Our Verdict

Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed

Razer DeathAdder V2 X HyperSpeed

The Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed and the Razer DeathAdder V2 X Hyperspeed are both wireless-only gaming mice. The Basilisk X has a more ergonomic shape and a wrist rest. It has a wider CPI range and a more precisely adjustable CPI. On the other hand, the DeathAdder V2 X has better quality mouse feet with rounded edges, a lower lift-off distance, and two CPI switching buttons on the edge of its left click. Also, it has no RGB lighting and no side grips.
