It is very comfortable and good overall. I have it for two years and I can say the build quality is excellent. A very sturdy reliable mouse
awesome to hear. I scooped one of these on Amazon for $35 new, to replace a faulty G502 SE
Does it have any issues after 2 year use?
@@nunothedude nop, still lookin damn good after heavy daily use, this mouse is really nice feeling and well built for the price
@@rexhilverstone7154 cool, if u allow me how much did u pay? For me i saw it for 60euro in Portugal
@@nunothedude I paid something like that too, around 45-60 euros
Bought this online for my fiance, hope he likes it. Nice review, helps a lot.
Does he like it?
@@OMGPLUS yeah he does, its a replacement for his broken mouse Mionix Naos 7000.
We all love a good Girlfriend. :)
@@Vahkii aww thank you :D
He I'd blessed
Just got this mouse today and so far liking it a lot thanks for the review
is it actually good?
@@christiancepeda5457 as an all around mouse it’s definitely really good and worth its price, it works for dozens of different games and feels really good all around
I've had this mouse for 3 years since it came out and in that time I switched to the Glorious O, G pro wireless. In the end I came back to this mouse and I will give my two cents as to why. The weight isn't heavy whatsoever compared to the other two mice when it comes to the topic of how light can you get your mouse. the extra glide feet especially the one on the left side adds a very smoother glide compared to the others especially the g pro wireless with the removable magnet weight that magnet isn't secured in there so at times you feel it flimsily moving around while gliding. The click sound is a muffled like sound and not obnoxiously clicky the thumb rest area feels very nice compared to holding your thumb to the side with exertion. Idc for rgb so the V3 looked like no real improvement since I don't need intricate scroll wheel since the V2 is already setup with features on the wheel. Not much of a good reviewer but just thought maybe my review would help someone purchase as well.
Im glad it doesn't have too much rgb, for kb and mouse i use it only the see it in the dark, but i don't need it on the mouse. And im not a rgb guy too much, only a few lights and thats enough. Btw thanks for the review i think im gonna buy this mouse.
first thing i did with my pc was turn off those annoying rgb lights lol
literally me
yeah same here, tbh i only set my keyboard and mouse to one or two colours that i find nice (usually green keyboard and purple mousepad and mouse if it has rgb) just cuz i need it for when im in the dark. otherwise i really dont like rainbow. i used to when i was like in middle school but now i find it a bit ugly and kind of distracting in game
complete opposite for me lol. not enough rgb💀
I actually bought a Cherry MX Board because I wanted Cherry switches but every gaming keyboard is covered in lights, this just looks like an office keyboard but performs like a gaming keyboard
This or Razer Viper? (I play basically only fps using mouse and keyboard, but I'm studying Graphic Design so the buttons could be useful)
I bought it on amazon yesterday. Getting it on thursday. It was on sale, so it was in my budget of 35 dollars. Anyways, Is this a decent mouse to be using for around 8 hours a day?
is this mouse a good upgrade from the razer basilisk? i have had it for a while now and its starting to double click and the scroll wheel is a bit broken and the cable is also ripped, but i like the thumb rest and how the mouse is in my hand, so is it worth upgrading to this?
Yes 👍
@@stxil I have razer baslisk and v2 loooks sick and my cousin been telling me getting Logitech g703 but I think g703 is outdated and switches it has is mechanical while razer baslisk v2 has optical sensor but g703 is wireless so I’m now lost what moues do I choose?
@@kinggamer-vb5yj get the v2 IMO a wired mouse doesn’t put you at a disadvantage
bought it half price off amazon today. Hope it will be good
Managed to get it on sale which was nice. Good mouse, but definitely wanted to only get it when it was more affordable.
DPI is just marketing ... 20k DPI is just ridiculous und unnecessary as hell. That means 20 THOUSAND dots per inch which is called speed (miles per hours for example). I think most people just play within 1200 and 2000 DPI
Most professional fps players use around 400 to 2000 dpi, too high dpi can cause shots missed pretty much very easily. For mouse, it should be comfortable, light and has silent click, thats all.
I play with the dpi 4k-12k and below 4k dpi in general is slow
dpi is technically the sensitivity of the mouse
Most used DPI for CS:GO Pros is around 800-1200 DPI
@TheReal_YΛSH nope I never mis clicked once, I'm perfection.
