Razer Basilisk v3 Pro VS Logitech g502 x Plus White (Gaming Mice Review)

Razer Basilisk v3 Pro VS Logitech g502 x Plus White (Gaming Mice Review)
Today I'm going to do a comparison between two of the Top Gaming Mice in todays market. After the usual research, I narrowed my next mouse down to these two models. After that I ordered both and got to testing to see which will become my daily driver and which is getting returned.
The result was actually surprising to me.

i just bought the g502x plus today. i am loving the ergonomics! sold my viper ultimate and im so happy!

[@kirill454]

I was looking to buy Razer Basilisk and it was quite a surprise to see a review here. Thank you for the info!

[@LeyzarGamingViews]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Skydawg55]

Take it with a grain of salt. Most comparison's I've seen prefer the Basilisk V3. I've had both. The Basilisk is the winner in my humble opinion. I also prefer the Razer Synapse software. Just more intuitive.

[@matthewbeyatli661]

thanks for the video❤ . i needed to buy a new mouse now have a honest info about the two😊

[@LeyzarGamingViews]

You're welcome 😊

[@HoshPak]

My G502 X arrived today and I'm not immediately convinced by it, coming from an MX Master. Looking forward to try the Razer Basilisk after watching tbis video.

[@dhheisterYT]

Did u got one yet? How is it?

[@omix]

Something very important that makes a big difference: The Razor Basilisk needs the Synapse software to be running to keep the lightning personalization working while the G502X Plus can carry on-board the mouse memory multiple profiles including lighting personalization, macros, etc which can be used in different devices without any software.

[@Klongu_Da_Bongu]

False, it has a profile switch button on the bottom. And you can put any macros/lights on it you want, same as the logitech.

[@omix]

@@Klongu_Da_Bongu I wish you were right, but you are not. If you connect the mouse to another computer without Synapse, the lightning effect switches to default. It doesn't matter if you have multiple profiles with different lighting effects. Only some key bindings are saved in the onboard memory.

[@Klongu_Da_Bongu]

@@omix I didn't try connecting it to another computer. Shame then.

[@noobatron2663]

@@omix Oh thank you for this one, because I was considering the Viper V3 for use at work, unfortunately we can't install software on our workstations. Also to note is that the V3 is like 150$ vs 110$ for the 502xplus where I live - this solidifies by decision to go for the latter then!

[@omix]

@@noobatron2663 The Balistik V3 Pro has a killer feature, which is switching from 2.4hz (USB dongle) to Bluetooth connection. With this, I am able to control my personal computer too with a single switch. 💯

[@mattgrover3096]

I use the razor for WF. Perfect. Plenty of buttons and the shift feature for all the abilities and movements. Love it

[@montauc3243]

I have both the razer and the logi because they are both good for different reasons! I use the logi and razer cobra pro for gaming and the razer basilisk v3 pro for work combined with msx master.

[@carlosv567]

Both are really good. The razer feels like higher quality it’s also heavy. My arms hurt after playing Fortnite. A lot of movement. The G its light very clicky . One thing i dislike about the G it’s the dpi bottom it’s very high so u will press here and there mess up the game play.

[@Sturmx]

Wow I forgot about the Logitech G9. Was just thinking about it but couldn't remember the name. LOVED it.. was the perfect size. Wish I could find a wireless mouse like it.

[@itsnightie]

I've been using the Razor Lancehead Tournament Edition for 5 years and I have yet to find a mouse that feels just as good in my hand. I've tried 4 differents mice and none of them had the same premium clicks as the Lancehead. As a fellow Lancehead enjoyer i'm curious if you managed to find a mouse that fit you well after using it for so long ? I'm starting to lose all hope, mice these days all feel cheap and way too light...

[@clinten3131]

I just got the g502 x white non rgb and it looks and feels amazing out of the box. Im looking forward to using it. I think its perfect for a male medium to large hand.

[@victorio404]

Logitech has the auto scroll switch mode on MX Master, not sure why they won't use it on the G502 X....

[@peternguyen3732]

Wow these mouse brings back so much good memories! Thanks for sharing :)

[@CrystalMaiden-s1k]

I can recommend you this gaming mosue. The DM6 Holey Duo gaming mouse is a lightweight and responsive option for gamers, with a max speed of 250 IPS and 125/500/1000Hz polling rate. It features a PMW3335 optical sensor, gold-plated USB, and customizable DPI up to 16000.

