High-End Mouse for FPS Gamers
Razer are pumping out new gaming mice faster than ever before.
The latest addition to their line-up isthe Basilisk, a high-end mouse designed specifically for first-person shooter gaming.
Let’s talk about the hardware first.
The switches are Razer/Omron mechanical switches, rated for up to 50 million clicks.
At 107 grams, the Basilisk is a typical, moderate weight for a wired mouse.
The result is a mouse that performs largely without error in gaming situations.
I still don’t know how anyone could use a mouse at 16,000 DPI though.
Well, approximately 4mm of movement sends the cursor from edge to edge of my 1440p ultrawide monitor.
The construction of this mouse is great and assists with usability.
Each main click button is a separate section of plastic, while the scroll wheel is raised quite prominently.
As usual, you’re able to customize everything using Razer’s Synapse utility.
The sniper clutch is an interesting and unique feature about this mouse.
The left forward/back buttons are very good with a deep yet satisfying click.
Every button is fully programmable.
The sniper clutch is an interesting and unique feature about this mouse.
Having this sort of button does come in handy quite often if you play FPS games as a sniper.
The best part of the sniper clutch is its customizability.
The other aspect to this mouse that can be customized is the scroll wheel.
Oh, and there’s support for macros as well.
For$70, theBasiliskis essentially the complete package for FPS gamers.
