Another category I’d like to see in the future is durability and how long they last, as I’ve heard the basilisk v3 can survive like 3 times the number of clicks as the g502
That's fair. Yeah, optical switches last much longer than regular mechanical switches and you don't have to worry about double clicking issues in the future.
Can you please verify that number? Start clicking now! GO! Seriously though you may want to do a new comparison with the g502 Lightspeed or the X plus has they have optical switches.
I can confirm that g502's number of clicks lasted 1 year before not breaking but sometimes not sensing that the right mouse has been pushed down. As for the mouse wheel, it also suffers this issue.
So about that preference for easy buttons @6:47 , the Razer Basilisk V3 has potentially six buttons on the thumb, ten assignable functions on the scroll wheel, two functions for the right click, two functions on the Scroll Mode toggle button, two more on the Cycle up sensitivity stage button, the cycle profile button can be resassigned and then there an option for additional function to be assigned to left click for a total of something like twenty three functions in the right hand within easy access via Razer Hypershit. Combine this mouse with the Razer Tartarus Pro for access to deeper layers of keybinds with very minimal finger tip travel and peak agility in games or productivity. The Tartarus Pro has button actuation and secondary function on twenty of the keys that can execute two functions on one key press depending on how deep you press. That's something like forty possible functions before hypershifting into another layer of fourty possible functions. Then there's a scroll wheel that can be assigned six more functions. Sixteen functions can be assigned to the thumb stick. The big thumb button can be configured for two functions. I can effortlessly manipulate something like a one hundred and twenty four possible functions at my fingertips between this mouse and the kyapad before hypershifting into another layer.Then there are profiles. Training muscle memory for this setup is like learning how to play an instrument. The only thing a keyboard is good for in my situation is to type a message. Synapse is hardly spoken about because it does not seem to work smoothly or reliably on anything but high performance systems that can effortless spare processing power. It's earned a reputation for being bloatware. But when it does work, it opens up a world of possibilities and functionality that I did not find in other peripherals. Such as making possible an extremely customizable keybind setup between a mouse and keypad that can execute an execcsive amount of functions.
Every logitech mouse I've bought with blue Omron switches has ended up double clicking due to the fragile metal components in the switch distorting over time. If you're a very light clicker it's probably fine but if you go ham you'll have to avoid every logitech mouse lol. My 502 lightspeed ended up in the bin within a few months, fantastic mouse just let down by the switches. The more robust main switches on the basilisk ultimate never miss a beat no matter how badly I use them. Although the button layout on the 502 line is much better as the forward/back buttons are in a more comfortable position for me and feel more satisfying to press. The dpi 'clutch' on the basilisk is essentially a useless gimmick as it's set too far forward requiring you to change your grip position to press it. Despite numerous complaints about the lever still being too short they've never bothered updating it, not even in the V3. Nothing a piece of plastic and superglue won't fix though. The V3 looks really great but I think I'd wait for V3 ultimate even if it is quite a bit more pricey. I'd love to be able to design my own mouse, it would be perfect XD
Great perspective and one that I hear often. I do think the DPI clutch button is well placed for my hands as I could reach it when I need it without hassle but I could see that for many hands it wouldn't work well. Def something to consider when I do match ups in the future. I do think that the Basilisk V3 Ultimate might be the best choice for fans of this style when it eventually comes out.
I also loved the G502 but ... I used 6 G502's in total. Starting with the original up to the G502 Hero as my last one. All ended up double clicking and/or issues with the clicks not holding down anymore. I gave up and switched to the Basilisk V3. I finally can rest in peace. I tried the DeathAdder V2 for a while - a great mouse .. but I couldn't get used to the shape. So .. Basilisk V3 it was.
Yeah i swear ill never touch Logitech peripherals again. Both my G502 and G513 had click issues within the first half year. So sad, Logitech is a great company in general.
Wow, I was kinda in the middle even after watching stuff like LTT but you sold me with this! I'll be going with the Basilisk, probably but I really appreciate the indepth comparison you did. Keep up the great work!!
