Razer Basilisk Mouse Review

Having previously given Razer's DeathAdder Elite KitGuru's 'Must Have' award, you can bet I was exci Razer's new Basilisk features an all-new design and removable DPI clutch. Worth £59.99?

Thumb rest is a good addition.

Ergonomics are let down by the flat right-hand side.

The Basilisk is certainly a good mouse with a couple of new features which help it stand out. However, I do think the ergonomics need tweaking, while the software situation doesn’t help matters either.

Unconventional shape might dissuade some ; Scroll wheel resistance is adjustable, but hard to get set properly ; Beta version of Razer Synapse is still not great

The Basilisk’s biggest issue is that, regardless of how Razer’s positioning, it’s a direct competitor for the DeathAdder a.k.a. one of the most popular mice in the world. And while the clutch is definitely a smart take on the Sniper button, it’s not...

Razer Basilisk Review

The Razer Basilisk brings a sensitivity clutch to the Razer lineup of gaming mice to give you an extra edge in FPS games.

Sensitivity clutch ; Customisable scroll wheel resistance ; Impressive software support

Little expensive ; High variance in optical sensor frame rate

The only appealing and functional feature for FPS gamers on the Razer Basilisk would be the sensitivity clutch or the sniper button. It’s a removable clutch available in two different sizes, so that one can lower their sensitivity when needed. An...

Razer Basilisk Review: The FPS Mouse Reinvented

The Basilisk is the first mouse Razer has made in a while that really feels different. The mouse is extremely comfortable to hold, and while there's no denying that the clutch is kind of an eyesore, it does exactly what it's supposed to, and it works...

Comfortable design ; Innovative clutch ; Useful HyperShift feature ; Handy thumb rest

Software still in beta ; Not as attractive as other Razer mice

The Razer Basilisk boasts a comfortable feel, intuitive software and reasonable price, in addition to an innovative clutch that’s a bit of an eyesore.
