  • CORRECTION: It seems there is 1 onboard memory profile according to Razer's store page for the mouse, and RTINGS. I still do not see the onboard memory options in Synapse but it is 200 percent possible I am just dumb. Thanks to Ian Huang for letting me know in the comments!

    • the onboard profile is automatic , it keep the last profile you set up in Synapse on bord

    • For the button settings a key binds there is onboard memory so you can program your side buttons an your computer with synapse and use those same settings on other computers. Unfortunately the RGB color settings don't have onboard memory which I learned the hard way with the v3 pro.

  • 2 months later this is still the only full review I can find for the V3 X. Thanks to you I've decided to go for the wired one since it has 5 onboard profiles and new scroll wheel with tilt!

  • for those who bought the v3x, i will tell you the battery dies very quickly with the dongle, and the numbers are inaccurate in the video. The bluetooth will give you around 280 hours while the dongle will give you about 100. the bluetooth is also laggy under load, so for everyday use, use the blueooth, but for gaming use the dongle. I bought the mouse brand new myself at the beginning of december 2023, and im writing this in january of 2024. i ahve already changed the battery. it is best to buy a pack of AAs when you get the mouse. Energizer batteries have the longest life in my findings.

    • My wife has been using this since I reviewed it and what you say sounds about right. Using the dongle, her battery dies fairly often. Something i unfortunately didn’t discover when making the video.

  • I have both the new V3 X and older Ultimate and i actually prefer the main buttons on the Ultimate even though opticals usually feel worse, but on the Ultimate in particular they feel very well implemented and tactile. Definitely a preference thing though! I have sound tests of both on my channel which you might have seen.

  • I have the previous model and the v3 pro and I much prefer the hyperspeed. The battery life is absolutely insane, I purchased the hyperspeed in July of 2022 and I use it every day at work on my macbook pro m1 in bluetooth mode and I've only had to recharge my battery 3 times and I get around 8 hours of use per day. The v3 pro I have to charge every other day.

  • Quick tip. U can bind all the hyper shift buttons to the normal funtion of that button to functionally disable hyper shift. If I hold hyper shift and hit mouse 4 or 5 it would tab me out of overwatch which is infinitely frustrating for someone who never even wanted "hyper shift." Ive power cycled my pc and mouse and it kept my custom setting without synapse running. Not sure why that doesn't work w the rgb but whatever. I like the shape of this mouse but after owning the older model which had connectivity issues and now this one with functionally uncustomizable rgb, all I really like about Razer is the shape of this mouse.

  • this was a good review, ive been loving my 100$ ultimate, but one complaint i have is the battery life. It just seems like im having to charge it daily; granted i like to keep the rgb lights bright so that means constantly at 80-100% brightness.When it gets low battery, only the scroll wheel illuminates, and it will just blink red. Now, If im constantly on a low battery mouse with the constant annoying task of charging it daily, i might as well be using a battery operated 35$ hyperspeed lol (seen em on a sale down from 40$ at Walmart just yesterday). Your pretty much just paying for the side and razer symbol itself to glow with rgb by buying the ultimate, at 65$ more once shipping and taxes are done. Because of this constant charging annoyance, i will be adding a hyperspeed to my arsenal.

  • i have the deathadder V2X which i got for 30€ , i'm really interested in the Basilisk v3X but that 79.99€ price is not justified.. especially when you can get the Basilisk Ultimate or Deathadder V2 P for the same price. i'm going to wait for the price to come down a bit (around 39.99€ ~ 49.99€ ) before buying it. I really liked the Basilisk Ultimate i had , especially the shape which was perfect for me in FPS.

  • I've had a few wireless gaming mice in the past and it's always been the same problem, if you play a lot and the mouse suddenly dies in the game you'll throw a tantrum, that's why I would never buy a wireless mouse for gaming . For normal use, not having a cable nearby is fine and dandy, but for gaming it's a no-no for me. I have the Basilisk but with cable and its a great mouse , now im thinking to get the same one for backup 😉

  • Question. Has anyone till now experienced any connectivity issue with the mouse? My Basilisk x hyperspeed is the perfect mouse minus the fact that it disconnects often. Taking the dongle off and connecting it back has to be the most annoying thing I do on a daily to use this mouse. However, the shape is soooo good I am tempted to spend money on this one as well

  • Hey I bought the V3 X Hyperspeed, it was so cheap that I'm willing to risk it, the V3 Pro is 3 or 4 times more depending on adding the dock or not, in my region. A couple of questions for you, what style grip do you have and was it comfortable for you? Have you used this mouse regularly since this video and any further thoughts? How many times have you changed the battery on it?

    @conza1989@conza19895 ай бұрын
    • I mainly used a relaxed palm grip with this mouse and it was quite comfortable. I gave this particular mouse to my wife to use at work and she loves it, but she has had to change the battery 3 times since. This is with 40 hours of use per week.

  • It looks like, at the time of writing, this - and it's older version Basilisk X Hyperspeed (without V3) - are the ONLY two mice models left on this planet which are: 13 cm or more, wireless-dongled and AA-powered. ChatGPT 4 wasn't actually able to find any. So get this one folks, it's the finale of an era, it appears :)

Talk about weight again and I in earnest will be interested.

They shouldn’t be retailing for more than $80 period!🤯😵.