[@ecash00]

Im a person that believes in proven tech, that Just works. Its been out there along time. There are very few reasons to use hardware encoding, unless they have a Weird programming. NOW, on aside, Windows only allows 5 buttons, but Linux goes upto 25.. Iv suggested MS fix this. There are allot of Mice out there they have WAY more then 5 buttons. And using a 3rd party program Slows the mice is figuring what has to be done.

[@curedanxiety1679]

idk man, a rinky dinky mouse that will be in shambles from a flick or a gamer rage moment, i think i'll pass on this one.

[@SamuelHollandsh]

Nice video, thanks for sharing. 👍

[@zifengjiang5899]

Got both and end up returning the Logitech one. Razor mouse just feels more premium to me better quality. I prefer the razor software too.

[@nicolaslsoto]

I have the 502x and I prefer the Basilisk because it has better ergonomics... the palm area protrudes more providing better support... might not be noticeable to people with smaller hands. But I def find it more comfortable.

[@LeyzarGamingViews]

Feel in hand is subjective. Try as many as you can and pick your favorite.

[@apocalic]

Better only for your hand, mate

[@nicolaslsoto]

@@apocalic Nah I've spoken to a few people and they feel the same lol. Its all subjective. If I were the only one, Razer wouldnt be selling any.

[@mysticqro950]

@@apocalicNah he’s right. I actually own both of these mice and the Basilisk feels nicer for me. The Logitech took longer for me to get used to.

[@Donbros]

G502 is 6.5 is comfortability, 7.5 is basilisk and 8 is glorious model i (but that one has holes so it looses 0.5 point)

[@YGadgETech]

Did you notice with the basilisk v3 pro when side click the mouse wheel there’s another sound before the click? Like software sound or it’s just mine act like that?

[@TexasCat99]

What's with the odd rough texture of the Basilisk V3? Is it something people prefer or get used to?

[@aternialaffsalot]

Yes

[@christianpatterson1061]

Have you heard anything about the white rubber yellowing on the Razor V3 after a week or two? That is a major concern of mine

[@Raradox]

loving the reviews!

[@pedrojoseavilamoreno7358]

Which would you recommend for people who spend a lot of time on the computer? I have tried the G502 and I feel that my wrist was getting tired or well, it felt a bit slow, I don't know if the razer basilik v3 slides better than the logitech G502 x plus?

[@Plague_Runner_]

The lance head is a thing of beauty. Sucks can't hardly find one anymore. I'm in the market for a wireless in now and I'd like to stick with razor, but I keep seeing mixed reviews on their newer mice. Please razor bring back the lance head 🙏

[@zeta4687]

uh.......i don't think you can return it once you open the package at least that's the case in my country

[@emonkhan1443]

What are the click rating for the light force and gen 3 optical?

[@maxrobomutt]

was literally just looking to upgrade to a new gaming mouse so great timing lol

[@ruivilasboas4276]

I remember that i once started playing warframe on pc as my second account, my main account is on ps4, i even asked leyzar in a video if i could join his clan and i did, but now that i found time again to manage 2 accounts at once i find myself no longer in his clan for some reason, maybe because I stoped playing on pc for a long time, but now, i progressed a lot in the game in just 2 months, played the anniversary event and did some fashion with excalibur, got some good weapons, warframes, nothing prime yet, but still good things. Wish I could join his clan again though

[@H.K._G36C]

Love your review 😎

[@alexg350]

From what I see in many reviews, this Razer is stronger on the Pros and very few Cons, but reviewers end choosing the Logitech. I've been 8 years with G502 Proteus, the one you show in the video at some point. Time to move to G502 X Lightspeed, non RGB.

[@comediangj4955]

More side buttons = better, for me at least.

