I use this mouse for creating graphics and illustrations at work and it's absolutely phenomenal. I've never encountered a mouse that felt so natural to use. But there's only one reason I bought this mouse for and that's to ensure I never get double clicks again. This is the only mouse on the market with optical switches that never suffer from d-clicks and have a 4x greater lifespan compared to traditional micro switches. My 13 year old Razer Lachesis is still going strong but this is whole different ball game. If you're serious about productive or getting an edge in your games, get this mouse. Screw spinning wheels and flimsy micro switches.
@@akira8-customkeyboards17 I wonder why razer give only 2 year warranty for the mouse compared to logitech 3 years then. Specially considering it cost double of a wireless g502 and almost quadruple of the wired version. Weird huh?
Here's a tip for the sniper button/paddle: bind it to middle mouse click! It's much more ergonomic to use the button on the side for scrolling through webpages. Additionally, you can set it to push to mute discord and push to talk in-game!

Just bought the V2, I too have over looked it, still using my Naga since I play MMO's and realized I don't use all the buttons just need 3 total TBO.

Lighter isn't necessarily better, if the object has no presence or mass, then aiming accurately becomes hard, because of a lack of feedback in weight. Lighter weight means faster movement speed of the mouse, but it also means over-aiming, that stopping the movement in time for good shots is also harder. I actually prefer heavier mice, the basilisk ultimate ironically isn't heavy enough for me, lol. :P When it comes to gaming, lighter isn't necessarily better, neither is heavier, the weight needs to be at the precise sweet-spot for optimal performance...

Yea i know but the thing is that i absolutely loveee the razer viper but like the problem is the shape cause my hand is so foc**ng big and im scared to be disappointed from the shape u know?
I'm currently using a G502 and I only had it for two months and I'm having double-click issues with it. Apparently people have been having that issue with certain G series mice so I'm glad it's not just me. Great mouse and all but honestly, since I have a Overwatch edition Razer keyboard, I might switch over to this and try it out.
lol i had double click issues on razer death adder1, then moved to the g502 lightspeed, i had issues of the left click plunging and stucking i broke it trying to pull it outside, so now i will go back to razer with the basilisk x
Holy shit, This review is amazing, Especially thank you for clicking the middle mouse button quickly, I'm using the razer viper ultimate right now, and the middle mouse button feels extremely slow and inconsistent to click, so you showing you can click it quickly really helped me.
I just got this mouse today instead of the viper and G pro. It feels amazing to my hand! It’s light and god so precise! My gaming skills improved right away!
@@SouthernCannibal the mouse has been great man! The battery life is super long, I’ve gotten a few software updates and made the mouse feel a bit smoother. It fits my hand like a glove and I used to get pain on my hand during long gaming sessions... That problem has been solved. I got it for 89 dollars because Amazon was running a sale at the time. Check everywhere! They always have it on sale.
@@musclehead1992 Compared to a G502 or similar Logitech ones, how does the wheel click feels?. Stiff?. Like you cannot spam the hell outta it?. No issues with the clicks not being registered? Also, can you just save a single DPI "step" and hopefully RGB in the mouse's memory and uninstall Synapse and live without the app itself?
@@DVTHEFOX honestly I have not tried the g502 before but, I did tried it in the Best Buy store and it was heavier than the razer. I have not experienced any issues what so ever with clicks not being register. On the contrary its an amazing mouse to use. I use it to play COD & overwatch and honestly my skills did improve tremendously. The dpi can be programmed on memory I believe and it has a DPI button I hit to switch between my saved settings but I always keep it around 1k-1200. I have synapse on my laptop because I also have the wireless black shark as well as the razer wireless keyboard. I wouldn't know if uninstalling it would prevent me from switching between my DPI settings.
You must be joking about battery life. My Basilisk ultimate can't last two days without a charge. My G502 Lightspeed has 5-10x the battery life. But the biggest issue for me is the Basilisk always takes a second or two to wake up if it has gone to sleep but the G502 is instant wake. Unfortunately, my G502 is suffering from the logitech double-click issue so I will put up with the Razor's shortcomings for now.
