    Great review! I've been using the wired version of the Basilisk V3 since it came out as my main web browsing/light gaming mouse and can't say enough good things about it. I had to RMA my first one because the scroll click got a little wonky, but this second one has been working fine. When I see the wireless one on sale for cheap some day I'll definitely pick it up.

    Something I appreciate about best buy I'd being able to go in store to literally " feel " a product out.
    Choice came down to the basilisk and the 502.
    I went with the basilisk because I find it easier to reach all the side buttons with my thumb vs the 502.

    Good review. I'm interested in both mice but I'd like to know how's the scroll wheel click feedback. Reviews barely pay attention to it and imo it's a pretty important feature. I like the G502 and have a wireless G502 but the scroll wheel feedback when clicking it it's terrible, feels awful. How is it in the new models and how does it compare to the Basilisk in your opinion? Thanks.

    I own the g502 x, it's a premium feeling mouse - nice upgrade on the 2014 g502 I used previously. Switches are crisp and clicky, side button soft with no pre or post travel. Build quality excellent! It is what it says on the tin, heavier side of mice - great for productivity and I use it for any game that's not fps, although I have used for fps on high sense it's fine but micro adjustments are slightly hard. Just got my lamzu atlantis paired with artisan hayate otsu fx soft and oh man, world of difference.

  • @Maddog-xc2zv
    @Maddog-xc2zv Před 9 měsíci +4

    I have the razer, but the logitech is a pretty good contender I wouldn't mind using also. As mice use are very personal, I'd chose the B3 pro because I value the sensor a lot and I also prefer optical switches to for me not crisppy but louder hybrid switches combining optical/mechanical tech. That said both mice are "beasts" and any of them will serve you pretty well. A curiosity, I don't use this shape for gaming but rather for daily bases use, in which it's comfort will be unmatchable when compared to real "pro" segment, like the razer viper 2 pro, razer deathadder v3 pro, the here not yet released Logitech G Pro X superlight 2 with hero 2 sensors (it makes a lot of difference to me regarding the original), the lamzu thorn with 4kzh hyperpolling and sensor Pixar 3395 and optical switches, a couple of vaxee, the endgame gear xm2w, and for smaller mice the lamzu atlantis also 4kzh and, you may call me crazy but I do like it's performance regarding being overweighted, the razer cobra pro, also Focus Pro gen 3 sensors and optical switches. Great video, very appealing, I got a lot of fun watching it, guess I'll also subscribe. Cheers.

  • @XeroCreator
    @XeroCreator Před 9 měsíci +4

    For me, having a larger hand and being able to grip a keyboard from top to bottom with no issue... the basilisk seems to fit my hand better. that being said, I have to swap between multiple mice a day (I'm an IT person)... so I am slightly biased when it comes to how mice feel, being used to some really terrible feeling mice.
    That being said... again... the G502 lightspeed I have, feels considerably worse to move around (coincidentally on a logitech mouse mat), where the razer basilisk ultimate and v3 both feel smooth ... and almost weightless honestly.
    I also think I prefer the design of the larger scroll wheel being easier to interact with as well, the g502's wheel on the lightspeed model I have is fine, but the click latency is over 5ms so i'm possibly selling it and buying a v3 pro, or maybe just another mouse all together.

      I made a reddit campaign for this a ways back and reached out to Logitech but my request went into the abyss. g700s had perfect ergo and side buttons, the way your thumb could roll to the upper buttons was magic and the dpi up-down was out of the way. Just lighten it up, add a LiPO, no RGB and add reliable switches. I'm on the 502 lightspeed (non x) and it's a hot mess so I'm considering the Basilisk though it's hard to part ways...Logitech got away from their ergo roots.

      @@rostyslavmochulskyi159 I bought both, but I kept the basilisk. The Logitech was a bit more heavier for gaming and the scroll wheel was rougher than the basilisk. Logitech’s was nice too, but the amount of RGB customization on the Basilisk is so much better. Logitech has a more simple software. I guess the positive thing about Logitech is that it has onboard memory so you don’t need to constantly run the software in the background and you can save custom profiles according to your DPI settings. With the Razer, you have to run the software to load your effects, but if that doesn’t bother you.. go with basilisk. Honestly both are good, but I would go for Basilisk if you want more customization.

I had the Razer mamba hyperflux. my mouse would legit disappear on my display until I reset the mouse, randomly during use. My basilisk V2 did the same thing.

      I owned Razer peripherals for years and it took a long time for me to accept they just are not of the same durable quality of Logitech. ALL my Razer products that I ever used died in 12-18 months time in one way or another. At first I thought I was just unlucky so I kept buying them but eventually I learned, just don't buy Razer. They are absolutely dogshit unless you only care if they work for 1-2 years max and in some cases much shorter. Logitech on the other hand generally last so long I replace them, not because they are broken, but because I'm just tired of using the same one after 4+ years.

