Razer Basilisk V3 X HyperSpeed Wireless Gaming Mouse: Up to 285 Hr Battery – 18K Optical Sensor – Mechanical Switches – Chroma RGB – 9 Programmable Controls – Black

Mi Logitech G502 le comenzaron a fallar los botones así que elegí este modelo como sucesor.

El G502 tiene piezas metálicas para agregar al gusto y personalizar el peso y distribución del mismo, en teoría es genial pero en la practica sin tener conocimiento sobre como hacer el ajuste es algo molesto, el Razer ya viene con un peso predeterminado el cual es el ideal.

Mientras que el Razer tiene un ajuste manual sobre la resistencia de la rueda al girar, el punto mas ligero no es lo suficientemente ligero para mi gusto, en cambio el G502 tiene un botón que ajusta una resistencia “normal” cercana a la mas ligera del Razer y hace el cambio a ninguna resistencia lo cual permite que la rueda gire por inercia lo cual es genial al navegar en paginas por internet, es un punto en el cual en mi opinión le gana al Razer y esperaba que también lo tuviera.

El cable USB que incluye es muy suave , muy cómodo si no vas a usar el dock y vas a conectarlo directo al mouse.

El dock es genial y muy útil cuando te acostumbras a colocarlo para cargar a la primera.

La iluminación es genial, el software tiene muchas opciones, es tedioso si no te gusta meterte demasiado a los ajustes, pero genial si prefieres personalizar lo mas posible tus periféricos.

Si tuviera que mencionar algún “contra” del dispositivo solo mencionaría dos.

-El ajuste de la resistencia de la rueda debería tener la opción de cero resistencia.
-La batería no dura mucho, si usas el ajuste de la iluminación a la mitad (intensidad), en ese nivel podría durar un turno de trabajo, la carga es relativamente rápida pero seria genial mas capacidad de parte de la batería.

Si vienen de algún mouse mas económico es una buena opción, pero sugiero esperar a la temporada de promociones para conseguirlo a precio atractivo y vendido por Amazon, también sugiero invertir en una garantía extendida por si las dudas.

Actualización: Debido a que es mi primer mouse de esta gama inalámbrico y con un dock hay un detalle que me atrapo desprevenido y puede que les sirva.

A dos meses de estarlo usando continuamente empecé a notar que tardaba en habilitarse después de haberse apagado para ahorrar energía y al montarlo en el dock a veces no lo ponía en carga y solo se quedaba con el patrón de luces.

Al parecer la memoria del mouse se satura y comienza a ciclarse o congelarse al hacer cambio de acciones (pasar de hibernación a activo o de estar en uso a cargando, incluso note que la batería le duraba menos) lo cual se soluciona apagando y volviendo a encender el mouse desde el switch en la parte de abajo , después de esto reacciona igual que el primer día de uso, ahora lo apago cada que me voy a dormir y lo dejo en su dock cargando.

Coming from a Logitech G503 HERO, this mouse feels right at home. It’s got a similar profile, very similar button placement and feels great to use – I have average sized hands. The lightning is also top-notch, something Razer is known for. The free-scrolling wheel is nice, not as free-flowing as Logitech but you don’t notice the difference in every-day use as you rarely let it scroll for more than a couple seconds anyhow. The responsiveness and sensor work very well for precise movement and tracking with no noticeable latency. It’s nice the mouse opts you to use the hardware profiles exclusively and then works as programmed even moving it to a different computer or booting a different OS, or using it on Mac. The only thing you need the Razer Synapse software I guess is if you want it to control the lighting. I have it installed because I also have a Razer keyboard that I use at times. All in all, this is a great wired mouse and pretty decent value when it’s on sale. One of the few Razer products that I don’t feel like I overpaid.

