The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro is a continuation of the Razer Basilisk lineup of gaming mice and the wireless version of the Razer Basilisk V3. Like the other mice in this series, it's a multi-genre gaming mouse with a right-handed design that's best suited for a palm grip where all hand sizes will feel comfortable. This version upgrades the mouse sensor and includes Gen-3 optical switches in the L/R click buttons, but it keeps the overall shape and button cluster that popularized the lineup.

Our Verdict

0.0
Work 

The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro is an excellent mouse for work. The right-handed ergonomic shape is very comfortable to use, and the mouse feels overall very well-built in hand. Notably, its scroll wheel has quite a bit of features, including two free-scrolling modes and left-right tilt inputs, making it a great choice if you tend to work with video editing or spreadsheets. There's also a cluster of three buttons on the left side, and all buttons on the mouse are re-programmable using the companion software. You can connect the mouse to two devices simultaneously: one with its USB receiver and another with a Bluetooth connection.

Pros
  • Feels very well-built.
  • Ergonomic, right-handed shape feels comfortable to use.
  • Storage compartment for USB receiver.
  • Connects with Bluetooth and a USB receiver.
Cons
  • Smaller hands may find the mouse too large to use comfortably with certain grip types.
0.0
Video Games (FPS) 

The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro is an excellent mouse for FPS gaming. It has exceptionally low click latency for a very responsive-feeling in-game experience. The right-handed ergonomic shape is comfortable to use, though it's best suited for larger hands. Overall, it feels very well-built and has high-quality feet that provide an excellent gliding experience on desks and mousepads. However, it's heavy compared to dedicated FPS gaming mice, meaning you may prefer a lighter option.

Pros
  • Feels very well-built.
  • Ergonomic, right-handed shape feels comfortable to use.
  • Extremely low click latency.
  • Storage compartment for USB receiver.
  • Outstanding sensor performance.
Cons
  • Smaller hands may find the mouse too large to use comfortably with certain grip types.
  • Heavier than dedicated FPS mice.
0.0
Video Games (MMO) 

The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro is an excellent MMO or MOBA gaming mouse, though it doesn't have as many side-buttons as dedicated MMO mice. Overall, it feels very well-built and comfortable in hand, thanks to its right-handed ergonomic shape. Performance-wise, its click latency is incredibly low, and its sensor offers excellent performance.

Pros
  • Feels very well-built.
  • Ergonomic, right-handed shape feels comfortable to use.
  • Extremely low click latency.
  • Storage compartment for USB receiver.
  • Outstanding sensor performance.
Cons
  • Smaller hands may find the mouse too large to use comfortably with certain grip types.
  • Not as many buttons as dedicated MMO mice.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro is available in a Black or Mercury White colorway option. There are also additional bundle options that include the mouse plus a charging dock or the mouse with a wireless charging puck. We purchased and tested just the mouse individually in the Black colorway, and you can see the label of our unit here.

    Popular Mouse Comparisons

    The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro continues the popular Razer Basilisk lineup. It's the wireless version of the Razer Basilisk V3 and includes Bluetooth connectivity and the ability to pair it with Razer's HyperSpeed dongle for a higher maximum polling rate, though this dongle is a separate purchase. This mouse hits the same niche as other multi-genre gaming mice, like the Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED, but offers some differences in terms of an upgraded sensor and improved optical switches. While it's extremely versatile and performs well for any genre of game, a casual gamer would likely not need this level of performance.

    Logitech G502 X PLUS

    Track

    The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro and the Logitech G502 X PLUS are wireless multi-genre gaming mice with exceptional gaming performance. The Logitech is somewhat more lightweight and has a significantly longer advertised battery life with all RGB lighting off. On the other hand, the Razer has higher-quality feet and supports Bluetooth.

    Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED

    Track

    The Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED and the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro are both wireless multi-genre gaming mice, but the V3 Pro has better gaming performance thanks to its extremely low click latency. The V3 Pro also uses optical switches in the left- and right-click buttons that eliminate double-clicking issues. That said, the performance on the V3 Pro may be overkill for most casual gamers, so the more moderately priced G502 performs comparably well.

    Logitech G502 X

    Track

    The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro and the Logitech G502 X are multi-genre gaming mice that perform similarly well. There are a few notable differences since the Razer is a wireless model that connects with either Bluetooth or a USB receiver, while the Logitech is a wired-only model. The Razer also has RGB lighting, which the Logitech lacks.

    Logitech G502 HERO

    Track

    The Logitech G502 HERO and the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro are both multi-genre gaming mice, but the V3 Pro is a wireless model that connects with Bluetooth or a USB receiver, and the G502 HERO is a wired-only model. The V3 Pro does perform better overall as it has an upgraded sensor, better left- and right-click switches, and better overall click latency, but these features may be overkill for a casual gamer. The G502 HERO is a better value option for casual gamers.