    Script > Razer
    Ghub CPU utilisation = less than Synapse
    Lightforce switches > Razer optical 3rd Gen
    wireless Bug and software recognition issues = less than Razer's

    Something to consider is that the basilisk can only remap the functions of the mouse. The logitech can assign any key to any button on the mouse, whether it’s left click, or the letter A etc. Also in order for some of the buttons to work on the basilisk, it must be plugged in to a PC only while running synapse the logitech works on Mac as well as PC. The logitech is much more programmable.

    For those who are going to buy g502x. That scroll mode switching sound is incredibly loud. For me, this is an unacceptable volume level. This toggle button appears to be used frequently, but its volume level just isn't meant to be used too often. Therefore, I returned this mouse on the same day as I bought it. Also the mouse wheel is REALLY loud. In this video, it is no coincidence that Razer's wheel is spinning quieter.
    The rest of the moments were not so important for me, you can get used to them. For example, the mouse wheel doesn't feel well-fixed, but perhaps this disadvantage is due to the ability to tilt it on both sides. It is also worth paying attention to the crispy sounds during pressing. Crispy clicks is not just mentioned in the reviews, it can be annoying. But I'm sure someday you'll get used to it
    I was choosing the mouse for MMORPGs and strategy games, where the mouse wheel is often used to control the camera. That's why it's important for me to have a good mouse wheel and lots of buttons. Now I have a bloody TL80 (in my country at the time of purchase in 2018 it cost 3 times less than the g502x now costs)

      I got both in hand rn because I couldn't decide. The Basilisk imo feels better in every way. The scroll wheel is dead silent except for the clutch mechanism at the end. The clicks sound better to me, the G502x rings and has like a reverb to it? Almost hollow sounding. Not a fan of it. Bluetooth connectivity is also huge, super useful for laptops and taking it to class and other places.
      The only reason I'm still considering the G502x is because I got it at half the price because bestbuy had the non-RGB version on sale + 20% off coupon for recycling an old mouse. The Basilisk is 100% better I believe, but is it $80 better when I don't care about the RGB? Thats the question. I also have questions of reliability. I'm confident the G502x will last and can easily be RMAd. not sure about the Basilisk

      most games support at least 2k polling rate - Did you just randomly add that? Do the games say that on their description? 4k polling is a very small difference visually and generally you won't have any advantage over anyone using 1k polling in game - hence why 80% of the pro players are still on Logitech, Zowie, Vaxee, Xtrfy. And 8k? There's alot of games that don't play stable with 8khz. You're a classic case of someone who gets fooled by numbers.

Also, I’m pretty sure u process physical touch far quicker than what u see. Therefore, even if I can’t see the effect real-time, u SHOULD be able to feel the difference in 0.75ms (difference between 1k to 4k) but I have yet to try it - that’s the only reason I’m curious 🤷‍♂️

      ​@@ViberzRLdude, 1kHz polling is already insane. We used to play at 256Hz not thaaaat long ago and it was OK. Even if you have an insane monitor, the very top of the top end, at 365Hz, at 1kHz pooling rate you're checking the position of the mouse almost 3 times between each frame, there's LITERALLY 0 chance any human could sense the difference. At 2KHz or 4kHz you're basically just increasing CPU load and reducing the mouse battery life for no reason. The main reason mice started increasing the pooling rate in the past was to increase maximum Gs, since very quick flick shots could cause the mouse to lose tracking. This problem has been loooooong solved, there's no way you can flick your mouse fast enough that it loses tracking.

If you don't use the 2 extra buttons on the g502, go for the basilisk v3 as it has the superior scroll wheel because of the smart-reel feature. Own them both and the smart-reel feature is perfect for productivity and apex legends.

    Smart-Reel on the Razer is a gimmick, it is much more relialible to just hit the button thats right there than spin it and hope it engages. Logitec dropped the feature 10 years ago, it just didn't work well in practice. It is nice to finally see other mice getting free-spin though.

      I don't think that the "did not work well in practice" is actually factual. I currently use a Logitech Master 3S which does have the smart reel functionality and it works WONDERS. I actually like it so much that I always leave the smart reel to full sensitivity so that I can easily shift into loose scroll mode easily. That allows me to switch from gaming to programming and back without any configuration or additional button press needed. I do miss the 1000Hz polling rate for gaming though, so seeing Razer's Basilisk offering me both smart reel and high polling really has caught my attention. Now if Razer actually offers me the same quality that Logitech does is another matter entirely, and I really do not have an answer for that .
