Razer Basilisk V3 X HyperSpeed: What Real Users Actually Think

96.362g with everything.

It's not worth it to pay a premium price for something you have to mod to get it to a decent weight. Regardless shape is king and this mouse will sell.

Between the 2 definitely Hyperspeed. Rtings you need to look at all the actual details of the data. The click and sensor latency is basically the same, and the Hyperspeed is wireless. You gotta look at only FPS and Raw Performance mainly.

Yeah I daily drive it and it's awful. Constant disconnects, weirdness with the dongle, etc. The entire reason I'm on this subreddit is to find a good replacement.

Very very good value for its quality and features.

I had all 3 including the old Hyperspeed. Old X Hyperspeed had connection issues. V3 wired I never liked the clicks on it. X3 X Hyperspeed worked perfectly and I liked the clicks. So out of those 3 I'd pick the new Hyperspeed. It's more of a productivity mouse than a FPS mouse due to its larger size and weight.

Do not buy this version! It has widely known dropout issues that firmware updates never fixed. There is a v3 hyperspeed version that looks the same, except the scroll wheel is RGB and it has a sniper button on the side. I would recommend that over this version for sure.

I had just ordered the g502 wired from Amazon this morning for $55, but I like this deal better. Cancelled my other order and bought this Razer instead.

Darn, it's not rechargeable.

I prefer using these with a rechargeable battery. They last months and are more flexible than the built in battery ones.

It lasts just over a month consistently, the RGB really doesn't make much difference to the battery life although I have never tried to run it without because over a month on a single battery is fine for me.

Mouse is well made, no any signs of production cost optimization, it looks clear and great. The ergonomic is cool, but I spent too much time using g305, so I need some time for adoption. Click and wheel spin is fantastic, optimal tactile feedback and sound.

I've got this very same mouse. I also have Razer Viper Ultimate and Razer Cobra Pro. One interesting observation when comparing Bluetooth connection between RAZER BASILISK V3 X HYPERSPEED and Razer Cobra Pro: the smoothness of cursor is really much better with Basilisk V3 X.

I have a basilisk v2 x hyperspeed for almost 5 years now, I'm surprised it still works really well. If I'm gonna get a new mouse I will definitely get the v3. The form factor is just perfect for me.

I bought it and I found out that although it's mostly great, I dislike that the battery cover is a little flimsy. I can feel it shifting around slightly whenever I use it and it throws me off slightly.

I have one and I enjoy it but I'll be switching back to wired when I upgrade, and not getting a Razer mouse but instead a 3rd party one that offers more value for the cost.

Bought the V3 HyperSpeed, works perfectly. The clicks are somehow better than my wired V3.

FYI V3x Hyperspeed has a big downgrade in the scroll wheel - both tilt scroll and free spin are removed.

Found this out the hard way. The marketing jargon got me.

I have the v1 as someone said it had a phase of disconnection I just updated firmware and it went away. Also get rechargeable batteries and AA shell if you want AAA batteries else foilball.

I've had mine since 2020, still in use today. Like others, I would say 2.5 to 3 years in to use, it would randomly disconnect and connect while in use. That developed into needing the battery to be taken out and then put back in again for it to connect.

I'm having random disconnects with mine. So annoying. It's also draining battery like nothing. Personally I'll be looking for other products. The disconnection is frustrating when working or playing games.

I like it a lot. I recommend the wired one since I heard that wireless is not that good.

I would advise against recommending this piece of garbage as it's well documented that it has issues with choppiness with varying success rates of fixing the issue. If you like your mouse to freeze every 10 to 30 seconds for 1 to 3 seconds then by all means, enjoy it.

I own 3 and have no clue what you are even talking about. All 3 have been great.

I don't know if I bought a defective one but I'm honestly so disappointed with mine. I barely use it since I don't really game anymore. After a few months it suddenly turns off and turns back on randomly. Now it doesn't light up anymore. Honestly don't trust Razer products anymore after this.

I just bought this and it is a game changer. I have massive hands and it's sooo comfy. Grab you a cheap set of rechargeable batteries AA with a charger and you are set!

Literally in the same situation. Stylish looking mouse but plagued with constant dropouts. Plus I've had to manually stretch out the copper within the mouse switches due to double clicking issues multiple times.

Got mine last year and it broke yesterday. Barely used it except when tinkering with my steamdeck in desktop mode. Probably used it a total of 12 hrs. Not recommended.

They are very prone to breaking. Quite a cheap and nasty mouse relative to modern mice standards.

I've tried out this mouse for about 2 weeks, the battery doesn't last as long as g502 lightspeed, I'd say about half of G502. And no infinite scroll wheel.

I bought this to get away from logitech garbage. It feels almost identical to a g502, been using it since black friday 2023 and no issues at all so far.

I have a basilisk v3 pro and I genuinely use the smart scroll wheel constantly. I'm pretty sure this version doesn't have that though so I'd say it's unremarkable.

Never had any issues with connection, unlike the V2 which was awful. Overall this is a very solid budget Razer mouse.

Owned X hyperspeed, overall decent, comfortable, good battery life. It didn't connect on a couple of occasions. Haven't used it since getting the ultimate and v3 wired.

I'm still using mine and have been since 2020. Not a single issue with this mouse other than the first one that stopped working within 2 months. Ever since that RMA this thing has been heaven to use. I've been gifted the Naga V2 Pro a couple months back and I haven't even taken that thing out of the box because of how much I love this mouse.

I also have mine since 2020. I had to replace the right click button with a soldering iron after 2 years, but it was fairly easy. One thing that annoys me is that the rubber on the left side is starting to crumble. Other than that I think it is a great mouse, very comfortable, long-lasting battery and sober without useless RGB.

Had my basilisk x hyperspeed for around 2-3 years now. Battery life is ridiculously good, only have to change them around once every 3 months. I use some IKEA rechargeable batteries. However I do have this issue when it completely disconnects for around a second, which is a bit annoying but that's the only issue so far.

I had mine for close to three years. Every 3-4 months, it needed a new battery, which was completely fine for me. However, problems started occurring shortly after the warranty expired. Random disconnects became a frequent issue, requiring me to unplug and plug in the battery to restart it. This problem persisted, causing major disruptions while playing competitive shooter games.

My Basilisk X hyperspeed finally died today after 6 years of service, something finally fried and now it will rest peacefully in my crate of unused mouses and airpods.

The same thing happened to me until one day it never turned on again. Now I'm looking for alternatives.