I decided to go with the Razer V3, even though I do prefer the 2 extra Mouse 1 buttons on the Logitech. However, I already have a Razer Tarturus Gamepad, and I like the idea of having the Basilik v3 mouse software together in Synapse, making it easier to deal with, and having less background apps running.
@@Artaherzadeh It proved to be too small for my hands. I found the right mouse button curves over the side, and my ring finger would readily actuate the mouse button accidentally. I just couldn't get over the constant interference. Also, the right button slopes down too far for my taste. I ended up with the Corsair Ironclaw Wireless. I found it to fit my large hands much better, and it has the best buttons that work best for my use. The right mouse button has an edge that allows my ring and pinky fingers to wrap around the edge, holding it firmly without accidentally pressing the right button. It really is the best mouse I think I've ever used.
Outstanding review,. Delivered without any of the BS you get from other people on here. Although you like the Logitech G502 Hero I will be rolling with the Razer Basilisk V3. Cheers bro
this was vary Helpful, im currently using the G502 but ive decided to get the Basilisk v3 and i personally think ill like the basilisk v3 better then the G502
Glad to hear it. I'll tell you since I made this video, I moved on from the G502 and I use the Basilisk V3 more. I just got used to not using the buttons next to the mouse 1 button.
Same, the Logitech has loose buttons that make an uncanny "Doinggg" when released, the maus is very plastic and it has too many gamer design holes and creases that get filled with dust trapped by sweat after long hours 3d modeling and gaming. The Razer looks more unorthodox with the colors but it has less gaps and rugged covers.
I mirror your thoughts, those two extra buttons on the G502 seem really practical, and buttons on top make more sense than on the side. On the other hand the Basilisk seems to be better at everything else... not sure what I'll do.
I feel exactly the same way. I conclude Basilisk is a better mouse, but I am so wedded to those two buttons by the first (left) clicker. ON the other hand, I am trying to shift my muscle memory by making the Basilisk’s forward and back side buttons like the two 502 buttons next to the left clicking… except I can’t “Shift” those equivalent buttons on the Razer Basilisk simply due to body mechanics of thumb doing the paddle (used for shift) and the forward/back button at the same time. I hope Logitech cranks out an update version of the 502 to bring it up to or past par with the Basilisk 3. For now, I am trying to adapt to the Razer Basilisk v3
The production quality of your video is amazing! And you only have a little amount in of subscribers. Your content is underrated. Keep doing this man. Your videos look amazing. You have a new subscriber. Much love from South Africa
One thing that I almost never see on these reviews is the middle mouse click. I'm not sure about other PC mouses but the G502 middle mouse click fails fairly quickly; Which is a shame because it's useful in the office world for clicking links for an automatic open tab, useful in the productivity world for orbital viewing, and in the FPS gaming world for 'free-look' and other features. That alone is enough for me to switch to the Basilisk V3. The unlocked scroll wheel and side push buttons for the scroll wheel are another great feature. Honestly, the mouse wheel is overlooked nowadays.
Another thing is also the 'grippy' patterns on the sides. The G502 wears down pretty quick, and because of the nature of the pattern, collects dead skin and dust fairly quickly unless religiously cleaned, regardless of how well you maintain and sanitize your hands/mouse.
One year after owning G502 Hero left click started failing (When I would select or drag things, it would fail - really annoying). I was able to return it under warranty and I'm getting the V3 now. Hopefully it won't disappoint.
@@masterfan0 is the free spin good Mine coming in about 3hours I bought a v3 because I have big hands and I have the razer 8khz mice and my hands to big for it I miss click the side buttons and messes me up a lot in fps games
@@masterfan0 I thought the same, let me know few months from now about side grips (sadly Razer used some really weary rubber). Actually would recommend neither, both have pros and cons and are just an ok buy.
