With so many out there, picking the best gaming mouse feels like finding a needle in a haystack. But after trying out many different models, guess which one stole the show? The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro. Amidst a sea of other mice claiming to be ‘the best,’ this one truly shines. It’s not just about its great wireless features or the flashy RGB lights; it’s the whole package. When it comes to gaming mice, it is truly amazing.
Great Ergonomic Design
Razer Basilisk V3 Pro has a sleek black vibe going on, with a mix of matte and shiny bits that only scream ‘cool.’ And the RGB lighting is like a mini light show right on your desk. This mouse is designed for right-handers and feels super comfy, whether you’re gaming for hours or simply browsing.
Further, it has a textured grip on the sides, so no more accidental slips mid-game. And while we’re on the topic of staying connected, this mouse offers both a 2.4GHz dongle and Bluetooth. Just a heads-up, though: it only comes in black and white. Furthermore, at 112g, it is slightly heavier than average, yet remains perfect in the hand.

Comfortable Programmable Buttons
You know how some gaming mice have a gazillion buttons, and you’re left wondering, ‘Do I even need all these?’ Well, the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro comes with 11 buttons, and they’re all very handy. This mouse includes everything you need, whether you want to map the keys to your preferred moves in games or easy access to specific features. And the best part? It’s not just for one type of game. No matter if you play complex MMOs or favorite shooters, these buttons are best for playthroughs. Plus, they’re all within easy reach, so no awkward hand gymnastics are needed.
Unique Scroll Wheel
The scroll wheel on the Basilisk V3 Pro mouse is another great element of this mouse. It comes with the HyperScroll Tilt Wheel which lets you scroll rapidly, like you’re zipping through pages. But if you find it too fast, a simple click on the wheel and it’s back to the usual scroll feel. Furthermore, you can tilt the wheel left or right for side scrolling or even assign it another shortcut function. I tried it out in a few games, and it’s simply perfect. However, if you get a bit too intense in your gaming sessions, you might unintentionally click the scroll wheel which completely disturbs your mood.
Weight and Features
The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro is a heavy model, weighing 112 grams. It’s not one of those feather-light gaming mice, but don’t let that put you off. It feels super solid and balanced when it’s under your hands. Moreover, there are a few nice features worth mentioning; you can customize everything from the DPI settings (which goes up to a maximum of 30,000, by the way) to the RGB lighting and more, all in the Razer Synapse app. So, unless you’re a hardcore gamer looking for speed and need the lightest mouse available in the market, give this one a shot. It might just surprise you with how much you like it.

Charging Options
Nobody likes that moment when you’re deep into a game and— suddenly your mouse dies. With the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro, you get a solid 90 hours. And when it’s time to juice it up, there are options available for that. You can go old school with the included USB-C cable or get all futuristic with wireless charging. Simply swap out the puck on the bottom with the one from the Razer Mouse Dock Pro, and you’re good to go. The wireless charging is a great addition keeping you away from the cable jargon. No more mess on your table; pop the mouse on the dock, and it will effortlessly charge.
Verdict
Is the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro worth your hard-earned cash? It’s priced at $160, which isn’t exactly pocket change. But it often goes on sale and you can find it at a discounted price somewhere at any time. And what you’re getting is a steal. This mouse is like the luxury car of gaming mice. Premium build, top-notch performance, and greatly customizable with cool colorful RGB lights. If you’re thinking of splurging on a high-end wireless gaming mouse, this is the one to go for.
