Our Verdict
Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed
Razer Basilisk V3
The Razer Basilisk V3 is a newer, wired iteration in the Basilisk lineup, while the Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed is an older, wireless iteration. The Basilisk V3 is a wired-only model that's lighter and has better quality mouse feet. It also has five additional buttons, including an extra side button, and it has RGB lighting, which the Basilisk X Hyperspeed lacks. Performance-wise, it has a higher maximum CPI, a lower lift-off distance, and lower click latency. It also has a scroll wheel with L/R tilt buttons and a free-scrolling mode. On the other hand, the Basilisk X Hyperspeed connects wirelessly with its USB receiver or via Bluetooth.
