#Unboxing #Razer #Review
Hands down the most complete and extensive review of this gorgeous mouse. I went from a logitech g502 hero to this. If I could say something "bad" in difference between this one and the g502 model (physically talking) is that the sensitivity clutch left button is a little bit more near the finger on the Razer, what makes a little bit uncomfortable, at least at the beggining. It might be a sort of getting used to it. In the other hand, what you mention about the polling rate with the dongle, it should have been increased as well while connected wired. It makes no sense that they gives that feature with an wireless dongle but not while being wired. Anyway, this is an amazing mouse. Im enjoying it every second. Gz for the review!
Lets go! I have been waiting for your review on the basilisk v3 pro
It's finally here!
I know you waiting a review bc you can't afford it right?
Getting this delivered tomorrow. Sadly I had to order the dock from another website so it’s a bit delayed, but i’m getting that in a few days as well! Lovely!
Best honest detailed review ever !
I was at the razer store in Austin, Texas and was so close to getting it. Unfortunately I got a new basilisk ultimate like a couple months ago from an RMA. Still thinking about it though.
Was thinking of upgrading my OG Basilisk to Ultimate but might save a bit more and grab the V3 pro instead. Thank you for this review. 💯👏🏻
Seems absolutely perfect, except sadly I don't like the shape of the Basilisk personally. At least for the Hyperspeed X variant, the combination of the back-heavyness makes it awkward in a claw grip to me, and a palm grip is not ergonomic for my hand-size. The first might be different with the wired version, but the second is the grip style I prefer anyhow. I just hope then, that Razer will release more mice with this scroll wheel, for what I'm really after is a replacement to my MX Master 3, but with a gaming-grade sensor and considerably lower weight.
You should have mentioned that the wireless charging is a QI charger. If you mix up the charging types it could potentially break the mouse or charger. Also as for why the polling rate changes between the wired and wireless, it's actually a chip issue. There is currently no single chip solution for fast polling for both wireless and wired. Razer would literally have to add another chip and redo the whole board to give it that ability which would add probably another 30-50 dollar's to the price and add more weight to it.
love the mouse (have wireless and wired) but after a while the you notice the weight.. I wish they would make a superlight of this shape. Perfect in the hands, just a bit too heavy for FPS etc.
love how your channel has become man
Correct me if im wrong but basically v3 pro is ultimate but with bluetooth, digital scrolling, inf scroll, and a slightly better sensor, and underlit rgb.
I'm going to put together a Gen. 5 PC next year. I plan on picking this up along with a Black Widow V3 Pro Wireless. I'm not a fan of huge mousepads, so I'm hoping for a V3 Firefly to boot.
used the viper ultimate for awhile now the v2 pro only thing about the basilisk is the weight after getting used to a 74 and 58 gram mouse im assuming the basilisk will feel extremely heavy and clunky
I was expecting your review on this one, finally! although why they went black & white, not fully white on this one?
great review
Cant wait to see the trotten desk setup
Hi can you recommend the Razer Iskur this year??? I am planning to buy one.
Looks like to G 502 :D THX for your nice information video.
the position of rgb is what i dig on the basilisk v3 model, but i also kinda want the buttons of naga.....
man I just got the v3 pro and i love it but the sniper button is a bit annoying as it hits the tip of my thumb sometimes, maybe ill get used to it since everything else is just perfect. Was considering getting the ultimate instead but i rather have the latest tech..
9:06 this is cool but where do you leave your keyboard dongle after unplugging it?
How to charge the mouse without wireless, like I should just use my mobile charger and plug with it?
The old mouse came with the dock and the new one sells the dock separately tho. That's a huge downside imo
The old dock is bad and its also type c but its a price increase
The old dock was an upcharge still, $200 for the pack with the dock at launch
The old dock is a gimmick charging at half the speed and doesn’t work if it moves slightly was never worth the extra money
Hey man I'm getting one for Christmas!
Is the scroll wheel wobbly and when you scroll does it feel like something is moving or vibrating on where your palm rests? is that normal?
