If you set mouse precision to 1 on Windows, you can set the DPI to 25,600 on the mouse, for an effective DPI of 1600. This gives you the same 360º distance as a flat 1600 with Windows mouse precision at 6, while taking advantage of the maximum resolution your mouse allows. That's what people using those high DPI settings are actually doing.
@@TheRageAcademy The only issue you'll find is that plenty of games, especially old ones or consoles ports, don't support DPIs above 2000 or so. But if you play modern, properly designed games, it's a pleasure to play at the maximum resolution your mouse is capable of delivering.
I love the fact that you pointed out you don’t like to watch or read up on any other reviews before making the video so we can get the most genuine honest review from you personally. You just earned another loyal sub!
Thanks man 🙏 I’m happy you appreciate it! I promise I’ll always provide my unbiased opinion on gaming peripherals. You’d be surprised the amount of brands that reach out and try to control what you say
When turning on bluetooth pairing mode by pressing mouse 4&5 button and the scroll wheel, the manual says that the scroll wheel and the razer logo both light up, but in my mouse only the razer logo lights up. Is it tge case with you as well?
I have just only got the mouse 2 weeks ago and it is my first gaming mouse and it changed my way of gaming forever at first when I try change the dpi ( which is 2000 btw) at first I struggle to handle the sensitivity but after a while it became second nature to me and It made me even more better at shooting games. I also like the wheel , I usually use the wheel as a quick slider and help me to pick the gun I wanted very quickly and i can have a little fun while waiting at a lobby or something. overall best mouse I ever used.
@@waggy7081 it’s still holding up! I think it still has the most advanced mouse wheel on the market, however, as I’ve shifted towards reviewing lighter gaming mice my hands have become accustomed to mice around 65ish g. So it’s a tad heavier to me now than it was then. Razer synapse is absolute cancer. I’d pick being tied to a chair and being beaten with a brick before installing it again 🤮
For the razer software part you can use multiple devices for there uh synaps software its nice when you have multiple devices but for just a mouse, bro made me think about it why you need a software for a mouse but yea its nice either way :)
Be able to customize is nice, I just wish they did it in a better way. At this point, many months after this review. I’ve had synapse repeatedly update my mouse while I’m gaming even though I have auto-updates off…. I talk a bit about that in the Deathadder video. I really hope the market moves to a webUI with onboard memory being the standard soon
Just got this mouse and it is perfect but only drawback is that the sniper button hits my thumb sometimes and gets annoying. Hopefully I'll get used to it
your production value is off the charts for the amount of subs, bravo man. I love the inside look of the scroll wheel while your gushing about how good it feels. That I can actually see it and visualize the wheel is super cool.
Too bad you didn't showed the RGB lighting in the dark. I really wanna see if it the same like wired Basilisk V3 or it's different as that's one of the key factors in my opinion before buying. Also, that sound is so crisp. I also have the SM7B but can't get that type of sound. What mixer/extra equipment do you use for your audio and can you maybe send me your audio profile settings file on my email if possible? Would be appreciated a lot!
Thanks! I'm just running the SM7B through a Cloudlifter into a GoXLR. In Adobe Premiere, I'm adding a Denoise at 15%, a parametric EQ (this has a bump around 100hz, scoop around 1khz and bump around 4-8k hz), and hard limiter set at -6db. Hope this help! I may make a video on how to eq mics soon. I few people have asked for it. Are you looking to tune your mic for post production or for live streaming?
@@TheRageAcademy both actually! for livestreaming games and for making videos! Can you send me your GOXLR file with tuning? We have the same setup, I also have Shure with GOXLR and Cloudlifter and cant get that kind of quality...I might be doing something wrong
@@tijankusacic8079 Sure thing man. Hit me up on my discord, I'll send you screenshots of my GoXLR tune. I will say though, in GoXLR I run it pretty flat and mostly work with my sound in post. If you use OBS, I have a pinned tutorial in my "homeroom" section showing how to setup a parametric EQ. It's pretty straight forward and the EQ is what I use for most male voices I record
I agree completely. I've been spoiled by this mouse and I don't think I ever want to use a one that doesn't have a smart scroll. It's a delight to use this for pretty much anything that requires the wheel.
@@ruwas369 The mouse wheel does but it's of course expected since it has 3 buttons on it (middle, left, right). And even then it's unnoticeable because it doesn't when it's moving against the table.
Yeah, like I said in the video, if you can get by the weight. Although, I think there's this stigma in the PC gaming community which is lighter = better mouse, which isn't always the case. If Razer could shave maybe 30g off, this mouse would be in a top contender spot for me
@@AlexusLive Sames. Back in the 2010’s heavier mice were considered awesome. That’s why they all used to come with weights you could add to the mouse. The new fad is mice being super duper lightweight at the cost of innovative features
@@AlexusLive yeah for sure and your wrist will thanks you in later ! at least basilisk is a few ergo for not flat wrist... i mean what block logitech to do their super mouse with horizontal whell in carbon fiber shell and divide the weight at max ?
