Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed Wireless Gaming Mouse: Bluetooth & Wireless Compatible, 16K DPI Optical Sensor, 6 Programmable Buttons, 450 Hr Battery, Classic Black

Firstly, one important thing to address is that this is a review for the Razer Basilisk X mouse, not the Razer Basilisk Ultimate, which is the majorly upgraded version of the mouse. Most reviews, for some reason, are of the Basilisk Ultimate, but with the one picture and the one you order on this page, you will be getting the battery powered Razer Basilisk X. TL;DR: I used this mouse for a month for office use. Great price for what you get. Feels nice in hand using common grips (claw, palm, fingertip), responsive clicking, nice scrolling, glides well across mouse mats, fair for gaming, really good battery life. I have only ever used wired mice. I wanted a wireless mouse for office use because my desk got smaller. I also share a desk now, and wires go everywhere from our headsets, keyboard, desk decorations, etc. To say the least, I wanted something cheap, but something I could still rely on with decent quality for the price. After doing some extensive research, I limited myself down to Logitech or Razer. When I finally laid eyes on the Basilisk X, I liked the look and the features. The more I thought about it, the more I fell in love with it. I was skeptical, as I've never used a wireless mouse. However, below are my thoughts after a month's use regarding the mouse and why I think, for the price, this mouse deserves five stars. To start, the price falls at $59.99 at the time of writing this review. Even in paying full price, I felt that I was receiving a great quality mouse. Below are some more specifications of this. Firstly, when getting the mouse, you get some detailed instructions regarding how to set it up. This is a nice touch, as trying to offhandedly figure out where the battery compartment and the USB stick is can be difficult. The cover lifts up nicely, but is a little hard to put back on. Ultimately, though, it has a nice compartment for the USB stick and for the battery. This mouse takes one AA battery inserted into the mouse. The weight of the mouse is very light and it's easily mobile. The build of the mouse feels decent for the price, and seems durable. The look overall of a matte black with some glossy parts and highlights is personal preference, but I do like its simplistic look with no lights on it. Overall, the feel of this mouse is nice in the hand. I used it in a few different grips to sample how it would feel. I used claw, palm, and fingertip, the most common grips I could think of. When using each grip, each time, I did feel relatively comfortable. The mouse fits rather well in my medium-large hands. I personally use a hybrid palm and claw grip, in the sense that my palm encompasses a large amount of the mouse, but my fingers are raised slightly. It is a little less comfortable for this type of grip, but you can still feel comfort using the mouse. It seems from my usage the mouse is mostly intended for palm grip, but that shouldn't discount other grips at least trying the mouse. It's much better than the mice the office provides me, trust me on that. As for the other parts of the mouse, such as the buttons and scroll wheels, I like the clicky responsiveness of the mouse buttons. Also, my fingers don't hang over the edge, even when using palm grip, which I personally love. I rather like the scroll wheel because It doesn't take too much pressure to move it up or down, but locks into place pretty solidly with ease. It is relatively easy to scroll at fast paces, but not seemingly as easy as a Logitech mouse, which my friend allowed me to use for a moment (more on that later). There are three other buttons to be used, one below the scroll wheel, and two next to the thumb. One complaint I had about some other mice I used, including Steelseries and (in some mice) Corsair, involved me accidentally pressing this sensitivity button below the scroll wheel. Well, I can safely say I've never had an accidental press of the sensitivity button. Since I am clumsy, though, I do accidentally press the two buttons on the side of the mouse every so often. However, whenever I have a mouse that has buttons in those places, I always click them on accident, no matter the mouse, so I cannot fault it for that. The buttons on the side stick out a little more than I usually see on other mice, but they don't get in the way, especially the sensitivity button. It sits flush with the two buttons used to click. Overall, you get pretty easy access to the thumb buttons when using the provided thumb rest as well. I can say it has a more simplistic design, which some will favor over multiple buttons. The cover in the back for the battery and USB holder have never come off accidentally for me, and I haven't had issues otherwise with the build. I'd say if you have medium hands, this would probably be the mouse for you, but with someone like me who has hands that are somewhat large, it works well still. Moving along swiftly, I'll now cover how the mouse performs when moving it around, and then dive into gaming with the mouse. Overall, on a decent quality mouse mat, the mouse glides really smoothly across the surface and calibrates easy. All you have to do to calibrate it to the surface you're on, software or not, is hold down the button just below the scroll wheel for a few seconds, and then it is calibrated and optimized for the surface it's on. It's never caught itself on anything and feels pretty smooth, albeit a little bit speedy. Otherwise, it's very elegant in its dance across a surface. Finally, the point that I've been looking forward to most, which is gaming. This is a gaming mouse so, after all, how does it perform for gaming? Well, after spending a few days gaming with this mouse instead of my regular mouse, a Corsair Nightsword, I can say it isn't too bad. Granted, I will always recommend a wired mouse for certain types of games, but if you want something wireless where delay and response time are not as important, this could be a great mouse for you. I spent time playing Destiny 2, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, and even the rhythm game osu! The delay is a little more noticeable here, but it is still not that bad. It was easy to be precise, though, of course, it was an adjustment. After playing with it a few days, I was able to play at around my normal level, which isn't that good to begin with. Needless to say, it does its job with certain types of games, but for the FPS genre or reaction time sensitive games, you might notice the delay. Granted, you could probably get used to it, but you might get better results from a higher tier mouse or from a wired one. That's not to say that the mouse didn't perform, because it very well did. I'm sure that if I played Dota 2, an RTS, or an MMO, that this mouse would still be viable, but from what I understand, you may want some more keybinds readily accessible if you're going to play an RTS or MMO. To wrap it up, though, it does its job. Lastly, battery life. I went into this with a grain of salt. I saw a review saying it ate batteries in the matter of a week and a half repeatedly, so for Razer to claim up to 285 hours of hyperspeed wireless, I was a bit skeptical. However, I had one Energizer battery that came with the mouse (thanks Razer!) and it lasted a full month. Keep in mind, this was for office use, and I have a desk partner. As soon as she leaves, I am right there to take over her station (she loves the mouse too by the way). She works eight hour shifts five days a week, while I work six hour days, four days a week. I figured calculating out this mouse's approximate battery usage using just these numbers would be inaccurate or possibly a bit skewed, so I'll just leave it at the pure statistics of how often we use it to prove the battery life. Also, only one AA battery. To say the least, you may pay for some batteries, but I really can't complain with the battery life I get from it. So, if you've stuck around this long, I want to thank you for sticking around, and I hope that if you're considering buying this mouse, I have laid out what my experience with this mouse was for a month regarding office usage. Take the gaming section with a small grain of salt as I didn't use it for more than a couple days. And again, this article is mostly opinion, but I tried to keep it open to show some cons, but mostly pros for why I like it. Thanks again!

