi-day hiking with no issues!"

"Theyre somehow better than my big bose quietcomfort pair"
"I've used a razer Basilisk v2 pretty much 9-5 for the last couple of years, and it's still working perfectly. ... Some cosmetic wear, but nothing that effects functionality."
"are going strong and are class for everything - travel and running included."

"I couldn't go back to the G502 now I use all 12 buttons!"
"With the Naga I map the center button on the bottom row to shift. ... And with that I can roll my thumb up, left, or right and get another three keybinds. ... And just having shift there also lets me press that for shift, instead of my left pinky. One less thing for my left hand to do. Makes Shift+4 while moving and jumping easier. ... This gives me ready, instant access to the entire hotbar. And with shift, an entire second hotbar (excepting shift+7 and shift+9)."
"Only the Naga let's me assign shift to one of the middle row buttons, then easily roll my thumb left and right to get shift4 or shift6 from just my thumb."

"I use a g502 with all weights attached 💀💀 ... I switch between a g502 and a g pro super light and the difference is like running and waddling through water"
"Thing is a brick ... After using light weight mice it's hard to go back to that weight."
"the weight is way too much even for work."

Ark9975 1.0My dad used to have an older Deathadder, he used that thing for at least 6 years if not more. My Basilisk V2 lasted 9 months and my warranty Basilisk V3 scroll wheel wouldn't click in after 6 months... My Blackshark V2 headset is kind of shitty as well (USB DAC will randomly drop out). I think that the older Razer stuff was built with actual longevity in mind.

bisaccharides 1.0That Razer software is complete garbage. Having lived with both the Basilisk V2 and an MX Master 2 for gaming and work respectively for the past few years, I experienced multiple annoying and time consuming computer issues directly caused by Razer's software, while that literally never happened with the Options+ software. I can say with complete confidence that I will never purchase another Razer product again tbh
Brolafsky 1.0You should look at something like the Zowie ZA11, or Hyperx Pulsefire Surge which are somewhat notable for being pretty large. I've got big hands, not as big as yours, but from border of palm to top of middle fingers I measure 19 centimeters, and palm width; border to border, at about 9.5cm. I get away with using Razer's Basilisk v2 quite comfortably, though I'm only now noticing that I either have to keep my two-outermost fingers in a bit of a claw, or lay them flat along the sides of the mouse. Thanks to this I might look into the Zowie ZA11 or Hyperx Pulsefire Surge in the future. If the Zowie ZA11 doesn't fit you, maybe you should consider reaching out to them with your hand measurements.
Drfeelzgud 1.0Careful the Rabbit hole can run deep in this game, lol. I started out that way. Now I use dual Virpil Alphas with desk mounts, Racing pedals, Loupedeck and Tracker IR5, love the feel of flying with this setup. But any decent mouse and keyboard will get you playing! I used my Razer Basilisk V2 initially, if you like the mmo mice with the multiple side buttons, I could see that working well with all the keybinds in this game too though. Like said elsewhere if you do a lot of cargo, you will want to have a good mouse wheel that is comfortable to use for the tractor beams. I think I have 65 binds on my joystick/pedals and another 80+ on the Loupedeck that's mounted on the right joystick mount when flying, I still use the keyboard/mouse when on foot. Good luck and have fun! o7
Exscidium97 1.0The razer basilisk v2 and v3 both have scroll wheel tilt I believe!
They both definitely have side buttons.. not as many as the naga perhaps, but they definitely have side buttons
gloreeuhboregeh 1.0That's pretty interesting, I bought a Basilisk v2 around 2021 IIRC and it was still going well until 2023 i believe when I went back and traded it in for a v3 at best buy, which I only did because my protection plan was running out and I wanted to get something new to last me way past that deadline. If there's one thing I have to complain about with Razer it'd be the Chroma software but never the actual gear.

jetfaceRPx 1.0I use the razer basilisk 2, I think there's a 3 now. I have big hands and use claw style from my days playing quake. But it has a nice little thumb rest and is a good size while still being lightweight and super sensitive. You can also change sensitivity on the fly. Razer software is really nice and lets you calibrate your mouse to your pad. I'd also recommend a razer gaming surface.
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.

MairoExE 1.0I had a razer basilisk v2 lightspeed for about 5-6 years and it just recently broke, now i ordered the v3 hyperspeed.
MetonymyQT 1.0I pretty much just did the same after my Logitech mouse and keyboard died, shortly one after another. MX Keys and MX Master 3S -> Razer Basilisk V2 and Nuphy Air75 V2
