The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro’s weight may be underwhelming, but otherwise, the responsive mouse is great for precision gaming. It is an expensive model, but it does match up its high-end price with performance, good features, and ease of use.

Overview

The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro is a premium gaming mouse first released in late 2022. The mouse has a 30,000 DPI Optical sensor and Razer Chroma RGB lighting for immersive gaming.

To put it at par with some of the best computer mice on the market, the mouse incorporates both Bluetooth and USB receiver connectivity, and it is powered by a rechargeable, built-in battery that delivers up to 90 hours of battery life with RGB lighting turned off.

Ergonomically, this right-handed mouse is best for palm-grip users. It features eleven buttons but allows for twenty-four programmable inputs facilitated by its shift commands.

A low click latency of 2.8ms, 2.2ms, and 11.4ms through its wired, receiver and Bluetooth connections makes it very responsive, and similar to most top-rated gaming mice, its click noise is low. Unfortunately, its customization software doesn’t work on MacOS systems.

What Is Not on the Box

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

our Verdict

The sturdy Razer Basilisk V3 Pro is a top-end, high-quality, right-handed gaming mouse with a matte coating for good grip, especially for palm grip users.

The 111g mouse isn’t lightweight but has both Bluetooth and wireless USB connectivity and an underwhelming 90-hour battery life.

With a tested click latency of 2.2ms (USB receiver), the mouse is pretty responsive, and its 30,000 DPI is adjustable in increments of 100 DPI for accurate calibration of its sensitivity through the user-intuitive Razer Synapse 3 software.

Its scroll wheel has well-defined steps for accurate scrolling and can be notched or free for precise movements.

Also, with 24 programmable inputs, the mouse is very programmable. Overall, the high-end mouse is a great tool for any gamer despite its heavy weight.

For some users, the wireless nature of the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro may make it easier to use compared to the wired Razer Basilisk V3. Aside from that, the V3 Pro also supports multi-device pairing while the Basilisk V3 does not, and the V3 Pro also has a higher operating resolution of 30,000 DPI compared to the V3 rated at 26,000 DPI. Check out our Razer Basilisk V3 review to see what else it has in store.

At 113g, the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro is slightly lighter than the Logitech G502 X PLUS, which weighs 103.7g. Also worth noting is that the V3 Pro supports Bluetooth connectivity while the G502 X PLUS does not, and the V3 Pro has a higher 30,000 DPI operating resolution compared to the G502’s 25,600 DPI rating. Lastly, the V3 Pro has a much quieter click sound than the Logitech G 502 X PLUS.

The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro is the upgraded version of the Razer Basilisk Ultimate, and as a result, it comes with a more capable Optical sensor, with an operating resolution of 30,000 DPI compared to its predecessor’s 20,000 DPI. The V3 Pro also works on glass while its predecessor does not, and its combined Bluetooth and nano USB receiver connectivity allows it to connect to two devices, while the Basilisk Ultimate’s single USB receiver connection limits it to one. Here’s our Razer Basilisk Ultimate review for more info.

The scroll wheel on the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro can be used either as a notched wheel or a freewheel; however, the one on the Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro can only be used as a notched wheel. Additionally, the V3 Pro has a thumb rest while the V2 Pro does not, and while the V3 Pro uses a USB-C cable for charging, the V2 Pro ships with a micro USB cable.
