Now this is a comparison video I have wanted for a while!

Super proud of how far you’ve come, your videos helped me get me setup right for everything, been here since 2k subs

Say tactile one more time.

Looking at Basilisk V3 Wired and ROG Keris Wireless for office and casual gaming use. So I will be bringing the mouse back and forth between office and home. I don't care about extra buttons, and both shapes work for me. Which would you suggest? Sacrifice features for wireless or the other way?

As a G502 owner, albeit of the older Proteus Spectrum, I love the mouse but the DPI +/- buttons are too easily hit by accident when using the main left button. Also I agree with other posters who report that the grooves in the shell rapidly get gunky and they are a PITA to clean.

For the logitech you can add more custom DPI spots on the slider by just clicking anywhere. LG G Hub software will allow you up to 5 presets and you can delete them by clicking them and dragging them off the slider. Never used a Razer Basilisk but am quite happy with my G502 Hero for the amount of gaming that I do.

I bought a Basilisk V2 like a week ago because it was on sale, and out of nowhere they released the V3. I ended up returning the V2 to get the V3 and I am so much happier with the new scroll wheel. Although I think the smart-reel needs tweaking as I scroll too fast forward that it activates too regularly to be useful for me, the tactile feel is very nice. Much better compared to the "sensitivity adjustor" on the V2. I even bought the Razer Grip Tape, and it's made the mouse literally something that has changed gaming for me. The new LEDs and the new permanent side button has literally made this mouse, everything it could ever be. One of the best gaming mice out there.

Great review - I’m set on the V3. Also, if you don’t mind me asking, what are those two light stands either side of your monitor?

Wheel went bad on my G502 after cleaning it. For 40 bucks, I ended up ordering another to replace it. It's a really good mouse and I couldn't justify paying double or triple more for something just because it has nicer RBG lighting. Especially since the one I have now lasted around 6 or 7 years.

I wish basilisk has that extra 2 side buttons that g502 has. I really love g502, but it's been double clicking on me and i think this is the closest thing to it.

Nice Video Loved It Always Wanted to see such a thing

Using Deathadder V2 pro and G502 at the moment. Returned the Basilisk V3 after 12 days. Indeed it's better for gaming than G502, but I couldn't live without those 2 buttons next to left click + G502 has much better left/right click feedback (it's also easier to press rapidly). What we really need is Basilisk V4 with those two buttons or G503...

I had G502 from 2016 so finally after 7 years when one of the sliders started to peel off I decided to just buy G502 (Hero) again and ... immediately Ive seen some not so nice differences, where Logitech cheapen out - cable was no longer braided, some tasteful coloring disappeared on the side and most importantly, the scroll wheel started to skip both ways after only 2 weeks. It just doesn't register sometimes for 4-5 moves which is very annoying and I am looking for alternative. This V3 razer at least have very similar button layout... EDIT: To me surprise, one of the tip I've found on reddit worked - blow air on it/in it while scrolling to dust it off and it works now. If I have to do it every 2 weeks I can live with that, but it remains to be seen how often this needs to be performed. IMO theres something loose around the wheel design and it allows for poor contact and dust to get there.

I really liked the transitions at the start

I went ahead and got the Basilisk V3 after owning the G502 Hero for a few years. This guy is right. This is largely just a better mouse overall. It feels nicer to use due to it's weight, its more nimble, The scroll wheel feels nicer and more precise and is less squishy, it looks cooler with the lighting, and the buttons are in better positions imo. The automatic mode switching of the scroll wheel feels really balanced to me and frees up the button below the scroll for something better. it would've been nice if the profile button wasn't on the bottom but it's not a big deal really considering the above, and profile switching can be remapped to any other button anyway so you can more or less have the same mappings as the G502.

How reliable (and long lasting) is the scroll wheel on these? I have owned like 4 Logitech G series mouse now and literally everyone of those developed erratic scrolling issues within 3-4months of usage. Please reply, I am searching for a mouse with forward-back button and a reliable scroll wheel.

Just ordered a basilisk v3 as my G502 started double clicking, absolutely loved my G502 though

I had 3 logitech mice before I switched to the basilisk v3. All three of them had double clicking issues that rendered it useless. I'm loving the Razer!!

