Basilisk is a very precise mouse. It's by no means small but more narrow then Naga and the rubber sides together with the thumbrest make it very easy to grip and execute precise movements using various hand, wrist and arm muscle groups together. Naga in that regard is a bit more clumsy and relaxed, still capable in shooters by all means but the Basilisk has an edge over it in such type of games.
The extra buttons are very well placed. They are easily accessible but don't get in my way, so I don't trigger them by an accident, which sometimes happen when I use the DeathAdder or Mamba.
The feature to control the sensitivity of the scroll-wheel is genius! I have it set to have the most resistance. Switching weapons by an accident in the middle of action is no longer a thing. The sensitivity adjusting wheel feels a bit flimsy but it's on the bottom of the mouse and so far worked as intended, so I don't think this is a problem but, perhaps, could be a long term point of failure. I had this mouse so far for a couple of months, so I can't say how it will be years from now, but so far -- so good!
The main buttons are very long, longer than on any other mice I ever used, and are quite sensitive, but not to the point that I press them easily by an accident. They are quick and very easy to trigger when needed. Activating sniper-type weapons when the time is right, but not a second later, feels just right, and it seems the philosophy behind the design was exactly that -- to give the user that ability to trigger weapons as fast as possible using muscles within nearly the entirety of fingers. This also gives it that elongated "alien spaceship" type look that I very dig. The weight of fingers is evenly distributed along the length of the buttons.
It glides very easy and feels at home on any mat but works especially well with hard surface mats. On the bottom it has extensive low friction inserts that make it feel stable and quick.
At first I was skeptical of the thumbrest, and I never owned a mouse with one before, but it's certainly there for more comfort and better control, certainly not just for looks.
When it comes to looks, I think it's their most good looking mouse. Very elegant, though, of course this is subjective. To me the looks are a plus but I certainly don't buy mice for their looks (well, maybe the Mamba Elite is an exception, haha).
Somewhere I read that it has one of the best sensors out there, I can't comment on that as all Razer mice to me feel good and I mostly use the 1800 DPI setting on all of them with the ultra-wide 1440p main screen I use. There were no glitches with the sensor, it has been working fantastic all this time. This could be a placebo and, perhaps, this has more to do with the overall design of the mouse, but it feels very precise, more precise than my DeathAdder but, again, this could be unrelated.
Overall, it's an amazing FPS mouse that in my world takes the crown from the DeathAdder in that regard. It's the mouse that I take along to use with my laptop most of the time as it's nearly as comfortable to me as the Naga but lighter and not as tall, which makes makes it fit my backpack pockets better. I like using it for work as well. There's absolutely nothing negative to state about it, minus the flimsy-ish resistance regulation wheel for the scroll-wheel but, as mentioned earlier, it is on the bottom of the mouse and doesn't need to be tanky at all to perform its function well, which it does.
I certainly would recommend this mouse to pretty much everyone. Whether you are a professional that needs a very precise mouse or an e-sports star -- it's an amazing mouse to have. My Mamba and DeathAdder are jealous as lately I've been using exclusively the Basilisk and the Naga, though the other mice do make good display pieces :)
As someone who had been told that they are sometimes a little too picky with not-super-important things (i.e. a gaming mouse), I cannot recommend this mouse enough.
I will say that I have only had this mouse for two weeks, so I can’t speak to its expected life. However, barring any complete durability malfunctions, this mouse had exceeded every expectation, and I am very pleased with this product overall. Enjoy!
I like the feel of it in my hands. It feels sturdy and durable it doesn’t feel cheap even though it’s only made of plastic. The grip that it has on the right thumb also feels good and adds to its feel of quality.
I also like that you can change the strength or resistance of the scroll wheel. While it won’t reduce the resistance to allow you to infinitely scroll like the G502 it will reduce it enough to allow you to scroll really easily.
The grip that I had to use to grab on to this mouse is one of the things that felt a little weird to me at first. Coming from a Naga which doesn’t have as much thumb support but instead more finger support it took me about a week or two to adjust my grip to it but now it feels natural.
One thing I wish this mouse had would be that I wish it had bigger DPI buttons. I reconfigured my DPI buttons so that they’re “M” and “L” I use these buttons while gaming and having smaller, shorter buttons make it easier to misclick. However, I am adapting to them as time goes on and the more I use them.

The wire itself is super soft and you can't feel it drag at all. Plus RGB amirite haha
But yeah, it is awesome and I highly recommend it for someone looking for a simple bigger mouse that is good for regular computer work as well as gaming.
Comparando O Basilisk V.2 com o essencial as coisas só melhoraram. Mais botões customizáveis, a roda do mouse tem regulador de tensão e 2 novas funções quando preciso nada para a esquerda ou direita.
O mouse é leve e o RGB dá um charme. Cabo em tecido não parece que vai dar problema.
Segundo o fabricante aguenta até 5 milhões de clicks, e se for verdade, ótimo! Na minha experiência com o Basilisk Essencial esses clicks a mais significam vida a mais, já que o único defeito que o mouse apresentou - motivo para eu trocá-lo - foi o desgaste do botão esquerdo que passou a dar duplo click, mais isso levou ANOS.
Sendo assim, me parece uma ótima compra.