I’m an avid PC user and rarely replace my accessories. My mouse especially was hard to replace, as every top end mouse seems to get lighter and lighter. However, after using the Basilisk V3, I can safely say this mouse has been a perfect upgrade from my 2013 Deathadder. It weighs roughly the same, being on the heavier side for a mouse, and that’s perfect for me. It’s built great, has a fantastic braided cable which is smooth to the touch, it doesn’t catch on corners like the older Razer cables, and the RGB is stellar. I really like the ring of RGB that goes around the base, and it’s incredibly easy to edit in Razer Synapse.

The mouse is also extremely comfortable. I didn’t expect a thumb rest to do much, but I’ll honestly miss it if I ever have to upgrade.

For the price, you really can’t go wrong. This mouse is incredible for its price point and well worth investing in if you like to ‘feel’ your mouse movements.

I needed a replacement for my G502 proteus core which i’ve had since 2015 or so, I really needed a mouse with a similar button layout, specifically a thumb button as well since I use that alot for VOIP push to talk and I’m way too used to it. I have a g502 hero mouse too but the double clicking issue with logi has gone beyond belief at this point and I just can’t risk buying another set of mice like it (I already RMA’d the hero mouse once) just failing with switches over and over, it wastes my time far too much. Granted, my old proteus core is still kicking but I needed another mouse for work as well. The basilisk so far, first day of use, these are my impressions:

**The GOOD GOOD**:
-Small
-Lightweight (compared to g502)
-Resistance levels are adjustable for the scroll wheel
-Razer software allows on board memory usage as well, I don’t really have complaints with Synapse.
-Thumb button is fantastic, feels fantastic
-Side buttons feel alright, I do like the feel of the G502 better but they’re fine.

***The not so good good***
– Seems like the battery life might not be 100hrs as advertised, 1.5 hours of use drained almost 12% already though it is not in low power mode. This might not be ideal for long extended 15-18 hour gaming sessions which I really don’t do anymore unless I’m on holidays or something, I’m testing the low power mode and will report again eventually.
-no other issues observed yet.

Overall:
Well, I can’t really complain, it’s wireless, it feels good, it’s responsive even in low power mode right now, the dock is magnetic so it’s extremely easy to just latch on and leave (very big bonus). The thumb button is removable but it also feels fantastic as button concept is far superior to what the G502 had.

Time will tell if the mouse holds up to my old logitech treasure, my initial experience with a Razer Naga over 10 years ago was absolutely traumatizing, the thing maybe lasted 6 months between double clicking issues and eventually the sensor just dying on me. This new Basilisk + the Synapse software seem to have redeemed my praise for Razer, they’ve come a long way but again, time will tell. If you see this mouse on sale, at least based on these first impressions, I’d say buy it with the dock. (it’s currently $120 on Amazon US with the dock included which is why I purchased it).

**Update April 30th**

Only 2 days of use now, I realized my battery was draining over 10% an hour with 33% brightness on RGB and 1000 polling rate. I dropped the RGB lighting to 0 on the mouse and polling rate to 500 hz, now it’s about 1% per hour of gaming time so it seems to be falling in line with the 100hrs of use at that point (note, this is not in low power mode which I haven’t really tested well yet). I preemptively put a ticket in with Razer to see if I had a dud or not initially but it seems like if this actually holds at 1% per hour in current settings, it’s plenty, i throw it on the dock over night anyways but at this rate it can last 4-5 days of playing without a charging it which is quite impressive.

Update after a couple weeks of use:

I’m very happy with this mouse, it is certainly extremely customizable. I previously mentioned I managed to get the battery life alot higher. Now after a full day of gaming, 15hrs + I’m barely even getting to like 81-85% battery which is fantastic. Charging it so mindless with the dock that I don’t think anyone will ever worry about it. Overall my only complaint is that the clicking feels a bit wobbly, my logitech mice clicks are generally very firm and there’s no movement of the click buttons side to side whatsoever, but otherwise, the mouse itself is fantastic, extremely comfortable and again the closest thing I could get to a g502, the scroll wheel has a nice feel, the rest of the button feels very good with each click feeling fantastic.
