6.2/10verdict: good, not the best

The Razer Basilisk V3 is for right-handed users who want a wired mouse with a pronounced thumb rest and plenty of programmable buttons. It suits people who are happy with a cable and want extra controls for gaming or productivity. It is a poor fit for left-handed users, anyone who wants wireless, or competitive FPS players who find 101 g too heavy.
