Razer Basilisk Ultimate

Great hand fit and feel, with solid thumb support. Nifty charging dock. Wheel-tilt inputs. Strong new sensor. Wireless operation without noticeable input lag.

Pricey. DPI paddle could be a little short for your hand.

Bottom Line: The Razer Basilisk Ultimate is a killer, all-purpose wireless gaming mouse for serious PC gamers driven to pull out all the stops.

The Razer Basilisk Ultimate is a killer, all-purpose wireless gaming mouse for serious PC gamers driven to pull out all the stops.

Overall, the Basilisk Ultimate is a good mouse — but for the price, it's not a great one. The G502 Lightspeed is still probably the way to go for most gamers, although FPS aficionados should at least check out the Ultimate for the paddle, if nothing else.

Very good wireless mouse very responsive.

Great gaming mouse, it suits my play style perfectly. Very responsive and a good battery life. Very pleased with it

Great mouse and with the synapse software the customisation options are great. Very comfortable and battery life is pretty good too considering its powering RGB.

RGB lighting seems to have gone backwards. Each strip can only cycle 1 colour at once. Previous razer mice the strip can show the full spectrum.

Premium feeling product. I managed to get this at a cracking deal from here, I wouldn't pay full price, look around for a deal.

Battery life lasts about 3 days with long sessions. I use my workstation for design as well as gaming throughout the day.