I think I would choose logi g502 hero. It's funny because in my early gaming days in my teenage around 2005-10. We always had that image that Razer is the ultimate gaming brand, we use to drool over razer peripherals and mouse pads. Now when I see Razer products it's just not worth it, very poorly build compared to the price. A premium brand can never compromise on quality even if the price tag gets higher because in long that does more damage to the brand than some momentary profits. It's sad to see such a premium brand making so poor quality products.. 😞
from de moment what they did the mamba elite something changed. Idk if they wanted to changes his ideas but almost all products are at a lower price and the quality is SO GOOD
@@Tre2Savage ive had my razer headset for a year now, no problem, my basilisk v2 for 2 years no problems (just upgraded to the v3 as its half price and dont regret it), razer keyboard ive had for a half a year, 0 problems at all... Only thing that has gone over past 5 years which I've had, was the g502 hero
To be honest, I tried a Razer 8K and it didn't fit in my hand and I'll take it back to Amazon. I bought it for $60 with a discount, but when I hold it I feel like I'm disabled and I'll replace it with a V3. As for the Glorios, I now own an O model, and the reason I threw it in the trash is its cheap switches And its components. For Logitech, I owned 502 from 2018 to 2020, and I was also suffering from the problem of switches and the destruction of the indicator. I will take it v3 because Razer has the best type of switches of the second generation with 70 million pressures, and this is my first experience with the Razer A
Let me put in short 'n sweet: 1) for a first few months you'll be happier with Basilisk as those tiny shape adjustments make it a bit more comfy than G502 2) after about 6-8 months, that soft side-grip will wear A LOT on Basilisk leaving smooth area under your thumb which will make it weird and even impractical if you lift the mouse 3) switches - optical have lower chance to fail, the one on G502 have much better feedback; if you're worried about double click, I still have a 2014 Proteus Core and 2018 Proteus Spectrum, I don't hit my buttons and all is perfect 4) infinite scroll - for work such as audio/video editing, scrolling huge files, it's a must, also variable tension on Basilisk is cool but not as useful 5) if you're RGB sucker, Basilisk is the way
Using a G502 Hero SE at the moment, although I like it, I've found to have switched to the Razer ecosystem. I have the Huntsman Elite, Firefly V2 and Nari Ultimate... might aswell treat myself to the mouse and stick to Synapse for my setup. Great video, review and editing! (will let you know how it goes!)
Switched from the G502 to the Basilisk v2 a few days ago. It definitely feels better: better sensor and lighter weight. Only thing I do miss is free spin but it's more so a "cherry on top" feature than a necessary one imo.
I had to replace mouse a few days ago and went to G502, not even bothered the new X variant. Thing is, X is new, so it was expensive while G502 was on constant sale. Also, Basilisk v3 was on the same shop's display. But I did not bother with Razer since buying one from another company means I need to install another software on my already bloated by 'Corsair/Logitech/ASUS' bloated machine. But then again, when I'm going to make another set up, I'll also try out Razer v3.
I've had an original G502 Proteus Core for ages, and the scroll wheel is finally giving out. I decided to get a Basilisk V3 for the MX Master-like scroll wheel, optical switches, and better cable. I really don't like the two buttons to the left of M1 on the G502, since they just get in the way. I accidentally hit them all the time, and I can't really bind them to anything useful because they're in such an awkward location. I also can't stand how the "sniper button" on the G502 can't be assigned as M6, and it has to be mapped as a keyboard button to do anything useful. The last issue is that games don't recognize the G502's horizontal scroll as buttons, so it can't be bound to anything.
I’m watching this from the perspective of someone who has the Logitech G502, and now completing the video I think when my mouse eventually breaks (which, with how much I use it may be soon lmao) I found a good upgrade
Honestly, I would not recommend g502 hero, i bought a year ago, and the switch is already having problems. I just shifted to basilisk V3 and its good so far, feels premium too.
i am using 502x and it is great mouse in low price as compare to razer broken wheel. funny thing is razer using optical switches to resolve double click issues and ended up with wheel issues. sorry never going back to razer again after breaking 8 mouse with same double click issues.
