Review on Razer Basilisk Ultimate Hyperspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse with Charging Dock: Fastest Gaming Mouse Switch - 20K DPI Optical Sensor - Chroma RGB - 11 Programmable Buttons - 100 Hour Battery - Classic Black by Steve Yatnalkar

Revainrating 4 out of 5

**UPDATED** Bought after further consideration

Below was my original review. But to update my rating I bought this mouse again. I just can't stand Logitech software. I don't know if it was a placebo effect, but I put in 4 hours on Apex the first night I had it (last night), and I probably had some of the best rounds I've had regarding had damage and wins. I'll just learn to live without those 2 extra buttons on the G502. Still gets 4 stars out of 5 due to the lack of those buttons. This mouse was TAAAAAAAOOOOOO very close to perfection. Coming from the G-502 (I have 4 of these for each computer I use) I was keen to switch to Razer as they have really picked up steam lately. But I ended up having to send it back. Logitech decided to really mix things up with their new G-Hub software (Oh, I see you have a bunch of Logitech Gaming Software profiles? Do you want to import them? Sure, let me just make it look like this , as if I had imported them. ) Yes, that's what happened to me. G-Hub imported my profiles but actually did NOT import ANY of my personalized mouse bindings which I have yet to go through and set everything up again. Also, for some reason it didn't switch profiles automatically unless I manually added the .exe to settings (a friend didn't have this problem). So I got it, set up a custom config in Synapse for Apex Legends (super easy) and played for about 4 hours. After 4 hours I had to pack and send it back. Don't get me wrong, I liked how easily this mouse glided over my Razer Firefly V2, I liked the feel in my hand, I liked the grippy and tactile scroll wheel, and I liked the feel of the buttons. Is it back when I loved him so much? Due to the lack of two buttons. I figured I could live without the G7 and G8 keys that the G-502 has. But after trying several different keymap configurations to compensate for the missing keys, I just couldn't find a workable solution. I use these buttons a lot and just can't live without them. WHY Razer?!? WHY! You obviously copied G-502, you didn't even try to hide it, like a baby with chocolate face and hands telling you it didn't eat the candy. You obviously made this mouse to force G-502 users to switch sides, but you left out 2 buttons that would have forced me to use them. For some people this may not be a deciding factor and for such people BUY THIS MOUSE! It's amazing, that's why I give it 4 stars. If, like me, you've relied heavily on the G7 and G8 buttons, you might just want to stick with the G-502 line of mice.