I love his channel, he's one of the most down to earth tech channels that exists. You've inspired me to build my own PC (that I have yet to even save up for) and will always look forward to your videos. Keep doin what you're doin man.
I got the X Hyperspeed a couple of days ago. Feels very nice for gaming A little too heavy for me but I adjusted to that quite quickly. The only thing I'm missing is just a little bit of RGB or lighting. I always think that the mouse is turned of when I look to my right side😂😂
For anyone interested in the basilisk and you don't have the money for it. Get the basilisk hyperspeed x. It's the same mouse but with a battery (and minus other things you won't notice). Edit: no white feet (they are standard), older sensor (which you won't notice), older m1 and m2 (which you won't notice) and no sniper button.
Hyperscroll is the best thing I have ever seen in a mouse. It really helps when you are surfing in the internet and playing games. I think g502 better.
Is there a mouse today that is so big that it lifts my entire hand off the pad? Like the MX 1000 laser or the MX 518 in the past, I'm really desperate to find one.
Razer synapse is the reason I have stuck with Logitech for years. Aint falling for that trap again. I still have ptsd from that software. Good on them for trying to stay competitive. Imitation is the best form of flattery...i guess.
had that issue with the G305...got a new one...same issue but click STUCK=destroyed gear in mmo/arpgs by accident moving it around stash/inventory bc it was STUCK...same to looting in tarkov...gear/weapons/loot stuck on my cursor SMDH. Gets a 3rd one bc i loved g-hub and didnt want to adapt to a new mouse...scroll wheel moves on its own...SMDH the QC issues NEVER got resolved with the G305...since 2019...ive had one every year...so now im going with a more premium/basilisk ultimate. No more AA batteries...and optical switches. The G604/hero EATS AA batteries like 1 a month...compared to the G305 sensor which is 3m+ per battery. Granted the G604 is always on sale...even 50$ currently...the feet dont last 6m on a hard pad....and the rubber grip is now peeling off bc its my laptop/daily driver mouse...so even the "HERO" would be premium logitech mice....fall apart like nothing. IDK how the shroud or G-PRO X hold up....but for 100$+ not worth my time if they will have the same issues experienced with other logitech mice. For 68$ for the basilisk or 60$ for the viper ultmate both with charging docks...its hard to beat that value aspect or look at 100+$ mice.
@@anhiirr Yep. I had two G502 Heroes that both started double clicking within 2 months of purchase. Logitech support made me do all kinds of crap to prove to them it was malfunctioning to get a replacement. Which is funny because they must know how bad the problem is by now. I have an MX Master and a M705 that are iconic mice that have operated flawlessly for years. Not sure what Logitech did to screw up the G series mice. Anyway, I also finally went with the Razer Basilisk Ultimate. So far, I love it.
@@wdpepler yeah idk i had a G700S that lasted me what felt like forever as a daily driver had 5 re-chargables in rotation etc...and figured the G604 was a "worthy" replacement that took AA batteries so id never have to re-charge....that thing ate batteries for breakfast...and MSRP at 100$ and its barely worth 50$ in itself.
@@anhiirr Yeah I like the Logitech M705 as a simple no frills mouse. It uses about 4 AA batteries a year. Don't think I will buy another G series mouse though.
@@wdpepler you like it because everyone else likes it. It’s the same shit with Samsung phones vs Apple phones; how most people talking about and vote for Samsung phones vs Apple phones. That’s really all I see.
Damn, I forgot about the Chroma version of that one, sad it only does Synapse 2. I have the original Naga Epic (also Synapse 2) and I've been considering the Naga Trinity since I found a working yellow-switch Blackwidow Chroma V2 at a thrift shop for $5.99 and that runs Synapse 3. That way only one system runs Synapse 2 and the other three need only Synapse 3 and not both. Never pay MSRP, btw. ;)
Missing the G7 and G8 buttons from the 502 would kill it for me, honestly. I guess you could program them in using hypershift but then you lose the paddle as an actual button as well.
In my opinion, lightweight vs heavy really depends on the game. In games with heavy tracking, a heavy mouse is better, but in a game where you need constant quick flicks a light is better.