[@L3AF]

Great review, ive used the g502 way bak and now i have a g502 lightspeed and they all break the same way, double click and or click and drag issues. ive been a big fan of logitech and used the G5 way back love that thing its like a brick u wont damage it, u might damage other things around it :P but with years its been always the same even with the G700 series they all break the same to me after years. so i am try my luck on Razer for once

[@3choblast3r4]

I also have a G502 lightspeed and the G502 X, the difference is that the X has "hybrid optical" switches... This is a weird name, because it sounds like it's actually just a mechanical switch that is marketed as optical. But what it actually is, is an optical switch that feels like a mechanical one. *Meaning the G502 X cannot get the same double click issue that happened to G502 lightspeed etc.*

[@L3AF]

thats good to know my SO is getting that mouse (502X) and i already bought myself a basalisk and i am creazy liking the razer mouse. @@3choblast3r4

[@russelletayson3868]

Dont forget about the application too because its also a big factor too

[@hidupmandirimedan]

i need to correct you on 13.30 , logitech aready have the " automatic free scroll" mode ages ago. They implement it on MX series. i believe logitech is the first one to use that feature on their mouse. i just dont know why they dont do that on the G series. so it is razer that steal that idea from logitech.

[@Ayannnnnnn]

who LMB(left button) stiff?

[@gearspider]

G9 is the Greatest Mouse ever. I can not find a modern replacement *hint hint Logitech*. I'm still kind of using my G9 from 2007.

[@xouenm]

That coarse texture is for grip tho

[@Rikipaus]

problem is that right now g502x plus cost atleast in my country around 120, while basilisk v3 pro still 170+, so logitech winning right now

[@Donbros]

Something in between is probably most popular gtio not those weird three grips invented by some rando guys

[@VarjoPira]

The shapes between G502 and G502 X are vastly different. X favors larger hands, and feels less ergonomic. The button placement also feels smoother on the original. I also HATE how the clicks sound on the X - as you said, _cheap._ Combine the sound of current optical switches w/ the feel of hybrid, and it's a winner. TL;DR: Love the OG502, hate the new one. Funny how little things change the entire experience. Currently using Corsair Darkstar and, based on my experiences, they've been upping their mouse game recently. It's comfortable, has a nice build quality and nifty extra features. Plus, it just looks really good.

[@ALOdessky]

LOGITECH G9 is really best mouse ever existed and really sad that Logitech is not making update with same shape as was g9 ...

[@Unknown-qr7mj]

Becareful with the white version v3 pro. it stain pretty quickly on the side. plus i have unfortunate experience. 2 mice of v3 pro broke. one is the middle click issue, and the other one dongle just died after few secs. it a brand new seal unit.

[@gifdu88]

Sadly in my country Basilisk is twice as expensive as Logitech. So for me its clear winner Logitech just because of price.

[@LeyzarGamingViews]

oh yeah, in that case get the logitech

[@gifdu88]

@@LeyzarGamingViews I did :D for 80 dollars in sale. The ergonomics and precision are superior however I dont really like that clicky sound of buttons and noticed that Logitech cant really do pure white color in RGB lighting.. it lights as light blue but never pure white. Wonder if Basilisk can.

[@chuayx7572]

Not everybody in every market has the luxury of purchasing a chunk of gaming mouse, test it then send it back......meaning, the mouse they get IS the one they have to commit if not attempt to resell at a loss.....

[@LeyzarGamingViews]

Sorry to hear that. If you can get access to a stare and hold them before. That will be your best bet

[@Blashyrkh666Raven]

The automatic free spin thing is not needed to be copied by logitech since it's on Mx master series since ages. Razer copied that.

[@mkatakm]

Are you really playing Forza with a mouse?

[@mark4837]

I don’t agree with this review. I have watched several reviews on these two mice and the Razor always come out on top. The Logitech can’t switch between Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz. In reviews people have complained about the button clocks on the Logitech. The amount of travel for to click. What’s the point of the RGB lighting if it’s going to be covered up by your hand. And after nnnnnjd. After checking reviews on Amazon I found more people complaining about Logitech mouse failures. And with the Logitech you have to run their software suit for it to work.

[@Sneaky_Basket]

6:50 Latency dude, all about latency! When ur device is in "wireless mode" u get "latency" even if u r using last version of bluetooth or radio transmitter... don`t forget about speed of USB ports if u using them, all that has matters when we talk about "response" of a device Yes latency is few mil. secs. but, if u r "old dog" of a gaming than u r probably feal it coz of ur reaction speed a especially if u was playing on "wired device"... ESPECIALLY if u where playing "fast shooters" as "Warframe" or "Doom" or "Quake arena" so yeah...