Had to buy a new mouse. Decided to buy both of these as I couldn't decide. Having a good (and WORKING mouse - looking at you Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro! >:( ) is very important to me and if one breaks I still have the other and I do lean toward heavier mice in general but never had a Razor and I think Razor make amazing mouses as well.

Outstanding review as you are really informative and straight to the point. You don't waffle on with meanless BS like so many other people who do reviews on here. You explain at every step why you feel that the V3 is better than the G502 and you back it up with evidence. Hats off for this review as I had both the Razor V3 Basilisk and the Logitech Hero 502 in my online shopping basket. I will now definitely be getting the V3. Cheers bro.

Started with a basilisk v3. Electronic scroll wheel gave out on me within a few months, so every time I’d go to flick in game my weapon would change since it was stuck in free spin mode. Bought a second, and now the scroll wheel has gone out on that one within a year as well, doing the same thing. Just switched to the G502 and I’m loving the extra buttons and mechanical scroll wheel.

what kind of monitor do you use?

WAS LOOKING FOR THIS MY GUY

I always use the tilting mousewheel. Productivity: ctrl c/ctrl v. Gaming: Crouch/prone. Nice!

I got the Razer grip tape for my Basilisk V3, really helps since the top surface is slippery (but leaves no fingerprints ever).

I didn't wanna let go of my plans to buy the 502 cos it looks so cool. But you convinced me, last minute.

nice editing job

I tend to prefer more balanced reviews than this cause this seems very Razer sided but... none of what you've said is wrong. The Basilisk is just that much better to me and much more preferable than the G502. Everything you said I agree. I tried my cousins G502 and didn't like it. Chose the Basilisk V2 and absolutely love it. Its not even broken yet but I'm already getting the V3. Cause the RGB is absolutely 🔥

I dont know about the logitech software side but I absolutely love razer's software. When i bought my first razer mouse which is a viper mini i didnt expect much. but the hypershift feature is way too good. Right now im using the Basilisk V3 and its even better. for the people who doesnt know, Hypershift is like a controller key. for example on the keyboard you have CTRL key or SHIFT key. you press CTRL and C and it copy stuff. it changes the behaviour of other keys. same thing here. I assigned every key to work with hypershift so i can do stuff like changing desktops, change volume music controls, zoom in and out, etc. Scroll wheel side to side will do a skip 5 sec back or forward on videos. best part is since you can add profiles, you can have multiple profiles for every app. when i switch to "Netflix" mode, by default the scroll wheel is volume. middle click is play pause. side buttons are skip 5 sec. it might seem confusing but with profiles + hypershift you can pretty much add 100s of buttons. when you get used to this it becomes super hard to use something else. I dont know if other mice can do this, prolly can, but i bought the mouse because i thought it looked cool and im sticking with it because of the awesome software.

By the way, what is the title of the game that you demo with these 2 mouse?

Just came here because I loved my G502... Until the double clicking became an issue. I'll be doing the switch to the V2 since it's a bit cheaper and really close to the V3 and I've always liked this form factor. I wish Logitech started using optical switches so I could love them again, but in the meantime, I'll go with Razer

Saw this video. Bought the Basilisk V3 on Black Friday 2021. Basilisk V3 LED lights comes faulty on arrival (Red LED light is always turned on) and when contacted support, they took 2 hours to reply using standard template answers and pointless test before mentioning to go back to the distributor.. Very disappointing experience for a new mouse that is launched in 2021 barely 3 months ago.. and also speak alot of the quality of mouse by Razor.

The G502 Hero has 5 onboard memory profiles and not 3 my friend! My G502 Hero developed a double click issue within 2 years. I definitely prefer the Razer optical switches both in terms of tactile feedback and reliability.

By the way, the cable on the G502 Hero has been changed.

does RGB profiles gets saved on the onboard memory as well even if Razer synapse is not working

I literally just bought the Basilisk v2 today! And now the V3 is out?? Damn.. I already have the g502 and I love it I just want the best of the best for FPS games

My Deathadder double clicks randomly more and more for each month. Had it for many years before these issues came. I updated firmware on it (from 1.03 to 1.08) which helped for another year. Now it's back sadly. Swapping my Razer Deathadder for a Razer Basilisk V3!

between logitech g502 hero and deathadder v2 pro which one i should buy

Unfortunately my Basilisk started double clicking within 6 months of using it, and I hoped when I bought it that it would last at least 2 years since optical switches were advertised to last longer but no, no they didn't. So I got a replacement and the replacement started double clicking as well, I don't understand why it's so hard to find a gaming mouse that won't double click. I'm literally about to just start using a cheap $10 dell mouse that'll last forever

Thanks! You actually helped me dicier mice.

