Razer Basilisk Ultimate Vs Razer Viper Ultimate - the ultimate mouse off
Рет қаралды 33,230
2 жыл бұрынThis is a video to compare two of the most premium wireless gaming mice from Razer - The Basilisk Ultimate and the Razer Viper Ultimate. Both have comparable specs and similar pricing, but they're also quite different, so here I am comparing them and talking about which is my fave and why.
The Razer Viper Ultimate is the fanciest mouse in the Razer Viper line-up.
Highlights of the Razer Viper Ultimate:
- Great battery life (70 hours)
- Convenient charging capabilities (with the dock)
- Comfortable side grips and overall textured design
- Multi-programmable buttons (doubly so with Hypershift)
- Understated design
- Slick feet
Lowlights:
- DPI button is underneath?!
- Side buttons are too recessed and not easy to press
- Charging dock can be a faff
- RGB lighting is underwhelming

The Basilisk Ultimate is my preference though.
This is a nifty mouse with some great features. It has some really cool design features that include an easy to use, RGB capable charging base, a ridiculous battery life, a customisable scroll wheel that you can adjust feedback on and the awesome little paddle.

The Razer Basilisk is superbly accurate. It uses optical sensors (see here - www.razer.com/gb-en/razer-foc...) that ensure high accuracy and take away the risk of accidental double clicks.

I've been using the razer Viper ultimate for over 9 months now and I must say I love it. I also paired it with the razer firefly v2 hard surface. Maybe it's just Me, but I would never go back to a cloth mouse pad. The fluent motion in fps games has significantly improved for me. Love the channel

i like that you can calibrate razer/hard pads as a supported/surface while self calibrating/customizing lift off distance. I have an invicta myself, and just got a logitech G440 as a backup bc it was 15$...and hard pads are usually overpriced/expensive. Just a heads up if your pad is wearing/down/out. The logitech G440 is a pretty viable option at 15$ or as a backup/portable hard pad for travel so you dont have to risk bending/creasing the razer pad.

Quick question I just got the Basilisk ultimate in a real good online sale with the charging Dock, I charge mine with a USB plug from the wall can I ask does the glowing Dock light on the Dock itself only glow if its connected to a pc and rigged to the synapse? As my Dock seems to charge ok just the glowing light doesn't seem to glow on and off?

@@TheProvokedPrawn I suspect you are close to my age, 44, perhaps younger. Anyway, a creepypasta is simply a horror story created and passed around the internet. Slenderman is a popular one with a movie made about it. Also channel zero was a 4 season tv series in which each season showcases a different creepypasta. A few of the youtube narrators have British accents with timbre very similar to yours and are wildy popular with over a million subs each. Its the voice that brings the subs , I cant bear to listen to a channel with a nasily voiced narrator but a good scary story with the right narrating voice is naptime bliss,lol

@anhiirr Жыл бұрын
feeling both in person i liked the basilisk more by preference, though if youre critical about weight the viper is definitely lighter by comparison. I just needed a bit more height/hump profile than the viper the thumb/rest is actually a lot more usable/ideal than the G604 which was my daily that this will replace. The G604 just blasted through batteries in 1000hz mode for arpg/moba/mmo and its feet were worse quality than the G305 feet by comparison. The Energizer lithium ions last 3m+ in the G305...barely a month in the G604...bc of sensors...so you wind up using BT mode a lot more than you would like to with a G604...and often forget to switch back to 2.4ghz mode for games to a point where you notice in an mmo/arpg. Its a nice feature if you wanto/like using a mouse and have a BT keyboard for tablet/phone use if you also have those NEEDS..but this basilisk ultimate will be my main/daily on my desktop. At times i may fire up the G305 in fps shooters if it proves too hard to adapt to the basilisk for valorant/siege/cs:go type games. Though the added buttons and side scrolling will be a nice feature to have as a mount hotkey/auto valult hotkeys in warzone 2. Or a mouse 1/click macro for looting in warzone 2/tarkov...or arpg/shoot n loot PVE titles. Most of my G305 die from a mouse 1/2 faillure from all the moba/arpg/looter clicks and click/holds. But now my most recent G305 mouse wheel is moving on its own. So the time has finally come for a more "premium" wireless mouse went with one of these on sale...was going to go with a viper for 60$ which came with a doc as well...but went with the 68$ basilisk bc its shape fits my needs better. Sure i may pay 90$ range for a mouse if i REALLY had more weight concerns...but for now given its larger than the G305 the ability to grip/move it better/easier slightly compensates for the weight difference of a Viper ultimate or AA lithium ion G305. Hard pad for life razer invicta, Logitech G440 15$ back up in box just incase they get discontinued....hard pads typically go for 30-40$ idk why they get worn and the tracking degrades eventually. Its more noticeable in dpi ranges like 400-800 DPI...but since ive seen more "PROS" operating at the 1600-2000 dpi range i just started adapting that which seems smoother/helps with hard pads. And just compensate by lowering in game sens. It helps bc i can use my default mouse/profile a lot more than doing in game/per game profiles. So i can run a level of consistency from shooter to shooter. Instead of 400 dpi or 800 in cs/valorant/siege...and 1600-2400 on BF, warzone,tarkov etc. 2 year warranty so ill really be putting the CLICK/LIFE of these switches to the test, running everything/game/genre through a single mouse.