Mouse weight is so placebo when you take into account the amount of customization you can have with in game sense vs dpi paired with now functional swing graphs. Once you get any comfortable mouse dialed into comfortable settings you'll find it feels exactly the same as far as sensitivity goes. You can make a heavy mouse feel light or a light mouse feel heavy. That's why I've always loved larger, well built mice. I swear people just go off of in game sensitivity settings only and never mess with any of the other features.
I'll never understand the weight issue with mice and it "HAVING" to be as light as possible. With mouse sensitivity mixed with dpi and now swing graph implementation you can make any mouse feel as light/heavy as you like.... Just 1 good session of gaming after dialed into your preferred settings you'll find that weight doesn't matter whatsoever, especially if you're a low sensitivity user such as myself.
@@NotGoodAtTH-cam its not worse its 60 bucks vs 170 didnt you hear that part. youre telling me i have to pay almost 3 times as much for only 25% performance
@@epichunter115 are you blind? Basilisk ultimate is a wireless mouse g502 is a wired mouse g502 lightspeed is $140+ which is the wireless version of the g502 you can get the basilisk v2 which is wired and it's like $80. Take in the fact that the g502 has been out for almost 6 years You're basically comparing a wireless mouse's price to a wired mouse's price
My Logitech broke on me after a few years of usage. It was a good brand. I just recently bought the Razer Basilisk Ultimate and am in love with it. Is it pricy? Yes. Worth every penny. I love how customizable it is. If you're not a gamer, don't buy it. Plenty of other cheap mice can be bought for pointing and clicking.
I bought the mouse for 50€, a bout a year ago and I dont really know why people are so angry about it. It works. The Razer app is easy to use, annoying but works. It always worked and had some liquids ligthly poured over it, but it survived only the thumb buttons are a bit sticky, already tried cleaning them with Isopropanol, sadly still a bit sticky but they work, thats the important point. Still dont know why people are making a fight out of it like its any phone against Apple, its just a mouse.
To be fair though the original Razer Basilisk came out around the same time as the G502 (I think), and both that and the original Razer Mamba got upgraded and re-marketed
My five extra buttons on the left side of my G502 is vital for me during FPS games. Can't imagine replacing those with keyboard options. The basilisk looks beautiful though.
$120 better? 4 times the price better? idk dude. (might be) better choice compared to the lightspeed variant, but not the non lightspeed. for me atleast, i dont like dealing with the cons that comes with wireless mice.
Thế Anh Nguyễn Ok first of all that logic doesn’t apply for Razer products anymore. Over the last year they have massive stepped up the quality of their products and the durability. Razer still has the stigma of having crappy “gamery” products. Second of all you can’t just hate on a company for previously having lower quality products. Sure you can like the G502 better that’s your opinion but don’t just actively tell others that their competition is crap.
naise haaton I just use wired mice. I’m not a super competitive gamer or anything. I just like the responsiveness of the high end “gamer” products. I rock the Deathadder Elite but just recently ordered the Deathadder v2. I just use a mouse bungee and I’m fine.
I wish you would talk about the negatives of products. You never talk about how many people have problems with Razer mice double clicking and the grips peeling off over time.
Long time g502 user here who tried the basilisk and had super high hopes. I do want to point out a HUGE difference between the 2 that reviews don't seem to cover. The mouse buttons "wrap" down the sides of the mouse. This limits how you can actually move and control the mouse while engaging the side buttons. Your finger will interfere with the main button clicking if you do any kind of press and hold macros with your side buttons. The g502 main buttons do not wrap down the sides, so your other fingers can never interfere with left/right click. I ultimately went back to Logitech and picked up the g502 LS because of this. Aside from this, it is a fantastic mouse in EVERY other regard, but after 2 weeks of trying, I still could not become accustomed to the new grip i had to assume. YMMV
I personally didn't like it when I got the chance. Got the mamba elite. Feels very similar to a g403, scroll wheel steps are much more pronounced, and I swear it glides better.
Razer sells a lot more mice than Logitech so there's more stories of their products breaking, so there's more horror stories online regarding their stuff compared to Logitech
@@not920 You don't need to be a Razer employee to look up market numbers. Razer is the global leader in PC Gaming Peripherals with 12.83% of market share. Logitech follows behind them, though they don't give a market share percentage.