I have a basilisk v2, I’ll get a v3 when it breaks cus of the new scroll wheel feature and rgb!

I am in the market to look for mouse with scroll wheel like MX Master. Would you recommend Basilisk V3 for that? I don't really mind whether it is wired or wireless. Also, how is the ergonomics of the Basilisk V3 compared to MX Master?

thank you for the video i wanted to compare them

Best yt review channel out there

I got the g502 lightspeed yesterday and the software doesn't seem to work with it right now. To program the mouse it tells you to turn off onboard profiles but you are supposed to turn them ON, if you click the message that says to turn them off you cna't program the mouse, if you have them turned on it makes you turn them off. WTF?! so at this point I can not program logitech mouse. I don't normally do it anyways but would be nice if I could sometimes.

what is that game your playing?

The G502 is still my go to even though you say the wheel is metal and heavy I actually like the fact that you can flick it and it scrolls almost infinite. It's a lot better than the raser basikisk one and it doesn't wear out because it's metal. Oyeah and it also feels better in my hands because it's larger.

wait isn't the basilisk a manual button to change scroll as well?

Pessoal, muitas das avaliações que vocês veem, são de pessoas que acabaram de comprar o mouse, com pouquíssimo tempo de uso, entretanto acredito que eu seja uma das poucas pessoas que está fazendo esta avaliação com 2 anos e meio de uso. Peço-lhe que se atente aos PONTOS NEGATIVOS que citarei no final. Em quesito ERGONOMIA e CONFORTO esse mouse é IMPECÁVEL, ele realmente encaixa em qualquer tipo de pegada, seja pegada claw, fingertip ou palm. Quando você coloca a mão no mouse, parece que ele abraça a sua mão. É um mouse extremamente lindo e futurista, o que mais me chamou a atenção foi seu design diferenciado. Os BOTÕES são extremamente suaves de apertar e os cliks são ótimos de ouvir, todos os botões são bem táteis e de ótima qualidade (ou achei que seria), quando você começa a usar ele logo percebe que é um produto de qualidade. Sobre o PESO, é um mouse que NA MINHA OPNIÃO é pesado, já que possuí 112g (excluindo o cabo) porém é tranquilo de mexer. O cabo é comprido (não sei quantos metros) e com o material maleável. Partindo para PRECISÃO, é um mouse bem preciso, não percebi nenhum tipo de atraso nos jogos e no trabalho. Acredito ser um mouse que atende tanto quem joga quanto quem trabalha, mas acho que pra quem trabalha pode não gostar do peso. Ele conta com 11 botões que facilitam na hora de jogar, trabalhar ou navegar pela internet. O RGB dele é incrível, no começo eu senti que ele tinha uma fidelidade de cores insanas e realmente ele tem, as cores são bem vivas. Se você escolhe a cor branca realmente é branco pois tem muitos mouses e teclados que o branco não é totalmente branco, é um tom puxado pro rosa ou meio amarelado, já no Basilisk V3 isso não acontece, ele é realmente fiel a todas as cores que você quer colocar nele. Os efeitos de cores são bem legais e diferentes, trazendo variedade de efeitos. Falando agora sobre os PONTOS NEGATIVOS. Estamos falando de um mouse que teoricamente deveria durar pelo menos 5 / 6 anos de uso sem apresentar NENHUM tipo de problema, entretanto este mouse começou a apresentar problemas no scroll a mais ou menos 2 anos de uso. O sistema de rolagem livre começou a parar de funcionar, o botão de acionar a rolagem livre estava começando a não funcionar mais, hora ele funcionava hora não. Quando eu fui pesquisar sobre, me deparei com INÚMERAS pessoas com o mesmo problema. Diversas pessoas mostrando problemas iguais e diferentes no mesmo botão (scroll). Não vi se quer 1 vídeo mostrando como solucionar este problema, lembro apenas de um rapaz ter aberto ele para limpar. Logo após isso, o mouse me apresentou OUTRO PROBLEMA, que foi na parte de iluminação. Ele não estava mais sendo fiel as cores relacionadas ao Razer Synapse, o modo onda não funcionava mais e as cores não estavam mais sendo fiéis as que eu colocava. Depois de alguns dias o RGB ficou fraquíssimo, parando de funcionar e fincando totalmente bugado. Como se já não fosse pouco, ele apresentou um problema que foi o que fez eu tomar a decisão de comprar outro mouse: o sensor dele parava de funcionar. Para melhor entendimento, irei explicar de uma forma mais clara: sabemos que se levantarmos um mouse, uma hora ele não funciona mais, devido a distancia do sensor para com a base. Neste momento, o meu mouse se desconecta e não conecta mais, a menos que eu desconecte o cabo USB do PC e reconecte novamente. O problema está tão desconfortável, que durante o uso eu não consigo mexer, pois não consigo ficar com ele totalmente no mousepad, tendo que fazer alguns movimentos que levanda um pouquinho ele, e acaba desconectando novamente. Isso acaba atrapalhando muito o meu desempenho nos jogos e no trabalho, tornando-se inutilizável. Minhas CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS para este mouse é: pra você que quer comprar este mouse, eu indico dar uma olhada em outros que são bem parecidos, como o Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed e Razer Basilisk Ultimate que é praticamente o mesmo mouse porém sem fio. Outros mouses bons podem ser os concorrentes dele, como o Logitech G502 X Plus que é um pouco parecido com o Basilisk V3 porém com 1 botão a mais. Agora para os que estão procurando um mouse custo benefício e que os reviews são MUITO POSITIVOS, eu indico o VGN Dragonfly f1 Moba, é um mouse mais simples porém não vi 1 pessoa falando mau dele. Espero ter ajudado pelo menos 1 pessoa, valeu.

