Razer Basilisk V3 Pro Review: high quality, high price

Ғылым және технология

We all know Razer products are rarely cheap, but today Mat is checking out the Basilisk V3 Pro that retails for about £60 here in the UK. Razer also sent over the Mouse Dock Pro which adds on another £80 - can the pricing be justified, or is it just too much to ask? Read more here: bit.ly/3JC6TVA

    as someone that recently got this mouse and that has been using a razor viper ultimate and shortly after the viper 8 k i have to say ive come to realize that light mice actually do more harm than good for me? that and shape and grip in hand seem to effect my game play much more. i just got this mouse and my aim is more consistent.

    Been using the v3 pro and dock pro for a month now. Paired with the black widow 75% and keeping them both at 8k polling and 4500 dpi on the mouse it's been unbelievable, and coming from a console only controller player, the change is unreal. Now I know why I was getting sweat on by every pc player lol

    Just ordered this mouse minus the charging dock, I'm hoping to catch it on sale later in the future. I myself prefer a heavier set mouse, I am not a big of the "superlight" feel that's been all the craze. From the original G502 and then G903, I am tired of the double click issues that plague Logitech and have decided to give Razer a try. Great video!

    I’ve got the V2 pro wireless and my issues are the scroll wheel adjustment no longer works properly, neither does the charging dock as it doesn’t seem to make good enough contact to enable charging. If those were fixed i might consider it. However I think I would skip that charging dock too due to price as I found it hasn’t hindered me since it’s went tits up.

    If I hadn't already experienced how convenient the dock is then I've got to say no. After using it for a while though, it's really nice having 4000hz polling and a charger right there when I need it. I'd maybe consider it, but I'd have to have £240 that was very 'spare' and burning a hole in my pocket

    Does this mouse smoothly scroll text, i.e. line-by-line, out-of-the-box? I don't think I've had a mouse in donkeys that does this; they all seem to go three-to-five lines at a time, which is really annoying. I really liked this review; certainly joint 1st place in mouse reviews; I'd have to dig to find one as good. IF it scrolls as I want out of the box I'll be after one of these! Your camera still needs to be a tad higher; but kudos - I can see now you are putting your posture first. 👍👏

    Jus got this like a week ago and got the pro dock running at 8k hz. Used razer mamba elite or ye can't remember whatever ones cheaper for past like 7 years dif ones and this is better in all ways maybe besides the feel but even then it's jus getting used to. Like the scroll wheel also because it's bigger so I can jumpshot easier and such because I have my jump in fps set to scroll and use my knuckle to hit side scroll to jump. Love the mechanical buttons and playing sekiro with mouse with left and right click with them switches is game changing. Got the razer strider chroma also coming from Goliath medium cloth pad way more speed and control since it's a hybrid. Is those 3 things worth almost $400? Idk lol prob not but it upgraded my setup like a mf hell spend 3k+ on a new pc thats worth almost 4k because of black Friday sales plus another 1k on a g8 OLED.Anyways thats my life story lol

    The ones breaking are their older models. This one is actually worth getting. One thing I would recommend is to get their black version because the white gets very dirty easily and it's hard to remove the stains... speaking from experience. Other than that, it is the best mouse I've ever had. In my opinion, Razer's mice are the only good products from them.