I made the switch from the G502 to the Basilisk Ultimate v3 after four G502's died on me. The Basilisk lasted about a year before it started double clicking with the middle click. Rather than rebuy one, I went with the Glorious Model D, and I've since moved on to the G Pro X Superlight. The Glorious Model I is a similar shape to the Basilisk, so when they release a wireless version of that I'll probably pick it up. Right now the Model I2 Wireless is slated for a 2023 q4 release, so maybe I'll grab one then.

PHANTOM the deathadder is ergonomic but do whatever shap suits you
Yea i know but the thing is that i absolutely loveee the razer viper but like the problem is the shape cause my hand is so foc**ng big and im scared to be disappointed from the shape u know?
I have the razer deathadder elite and can’t decide between the basilisk ultimate and the viper ultimate
I'm currently using a G502 and I only had it for two months and I'm having double-click issues with it. Apparently people have been having that issue with certain G series mice so I'm glad it's not just me. Great mouse and all but honestly, since I have a Overwatch edition Razer keyboard, I might switch over to this and try it out.
lol i had double click issues on razer death adder1, then moved to the g502 lightspeed, i had issues of the left click plunging and stucking i broke it trying to pull it outside, so now i will go back to razer with the basilisk x
Holy shit, This review is amazing, Especially thank you for clicking the middle mouse button quickly, I'm using the razer viper ultimate right now, and the middle mouse button feels extremely slow and inconsistent to click, so you showing you can click it quickly really helped me.
I just got this mouse today instead of the viper and G pro. It feels amazing to my hand! It’s light and god so precise! My gaming skills improved right away!
How's it been so far? considering getting it!
@@SouthernCannibal the mouse has been great man! The battery life is super long, I’ve gotten a few software updates and made the mouse feel a bit smoother. It fits my hand like a glove and I used to get pain on my hand during long gaming sessions... That problem has been solved. I got it for 89 dollars because Amazon was running a sale at the time. Check everywhere! They always have it on sale.
@@musclehead1992 Compared to a G502 or similar Logitech ones, how does the wheel click feels?. Stiff?. Like you cannot spam the hell outta it?. No issues with the clicks not being registered?
Also, can you just save a single DPI "step" and hopefully RGB in the mouse's memory and uninstall Synapse and live without the app itself?
@@DVTHEFOX honestly I have not tried the g502 before but, I did tried it in the Best Buy store and it was heavier than the razer.
I have not experienced any issues what so ever with clicks not being register. On the contrary its an amazing mouse to use. I use it to play COD & overwatch and honestly my skills did improve tremendously. The dpi can be programmed on memory I believe and it has a DPI button I hit to switch between my saved settings but I always keep it around 1k-1200.
I have synapse on my laptop because I also have the wireless black shark as well as the razer wireless keyboard. I wouldn't know if uninstalling it would prevent me from switching between my DPI settings.
You must be joking about battery life. My Basilisk ultimate can't last two days without a charge. My G502 Lightspeed has 5-10x the battery life. But the biggest issue for me is the Basilisk always takes a second or two to wake up if it has gone to sleep but the G502 is instant wake. Unfortunately, my G502 is suffering from the logitech double-click issue so I will put up with the Razor's shortcomings for now.
Girl: so what do you do for a living?

Lol it’s the best part of the video tho
I love his channel, he's one of the most down to earth tech channels that exists. You've inspired me to build my own PC (that I have yet to even save up for) and will always look forward to your videos.

Razer Basilisk Ultimate: You're weak
Logitech G502: I am you
😂
Proud basilisk user here. Anyone else watching with a razer basilisk (or other models of basilisk)?
did anybody else get that asmr vibe when he was messing around with the scroll wheel
Yep it’s so smooth when u set it the lowest
This helped out alot man. Ive been looking at 3 to 4 different ones. This one seems to take the cake!
I got the X Hyperspeed a couple of days ago.
Feels very nice for gaming
A little too heavy for me but I adjusted to that quite quickly.