thanks for the info!

Can I go up and down between DPIs in razor like logitech ?

bro which one is lighter click?

I bought 2 logitech these last years protheus and hero, the first lasted me 3 years and the wheel began to fail, the hero that is the one I currently have has begun to fail the clicks and is only 2 years old. This time I am going to try the razer basilisk v3 it seems that they have copied the g502 and improved in all aspects I do not care that it has fewer buttons

In programmable buttons, technically none of them are good. Logitech doesn't have programmable buttons on scroll wheel up/down only scroll wheel click, while Razer has two buttons behind wheel which aren't ergonomically good in comparison to two Logitech ones which are on the left side of left click

Petite question à propos de la Logitech, est il possible de régler un bouton, de sorte qu'il devienne un "auto fire left click"? Dans le sens où juste en le maintenant, cela simule un auto clicker du clique gauche ? Merci d'avance.

how the lifespan on the little clutch that locks the scroll wheel? i assume thats gotta be the most common failpoint?

hi i know its been years can you tell me if there iis plastic on the mouse feet of the basilisk straight out the box?

Good video, I am choosing a mouse with a good scroll wheel, whether wired or wireless, at the moment I feel this one is better

502 is what i have, forget where I got it but wouldn't buy again. Too many cracks that fill with dirt, it starts double clicking within the first year, and requires toggle macros wired to the side buttons to use buttons consistantly at this point, probably 1.5-2 years in. The left snd right buttons double click but also start letting go of your button holds which makes for lots of frustration especially gaming. There's not really an excuse for a 50-80$ mouse to have a product lifetime of 1 year, 2 if you actively work around the buttons that stop working. The G Hub is the only thing I like better but Synapse has come a long way now

Hey man i have a new basilisk v3 and it keeps switching weappns mid game cod when i lift the control or at random. Can u tell me why? Is it something i can ✋

As a g502 user i agree. The razer mouse is so much better than Logitech. Btw that doesn't mean I'm gonna leave the g502. Nice review 🤩🤩

The hybrid optic on a sniper rifle?

If my 502 dies or something I'm going with the V3 definitely

The Razer Basilisk does not have a pinkie finger resting place, which makes it a no-go for me, and makes the G502 more suited.

What is the name of the game you were playing

I have the Basilisk for web browsing, video editing, and non competitive gaming. Honestly, I don't see myself using another mouse that doesn't have something similar to the smart reel. I wish the sniper button was a little closer to the two side buttons though since my fingers are long enough for me to comfortably use a fingertip grip but it's a bit difficult to reach that button in particular.

