Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K - White

Razer’s Basilisk V3 Pro 35k wireless gaming mouse is a premium gaming mouse that is highly customizable. As an owner of the original Basilisk V3 Pro, there isn’t much of a difference between both mice but this recent V3 Pro 35k has some slightly better features than its predecessor. This is my review of the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35k.In the box, you get the mouse, a HyperSpeed wireless dongle, a USB dongle adapter, a braided USB-A to USB-C cable, and some documentation. The setup is all plug-and-play if you plan to use the 2.4GHz wireless dongle or the provided cable, no drivers are needed! This mouse also has Bluetooth if desired. I recommend downloading Razer’s Synapse software. Not only is it easy to use but this mouse is highly customizable via this software. ... MoreRazer’s Basilisk V3 Pro 35k wireless gaming mouse is a premium gaming mouse that is highly customizable.

The setup is all plug-and-play if you plan to use the 2.4GHz wireless dongle or the provided cable, no drivers are needed! This mouse also has Bluetooth if desired. I recommend downloading Razer’s Synapse software. Not only is it easy to use but this mouse is highly customizable via this software. Changing lighting, mapping buttons, game profiles, sensitivity, and more are customizable through this software.The Basilisk V3 Pro has the same design as the original (see picture). I don’t mind this, as I found the original comfortable and ergonomic. I also thought the buttons were well-placed except for the Razer Hypershift/Sensitivity Clutch. I have used mice where this button was on the same area where one rests their thumb. I find this more comfortable and easier to use especially while gaming. I hope the location for this button changes in the future. But if you had me blind-test both mice, I would not be able to find a difference. The difference is with the mouse’s capabilities which I will cover later.To preface, I still own the original Basilisk V3 Pro and let’s say there were some prevalent quality control issues with that model. Initially, there were no issues at all until I started noticing slowly that the 2.4GHz receiver was not receiving input. I did all I could in troubleshooting the issue and after some research, I noticed that the issues with the wireless receiver were widespread with this model. I was saddened to see that such issues existed since I held Razer in high regard. Fortunately, I have yet to see these QC issues arise with this model of the Basilisk V3 Pro. I hope it stays that way but only time will tell.As I said, the differences between the original and the new one are minor, but they do make a difference if you are a gamer who enjoys wireless peripherals. First, the battery on the new model will last significantly longer than its predecessor. I have yet to charge this mouse since the initial charge. The new one will last about 140 hours on the wireless receiver and up to 210 hours on Bluetooth. The max sensitivity (DPI) is 5000 greater than the original coming in at a whopping 35k. I’m not a competitive gamer, so there is no need to set my DPI that high, but it can still give a great advantage, especially in FPS games. And that’s it for differences. It is the same mouse that is just as customizable as the original and looks the same.In conclusion, this seems to be a solid upgrade from the original Basilisk V3 Pro. I had issues with the wireless receiver with the previous model which never got fixed and seem to be due to QC issues. Luckily, this new Basilisk V3 Pro 35k seems to be working a whole lot better. I hope it stays that way because this is seriously a nice gaming mouse. Now if you still have the original and it works fine, I would keep it and not upgrade as the differences are minor and upgrading is not justified. On the other hand, if you want a new solid and premium gaming mouse, you cannot go wrong with this one!

This is a fantastic computer mouse both for gaming and casual use. I like that I can use it wired or wireless, and I can change that at any point. For example, if I did run out of battery, I could easily use it wired. The wire for it is very well-made and fitting for a premium product. Im not sure what material it’s made from, but it’s very flexible and not like many cords that come with products that feel like they’ll break quickly. The battery life is also good!Getting started using it was easy and went quickly! The mouse moves extremely smoothly (mousepad or not), no hesitation or issues with connection. I love the wheel and the different functions for it (the hyper scroll is awesome!!). It’s also very ergonomic and comfortable for my hand (even though I have ... MoreThis is a fantastic computer mouse both for gaming and casual use.

I love the wheel and the different functions for it (the hyper scroll is awesome!!). It’s also very ergonomic and comfortable for my hand (even though I have smaller hands), I felt much less hand fatigue while using it. The lights are also beautiful and relaxing, they’re not too bright to create glare, instead they just have a very nice glow of shifting colors. I was worried they would be distracting, but this is definitely not an issue, The weight of the mouse is also comfortable, not too light to feel flimsy and not too heavy to feel cumbersome.I’m not a heavy gamer, so many of the functions are not necessary for me, but they are wonderful additions to a premium product, and I like that they’re available if it’s something I decided to get into in the future. I do photography as a hobby and it worked very well for editing photos with precision, and the comfort of using it was very appreciated as I can log some serious hours doing that!It doesn’t seem like much in the grand scale of things but the packaging is also incredible for this mouse and you can immediately tell that you’re about to start unpackaging a very luxe product. It would be an incredible gift for somebody who’s a gamer or somebody at their computer most of the day for work. As I said, as a photographer, it is also fantastic for photo editing. Simply a great product that is splurgeworthy!Thank you to influenster for gifting me this product for review, all thoughts are honest and my own.

The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K Wireless Mouse is an ergonomic gaming mouse with useful versatility. The first thing I noticed taking it out of the box is the size and sturdiness of the mouse. It measures 5.1 inches long by 2.95 inches wide by 1.67 inches tall. It weighs 3.95 oz. My hand size is large and I have owned large mice for as long as I've been gaming. That said, the Razer Basilisk V3 is probably the largest and heaviest mouse I have ever used. I love those aspects of it; I find small, light mice to be easy to over-drag, quick to break, and actually harder on my wrist. The Razer Basilisk V3 is quick to maneuver, fits well in my palm, and has buttons that are in the right spot for where my fingers naturally rest.

I love those aspects of it; I find small, light mice to be easy to over-drag, quick to break, and actually harder on my wrist. The Razer Basilisk V3 is quick to maneuver, fits well in my palm, and has buttons that are in the right spot for where my fingers naturally rest. From an ergonomic perspective, it should be noted that this mouse is designed for right-handed use, with a curved textured shelf along the left side of the mouse for the right hand thumb to rest and access buttons. It is also slightly asymmetrical with the right mouse button extending just slightly further than the left mouse button. Regarding buttons, there is the left click button, right click button, scroll wheel, scroll click, scroll wheel mode toggle, cycle sensitivity button, two side buttons, and a side sensitivity clutch. On the bottom of the mouse, there is a connectivity slide switch and a profile button. The mouse can be connected via Bluetooth, 2.4Ghz dongle, or wired with a USB-A to USB-C cable. The Razer Basilisk V3 has 13-zone Chroma RGB, including a lit mouse wheel, a lit Razer logo on the palm, and on the bottom along the outer profile of the mouse. I would highly recommend downloading the Razer Synapse app either before using the mouse or very early on. There are 13 customizable controls that can be configured in Synapse, along with sensitivity settings, RGB settings, scroll wheel scrolling options, and surface calibration. One unique feature is the Sensitivity Clutch thumb button along the side. When it is depressed, the sensitivity decreases to 400 dpi. When released, the sensitivity reverts to the dpi it was set at before the button was depressed. This is useful when aiming down sights in a game and need less sensitivity to move the reticle on a temporary basis. I was using it in Black Ops 6 and Fortnite, and it was incredibly useful and easy to use while sniping. The mouse always felt easy to move on a mouse pad, and the mouse buttons felt responsive without being over-sensitive. I have enjoyed using the Razer Basilisk V3 in all my games. If the user will have small hands, I do think that the large size of the mouse could be an issue. But, I don't think anyone with average to large hands will have any issue using this mouse comfortably for many hours. I highly recommend it for any gamer.