The only thing I'm missing is just a little bit of RGB or lighting. I always think that the mouse is turned of when I look to my right side😂😂
every good mouse vid has a asmr scene
When you tell your friend not to copy your homework exactly
and then get a better rating
Top Commentr xD
For anyone interested in the basilisk and you don't have the money for it. Get the basilisk hyperspeed x. It's the same mouse but with a battery (and minus other things you won't notice).
Edit: no white feet (they are standard), older sensor (which you won't notice), older m1 and m2 (which you won't notice) and no sniper button.
Never buying a Razer or Acer product again. No matter what people say.
Same. Even with my Razer keyboard, keys start to not work after a year of use. Acer generally has bad build quality but I never had Acer products.
When you think companies will never change lol
This is just fanboyism in reverse
Razer mice aren't terrible, the keyboards are hot garbage. Custom keebs are the way to go if you can swing it.
@Buster blackwidow lite is really good tho no cap- lock
The fact that in 2022 here in Finland even this mouse costs 168€ is giving me a headache

Me: I got a fat wallet :)))
Also me: they’re all one dollar bills :(((

RandomFrank: "-i was wrong about the razer baselisk!"
The video: "sponsored by razer"
Hyperscroll is the best thing I have ever seen in a mouse. It really helps when you are surfing in the internet and playing games. I think g502 better.
Made for slightly above medium sized hand, small thumb pad for minimal mouse friction, comes the Razer Basilisk V2. My favorite mice yet.
New custom keyboard vid!! xD
Soon
randomfrankp
Nice
I’m looking forward for it
Is there a mouse today that is so big that it lifts my entire hand off the pad? Like the MX 1000 laser or the MX 518 in the past, I'm really desperate to find one.
Razer synapse is the reason I have stuck with Logitech for years. Aint falling for that trap again. I still have ptsd from that software. Good on them for trying to stay competitive. Imitation is the best form of flattery...i guess.
I'd say Ghub makes Synapse look good.
How the mighty has fallen.
Finally you made a video of the Razer basilisk Ultimate. I have used it since it came out, and I love it.
I bought this mouse so I could do my homework and get my grades up accurately. Using it with 20,000 dpi and it's working fantastic.
"let me press buttons so you can hear all the good clicks" proceeds to click all my current mouse buttons and go back 50 tabs lol
Men you play good at bfv. I played good for some time, had a long break and now I am meh at it. Competitors learned how to play
the absence of 2 macro buttons to the left of index finger is a deal breaker
I'll never understand how the G502 shakes off the massive DOUBLE CLICK problem so easily.
had that issue with the G305...got a new one...same issue but click STUCK=destroyed gear in mmo/arpgs by accident moving it around stash/inventory bc it was STUCK...same to looting in tarkov...gear/weapons/loot stuck on my cursor SMDH. Gets a 3rd one bc i loved g-hub and didnt want to adapt to a new mouse...scroll wheel moves on its own...SMDH the QC issues NEVER got resolved with the G305...since 2019...ive had one every year...so now im going with a more premium/basilisk ultimate. No more AA batteries...and optical switches. The G604/hero EATS AA batteries like 1 a month...compared to the G305 sensor which is 3m+ per battery. Granted the G604 is always on sale...even 50$ currently...the feet dont last 6m on a hard pad....and the rubber grip is now peeling off bc its my laptop/daily driver mouse...so even the "HERO" would be premium logitech mice....fall apart like nothing. IDK how the shroud or G-PRO X hold up....but for 100$+ not worth my time if they will have the same issues experienced with other logitech mice. For 68$ for the basilisk or 60$ for the viper ultmate both with charging docks...its hard to beat that value aspect or look at 100+$ mice.
@@anhiirr Yep. I had two G502 Heroes that both started double clicking within 2 months of purchase. Logitech support made me do all kinds of crap to prove to them it was malfunctioning to get a replacement. Which is funny because they must know how bad the problem is by now. I have an MX Master and a M705 that are iconic mice that have operated flawlessly for years. Not sure what Logitech did to screw up the G series mice. Anyway, I also finally went with the Razer Basilisk Ultimate. So far, I love it.
