Razer - Basilisk V3

I have my Razer mouse and keyboard from 12 years ago. I really want to replace my keyboard with a newer one, but it just feels so good. I just have had enough of the green RGB haha. Bought the Razer low profile mechanical as it was on sale and returned it. Battery life was mediocre and the RGB setting did not work wirelessly. Bought a Razer Basilisk V3 (non pro) as it was also cheap and it's alright so far. Wanted to have wireless peripherals, so my 2013 deathadder and BlackWidow would retire, but I just cannot find anything worth replacing them with. Would probably get a Keychron QMax series, but they are expensive in Canada. No software is a big win. Razer, Asus ROG, SteelSeries, etc will all have a good product here and there, but they often need their bloated spyware installed.

Yeah! Coming from a Logitech G9 (rest in peace my old friend) I tried a Basilik v3 as well. The tech is cool but the shape?! Instant carpal tunnel issues, WTF! After trying some other mice I was fed up with it. Im not gonna wait till someone builds shit for me. Decided to model and 3D print some parts+hot glue to give it back some much needed volume and now it's perfect for me. I call it the Dazilisk now. If you have the means, definitely try to come up with your own ergonomics, it's quality-of-life +100 https://preview.redd.it/yax6svechtjf1.png?width=771&format=png&auto=webp&s=8552919154196a98564b0272c7da5f78d9886dbd

Basilisk V3 is very heavy so keep that in mind.

Basilisk is 20G more but weight distribution is a thing. It is not properly optimised in the basilisk. I have used both and going from a G102 to a Basilisk V3 was too tough for me as it felt like a brick in my hand. Why don't you look at other Razer mice? Won't Logitech G502X wired work for you?

I ended up landing on the Razer Basalisk V3, I had to G502s before it but I sit at my recliner with a lapdesk so my mouse kind of hangs by its cord when I take my hand off it. The cables on the newer G502s are just rubber and I ended up wearing a hole through them after a bit less than a year, the Basalisk feels just as good as the G502 did to me and has a braided cable so I expect significantly better longevity. It's obviously a niche issue though.

I think the scroll wheel is great on both of my Basilisk V3s. Pro and non Pro. What sets it apart from alternatives is the smart reel feature. It’s great.

I’m actually using the wired version of the basilisk v3 as my backup right now. The scroll wheel is kind of broken (thanks to my toddler), it basically clicks the mmb anytime I tap the mouse back down on the desk. While it’s a good mouse, only complaint i have is the lack of a way to change dpi, and of course the price for the wireless one. $158 on amazon is pretty steep. The glorious on is a lot more feasible at $70, and I might go with that depending on others suggestions.

If she has medium to large hands then Razer basilisk v3 wired is one of the best mouse

Similar in shape is Razer Basilisk, Logitech G502(X), maybe Turtle Beach Kone. You can get a Basilisk V3 wire for under $50, and that's near the top of their range. Can't say Razer software is flawless, but works well enough for me, and the mouse is high quality, except their scroll wheels always feel squiffy in tactile mode - something to do with the freescroll/tactilescroll mechanism I think. Edit: These other mice people are suggestion just don't have the same shape, feels like they are trying to direct you to their favourite mouse, not answer your question.

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.

Razer Basilisk is the only one I can think of (certain variants only e.g. V3). The smart-reel feature and mouse wheel in general isn't as nice as the MX Master though. Whether it fits you I'm not sure.

Can confirm that smart reel works with Synapse closed. I don't fancy uninstalling it. I don't really experience problems with the software, although with a Razer Blade it's there anyway.

Not long, just a couple of weeks. My experience with the scroll wheel hasn't been great, I bought 3 and returned 2 for mouse wheel issues. With the current one the issue is that when it's in tactile mode it's pretty lumpy - basically with a normal scroll wheel if you move it it moves a click. With this scroll wheel you can roll it back a little way without it clicking, and then if you let go it falls back into place. So when doing small scrolls in tactile mode if you end up half way between a low point it then falls back with a bit of a clunk and slight reverb through the mouse. Definitely would like it to be more clinical. At the end of the day it has the best set of features, so I put up with that, the free scroll is good, the smart reel feature is good even if not implemented as well as MX Master, the overall feel and quality is good, and the shape suits my hands (smaller hands).

No it's not stiff. It has excessive play and springyness (as it drops back into position) vs a regular scroll wheel. It functions OK. I've had no problems from skipping/lagging/extra scrolls. Smart-reel is a binary on off - when you scroll fast it goes into infinite mode - after about a half second of none movement it snaps back to tactile. It's not the nice smooth transition of the MX.

It's indeed a very nice upgrade from the adder. And yes, it looks dope af. Enough buttons to fully map out complex controls even for games like Fortnite. Some users have reported slight sweat issues on the side wing profile Your budget might also accommodate the Logitech G502 Light speed. All excellent pro options - your choice OP!

Orochi felt a bit too small for my hands , leaning towards the Basilisk v3 now

Basilisk it is then,300 more is a fair deal ig

Demn thanks vro will get it soon

Ah my friends have ordered the basilisk v3 , the orochi was too small for my hands , and the death adder’s battery was a turn off . I already have a casual wireless mouse i use for daily use , so the basilisk should be great for fps gaming .