[@Альпаковод]

Warf-not "fast shooter"

[@Sneaky_Basket]

@@Альпаковод this is the shooter and u must move to not die on the most of chars so... it is frickin pretty much suit to the term "fast shooter" dude...(but probably better say "high dynamic shooter") Especially if we compair it with cs:go or BF 3/4/2042 or COD

[@Альпаковод]

@@Sneaky_Basket i think better compare with... Destiny or... Borderlands And we will see that Warframe is'nt such a fast shooter.

I’ll never buy another razer product. Their products are overpriced and not built to last.

Used the Lancehead for almost 4 years with zero issues. Blackwidow ultimate Chroma for 5 years. Still works fine today. Did have the original deathadder defect after 24h but the one they replaced it with still works today and that's a 16 year old mouse.

[@davidmil15]

@@LeyzarGamingViews I had 3 nagas all just stopped working within a year. ( they were for me and my kids to play together) Switched to Logitech g600 (think that’s the model) which is practically the same mouse except that it works flawlessly.

We used a G600 for 5 years before it died. Was a great mouse for MMOs

[@RokuX51]

I have had a black widow chroma and firefly for 7 years now and no issue. What do you mean not built to last lol. I haven't had experience with their new products tho so idk if quality has gone down.

[@davidmil15]

@@RokuX51 glad it works for you, but it definitely didn't work well for me. You don't have to join me in disliking that company's products lol.

[@ThatWeirdCellist]

The basilisk probably feels the way it does because it probably is connected via Bluetooth, which will always have more latency than a wire or usb transmitter. Also the g502 X feels like a glorified version of the original g502 lightspeed, no real innovation and just a more flashy and cheap fealing build even though it is more expensive.

[@LeyzarGamingViews]

ofc it was never connected via bluetooth

[@ThatWeirdCellist]

@LeyzarGamingViews I guess you might have gotten a bugged mouse then (scroll wheel and weird feeling between wireless and wired). Even though I be hating on Razer products, that seems a little odd that they would advertise a feature that doesn't work properly. They always at least are very accurate about what you get. The only reason I dislike them is just where they allocate their resources in development.

[@apocalic]

The basilisk is the 502 clone. LOL😂 talking about innovation 😂

[@mysticqro950]

That’s weird. I own both of these mice.. and my Logitech had a more noticeable latency than the basilisk. With the usb… sometimes it would work flawlessly, randomly you would notice the slight delay in fps games. In my opinion, the Basilisk has a better sensor. I don’t know, maybe I got a bugged mouse and got unlucky. I just don’t see the hype for the Logitech mouse.

[@ecash00]

A mouse with FIRMWARE??? LMAO.

[@LeyzarGamingViews]

all modern mice have firmware for about two decades now.

[@ecash00]

@@LeyzarGamingViews Since Iv been around since the First mice, There really isnt Much reason for Internal programming excepot to add a failure point. Its like printers, the only reasons they have firmware is Corp copyprotection. No real reason for it.

[@RokuX51]

@@ecash00 nah, firmware updates are helpful. Have had a few issues on wireless mice and keyboards in the past that were resolved or improved via firmware updates.

[@ecash00]

FIRMWARE is for Hardware control. This is like your watch. Then there are control programs that are Software, That your comp[uter Runs to figure out WHAT to do when you Program your mouse to do things. Or change the configurations.. FIRMWARE is sent internally to a device, its not part of the computer software to run it.

[@tomaszkulig97]

Every USB device has it's own firmware, they're not analog devices and do need to be programmed. The only difference between cheap and expensive ones is that you can control it in the later ones. As for printers we also don't use analog LPT ports anymore but rather connect them to WiFi or USB.

[@supertrix6628]

get rid of those get the G604 new version is way better has more buttons and its easier to use the 502 versions suck in compare to the latest g604 and the 604 is usually half the price of the junk 502 over hyped garbage that it is. get the g604 and be done with all those expensive over hyped bad mouses and get one with better over all usege and features and works way better

It was a great mouse and I to searched for a replacement, found a pink one for 30 euro.

[@LizAusDemLurk]

I'm still searching🙈That's why i found your video haha and found it funny cause i watch your warframe content too! :D I want to gift myself the Logitech Aurora Keyboard, that's why i'm debating to get the Razer Basilisk (for the aesthetic TuT) it's easier for me to keep it all white, so i can just switch my RGB later for the right mood.
