Our Verdict
Razer Basilisk
Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed
The Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed is a slightly better mouse than the Razer Basilisk. The X is a wireless mouse that has a lower click latency. On the other hand, the regular Basilisk has an extra programmable button and better sensor performance.
