Razer's new updated budget wireless Basilisk loses some features from the Basilisk V3 Pro, but at less than half the price, it has a LOT of good stuff.

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!

[@franc2255]

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

[@vihaandeo1971]

11,800 rs mosuse is a budget for you

[@justinpolson6521]

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.

[@a7mn]

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!

[@user-ls5km6in9t]

Your explaination is so kind

[@lennartuecker]

Thanks for the review! I use the Ultimate for my Gaming Setup and I need one with bluetooth for my MacBook (on the go). Seems to be a great option 👍

[@devenstinn5235]

Great review and video. Thank you for making it so clear and understandable!

[@bubwill2356]

I personally love heavy mice for my shooters. Idk why just never liked the honeycomb super light weight ones. Just ordered one of these excited to try it out.

[@imeimenic]

ty for the review bro!

[@justinpolson6521]

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.

[@mjknijne]

Thanks for the review. I really don't like the Logitech G502 x versions , and I cant justify the cost for the Basilisk V3 pro. This could perhaps be the sweet spot. I still have a battery powered G602 since forever. (But is starting to fall apart)

[@orgl_diosenpai]

Thx for the review

[@eymn-13]

thanks for doing a review on this mouse. i was surprised to see no one has really talked about it much so far, i imagine Razer kinda released it under the radar?

[@turrboenvy4612]

If they had bothered to include smart reel scroll wheel, I would buy one today. That's what I love most about the V3 (wired).

[@Seriouspup]

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.

[@Omega-EP]

The final joke was actually funny. Good job on the review.

[@YassineELAZMI]

Thanks for the review. I’m wondering were you able to find an app to use for customization with the steamdeck?

[@mabaus06]

Thx for your video it was were informativ and due to your video i bought the mouse and iam very happy with it

[@GanDtech]

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.

[@goldstein10493]

is it too heavy compared to most gaming mouse?

[@WalmartBrandClothingItems]

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.

[@Portly]

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.

[@abdogaming4613]

I think u didn t turn off the rgb

[@southamptonfan3460]

My friend maybe u tried , but a tip is to try and use more high quality batteries , I am not sure what u use and I still haven't received my product , but I presume using higher quality batteries will lead to longer life, I hope it's helped if it needed solving of course :)

[@abdogaming4613]

@@southamptonfan3460 i m still using the original batteri after 2 months but i turned off rgb and i usually use blutooth exept when gaming

[@CMG02]

I bought the v3 normal, and i hope ill enjoy it

[@followMii-Ng]

Thx for sharing. I just got mine and wanted something smooth operationally and versatile for design work. I might have to go outside now, maybe get a few tiny weights to hold my mouse down

[@imbeautiful9305]

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.

[@bangleyjelly]

I much prefer using my own Eneloop AA batteries than whatever crappy lithium they would have paired with it that would eventually die out anyway. Def a big reason to get this.

[@kingstonlilo6352]

Overall great video 😁👍

[@flowAws]

is this mouse good for work considering other options? im not too sure how valuable the scrollwheel features actually are that this mouse lacks

[@moghogatwork]

Nice review dude! Been looking at this because I like heavy mice, but I really need 3 thumb buttons. Can you reprogramme the button that switches profiles?

[@Portly]

Thanks! Yeah you can program each button to do whatever you need, including changing profiles

[@fwabble]

Great review, lots of good information - with regards to the weight whilst I do understand what you are saying - it's nto that heavy - I ask you, play 10 games of Valorant TDM for 10 days (of your choice I am not saying in a row!) that's 100 matches total, Valorant TDM ('replace' with absolutely NO OTHER game or mode - NOT DM - NOT CS). Talk about weight again and I in earnest will be interested.

[@rogersmith4926]

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 😉

[@sp-xx8ty]

Be aware of the dying dongles razer has. My viper V2 pro dongle died on a $150 mouse and I had to pay $20 + shipping for a new one.

[@franc2255]

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.

[@hackdesigner]

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 :)

[@brunokarlezi3710]

Great review! Quick question tho, when you say "bluetooth mode", does this mean I can use it without the usb A dongle?

