Customers are mixed about the smoothness of the mouse. Some mention that it glides smoothly, has responsive clicks, and fits nicely in their hand.

Customers are mixed about the button. Some mention the additional buttons are a nice touch, and the extra button on the top side can be used and set up. They also like the paddle button and find all the buttons are in a natural position for a large hand. However, others say that the side buttons don't work at all on their iPad, the scroll wheel button doesn't click, and that the buttons stick.

"...This mouse has three side buttons, that can be changed to do whatever you want via the razer app on your computer, and a mouse wheel resistance..." Read more

"...The side buttons were also very good in my opinion...." Read more

15 customers mention10 positive5 negative

Customers are mixed about the responsiveness of the mouse. Some mention that the responsive buttons and clicks are superb, smooth, and move very responsively. However, others say that they started to have issues when right clicking, the mouse ignores the click, and it very easily introduces unintended double clicks. Some customers also report that the scroll wheel started clicking every time they scroll down.

"...top quality materials so the feel of the buttons and their responsiveness is superb. The cord had a braided cover and the connector fits perfectly...." Read more

"...and-drag operation; now it's at the point that it very easily introduces unintended double clicks...." Read more

"...Good for one taps on Tarkov. Really sensitive too , if you put your computer on sleep mode walking by it can wake it up and it functions as a decent..." Read more

Gorgeous, lightweight, perfect
5 Stars
Gorgeous, lightweight, perfect
Beautiful and lightweight. Similar shape to the logitech g502 proteus spectrum which I replaced with this one. So far I would say I do like this mouse much better than the g502. It is lighter, more balanced, and the buttons and grips feel much nicer. And that's not to mention how gorgeous it is. Perfect compliment to my build as pictured. The Razer software is also very good and allows you to customize the settings and lighting on the mouse with ease and has a good number of options for lighting effects.

Para ser sinceros la ergonomía , el diseño y los acabados son sus principales puntos fuertes del mouse:
"RAZER BASILISK ESSENTIAL"

Un gran mouse siempre y cuando sepas configurarlo e instalar en tu computadora Synapse 3 , llevo 3 semanas probando este producto y me gustaría destacar sus principales atributos y deficiencias

Atributos:
* Un mouse de gran calidad , (tiene buenos materiales de construcción y se siente duradero)
* Cuenta con un botón desplegable ( eso me es muy útil , puesto a qué si lo ocupo para tareas de oficina se lo quieto para que no me estorbe , pero si me dedico a gaming me es muy útil , me gusta que tenga esa función de quitar y poner ese botón )
* Tiene un sistema de RGB muy bien diseñado y con una gran cantidad de iluminación ( menciono esto puesto que otras marcas no tienen una buen cantidad de iluminación , menciono esto porque tengo un teclado Logitech y cuando activo el rgb en ambos el rgb de mouse lo opaca por completo , lo buen es que desde el programa de Synapse 3 puedo configurar la intencidad del brillo )
*El mouse cuenta con 2 años de garantía ( siempre y cuando lo registres debidamente en sus página oficial , para ello requieres crearte una cue ya en Razer)
*Gran sistema de configuración ( con esto me refiero al programa de Synapse 3 , es muy intuitivo y puedes configurar fácilmente cualquier dispositivo Razer , lo mejor de esto es que puedes crear perfiles para cada juego o tarea en específico y aparte lo puedes guardar en la nube , el hecho de guardar tus configuraciones en la nube se me hizo muy interesante puesto si cambia de PC no tienes que volverlo a configurar todo de nuevo y ya tienes tus configuraciones listas para cualquier tarea , rápido , sencillo y fácil

Pero no todo es bueno , ahora empezaré a destacar sus principales deficiencias.

Deficiencias:
*El costo de aproximadamente 50 USD podría ser más competitivo , puesto que por ese precio en el mercado encontramos otros mouses con mayores funciones que este, así que solo recomiendo comprarlo si está en oferta (el cuál fue mi caso y por eso lo adquirí)
* Instalar en el ordenador el programa de Synapse 3 en ocasiones no es muy fácil , porque al principio me tope con varios inconvenientes , el principal era que no abría el programa en mi computadora con Windows 10 , tuve que entrar a ver un vídeo en Youtube y pide solucionarlo ( recomiendo a las personas de Razer mejorar el programa de Synapse 3 para que sea más fácil su arranque )
* Esto es ya a gusto personal , pero al recibir el producto y vi la caja del mouse se ve como un producto premium y de buena calidad , pero al destaparlo me topo que lo que está cubriendo el cable y el mouse dentro de la caja es solo un pedazo de cartón café , eso a mí criterio le quita lo premium , se ve muy simple , sugiero que cambien ese cartón café simple por un papel verde del tono de razer con su logo para mejorar la imagen del producto al abrirlo.