I'm not an Apple fan-boy, but I do love my MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro...just love it. With that in mind, I wanted to flex the mini-LED screen of my beloved with games like CoD, so of course I needed a decent gaming mouse that would be up to the FPS tasks the game would throw at me. Trouble was I didn't want a USB-A dongle sticking way out of my otherwise puma sleek beauty of a laptop (even more so because in order to use the dongle, I would have to use a USB-A to USB-C adaptor, which would just look ridiculous - COME ON Razer, Logitech, and a host of other manufacturers, why haven't you yet embraced USB-C 2.4 GHz dongles), which really limits me to two just gaming mouse offerings from the two big boys: Razer and Logitech, that have Bluetooth connectivity onboard. I grabbed this mouse on super sale, and so far I'm pretty happy. It's not a flagship Razer mouse; it lacks a rechargeable battery, wireless recharging, and even lacks the snappy looking LED lights found on so many gaming mice, which I personally really like...within reason. But this mouse is a bonafide gaming mouse with a DPI and polling rate to match, and equally importantly, this mouse has excellent ergonomics for right-handed people (left click button is higher and at a different angle than the right click, making it incredibly comfortable to use). Sorry left-handed people...though you are in the minority by quite a bit here. Anyway, if you're looking for an inexpensive, no frills, but effective, dual-connectivity mouse with great ergonomics, I recommend giving this one a go.