I just buy a basilisk v3 after my g402 I had for 4 years. It seems to be a good choice.

When will Razer make a vertical gaming mouse?

i a buying the Basilisk because the G502 is double clicking like crazy and having switch issues

For me the G502 is to go i like hevier mouses i am more of an MMORPG player so the extra buttons at the thumb are great and got it on 70% sale the newest (USB) one so yap it was a nobrainer .

YAY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REVIEW!! 1!1!1

G 502 VS Razer viper which is better?

One of my old roommates had a G502 and I loved that mouse but I had a fully functional corsair mouse at the time. Fast forward to today and now I own a basilisk ultimate because the double click issues on the G502 made me not want to buy one having come from corsair mice that also have big problems with double click / no click.

Love it! I have the Razer Basilisk v2 :)

I own both and the tactile "Smart-Reel" sold me on the Basilisk. The G502 is great but it's heavier and the cable is not as nice as the Basilisk.

is the logitech mouse still worth it

Do you get to keep the units Razer sends to you?

Logitech g502 used an inperfect clone jutsu and created razer basilisk

Man, I love the G502. My original Proteus from 2014 is still working fine with no double clicking issues, but the Hero that I recently got started double clicking within the first two weeks of having it. I was bummed but thankful that I still had my original Proteus, but I ended up buying a Basilisk V3 anyways 😂 I agree with a lot of the points made in the video, it is a G502 clone but a very well made clone that fixes a lot of the issues that I had with the mouse.

No one talks bout the razer bloatware? logitech's software is very confusing, you have to disable onboard settings on the mouse in order to use it?

I have ha a bad history with razor products with buttons, keyboard with a w key that cant be held down, mouse with random double clicks, only after 2 years, while my Logitech g403 hero has lasted me almost 4 years, and im still using it and still has 0 issues

Which razer website is that

The main reason I use G502 for the 2 extra keys right next to the left click. Until Razer has those keys I will never consider anything else other than G502 lineup

Did Razer Basilisk V3 release on September 2021 ?

Can some explain to me how razer is missing 2 buttons on left of lmb compared to g502 but difference is 10 vs 11 buttons? I am stumped here. Just many user definable buttons are there on each of these?

It's such a good improved version of the iconic mouse... it's awesome how they are putting effort and it's even cheaper in my region

Personally I loved the Original Basilisk. I liked the g502 except I hated the 2 bonus mouse buttons because I would always accidentally click them. The basilisk v3 looks amazing, however my biggest gripe is that razer’s software is terrible. They need to completely revamp their software, and make it usable without having to make an account.

wait for the wireless version. that scroll wheel is what i want.

Along with the double clicking on the G502, it will also sometimes not click, nor click and drag.

Man you are the most underrated youtube EVER. How do not have more subscribers?? The quality of these reviews are just immaculate!

Just bought the Razor, extremely good mouse, feeling, speed, RGB, cable... just like You said 🙂

For Geometry Dash (The game I play a lot.), the G502 Proteus Spectrum is better than the Razer Basilisk V3, I have used both and the G502 is better for microclicks and sometimes double clicking can actually come in handy on some levels (Like Sakupen circles.) and also spamming on the Basilisk is also a bit harder, so for Geometry Dash the G502 is better for the game. Any other games I would definitely use the Razer Basilisk V3 though.

I own the G502se i love it! BUT..... I have been having issues with the right click, it doesn't stay pressed while aiming. So I have been looking for a mouse like the G502 I may end up getting the razer now.

How to switch from tactile to hyperscroll for the basilisk? Do i need to install a software?

I literally wanted to buy one of those to. I wasn't sure which one should i go with so i open KZfaq to find some reviews for the basilisk v3 and i literally found this video. It was helpful for me. I think im going whith the razer

which is better the v3 or the ultimate because I am confused why the ultimate is priced more than the v3 but the v3 has better specs

Am i the only one who likes a weighted mouse? I feel like i got more control in micro corrections

Is there a difference between the Logitech g502 hero and the Logitech g502 Proteus core

Why you compare completely diffrenet shaped mice?

My g502 hero definitely does NOT have that heavy cable. Maybe it's different in different countries. Mine has a very thin and bendy cable. It was purchased 2 years ago (quite exactly) in Norway.
