Razer’s Basilisk V2 conquered us in 2020 and here comes V3! A version that evolves little, but which brings some small welcome improvements to forge a mouse gaming even higher.
Why change a winning team? With this V3, Razer does not revolutionize its Basilisk, but improves the formula a little more with a more advanced and successful RGB customization. Above all, the new free-scrolling and “intelligent” wheel is very practical on a daily basis and the mouse is even more versatile. It can thus tackle not only the gaming pure, but also to office automation. Faultless for users who want a mouse with a good grip, a worked design and great precision. For more lightness, however, it will be necessary to turn to another model.
Points forts
- Excellent optical sensor.
- Comfortable grip.
- Neat finishes.
- New handy knob.
- Extensive RGB customization.
- Very flexible cable that is forgotten.
Weak points
- Sniper button a bit short.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
An alternative
Truly very responsive, the Razer Viper 8KHz achieves its objectives, but struggles to assert its superiority in practice. The gain related to the passage to a frequency of 8000 Hz is indeed expressed by definition under the millisecond, which will remain imperceptible for many players compared to a classic Viper operating at 1000 Hz. No revolution therefore, but a mouse on which competitive gamers can rely on.