[@Portly]

As long as your computer has Bluetooth then yes. Just keep in mind you will have some input lag and a lower polling rate on Bluetooth, so if you’re using it for fast paced games, Bluetooth isn’t exactly recommended

[@mahirdaiyan9138]

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

[@DakotaThePawgHunter]

I like how people say this is a budget but I always thought 30 was too much for a mouse

[@vihaandeo1971]

in india its expensive bro

[@reazonfv]

when i flick fast with this mouse it goes straight to the bottom of my screen any way to fix?

[@valthewiz97]

the only thing that is stopping me from getting this mouse is that it has mechanical switches vs the optical one in the DeathAdder V2 Pro. But the V2 is a lot older

[@hachiEightSix]

The mechanical switches feel great. I’d say they’re better feeling than the first gen opticals in the viper ultimate

[@ivanleo7564]

V3 is a good mouse but I hate the button on the side it’s so annoying because I grip my dumb there and I didn’t see it from the pic at Walmart when I bought it

[@prabhuxbhpian2413]

Can we use rechargeable batteries with this mouse?

[@conza1989]

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?

[@Portly]

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.

[@-asuki-chan-4382]

I found mine at a bin store for 5$ lol so i was very lucky and its amazing.

[@SevenDeMagnus]

Cool, I like heavy gaming mice and Razer coz' they are the father of gaming peripherals and I want to honor Razer for that. I wish all mice would just the Hyperscroll as standard. God bless.

[@dw8555]

"You could just put it down and go outside!" LMAO!

[@Tepidburrito]

You stole my dog

[@mrcvry]

Got the pro. Annoying that there is still no third-party software for the buttons.

[@JackTDipper]

The problem with this mouse is that you can't attach a cable to it. If you bring this mouse with you and the batterij runs out and you don't have a battery one you, then you can't use it.

[@ProAvgeek6328]

then bring batteries? replace batteries BEFORE it dies? how lazy are you?

[@JosephLuther32]

Thanks for explaining what the big side button does for a complete mnk noob.

[@stevesutton772]

Ay i played you in Diablo 4! The druid looks just like you!

[@Portly]

Yoooo awesome lol

[@ikhuang]

Are you sure there’s no onboard memory? The Razer site says 1 profile and rtings review says there is onboard memory.

[@Portly]

I guess I was wrong 🤔. I couldn’t find anything about it to confirm and assumed there wasn’t because I didn’t see anything in Synapse but I do see onboard memory for the Ultimate. Thanks for the heads up!

[@Galletti95]

You can pair it via bluetooth to your macbook without the need of a dongle, right?

[@Portly]

That’s correct but I hear Razer and Macs don’t play nice so if you plan to use Synapse, you may run into problems

[@user-vd2hc6wm1g]

I lost my disk on key what do I do?

[@husseinhaydar8466]

Do you still recommending it ? And does the it have a scroll wheel problem? Like it skipping ..

[@Portly]

My wife has been using it since I made this video and the only problem she has is the battery life. Even with lighting off, using it for work 8 hours a day she goes through batteries probably once a month. So not terrible but annoying for sure

[@husseinhaydar8466]

Well, thanks for answering. That helped a lot

[@markschwacofer1802]

I picked one up on eBay new sealed box for 30.00 i picked it up up for a backup I think a better choice for the price is an ASUS ROG Gladius III Wireless AimPoint Gaming Mouse, Connectivity (2.4GHz RF, Bluetooth, Wired), 36000 DPI Sensor, 6 programmable Buttons, ROG SpeedNova, Replaceable switches, Paracord Cable for 79.99

Black shark v2 pro 2023 edition is looking nice. Been pretty disgusted with razer outside the blackwidow v4 pro and basilisk v3 pro. Legit wanted to go full razer but the mics SUCK the headsets sucked all the other keyboards were meh. V4 won out only for hyper shift and customization.

[@sherkaan5714]

I want to buy Basilisk V3 for COD, but it's not available where I live. Will this mouse work well for COD? What about latency?

[@Portly]

As long as you use the dongle the latency shouldn’t really be an issue. I have been having a problem with battery life though, even with RGB off, have had to change batteries two or three times since making this video. Not a huge deal but seems faster than expected

[@michaelthompson9798]

The Basilisk is the tried n true weightier mouse recommended for years. While that’s good, a new mouse is needed for choice for consumers 🥰👍😇. I personally main an Orochi V2 which, for me, is a great mouse to use 😇🤤👍💪. Considering what goes into these ‘high end’ mouses today ($120-200) …. They shouldn’t be retailing for more than $80 period!🤯😵.
