The Razer Basilisk Ultimate is a well-designed, comfortable mouse with a full RGB color palette, but it's expensive and could do more.
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.

A deluxe design from the definitive enthusiast peripheral brand, the Basilisk Ultimate seeks to be the one true wireless mouse for any gaming need. How does it shape up in today's specialised ecosystem?
+ Comfortable Ergonomic Shape + Excellent HyperSpeed Wireless + No perceptible latency + Error-free optical sensor tracking + Flexible design elements + Customisable features + Vibrant RGB lighting + Part of the growing Razer Chroma ecosystem
- Weight - Restrictive battery life when RGB is enabled - Difficult to configure mouse wheel optimally
In a world of increasingly specialised mice, Razer’s Basilisk Ultimate harks back to an era of generalised design with premium or unique features setting it apart from its peers. The question is how well it can perform in each of its multi-faceted...

New competition for Logitech's G502 Lightspeed.
Long battery life and fast charging ; Incredibly responsive sensor and buttons ; Intuitive software suite
Sensitivity clutch button can be hard to reach ; Optical switch mouse buttons lack satisfying click of mechanical switch buttons ; Pricey
Razer’s subtle, yet RGB-friendly, mouse has the looks, feels and welcoming software needed to make it worthy of its premium pricing.

Consumer review (currys.co.uk)
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.
Consumer review (currys.co.uk)
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.