Basilisk is my everyday mouse I love it now they finally have a white one to match my setup
Hopefully they make a Naga pro with those upgraded features. I just got one recently but the wireless charging is nice but the USB-C alone is a very, very welcome upgrade that the Naga needs. They should make the dongles USB-C as well already.
The naga pro v2 is the updated new version. I just got it. It's awesome
I bought the razer deathaddder v3 pro and I'm thinking of sending it back and getting this one. Since it has the same sensors, clicks etc etc. I don't find the deathadder to be as comfortable as my g502 lightspeed / g502 x. And I absolutely detest how light it is. I wanted to try a light mouse but man they feel like cheap macdonalds toys. And since I play on glass on a super high dpi, the weight gives me some extra control and stopping power over a super light mouse.
My complaint is too bad the Mouse Dock Pro won't stop overcharging once the mouse fully charged, and the scroll wheel is quite wobbly.
OMG THANK U FOR REVIEVING THIS MOUSE THIS MOUSE I WNATED TO BUY THIS MOUSE AT CHRISTMAST
I tried to order it off of Amazon and they gave me the wrong mouse right packaging wrong mouse in the box so I shipped it back. Kind of sad 😢😭 hopefully I get the right one on the second go around
3:23 if we look at this comparison the most important aspects like weight and battery life are on the side of the old Basilisk Ultimate. The only good things that the V3 has are the infinite scroll wheel (not sure if its better to have than the customizable resistance wheel tho), USB-C and the 4k polling rate and arguably you wont even feel the difference between 4k and 1k.
What is the clock device you have below your monitor? 😊
Can this vharge with the Firefly Chroma Hyperflux mousepad?
Can it be charge by just connecting the wire?
I have the Basilisk Ultimate and i never understood why i should put the mouse USB into the charger itself if i can just leave it in my PC while i can charge it wirelessly. Do any of you know?
Where did you get your unboxing knife from?
Hi mate. Will you be doing a review of the Leviathan V2 Pro at any point? I already bought one and it is honestly the best sounding soundbar I think I've ever heard. I tried in the The Razer store in London about 3 weeks ago and had to buy it Love your content by the way
I’ve got the Leviathan V2 in my setup. I have some mixed feelings about it tbh, especially when I compared it to my SoundBlaster Katana V2… the Katana sounds miles better, but is also more expensive. Have you compared the Leviathan V2 Pro against any other sound bars?
@@TechBlock I have only compared it to the Harman Kardon speakers in my TV for direct, face on speakers comparison and my old Logitec 5.1 setup, that I gave to my sons for their PC. It absolutely blows both of them out of the water for clarity and bass. The V2 Pro can be a little overwhelming for bass, but there's obviously the EQ settings in Synapse to turn it right down. I do think for £400 it is well worth the price and I'd definitely recommend going to the Razer store and speaking to Liam to have a go with the V2 Pro. The demo they have is crazy, but sadly you can't get it for home use
Does this white version have the problem of dongle disconnections ? On the black version (V3 Pro), it is very common. At 180 € it's not conceivable.
So far, I've actually had no dongle disconnection problems, but I have mainly been using it through the Mouse Dock Pro!
Has it turned yellow yet? Reddit has threads about the white turning yellow
Which is better value V3 for £40 or this Pro £102
hello pls i wnt too knw... your headset ED setting for csgo
I’m personally going to purchase the ultimate cause it comes with the dock and I don’t have to buy a new dock separately😊
why does the g502 have a razer logo?
I have the mouse and I do have to say it’s a great mouse but it’s definitely not the greatest gaming mouse. If you’re a right handed palm grip user and don’t game seriously and like the aesthetic then go for it but if not then it’s probably not worth the money spent on it. If you are buying a mouse for gaming then the best right now are the Deathadder V3 Pro (for larger hands) or the Viper V2 Pro (for smaller hands) but if you game lightly and want some rgb for work then go for it
i just bought my viper v2 and its not this wireless... ugh
I find wireless charging pretty slow compare to plug in till fully charged.
My only issue with this beauty is the spicy spicy price. In EU it is around 210 Euro
Could it charhe de g pro super light ?