I’m chillin with a hiraliy 2000 I think it’s called. It was like 20 bucks and it’s the same thing as a deathadder and it is great for the price but still need an upgrade
Can a macro be mapped to the left click button for this mouse?
what does the little detachable rubber thing on the left side of the mouse do?
Extra button
I’ve been thinking what Moues should I get as ergonomic razer baslisk v2 or Logitech g703 razer basilisk v2 has better feet’s , optical switches, more switches, maybe a better sensor Logitech g703 is wireless that’s the only thing that’s good about it compare baslisk also g703 is kinda outdated 2019 and baslisk is 2020
@TheReal_YΛSH I’ve tried my Logitech g703 it’s wireless there no such thing called “delayed” now days gaming wireless are way faster then before maybe even faster then normal mouse I’ve been playing with it competitive games such as rainbow six siege I never had delay in my mouse
@TheReal_YΛSH you must not know much about mice.
Get the Razer V2. Mouse with cable is always better than a wireless mouse
I’d there a way to make it heavier like the g502 I prefer heavy mouse
Can smone help me ... Should i get this or the glorious model o wireless.. ur suggestions are welcome too
I prefer wired, so i would say get the basilisk, because they dont require daily charges and have slightly faster reaction time. I am also thinking about buying this one and i think i will.
Does the button that the thumb rests on have autoclick?
good for fps gaming? (currenly using g402n hope its a great upgrade)
no. too heavy
@@andrewfang2754 perfect weight. Not too heavy and not too leight
@I love you but i used my logitech 502 3 years for fps. In my case the basilisk v2 is perfect because im used to this shape + lower Weight
@@rpns.3403 502 is outdated. 102 grams at ligthest. Still using mechenical switches. Do you have any idea of what you are talking about?
@I love you but (cough) mongraal (cough)
Are all mice prone to the dreaded left click problem with the switch? Gone through 2 corsair M65 elite mice so i will try Razer.
I've had my Deathadder for a little over 6 years and use it daily. No problems with left mouse button, but the scroll wheel button stopped working very early on (I think, because I virtually never use it and only found out when I needed it for CAD software). I have heard of the left button issue occurring for other users though.
Razers are always a hit or miss. When they work well, they will last you for years. I've had 4 deathadders so far, 1 broke in 6 months, 1 in 1 year, 1 in 9 months, and my recent one lasted me at least 4ish years.
@@professionalpotato4764 Wow.. i guess it is worth spending the extra $10 or whatever to get extended warranty. I am beginning to understand it can happen to any mouse. I had a Corsair in the past that lasted about 5 years.
@@galaxytraveler5779 Yeah, I would spend that extra $10 on warranty if you can get it. I'm using a Corsair keyboard, but never tried their mice yet. Are they good?
I've sworn off Corsair gear for that simple reason.
it looks good and seems to work well so i might as well buy it lol
i got this mouse at christmas when i had been waiting for new mouse for two years and its already broken. the usb port thing is broken and i cant put it in my computer, also the most of my clicks dont get recognised. now i need to wait another two years for new mouse without computer
The 2 button's on the bottom of the scroll wheel. Are they for dpi?
they are programmable, but yes - they can also be used for adjusting the dpi
@z Mikaazuki. well, i have the basilisk v2 too and my dpi buttons are programmable
@z Mikaazuki. i'm assuming you'd have to go into the razer software to change it my guy
should i buy it for gaming
everyone is talking about the g502 or this mouse and i’m just sitting here with a glorious mouse
Im actually looking to replace my model O haha. The left button sticks
@@Artyt2024 my glorious model O button was.
@@Tpachal oh yeah lol I just saw would you rather get the DeathAdder v2 or the Basilisk v2. Or are there better options? I think those mice have the best sensors as well.
@@Artyt2024 i went with the basilisk because it was on sale and have no complaints about it yet. very good experience with it
saving up for this mouse because my logitech g502 is 3 years old now and super worn out thx for the reveiw
Sameee I just got mine
Lucky, my g502 died out in like 8 months, double click and not registering clicks.
My g502 won’t hold a right click anymore. Only had for about a year
@@SandoBamesXP Same here, won't buy another and going for this one
@@jr_666 yeah, my g502 has the same problem, so im going to get a razer basilisk v2
I know I'm not super tech savvy but that was like another language. Very little of what you said made sense.
I've got 16cm hands and I got this mouse and it's completely fine, super super comfortable, the best ergonomic I've seen. I also tried deathadder and deathadder mini and for me they're seriously uncomfortable.
My hand is 20cm, does it fit comfortable in my hand?
