Been looking for a new mouse due to mine having an issue with the scroll. Came across the hyperspeed and looked up a review, which brought me to you. You made the video short, concise, and very informative. It was great quality and you give me all the information I was looking for.
I also find it very light. Just got one after asking my parents for one for christmas as I couldn't justify the price. Only held if for a fe mins and no gaming yet as still using my wired but it feels SUUUPER light in comparison
@@MattDxstined dude exactly you just proved my point. There is no reason to use a rechargeable battery over a regular one if your main reason is not wanting to have to switch out batteries.
With a 7 gram lithium AAA battery and a blob of tin foil, it will come in at 90g, making it the lightest wireless mouse with a MX5XX-esque thumb groove and overall G502-like shape. ...Behind the Roccat Kone Pro Air, which is 75 grams, but that mouse is more than double the price and deviates more from the G502's shape.
Nice review, actually grabbed this a few days ago for work. Very comfortable, still would stick with the deathadder for gaming which I keep for my desktop. Like the versatility of the basilisk however.
Nice! I agree, the Basilisk seems like an awesome all-around mouse. But the weight would keep me from using it as my main everyday mouse for gaming. I'll keep using the Viper Ultimate for gaming.
have to agree with consensus that this review was good and concise. really tired of all those egotistical video people who make hour long video reviews and only talk a little about the actual product
Excellent and well presented video. I am just about to order this from amazon and was looking for a good review. Thank you and keep up with the good content!
I've never used wireless gaming gear like mice, keyboard or headphones but this is my first one. I've never been a fan of razer since it always feels cheap/plastic but I got the mice for 40 bucks. So really looking forward to try it. I like the "hidden" usb inside the mouse if you want to travel around with a laptop aswell.
Stoooppp! Your killing me! I just bought the Roccat burst pro because of your review two weeks ago! Best fastest lightest mouse I've ever used so thank you for that, but you are costing me money. Seriously though great reviews
haha... the Burst Pro is amazing, so good choice there! The only thing that holds me back from the Burst Pro is the wire - I much prefer wireless. The Basilisk is pretty awesome for the price, but the weight is a big difference from a mouse like the Burst Pro.
I bought a Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed mouse about 2 weeks ago that had defective switches. The switches were not "clicky" at all and the right mouse button would trigger almost by breathing on it. I took the mouse back to Best Buy and traded it for another one that has better, but still not great, switches. Overall, I love the mouse, from the size to the weight, to the shape of it. I just wish Razer had seen fit to equip it with a better grade of switch that had more "clicky" feel.
Really nice looking mouse. No RGB. I don't use the scroll wheel so whatever. Not rechargeable. The right click on mine has stopped holding down-I need to blow into the right click to get it to work right. The left and right click both wiggle and make the mouse rattle. Lift some weights if you need a light mouse. Also save your money. All the wireless mice right now seem to have some issues. I'm still using this mouse because I've basically heard the same bad things about every other mouse as this one.
Lightweight AAA battery + a pinch of aluminum foil = ~93g gaming mouse. I, however, modded it to accept a 2nd AA and added fishing weights. I like a heavy mouse.
I am late to the game but I just bought it few days ago and wow just in love with that mous. I have had a few other mouses over the years but really loving this one definitely approved of this one.
@@tanzify2749 yes, a little bit on the heavy side but has a great battery life and is very cheap if you buy the refurbished version on Amazon. I highly recommend it!
aaa Enegiser lithium with an adapter or a cut-off adapter end is a great way to keep the weight down. I do this for my Logitech g305 and it drops the weight off the back of the mouse quite considerably. Takes about 14 grams off the weight compared to using an Energiser max aa battery. Very noticeable and the battery lasts for months with a few hours usage every day.
Thanks for the review but can you please tell me will this work on latest macbook pro m1? Can you change dpi without synapse software as it's not available for macos isn't it? Btw subscribed.. Such good points but you should have talked about synapse for someone who isn't familiar with it it would have been useful.
This isnt really your fault but you forgot to mention the quality control issues that razer has, I've heard other reviewers say they've had more than one of those mice and they all felt different, and some of them broke months before others did. Otherwise great review though and I'll say I thought you had more subscribers than you did when I first watched because the video is just that good lol
@Mohammed Jamali theres some things missing from it like rgb if u like that and like theres no mouse feet on the right side so it feels incomplete and its heavy but its a really nice mouse i personally love it its really comfortable
Just got this one for only $25 so it's really bang for the buck. I only using this for work though so I can switch between my android tablet and laptop easily.
i love everything about this mouse but it's weight. way way too light. i use it for design work and have to clutch it & drag my pinky for traction, cramping my hand. on that note, pushing the closer side button on this super-light mouse messes with the position in my hand. i used to use the rat9 with the full stack of weights and that was perfect. this was half the price though. great review; wish i had seen it first.
I just ordered one of these and had a brainfart when this video mentioned that the battery can't be charged .... 'Wait what, I need to buy Alkanines?' Derp, nope, I just carry on charging my enerloops in their charger as I normally do lol.
honestly if it wasn't for using batteries instead of just having it charge via cord. It probably will make it a bit more expensive but it will be worth it
I mean, it lasts for long you know, and batteries dont cost so much, it would be expensive charging it, i mean the electricity usage, and it wouldn't last that long if u had to charge, cause yea, its a mouse, actually depends on batteries you use :)
I read somewhere that this mouse has a problem with the switches used for the buttons and they usually start acting up within 6-12 months. Did you face this issue ?
actually it's like 14g lighter when you have the weights out of the G502 hero when you have the battery in it. I do have a G502 Hero but I've been considering experimenting with Razer mice
I hate light mice. My g602 has over 150gr and I used to have a 200gr mouse before, that had to be added weights and I'm not a big guy ... so it depends on taste. I find light mice to be not as precise.
idk i tried getting used to this mouse for a few months but i honestly hate mice with thumbrests that interfere with fingertip grip for me and the factory mouseclicks that come with it suck
60 USD :-D In my country 83 :-D It's really ridiculous that we have to pay more for everything and we have 1/3 of US salary. BTW what about input lag? That's the most imporant thing on wireless mouse and nobody speaks about that, really strange. I wasted many money for different wireless mouses and it always had terrible input lag so I always switched back to wire. Is this Razer ok? Can you feel some delay?
There are disconnection issues on pc, it disconnects for 2 seconds (the mouse doesn't work in those moments, you're completely out of the game) and then reconnects. It happens every 15 mins (tested on pc and 2 notebooks). The fun fact is that it works perfectly fine on xbox series x (played 2 hours without a single disconnection).
@Chad Meckstroth The disconnection issues are real, there are literally everywhere people with the same problem. Sadly you're the lucky one, this mouse randomly disconnects and it's a shame, because it could be an excellent mouse for its price (i think it feels better than 502 for me).
i have one... and all is great except ...... i have to disable button 4 (side rear button) in warzone ... i did have there a weapon switch (with previous mouse) but with this mouse i have a lot unwanted triggering of this button in important situations .... so this button is useless in real situations ..
Based on what I heard from other reviews, I'm pretty sure that the mouse does go to sleep between a span of like 5-30 minutes of no usage depending on the setting you put in synapse. Don't quote me on that though, I don't own the mouse myself and I could just be wrong

