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 .

Not only are these mice the same price, but they also share many of the same hardware traits, among them identical sensitivity settings and polling rates. Unlike the e-sports-focused DeathAdder Elite, however, the Basilisk was made with die-hard first-person shooter players in mind. Its key features—a rubberized thumb rest, a removable DPI switcher, and customizable scroll-wheel resistance—are designed to reduce gameplay friction for long hours of play. Individually, these inclusions may seem minor, even negligible, to the average gamer. But together they add dimension to a category of peripherals that hasn't seen a whole lot of innovation in recent years, especially at the budget level.
