Razer Basilisk Ultimate Hyperspeed Wireless: A G502 Killer
I use the original G502 before hero came out for years then moved to the M65 which I loved.
Now I have a NEW wireless set up using the G915 keyboard, I’ve been searching for the best WIRELESS gaming mouse for myself. I BOUGHT and RETURNED: G703, G902, G PRO, G502 LS, Dark Core, Razer mamba & viper. I was going to stick with the viper even thro it was too small for my larger right hand. Until I seen the Basilisk Ultimate release. Returned the Viper tried out the Basilisk and now my new wireless set up is completed. This is a true G502 killer, if you bought the G502LS well return it and buy this. The thumb paddle is better to press than the G502 and the Basilisk PTFE feet glides so smooth/feels better in my hand and RBS is amazing compeer to all wireless mouse and to top that off it weighs less with no double click issues and a RBG charging dock
I really like the IDEA of the thumb “Clutch/Paddle” button but I do wish the piece was longer.
I would of taking less battery power option if they could have got this down to 99g or less.
Customizable Scroll Wheel Resistance is a fantastic idea to compete with Logitech free wheel.
Every company should now be using PTFE feet glides. Good job Razer.
Razer Synapse 3 works well for me no issues with software. Macros/Keybinds
Wifi 2.4 Hyperspeed Wireless is amazing NO LAG what’s so ever
I mostly use the NVIDIA SHEILD TV and play OVERWATCH or when I work from home/laptop.
Since I use the Nvidia Shield to play Overwatch I need to map the mouse side buttons to a number/letter to make it work in game on the Shield. This works well and macros too. I have to save all settings to the ON BOARD MEMORY. I wish I had more than 5 profiles but I am happy that I have 5 and not just 1-3
I am very DISSAPOINTED that no RBG lighting settings SAVE to OnBoard memory. Even a few simple options to be saved would have been grateful. Oh-well…
Basilisk Pros
Hyperspeed Wireless – ZERO LAG and 100% amazing
The RGB charging DOCK is simply PERFECT, what a great feature.
PTFE glides mouse feet are the best. All mice should come with this.
Fits my right larger hand type very well.
Love the thumb rest
Clutch/Paddle (sniper) thumb button piece feels GREAT to press
Side buttons are larger than viper buttons.
Perfect length on the left/right mouse clicks
Clicking all buttons feel GREAT
Customizable Scroll Wheel Resistance (Logitech free wheel still better)
Left/Right wheel buttons are great to have. (I use them for some macros)
Works well on the Razer Sphex V2 & SteelSeries QcK mouse pads
Grips very well, feels good in hand
Sensor seem to be great
Small size dongle
Glides very well
Still can use wired if needed
Battery life is amazing
Works great on the NVIDIA SHIELD TV device
RBG lighting is absolutely beautiful !
On board memory 5 profiles
Basilisk Cons
! On board memory does NOT save RBG lighting settings =( WTF WHY?
The clutch button piece could be LONGER or longer option pieces (still better than G502)
Not UBS-C (Doesn’t really matter as there is a charging dock)
No Bluetooth
big scroll wheel
Some Finger prints show
Weight (Could be lighter - #1 thing to improve on)
PRICE
(But at $170 with dock it’s cheaper than getting a G502LS with charging mat)
Its OCT of 2020 and mouse is working great love it. I have dropped mouse on floor few times with no issues still working fantastic. The software could be designed better but it is what it is.