Idk why people hate on this thing, it's great
People have connectivity issues and mine/other people's right click has stopped working properly. Not rechargeable.
It's a copy of the Logitech g502 hero.
But it's great. 😄
@@MattDxstined ... its uh... its not a rechargeable mouse
@@MattDxstined ok but that still completely defeats the purpose of having a mouse that doesn't need to have the battery taken out.
@@MattDxstined dude exactly you just proved my point. There is no reason to use a rechargeable battery over a regular one if your main reason is not wanting to have to switch out batteries.

Is there any performance difference between 2.4g and bluetooth aside from battery?
hi, i think it is like that if you want to switch from PC to laptop. PC is dongle and laptop can be via bluetooth connection

Encountered a double-click LMB issue after a couple of months. Kinda disappointed with it.
I read somewhere that this mouse has a problem with the switches used for the buttons and they usually start acting up within 6-12 months. Did you face this issue ?
no i got it when it came out and still works perfect.
I love stuff like this to be a bit heavier, they feel much better quality to me
This thing is x2 lighter than the G502 for anyone worrying about weight
actually it's like 14g lighter when you have the weights out of the G502 hero when you have the battery in it. I do have a G502 Hero but I've been considering experimenting with Razer mice
gonna grab one during a sale.
100 grams is just light enough for wireless mice.
glad this one is still made in Taiwan !
253 views u deserve 100k
Lol am I the only one who prefers heavier mice?
ah my first gaming mouse that I still have
Still works
How can I charge the batteries without buying a new one
The click sounds so loud, is it really that loud or you just raise the audio gain?

Does the mouse get worse performance when the battery is low on power?

Is it good?
I have this and I don't understand the point as to why mouse button 5 doesn't click and doesn't get recognised as a button in any program
Do the main button have that soft feel or are they just hard plastic?
idk i tried getting used to this mouse for a few months but i honestly hate mice with thumbrests that interfere with fingertip grip for me and the factory mouseclicks that come with it suck
is it good for big hand?

If you live in EU, check it out on amazon de. €46 (≈$55) and free delivery thats a pretty decent deal.
Where is the sixth button?
how is it in 2022? is there any white variant available?
Thanks for letting me know the difference in weight. I’ll definitely try to shave off a little more grams with lithium batteries