@@wdpepler yeah idk i had a G700S that lasted me what felt like forever as a daily driver had 5 re-chargables in rotation etc...and figured the G604 was a "worthy" replacement that took AA batteries so id never have to re-charge....that thing ate batteries for breakfast...and MSRP at 100$ and its barely worth 50$ in itself.
@@anhiirr Yeah I like the Logitech M705 as a simple no frills mouse. It uses about 4 AA batteries a year. Don't think I will buy another G series mouse though.
@@wdpepler you like it because everyone else likes it. It’s the same shit with Samsung phones vs Apple phones; how most people talking about and vote for Samsung phones vs Apple phones. That’s really all I see.
Honestly it's just nice to have the scroll wheel that jogs side to side. I miss that in my G603.
"11 total buttons" **laughs in naga epic chroma**
they have 19 programmable buttons 😂😂
Damn, I forgot about the Chroma version of that one, sad it only does Synapse 2. I have the original Naga Epic (also Synapse 2) and I've been considering the Naga Trinity since I found a working yellow-switch Blackwidow Chroma V2 at a thrift shop for $5.99 and that runs Synapse 3. That way only one system runs Synapse 2 and the other three need only Synapse 3 and not both. Never pay MSRP, btw. ;)
@@DJSekuHusky
They just released a new version of the Naga by the way.
Missing the G7 and G8 buttons from the 502 would kill it for me, honestly. I guess you could program them in using hypershift but then you lose the paddle as an actual button as well.
This thing is fire 🔥
In my opinion, lightweight vs heavy really depends on the game. In games with heavy tracking, a heavy mouse is better, but in a game where you need constant quick flicks a light is better.
Mouse weight is so placebo when you take into account the amount of customization you can have with in game sense vs dpi paired with now functional swing graphs. Once you get any comfortable mouse dialed into comfortable settings you'll find it feels exactly the same as far as sensitivity goes. You can make a heavy mouse feel light or a light mouse feel heavy. That's why I've always loved larger, well built mice. I swear people just go off of in game sensitivity settings only and never mess with any of the other features.
There's still no good enough reason to give up my G305 as a daily driver...
Razer basilisk ultimate vs razer viper ultimate???
Jeez I was more focused on the video editing and camera motion
I'll never understand the weight issue with mice and it "HAVING" to be as light as possible. With mouse sensitivity mixed with dpi and now swing graph implementation you can make any mouse feel as light/heavy as you like.... Just 1 good session of gaming after dialed into your preferred settings you'll find that weight doesn't matter whatsoever, especially if you're a low sensitivity user such as myself.
This guy has more mice than my local pet shop
Been using this for about 4 and a half months and I agree completely. A bit expensive but definitely worth it. It is probably my favorite mouse ever!
which one?
Lmao, i thought it was a Logitech g502 in the miniature

@@epichunter115 are you blind?
Basilisk ultimate is a wireless mouse
g502 is a wired mouse
g502 lightspeed is $140+ which is the wireless version of the g502
you can get the basilisk v2 which is wired and it's like $80.
Take in the fact that the g502 has been out for almost 6 years
You're basically comparing a wireless mouse's price to a wired mouse's price
Randomfrankp thank you so much for all the set up ideas and giving me an idea of what to get for my gaming set up!
3:19 this is what you all came here for
My Logitech broke on me after a few years of usage. It was a good brand. I just recently bought the Razer Basilisk Ultimate and am in love with it. Is it pricy? Yes. Worth every penny. I love how customizable it is. If you're not a gamer, don't buy it. Plenty of other cheap mice can be bought for pointing and clicking.
I haven’t watched ur vids in awhile. Totally forgot how good they were!!!
As a lifetime Logitech user, I find it a bit weird to see how Razer Synapse won't let us to change the left click, unlike how LGS/G-Hub do.
Damn man, u can snipe 🌚
I bought the mouse for 50€, a bout a year ago and I dont really know why people are so angry about it.
It works. The Razer app is easy to use, annoying but works.
It always worked and had some liquids ligthly poured over it, but it survived only the thumb buttons are a bit sticky, already tried cleaning them with Isopropanol, sadly still a bit sticky but they work, thats the important point.
