Razer has simply launched an upgraded, totally wi-fi model of the Basilisk V3 – among the best gaming mice in the marketplace. The Basilisk V3 Professional can join over Bluetooth or Razer’s HyperSpeed 2.4Hz wi-fi normal, and with a number of non-compulsory extras, may also work with wi-fi charging and a (theoretically) extra responsive 4000Hz polling setting. That is a reasonably tricked-out peripheral, yeah?
Most of those options, besides wi-fi charging, had been launched a number of weeks in the past on the Razer DeathAdder V3 Professional (additionally pictured above, in white). However having used each for a number of days, I’m personally extra taken with the Basilisk V3 Professional – though it doesn’t have the DeathAdder’s spectacular lightness, the textured sides, comfortable thumb relaxation and optical switches all make it simply as pleasurable to make use of as my very own on a regular basis rodent. Which occurs to be a Basilisk V3.
That stated, this isn’t a evaluation as I haven’t but given the 4K polling (which principally means the mouse can ship knowledge to your PC 4000 occasions per second) the testing time it wants. Each this and wi-fi charging are delivered by means of the Mouse Dock Professional accent, which has an built-in 4K transceiver; the mouse does appear to work completely wonderful with its personal 2.4GHz USB dongle, do you have to choose out of the dock. Charging the Basilisk V3 Professional by perching it on prime is neat, however the wi-fi charging puck – which slots into the underside of the mouse – is one other additional expense.
How a lot, then, for the whole bundle? No small change, sadly: a bundle containing the Basilisk V3 Professional, a Mouse Dock Professional and a charging puck will set you again £208 / $200. Simply the mouse and the puck collectively is £170 / $170, and the mouse by itself is £160 / $160.
Once more, not a evaluation, however… blimey. Contemplating the usual wired Basilisk V3 is now about £50 / $50, that’s a towering premium even for those who simply get the mouse alone. The closest factor to a silver lining is that it’s solely £10 / $10 greater than the DeathAdder V3 Professional, which actually is amazingly mild however comes with fewer buttons and options. I will be giving each mice a extra thorough appraisal as quickly as I can.
