Basilisk V2

My 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.

That 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

You 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.

Meanwhile I been on the Basilisk V2 and just upgraded to the Basilisk V3 X Pro HyperSpeed, and waiting on delivery, I love heavier mouses, V2 was at 90 and the V3 X HS is at 102 I believe, can't wait man, I also am really good at sniping and having control of a heavier mouse feels much better.. to each their own though I used to love the Viper V2 when that was new

I have a Basalisk V2 for work, and a Basalisk V2 at home. Beside the Logitech G502, it's my favourite.

That'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.

I LOVE the basilisk line. Been using the V2 for a while and have my V3 on standby for when the V2 starts acting up (which I might switch out soon, I'm just too lazy to redo the RGB control lol). I love their larger profile and the shape feels amazing in the hand. The thumb buttons are in a perfect spot for where the thumb sits, and it never feels like it will slip out of your hand. Also, to be totally honest, the price point at which these are sold is really hard to beat, imo.
