I purchased this mouse for my son as he wanted to change over from a wireless mouse to a wired mouse while gaming. Needless to say this mouse met all of his expectations and them some. The buttons have a nice click feel to them and the mouse is spot on responsive with zero latency. It has RGB lighting with a textured scroll wheel and is also comfortable in the hand for long gaming sessions. For the price compared to the value it’s definitely worth giving it a try as you won’t be disappointed.

A must upgrade from any mouse you currently own. Heck i also want to by another one just for work because i cant use anything else but this. The mouse is so comfortable in the hand and the responsiveness is insane! And the custom DPI that you can set for yourself makes it even the more worth it. It is very easy to install because it comes with a driver and app already installed into the mouse so it automatically does the updates and downloads as soon as you plug it, no need to go to a website and download drivers and an app and restart the pc etc, looking at you logitech. As someone that had the logitech g502 hero for a few years, i now remember why i kept telling myself not to buy logitech anymore because they dont last long even with the most care out there. And in comparison to the hero, the basilisk 3v is a no brainer and a better mouse in every way! Weight, comfort , features, im a huge fan that the dpi buttons are not next to the left click like in the hero, that way there arent any accidental presses, so the left click feels bigger and easier to use even for just working at home and gaming. Overall this is a must buy and i highly recommend it! And the RGB lights on it are outstanding!!

Great mouse, especially if you can find it on sale. The USB cable is plenty long, so you can either cable manage it nicely and still have room to spare or have a long cable completely loose. The RGB is beautiful, especially the reflective light at the bottom that puts a really nice glow around your mouse pad where the mouse meets it. The sensor is extremely accurate, and I’ve never had problems tracking or feeling “off” in FPS shooters. Such a solid mouse for the price. The synapse app is actually one of the better peripheral programs too, which is wonderful. Also, the scroll wheel with auto detect scroll that changed between infinity scroll and regular scroll is great. Just having the option to instantly switch to infinite scroll is great. Weight is a little on the heavy side, but that is to be expected with a bigger mouse, that’s wired and has RGB. Fits great in a medium sized hand that uses a palm grip.
Fire product! Grab it while its on sale for sure!!

Very solid upgrade for my pc. I was using a 9 uesr old amazon special red dragon mouse for the longest. Needless to say i needed some updated equipment for my gaming sessions. For moba usage this mouse is perfect for me. Id highly recommend this mouse to a friend! Rgb and infinite scroll wheel are just extra bonuses (not to mention the rbg is the best ive seen placement wise for most gaming mice).

Excellent gaming mouse especially for the money. Bats way out of its price point. Fast, responsive, comfortable, excellent button customization and placement, and in my opinion some of the best RBG lighting in the gaming mouse market. I haven’t found myself once wishing I got “the better one” Highly recommend.

It’s smaller size than I wanted but after some months I didn’t mind at all the extra buttons are super useful in game, video editing, and digital art ( not to draw but to move stuff around or open up tools) overall all I give it a 8/10 on comfort, 10/10 for functionality and 10/10 for aesthetics design with the RGB. Im happy with this mouse

I had a G502 for years that finally developed the dreaded (known) double-clicking issue. Got one of these and haven't looked back since--I honestly like it better. The RGB is awesome and the rubberized scrollwheel is a pleasure to use after the 502's slippery metal one.
Ergonomics are great, very comfortable. Cable is light and non-intrusive. Good value as well as I've frequently seen it on sale.

I love how comfortable this mouse feels...I come from an old Logitech g400s, this was quite the upgrade both in terms of smoothness and dpi, as well as comfort and grip. It doesnt give me the feeling that it is extremely cheap either.
I was also interested in the logitech g502 but from the reviews I saw it looks like they switched their braided cable to a cheaper non-braided cable. The fact that the Basilisk had the braided cable was a contributing factor.
At the time of purchase this was

Works well! Price is always a plus! Gotta make a Razer account to customize colors and sensitivity but the standard works just as well. Reacts well and comfortable to the palm.

I recently bought the Razer Basilisk V3 Wired Optical Gaming Mouse, and it’s fantastic! I loved it so much that I ended up giving it to someone else and buying another for myself. The customizable RGB lighting looks amazing, and the overall design feels really solid and comfortable to use. The performance is smooth and responsive, perfect for gaming or everyday use. Definitely worth it!

I throughly enjoy the mouse all around. The colors and controlling them with the Synapses is easy and fun, the controlling of the mouse itself and its customizations is amazing and simple. Both for gaming and in general this is a great mouse. Great feel, just wish I could reach one of the left buttons with my thumb without moving my entire hand.

The Razer mouse I recently purchased is a perfect example of getting great value without breaking the bank. Despite being more affordable compared to some high-end gaming mice, this model impresses with its build quality, performance, and features. The design is sleek and ergonomically friendly, fitting comfortably in my hand for extended gaming sessions. The build quality feels sturdy, with a premium finish that doesn’t suggest it’s a budget option. The mouse also features customizable RGB lighting, which adds a nice aesthetic touch and can be personalized through Razer’s software.

Great mouse, very responsive and light. Its perfect for fast paced fps gaming. I also love the free-spin mouse wheel. You have to try this mouse.

Individually lit RGB zones? Check. Easy movement? Check. Fully customizable color/animation profiles, including ones tied into specific apps/games? Check. Priced reasonably, unlike just about every other mouse brand/model with these features? So many checks.
I've had this mouse for a little over a month now, and it continues to be a pleasure to use. And the Razer Synapse software makes customizing it to almost insanely granular levels possible, even if it's sometimes a bit overwhelming. Coupled with the fact that you can also apply lighting effects to other compatible devices like the Cynosa 2 keyboard with the click of a button, and the whole Razer Chroma ecosystem is just plain nice, and at much lower prices than other manufacturers.
Oh, and how beautifully it ties in with that Cynosa keyboard I mentioned. When part of an overall RGB setup, the possibilities for customizing one's work/gaming space become enormous.
I'm not usually a 5-star reviewer, but when something works this well for such a good price, I have to give that extra little bump in its rating. I can easily recommend this mouse, especially if you can get it on sale for even less.

This is my first gaming mouse, so i dont have much to compare with, but i do love it. The rgb lights are cool, it has a sensitivity clutch to slow down movement. Also a dpi button right on the mouse to select between a few different settings. All buttons are customizable in the app. Excellent mouse at this price point.

Got this to replace a Microsoft mouse that had died on me. I'd wanted a mouse that could be used for gaming but could comfortably be used for a palm grip. This model had come up on several ranked lists from a variety of sites, and when I tried the feel in-store, I really liked the feel! I've been using it for three months now and it feels sturdy, love the RGB, and I've enjoyed the performance!
I haven't had much experience with gaming mice up until now, so I can't say how it compares relative to others like that, but as someone just getting into PC gaming I've really liked it.
