The Razer Basilisk's thumb clutch and unconventional shape are winners, but is it really a better FPS mouse than the DeathAdder Probably not.

Adjustable thumb "clutch" easier to use than any sniper button; Comfortable thumb rest area; PWM3389 sensor closely related to the familiar PWM3360

Unconventional shape might dissuade some; Scroll wheel resistance is adjustable; but hard to get set properly; Beta version of Razer Synapse is still...

Razer are pumping out new gaming mice faster than ever before. The latest addition to their line-up is the Basi

Comfortable design with an excellent sensor; Customizable sniper clutch is the best implementation of this feature yet; Adjustable scroll resistance

Only trivial issues

The Basilisk is a mouse that specifically targets FPS gamers. In fact, Razer boldly calls it the ‘world's most advanced FPS gaming mouse'. As a result, it's not as button-heavy as other options in its roster, although its eight programmable buttons mean it can still do some heavy lifting in this...

Having previously given Razer's DeathAdder Elite KitGuru's ‘Must Have' award, you can bet I was excited to get hands-on with the company's latest mouse – the Basilisk. The Basilisk is an entirely different beast to the DeathAdder, however – and please excuse the pun.

Thumb rest is a good addition; DPI clutch is much more convenient than a standard sniper button; Adjustable scroll wheel; Flawless performance

Ergonomics are let down by the flat right-hand side; Software support for Razer products is currently split between two versions of Synapse; which is not only a bit confusing but means Chroma sync won't work across all devices

I bought this as i have not had a gaming mouse for some time and oh my what a mouse it is, is smooth it fots snug in my hand and has a dpi clutch for them.sniping moments not to mention how fast the delivery was .

So after deciding from many different choices of Razer mice, I settled on this one. The large thumb rest on the left side of the mouse appealed to me as I like as little of my hand dragging on the mousepad as possible.

The Razer DeathAdder is renowned the world over for its ergonomic shape, its high-end sensor, its light weight. For many first-person shooter fans in particular, it's the mouse, the perfect way for them to communicate sweeping hand movements into game-winning feats of excellence.

The Razer Basilisk brings a sensitivity clutch to the Razer lineup of gaming mice to give you an extra edge in FPS games.

Sensitivity clutch; Customisable scroll wheel resistance; Impressive software support

Little expensive; High variance in optical sensor frame rate

If you believe the marketing hype, this is the world's most advanced FPS gaming mouse. It probably says a lot about the level at which we play FPS games that we struggle to imagine how peripheral advancements might meaningfully enrich the experience, but Razer's armed its latest Basilisk with an...

Christmas present, tried to install it so I can use the extra bits on it. Go to Razer site, one whole section "support" is unavailable. Good luck on the adventure trying to find the drivers for this overpriced block of plastic.