I needed to buy a wireless mouse for my secondary computer (an Alienware laptop) that would be good for traveling, as well as gaming. On my gaming desktop, I use the SteelSeries Rival500, which, in my opinion, is the best gaming mouse out there. The button configuration is second to none. Perfect amount of buttons for an MMO, but also placed in the best positioning on the market. If a wireless model of the Rival500 existed, I'd be so there, but unfortunately, when I began my search, I could find nothing comparable. Because of this, I set out to find a wireless mouse with 6 or more programmable buttons, without breaking the bank. I'm not a fan of buttons that look like a keypad on the side of the mouse, so after whittling down my options, I decided to give the Razer Basilisk a try. It's a great mouse. I thought my life would be limited with only two buttons on the thumb-side of the mouse, but with Razer's ability to configure profiles depending on what you're doing, I find that I'm not really at a big loss. For my MMO playing (Elder Scrolls Online) I selected the two keyboard buttons I most used and mapped them to my mouse, and it really gives me what I need. I'm not doing intense gaming when traveling with my laptop, so the Razer mouse delivered. Then, the profile switches automatically when I'm outside of the game (very cool) and I can map the buttons to do Windows commands such as copy, paste, cut, etc. Things that I'd normally click more than two keys for, I can do with one press of a button. The mouse feels great, and so far, I have no issues with connectivity or battery life and I've been using it for more than a month. If you're in the market for a gaming mouse that doesn't break the bank, Razer delivers.

Picked this up to get rid of my annoying corded mouse for my work desk (tower is in a bad spot and gives me little cord length for the mouse). Read good reviews on this and like the Razer brand. Got it in, brought it into work and hooked it up. Works great on wireless, but not able to connect it on bluetooth. May be a computer hookup problem, but frustrating to only have half the claimed battery life because I'm forced to use it in wireless. Outside of that the mouse is great. I'm a big guy (6'3") and it fits comfortably in my hand. Weight is good and it runs smooth on my mousepad. I use it all day at work and it doesn't bother my hand. I have a Logitech G500s at the house and I honestly think I may like the Razer better. Time will tell if I end up getting a Razer for home. My only concern is the mouse longevity. I had an older Razer that died on my after a year (apparently they had a problem with the left click button's having a short life from clicking). Mine died and Razer fought me with the warranty (big computer company that sells PC stuff said one thing that was a direct copy of manufacture's website, but Razer claimed another). Hoping this doesn't happen, but for the price, it's solid so far.

If you’re like me and use a mouse for not just gaming, but for work and maybe even school, I completely recommend this mouse. That being said, this mouse delivers on all fronts! For gaming I use the 2.4 connection and boy, does it deliver! I have had no issues with input lag and having several options for DPI make mouse options in switching between games a breeze. For general use and school, I stick with the Bluetooth connection. Again, no input lag with this option but I don’t usually have a bunch of Bluetooth connections jamming up the airspace. The bluetooth definitely prolongs the life of the battery, which is just one double A. After using the mouse for roughly 15 hours between school and gameplay, the mouse displayed 98% battery remaining - they aren’t kidding about the battery life, and I don’t turn the mouse off. 😳 the only quarrel is that it takes it about 5 second and a couple of clicks to get it to connect after you’ve left it sitting for a long period of time (first world problems). Aesthetically and mechanically, this mouse is pleasing. The shape contours the hand nicely so it feels relaxed and not strained for long stints of use and it doesn’t have a gaudy RGB design like most “gaming” mouses around this price point. You will see the blue light on the DPI button when connecting to Bluetooth, and maybe the green light when connected to the 2.4 usb, but that’s about it - this is a slick looking mouse. The price tag is definitely higher than your easy to grab $10 mouse, but you get what you pay for. I am glad I bought this mouse.

Needed a new mouse for my brand new laptop since my older wireless mouse was having issues, buying this mouse was totally worth it on Prime day. Especially with the one-day shipping, ordered it last night and it just came in. Totally brand new with the wrapper seal. Really hoped that razer mouses won't disappoint and it didn't size perfect, set up perfect, and especially hoe razer would automatically download their engine to start the whole setup. This wireless mouse might actually make me convert from my SteelSeries mouse to Razer. Update: Mouse has issues with Bluetooth connection and it doesn't really last long, a month later it just died on me out of nowhere. So best to keep it off when not in use, sad I thought that there would at least be sleep mode for the mouse to save energy since it is battery powered. So best to keep it off when not in use and carry around a few batteries whenever you're out or not at home. I should've done a bit more research, disappointing as I should've invested in something more reliable since my Logitech mouse was able to last longer than this razer mouse.

