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.

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.

Wired 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.

Same here. I only have a steel series keyboard now, and it’s fine, but not like you can fuck up a membrane keyboard. I do feel like my razer basilisk is of pretty good quality though. I used to have to replace steel series mice every or every other year because glue would just come apart, chords would rip, clicking would start acting up. But the basilisk v2 wireless still feels like new. I’ve had it for about a year. The app is dogshit, and I had a few hiccups with it the first week or so, but after I resolved it, it’s been smooth sailing.

don't buy razer, had the basilisk v2 and it doesn't last a year. Before that i have a 3500g deathadder wich serve me well for 10 years, never razer again. since that i have been using a g305, so good so far.