@@AlexusLive yeah yeah and you are at 2000 dpi.... Because when you must use low dpi (800dpi) for gaming (valorant) the brick you must move hurt the hand...
lol i never understand the hype with lighter mice… it actually makes my aiming worse. I need to have some grip and sturdiness. This mouse is perfect for me.
razer mamba wireless 5g.. best.. my wife toked and now i look for new mouse for me.. i wish they got new mamba with aim button and left right button on wheel.. was watching mad cats dws mouse or this basilisk v3 pro.. or just get another old mamba
I personally love the mouse wheel on the Basilisk V3 pro. The Mamba and the Basilisk are such different shapes though. I’d say shop around until you find something you like that fits well in your hands and stick with that
@TheRageAcademy i Just ordered a basilisk v3 cable one. If I will be happy I will get wireless. I hope they add aluminum premium, so I get all-around components
That sucks man. Can't say I've had the same problem and I heavy hand my mouse like a son of gun. At least Razer lets you send in the mouse for repair though vs. companies like steel series who just have you destroy your mouse to get a new one. (I'm super against destroying the mouse since it adds to tech waste)
@@jumpman120 The superlight is awesome. A tad overpriced imo but a great light reliable mouse. Have you considered the Lamzu Atlantis v2? Its lighter than the ultralight and cheaper. almost always out of stock though
I have a question, does this have integrated profiles? I mean, can I store dpi and polling rate in the integrated memories if I change computers, does this hold? Or do I have to always use it with the software?
That’s a really good question. Razer claims it should work without Synapse running. I’ll test it when I get home from work today and let you know the results. (Less software running the better imo)
@@pedrojoseavilamoreno7358 As far as I can tell, it needs to software to operate with the on board memory :( You have to run Razer Synapse for it to operate. So it's more like on-board software than memory Hope this helps, buddy!
@@TheRageAcademy Main problem=after about 7 months, the rubber on the scroll wheel stretched a lot, and now it slips when trying to scroll and I can't find a new scroll wheel on the Internet to buy and replace / there is no charge indication on the mouse, I had to buy a docking station to display the level charge / sometimes the software freezes (rarely, maybe 2-4 times a week) for 5 seconds the mouse does not work and this led to defeat in online games /mouse have very poor energy efficiency / It is also indicated on the docking station that the mouse can work at the polling frequency 4KHz (I carried out many tests, it gives an average of 1500, usually from 1300 to 1700, sometimes it drops to 900+ or rises to 2200-. The maximum number that was caught was 2303. The response was on average 0.8ms. The maximum that was caught was 0.6ms
That’s lame about the scroll wheel. I think a lot of these manufacturers should be providing after market parts to purchase for user repair. The software is absolute dog shit. I’ve disabled auto-updates multiple times and they always reenable. So the mouse will stop working when it decides to update. Usually I end up using it without software. It sucks it doesn’t have on-board memory though for custom profiles. I haven’t experienced the battery issues though. Mine is just about a year old and still going strong. It displays the battery percentage in the software for me too. I really like the shape, feel and the uniform scroll wheel on the mouse. I wish it was a bit lighter and had writable memory but it what it is Did you end up getting a different mouse?
@@TheRageAcademy on my old Cougar 700m the elastic on the scroll wheel stretched after almost 6 years... On the new Basilisk V3 Pro it stretched in just 6 months... Regarding the autonomy of Balisilk = at a polling frequency of 2000 MHz it is not enough for 12 hours (my working day 12 hours 2/2 days) - so I had to set it to 500 MHz (for 12 hours at 500 MHz - it eats up from about 100% to 30-35%% charge).. No, I didn’t buy a new mouse, in my country salaries are small (in on average about $500 per month), I get a little more, but I can’t change branded mice so often, so I’ll try to cut the rubber on the scroll wheel, cut off the excess and glue it back with superglue. I ordered professional glue from the online store and am waiting for delivery. I tried to find a spare scroll wheel on Chinese sites, but it is only available for older Razer models...regarding ergonomics = I would like a larger size and a little heavier + it would be desirable if there were wings for the fingers on both sides like on the old Razer Ouroboros.. Initially I wanted to buy an asus spatha, but in its patterns on the left wing dirt collects a lot and is difficult get it out of there..+ I have 2 stray cats and a dog at home, a lot of hair, I was afraid that their hair might get between the side buttons, there are a lot of gaps, that’s why I bought a basilisk... Once upon a time I had a Razer Lachesis 5600 and it served for almost 4 years, I hoped that the basilisk would work the same and not fall apart for at least 5 years...I bought it in the official online store razer on March 17, 2023 as a gift to myself for my birthday, which is on March 18th (white version) mouse v3 pro + dock pro station + delivery cost me about $285