Still dont know why people are making a fight out of it like its any phone against Apple, its just a mouse.
This mouse makes me a god in destiny 2
To be fair though the original Razer Basilisk came out around the same time as the G502 (I think), and both that and the original Razer Mamba got upgraded and re-marketed
Man you really did sleep on this mouse it's a beast!
My five extra buttons on the left side of my G502 is vital for me during FPS games. Can't imagine replacing those with keyboard options. The basilisk looks beautiful though.
laughs with my G502 Hero.
Nah the Basilisk is better
$120 better? 4 times the price better?
idk dude.
(might be) better choice compared to the lightspeed variant, but not the non lightspeed. for me atleast, i dont like dealing with the cons that comes with wireless mice.
Thế Anh Nguyễn Ok first of all that logic doesn’t apply for Razer products anymore. Over the last year they have massive stepped up the quality of their products and the durability. Razer still has the stigma of having crappy “gamery” products. Second of all you can’t just hate on a company for previously having lower quality products. Sure you can like the G502 better that’s your opinion but don’t just actively tell others that their competition is crap.
naise haaton I just use wired mice. I’m not a super competitive gamer or anything. I just like the responsiveness of the high end “gamer” products. I rock the Deathadder Elite but just recently ordered the Deathadder v2. I just use a mouse bungee and I’m fine.
lmao samee
I wish you would talk about the negatives of products. You never talk about how many people have problems with Razer mice double clicking and the grips peeling off over time.
When you are watching this using your new G502
I felt that :(
Long time g502 user here who tried the basilisk and had super high hopes. I do want to point out a HUGE difference between the 2 that reviews don't seem to cover. The mouse buttons "wrap" down the sides of the mouse. This limits how you can actually move and control the mouse while engaging the side buttons. Your finger will interfere with the main button clicking if you do any kind of press and hold macros with your side buttons. The g502 main buttons do not wrap down the sides, so your other fingers can never interfere with left/right click. I ultimately went back to Logitech and picked up the g502 LS because of this.
Aside from this, it is a fantastic mouse in EVERY other regard, but after 2 weeks of trying, I still could not become accustomed to the new grip i had to assume. YMMV
Literately was supposed to have one delivered yesterday but the package either got stolen or is missing so fml
Could be late, my desk took 2 1/2 extra weeks to get here
1:07 just a 2080 ti sittin in the background.
Bro since when does Razer packaging come with built in RGB 😏
I personally didn't like it when I got the chance. Got the mamba elite. Feels very similar to a g403, scroll wheel steps are much more pronounced, and I swear it glides better.
Self snipe at 6:11
Thats a pretty creative transition
Ashwin what game was he playin
@@inanguyen4871 i think it was battlefield
I fr can watch randomfrankp snipe for hours
logitech well known for it high durability while razer known for it low durability. i dont know razer durability at current time.
Razer sells a lot more mice than Logitech so there's more stories of their products breaking, so there's more horror stories online regarding their stuff compared to Logitech
Used two razer mouses, both lasted 5+ years and still working. So dunno about durability.
@@not920 You don't need to be a Razer employee to look up market numbers. Razer is the global leader in PC Gaming Peripherals with 12.83% of market share. Logitech follows behind them, though they don't give a market share percentage.
I made the switch from the G502 to the Basilisk Ultimate v3 after four G502's died on me. The Basilisk lasted about a year before it started double clicking with the middle click. Rather than rebuy one, I went with the Glorious Model D, and I've since moved on to the G Pro X Superlight. The Glorious Model I is a similar shape to the Basilisk, so when they release a wireless version of that I'll probably pick it up. Right now the Model I2 Wireless is slated for a 2023 q4 release, so maybe I'll grab one then.
$170 DOL- *chokes on cereal*
Yeah, that's my reaction. I got my g502 lightspeed for 100 bucks. I also prefer having the extra macros available. Imo this razer mouse isnt worth it
Bruh my g502 was 50 bucks
@@willos7081 I bought the lightspeed one. That one is not. I also have the g502 spectrum got that one for 40 euros on a sale when the hero came out.