Ahhh maybe should have mentioned that the new one's clutch button didn't come off.. def just ripped mine off and 2 seconds later you mention the new one not having that option ..
so he did mention it
Between this mouse and Master MX 3S from Logitech which one is better?
this mouse of course
Mx master is actually worse in every aspect. This has 3 modes in different ways
I have the original I can say it’s best mouse in the world so this maybe can be too expensive for me but this is THE Perfect Mouse
I never knew Razer already copied Logitech's hyperscroll! (The only reason I've been stuck with Logi) Will rather have that RGB blaring serpant any day of the week!
I'm trying to justify the extra $100+ price tag compared to the wired version, is it truly worth it? Especially if I don't mind wired mice?
no, you pay for the wireless capabilities (bt+2.4ghz). if you do not want to use it wirelessly (eg, traveling with steamdeck, laptop or you hate cables) then there is no point in paying for this one
how does this compare to the G 502, especially at the price points?
Its a bit more comfy
Waiting for razer viper mini pro
Nice looking mouse ….. especially in white …… but the price has DEFINITELY NOT been improved ….. that’s ridiculous, like all new Razer mouses being overpriced! I have a few Razer mouses and the new ones (released this year) are completely overpriced and shows the company is getting out of touch with consumer spending. Especially in current times
These are the "Pro" variants, it really is no surprise razer is pricing them so high, they usually make a standard version that is wired that is priced more justifiably.
yo bro, are u gonna review the razer strider chroma?
Yes I will, just waiting on Razer to send one over 😎
@@TechBlock awesome cant wait to watch the vid, idk if i should get it for myself yet but the new lights on it are really tempting
can you charge the mouse on the razer wireless charger (charging pad chroma)?
Yes you can!
Idk why but it’s impossible to get the basilisk in white Fr
Seems like the most premium productivity mouse ever
They intentionally did that polling rate issue over the wired and wireless charger to target the enthusiast gamer to buy their additional product
And it's a smart move.
Amazing video
Thanks!
Bro review the strider chroma and more stuff ….❤
Waiting on the Strider Chroma still :D
The best mouse razer has ever made is the Naga Pro V2.
16:00 they just want us to buy the dock for more money, I'm fan of razer but they can make some datils better in my oppinion!
LOVE the white mouse
that black stripe bugs me off, looks untidy. plus the basilisk will always be remembered as the g502 copycat.
I'm left handed and i wish razer could make left handed version of this. I want them so badly
nice video!!!
why does it look like a G502
Not gonna lie. The best thing about Razer Basilisk V3 Pro is The charging dock. I can slam my phone in there perfectly + i get better angle to see my phone than normal wireless charging dock.
Haha it’s an unexpected feature 😆
Too bad there isn't white edition doc
I’m more of a death adder guy myself but the basilisk is still sexy
Finally in white
I got the black V3 Pro as a replacement (plus added money) after having the Basilisk Ultimate replaced 3 times under warranty. Not much of an upgrade especially given the wireless charger sold separately and I prefer the lighting areas of the Ultimate tbh. I just hope this one isn't doesn't have as much issues down the line.
You’d have to be crazy not to think it’s an upgrade the ultimate switches feel like dog shit. The side buttons suck ass. The skates are worse. The battery is like half of what the v3 pro is.
@@frostgodx maybe do your research instead of commenting. For instance the battery life on the ultimate is greater than the v3 pro as per the specification and my actual experience. Also to get the full v3 pro wirless experience it would cost you twice as much as buying an ultimate since the wireless charger is sold separately. I could go on but im not bothered
@@adamtech9835 I was just pointing out that you were wrong. I don’t need research I do this stuff for a living. Your wrong on all counts but the price. Stop posting hearsay I have both and know what the deal is your just stuck in the past.
🤣 you aint worth my time. Bye
@@frostgodx *You're 😎
Razer killed it man I ordered the same thing I been waiting for a long time for a white basilisk
At 112 grams this is so damn heavy. Its perfect for a work mouse but for gaming? Not really. If it weighed less, id buy it so fast.
Having the original Basilisk, getting replaced 3 times (1+ years in process) before they refuse to replace it again cause of the same issue which is freezing and disconnecting. You need to turn it of and on again, if it doesn't work then you need to reinsert the battery, if that doesn't work then you need to just do it again and again before it starts working again. If you don't believe me then try searching for the issue on reddit or even razer forum, nothing fix this, it keeps on coming back again and again. Razer is also not even fixing this, lol. Not buying more razer.
