## Description

Review: Looks great, works flawlessly. - Feels incredible in hand, smooth, reliable and very comfortable for extended periods of use. The ability to change dpi on the fly & the integrated rgbic lighting is a very nice touch. The additional buttons come in handy on FPS games and even within Windows when browsing the web, for example. Nice tactile feel to the left and right click with a predictable and quiet scroll wheel. Overall it's an excellent mouse at a reasonable price. Would recommend
Review: Great mouse - I bought this for my Razer laptop because I hate the software you need for most peripherals, and wanted something that'd work with the already-installed Synapse. While it's no SteelSeries Rival 500 (my preferred wired mouse) in terms of buttons, it doesn't come far off, especially if you chord functionality. It's so much lighter than the Rival 500 though, ridiculously so, and glides very very well. Being able to adjust the resistance/clickiness of the wheel is pretty cool too. I do like this mouse a LOT. There's no bluetooth, but you can plug the USB cable in and use it wired. I love the flexibility of the dongle though - either put it in your machine, or use the included braided USB cable to plug the charger in, and plug it into the charger! Pretty awesome. The charger stand's actually good for holding the mouse while it's tilted past 45 degrees, so great for using on a non-level surface. Battery life's easily good for a few days use, so realistically it should never run out since all you need to do is drop the mouse on the charger then lift it off again. One hand. Why wouldn't you when you're done? Now the software, Synapse. It's pretty good when it works, but there's times it doesn't. Either the app crashes, or the service crashes, or it runs 100% cpu, or it doesn't detect when you're starting or switching to an app/game you have a specific razer profile for. And unless I've missed something, if you have a specific Razer profile for an app/game there's no way of getting rid of the annoying "switching profiles" overlay you get on-screen when you switch to or from it. I'm not going to penalise this for the software though, as firstly ALL peripheral software sucks - Logitech, Razer, Corsair, NZXT, SteelSeries... They're universally awful. There's still a chance that it could be improved though, unlike the hardware you're buying now. If I were to need a new mouse for a Razer laptop, I'd buy this again in a heartbeat. For anything else including desktop I think it'd be a pretty tough choice - which means I can only give this five stars! Oh, and the packaging's 10/10. Very robust, loads of foam, magnetic closing. Bit bulky for travelling (160x180x80) but if storage is a consideration for your use case, the box is great.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you need to use the usb dongle for this or can you connect through Bluetooth without a dongle? All my usb ports are in use - thanks!**
A: Very late answer but just in case this is still something you'd like to know the website advertises that you can switch to Bluetooth mode for improved battery life, Which seems to imply that it can function as a Bluetooth device (though whether or not this will work without a dongle will depend on if your computer itself has Bluetooth support)

**Q: Mine just decided to stop charging while plugged in or on the dock anyone know how to fix this?**
A: I got this Razer Basilisk mouse/dock combo brand new and direct from Amazon for a bargain £64.99, but nearly returned it after ra couple of days after the battery died and would not charge on the included dock.

I heard some stories about the pins not being long enough and some users had other "fixes" but there may be a "proper" solution for those with the same issue.

Looking at the dock, it appears that the cable is hard wired......it's not!

It's actually a detachable Micro-USB cable.

So thinking "the pins were too short" as mentioned by other users, I unplugged the cable from the dock and plugged it directly into the Micro-USB port on the front of the mouse, which makes the mouse into a corded mouse if you like that sort of thing.

Anyhow, this got me thinking that maybe the cable hadn't been fully inserted into the dock, so tried that and et voila, it worked!"

So to all those who think they've got a faulty dock, give that a try!

**Q: What is the max dpi on this mouse and is it really good too use for games**
A: the dpi can be adjusted easily using a button on the mouse - up to 16000 dpi I believe. I find it a little light weight for my preference. I'd prefer a heavier design.

**Q: Is it comfortable with the mouse if you playing a fame**
A: Very comfortable, for my hands at least.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality and quick mouse for not much more than a cheap knock off
*by P***D on 26 May 2025*

I seem to be addicted to buying cheap mouse's and always being disgruntled as to how the perform goes. Well being recently very impressed with another Razer product I bought this and to be fair its not expensive being wired. My main objective was in a few games when you try and snipe or account for bullet speed and give lead a lessors mouse just seems to hang or never seems able to put that cross were you want it so you fluff a lot of shots. Not anymore this was an eye opener ..even without the snipe button pressed it was sooo much quicker getting onto the target and holding it there even if they walked or moved...with the snipe button depressed it was almost but not quite cheating how easy it was (this button drops the DPI to 400 so in effect mouse movements are slower to help tweak those cross hairs..but release it and you are straight back to whatever you set it at..mines at 2000dpi and its quick without being uncontrollable ) But given Im playing against quick fingers super kids..I need that advantage . Re programming buttons is simple the Razer softwear is very easy to understand and you cant really mess anything up buttons are super nice..size is good..bigger than I expected which I'm pleased with..weight is nominal but not heavy..finish is grippy-ish..button placements good..sniper button is a little fwd but then you tend to have time to find it ...glides easily on my mat..something others struggle with as its leatherette (I know why have one like that you say) I'm liking Razer products they are for me a game changer ...I'm typing this with a cheap ergonomic vertical mouse..and that makes me realise just how important a better mouse is and how less frustrating to use when you are trying to say highlight a word or mark just before a full stop and it keeps missing..well done Razer credit duly deserved and all for quite sensible money