There's a deal this mouse is a great mouse but but the only downside is it's cost. Is perfectly balanced for gaming especially for FPS gaming. The mouse's response time it's phenomenal it has overall improved my FPS gaming for games like that of counterstrike modern warfare and and just about any other titles even that ofOverwatch warframe destiny 2 and and so much more It's wireless capabilities are based on Bluetooth and and 2.4 GHz wireless adapter the best part is you can switch at any time With a small switch in the bottom of the mouse It feels perfect in the hands it has a perfect grip ratio for a person with small hands and even for my friends who have bigger what bigger hands will you use my 2nd lap gaming laptop to play The mouse is fully programmable features find different buttons which is more than enough for any modern day gamer that's nothat's not Playing A 3rd person RPG or an MMORPG or a moba. The reason I say that is because it only has so many different buttons and although they can be programmed and they can be set programmed to do multiple different functions it's just not enough for a strategic gamer This device can also be used for mobile gaming as of course it is capable of being connected to a mobile device via Bluetooth The click ratio is very smooth very fast and very Satisfying This mouse does require a single Double-A battery

I've owned this mouse for a little over a year, so this is a long term review. On the positive side, this mouse is very responsive and ergonomic. The speed is great and it's a solid experience. When it's working, it's a dream. But then there's the software. You have to install it or else the mouse will bug you all the time to install it. And when you do install it, it's intrusive and settings seem not to stick. It will randomly change speeds, or you'll accidentally bump the speed change button and change speeds. The speed button is a stupid gimmick that gets in the way more than it comes in handy, I'd rather it wasn't there and change the cursor speed in settings instead of on the fly. The software also asks you to create an account and sign in. When connected online, it somehow causes all kind of problems like disconnects and going to sleep randomly. The battery needs to be removed and re-inserted to get it to wake up from whatever random coma it went into. All these problems can be avoided if you don't create an account and sign in, or if you don't install software. Finally, the battery life is hilariously terrible, although It's only funny because I use rechargeable NiMH batteries. This mouse chews thru them like nothing i've seen. If I'm using it as my main mouse, it will eat a full (rechargeable) battery in as little as one day. My generic $20 logitech mouse I use for work will last a good 6 months on the exact same battery. You can use alkaline batteries, but at most you'll get 5 days out of each one and you'll pay the cost of the mouse again in batteries in very short order. I wouldn't buy this again. 2.5 out of 5

Was soll man dazu noch sagen? Eine wirklich tolle Maus! Sie kann sowohl über Bluetooth als auch mit einem Empfänger verwendet werden und ermöglicht die nahtlose Arbeit mit zwei Systemen, ohne dass man umstecken muss. Diese Maus lässt keine Wünsche offen,

First review I wrote in November 2022 couple of months after purchase Energy drains off the battery in couple of hours. Forget months. Even Duracell batteries wouldn't last after using it for couple of months. Not sure if this is specific to this piece or in general. Editing the review based on Dec 2023 The mouse stopped working and there no way to revive it. After spending so much of money and energy, the product turned out to be extremely dissatisfactory. Not sure if Amazon is sending substandard products or Razer is bad. I see 19000 odd reviews with majority advising its good, but the experience is pathetic. Next mouse I'll probably buy at store who are at least ready to answer and certify the authenticity. Happy shopping!

Mouse excelente, calidad y durabilidad garantizado

O produto chegou dentro do prazo e muito bem embalado. Uso há mais de um ano e até o momento não apresentou nenhuma avaria. Nos primeiros 6 meses era utilizado para jogos, ou seja, fazia uso intenso dos botões, porém é possível notar que o material é resistente e de ótima qualidade. Dispõe de wifi e bluetooth, mas acho melhor usar no wifi. Tem alta capacidade de economia de energia, tanto é que até hoje uso a pilha que veio com ele. Se vc tá precisando de um mouse sem fio de boa qualidade e preço bom, esta é a melhor indicação. Recomendo a compra com empenho!!!

المنتج اصلي و كويس و يشبك على البرنامج اصلي ١٠٠ من ١٠٠ وصل قبل الميعاد المتوقع و في ناس يقولو انه بعد فتره من الاستخدام يعلق على usb3.0 الحل انك تشبك الماوس بلوتوث او تحطه usb 0.2 و استهلاك البطارية على بلوتوث يطول اما ال usb مدة التشغيل اقل تكون بس انصح بعد ما تخلص البطارية الي تيجي مع الماوس تستخدم دورسيل تعطيك وقت اكثر من البطارية الي تيجي مع الماوس