Nice review bruh.
You finally reviewed it! Honestly way too overpriced compared to original
Yeah... Wasn't the Basilisk Ultimate also super expensive too in the beginning? Now it's at a really good price tbh!
@@TechBlock yep so maybe that go same for the pro!
I just want a viper mini v2 pro
logitech>razer products you buying flash with razer you buy performance with logitech
Hell no. The basilisk is way batter than g502. The feel was horrible. It felt cheap and it had my fingerprints on it after like a minute. Also their new blackshark v2 pro is 200$ and logitech's arctis nova pro is literally 350, maybe 300 if you find a deal. Razer is proven to be a way better option (RandomFrankP) so I don't fully agree on what you said. Maybe it was like that in the past tho 🤔🤔
It’s really just about personal preference and perspective. Each brand has their own product that beats the other . I own the v3 pro basilisk and the g502x plus… and I prefer my Razer mouse more. For keyboards however…. I would definitely go for a Logitech keyboard. For headsets… I would say BlackShark v2 pro (2023) is very good. At least, I’m not biased or a “fanboy” to think a brand is better at everything. My whole setup isn’t just one brand.. it’s a mixture of many peripherals from different brands that I pick out individually because it made them stand out from others. But that’s just my opinion…
Basically 502X
Wouldve been a no brainer for me if it wasnt 112g (its 2022 what a joke of a gaming mice weight). Anyway love your vids as always, keep it up ❤️
Honestly... I wish more mice had weight to them. If it were up to me it'd be even heavier.
Guys, can I use this mouse on an Apple computer?
Razer orochi v2 works perfectly so maybe
Logitech g903 is supreme! Looks amazing Razor basilisk is meh i ve g604 its better imo
I couldn't imagine playing with anything above 60g
You can’t use 4000 Hz over wire because there is no such chipset developed in the entire world that can do both wireless and wired 4K polling rate. It’s impossible.
the polling rate is a marketing stuff they want you to buy the loadingstation money money money :)
I bought 2 Razor products ( this mouse and the Blackshark headset) on Black Friday and have huge buyers remorse. The Razor software is a complete deal breaker for me. If you like this mouse just get the Logitech one. Basically the same thing and at least the Logitech software is somewhat functional.
True, this guy been slobbin razor since the dawn of time.
Razer software is annoying yes. And no the Logitech is not the same thing the Razer is far superior.
@@intelligence6900 yeah i have V3 wired and recently just bought 502x plus. GHub is a very good and simple software than Synapse since my Sinapse sometimes won't start. But, my V3's scroll wheel is superior from 502X. 502's scroll is just feel empty.
Use the software to setup several profiles on the mouse, save them to the mouse and then uninstall the software. Problem solved. Razer finally allowed us to uninstall the software a few years ago thankfully.
Am I the only one who never have a problem issues with Razer Synapse?? I have installed Razer Synapse (2&3) on my PC but never have an issues since the first day I use Razer product
ripped sensitivity clutch off icl was getting in the way of how i gripped my mouse
They actually managed to make a mouse that is heavier than the Basilisk Ultimate. With worse battery life to boost. Go figure.
Those docks are always out of stock
dude. where is Basilisk Ultimate ?!!!
Razer G502 wireless
way too heavy. I just finished with a g502 and moved on to the viper v2 pro. This thing isn't even close to a hardcore gaming mouse.
I Personally never haed a Problem with my Razer Basilisk Ultimate Charge Dock, worked Perfectly for 3 Years. But I had to Upgrade to a Razer Basilisk Pro V3 recently... cause my Mousewwheel 0on my RBU started to spaz out. Even after many Repair attemps, wasn't able to fix my Basilisk Ultimates mousewheel wich, is constantly scrolling down, no brake. Anyway, the Basilisk V3 is jsut amazing, and was well worth the 250 bucks here in germany. (With Charging Dock)
so done with razer..
Its the best razer product ever made because its literally a Logitech G502 Wireless 🙃
I have it,not for fps gaming.