@@pdr4m559 yeah i think it will as it's a big mouse actually designed for big hands, you'll have no problems! and probably you won't find bigger mouses I've been using it for 2 months now and it is awesome, i love everything about it and I've had no problems with it.
@@user-vb3kn6ur3s actually im deciding between this and deathadder v2. Whats your op?
@@pdr4m559 as i said, both deathadder v2 and deathadder mini were much less comfortable than this one in my opinion. and i think my hand size doesn't matter as i tried both (and the mini is way smaller). and specially the normal deathadder v2 feels like a cheap mouse to me, its materials, its click, idk. this mouse feels muuuuch more premium to me, which is really important. but again, it's just my opinion, and if thousands of people prefer the deathadder rather than any other mouse, there must be a reason too. what i can recommend you is that you try them out. you could go to some computer store and see if they've got those mouse to try, or what i did; i ordered the three of them on amazon, i tried them out for some days to make up my mind and i returned the others. that helped me a lot and amazon had no problem with it (also, it is free). if I hadn't done that I'd probably have chosen the deathadder v2, which as you see wasn't the right option for me. hope that helped and good luck! ask me if you've got any news or questions :)
@@user-vb3kn6ur3s how about built quality basilisk v2 compare to deathadder v2 ?
G502 from Logitech: “tell him to bring me my money”
G502 Hero and this mouse has same price here ... Which one better?!
I've had problems with the switches on the g502... So I think the basilisk is better for the money especially cause it has much better switches
I have g502 and got this getting it tmre
Bluetooth? The deathadder has bluetooth, so that would be the only edge if this one lacks it
I am left handed but i do use a right hand mouse :)
I am both
Me too bro
honestly it looks like a small percent of left handed people use the mouse on the left side, I am left handed but my whole life I used the mouse on my right hand, it's doesn't seem right to me...
@@strokey5284 same here
Saying that the Basilisk X Hyperspeed is basically the same mouse just without the cable is grossly misleading. The Basilisk X Hyperspeed got a different sensor, different lift off distance, different wheel, no lights etc... and also seems to have some quality control issues.
You mean in the end of the vid ? He was talking about Basilisk Ultimate...
im a lefy but its honestly fine
And I’m buying one!
is it nice?
This mouse is currently $35 on Amazon as of 11/21/21, just letting y'all know.
Really link ?
Got it for 39.99
i wish i saw this video before buying the deathadder v2 T_T
I have used the original *Basilisk* ... But not sure whether I shall upgrade to *Deathadder* or the same. _What would you suggest?_
@@TheRohnjackson actually it's my first purchase from razer .. when i first bought the deathadder i was so upset about the curve in the end was hurting my ring finger and the Back of the mouse was flat i used to be a palm gripper so it was hard for me but i used to these things later .. but if u like the shape of the basilisk i recommend u upgrade to basilisk v2 bcs it will be hard to get used to the deathadder shape after using basilisk for so long
Hello my friend I'm here and watching..
Logitech g502 hero or razer basilisk v2
Or viper mini?
If you play fps games viper for sure
Ahh yes… the razor r502.
YES
i got it for 30 :)
Whats the rubber thing on the left side
side grip
If you mean the flap towards the front, that's a cover for a slot where a magnetic sniper button can be placed that you can grab to temporarily adjust the DPI (or you could map it to something else)
I think you mean the thumb rest, it’s to rest your thumb on basically
Does it have 2 or 3 thumb buttons? I’m looking for a 3 thumb buttons mouse, does anyone know any?
It has 3. The 3rd is in the form of a removable paddle.
Why he sound like Ranboo lmao
Im 10 so is my hand enough big?
Its difficult to tell but if you measure your hand and look for a graph of the sizes (which it should have) you will be able to tell. Hope i could help.
not really, go for a different mouse that is smaller, but if you really want it it will be ok
Get the razer viper mini
i got mine for 50 dollars lol
Got this for $15 lol
Sigh, another feature outline video.
my friend gave me this for free
G502 ripoff
G502 has shittier switches shitquip
This one is better than the G502
en vrai c'est dla merde , razer réussi juste les micro , casque , souris , clavier etc , c'est de la merde ... ( a titre de comparaison j'ai les même sensation sur ma razer en mode 3500 dpi que sur ma g pro en mode 400 dpi .... ) on est bien d'accord que ya un gros problème là .... en vrai à part les micros , razer est là juste pour l'esthétique