Hi, thanks which used but 'Like New' wireless should I buy (you can recommend other brands and model): Razer Basilisk V3 X Hyperspeed (US$40-50) Razer Orochi V2 (US$45) God bless, Rev. 21:4
For me, I trust the logitech company more. I think some products from razer are pretty overpriced, and you are paying more for the aesthetic instead of quality. I already bought from logitech, I love their products, so I am gonna pick the G502. both great mice
@@randomguyeverywhere6535 i ended up gettting the g502 hero and my brother has the razer basilisk v3, i have to admit that the rgb on that mouse looks awesome
Big mistake. Logitech has gone downhill from where they used to be, G502 is built cheaply... Razer products today are far better quality. I was Logitech user when their products were the best, they're far from it now. Basilisk V3 does everything better while being better built.
coming from g402 that has the same buttons as g502 to basilisk v3. i'm using basilisk for a year now and i just can't live without those 2 buttons i'm going to order a g502 lightspeed since v3 has only wired version. basilisk's rgb is beautiful thou its not enough
Yeah I totally get that. I go back and forth between them since I made this video and it's mostly because of how much lighter it is and the RGB. A good bungie minimizes the wire issue but the g502 continues to be a beast 🔥
I'm on a dilemma. I have Basilisk V2, but need a new one for my Laptop, on which i play Kovaaks(Aim Trainer). I have hard time choosing between this one and DeathAdder V2 PRO.Razer said this is a new sensor. Obviously it has 6k more DPI, but no one cares about this one. Is the sensor improved, in terms of preciouses, tracking, smoothness and so on, or is the same sensor as DeathAdder and Basilisk V2, with just added a bit more DPI ???
I think a bigger deal than the sensor, which would not be enough to notice, is the weight. Almost 20 gram between those two mouse. The trend in FPS is to go lighter. I have the Death Adder V2 and have loved it for many years. Recently switch to basilisk and too early for me to tell. I would say in RTS it’s for sure better. I enjoy the extra button which gives me a lot more flexibility. Ergo on the basilisk feels great too.
I have had both(Basilisk V2) and Razer does it better. I have just ordered the V3. Quite honestly Razer has better keyboards, mice and mouse mats than any mainstream brand. Their audio is terrible.
I currently have a Logitech G502 Here SE and I feel I should mention something about the scrool wheel that I quite like. Right behind the scroll wheel is a switch that allows the scroll wheel to go from a tactile click to a smooth free spinning. It's fantastic when you're doing allot of scrolling and don't want to hear or feel the constant clicking. I like Razer products, but this alone is a reason I might have to go with the G502 Lightspeed over the Bassilisk Ultimate (I know those aren't the exact mice he's talking about, but they're similar enough.
@@rhyschapman735 Not the way the G502 does. The Basilisk Ultimate has a resistance wheel on the bottom that makes it so there is no click or tactile feeling, but it does not have the functionality of the G502 infinity scroll.
@@TheSkyFeds Yes it does... The button on the bottom is to change resistance of tactile clicks, but it can also go free mode. It can even switch without pressing the button if you just scroll faster. You scroll slow, you're in tactile, then you need to scroll more, just scroll faster, mouse switches to free mode and goes like infinity.
Great video bro and great mice models. However, in my opinion and experience, nothing can beat the Razer DeathAdder. It's not without reasons the most sold mouse model in the world up today; and Logitech knows that :).
The 502 has up to 22+ programmable buttons. You forgot about G-Hub or whatever, where you can press a button and get a second command or key or whatever on your buttons.
Nope it would not. I have a friend using that for over a year without any issues while Im using g502 and started getting double clicking issues within a year
Great job. I tried to order the Razer through your link below, but Amazon won't let me order it unless I agree to take their Prime program which I do not need.
@@GamerGear well xD its good to see but bro , like these are not in same category at all . not even a close price and not even a close release date , so its unfair
@@BriZ3l21 I understand your point but the reason for the comparison was that the g502 is the leader in the form factor so many people would consider upgrading from it since they are so similar. The funny thing is that while the Razer Basilisk V3 beats the g502 in many categories, the g502 still wins for many! So all in all, it's just a tool for the curious but I understand what you're trying to say. Thanks for the feedback 🙌
@@GamerGear ig in mouse world , its up to the buyer in the end , like shape and grip , colors and stuff like these , so yeah bro thx for it and keep doin stuff like these 🥳
After my razer basiliks v3 26 000 dpi died and broke on its own with color change when picked up disconnecting and reconnecting and again disconnecting for no reason no connectivity after the pc boots up razer app problems etc i gave up and ordered g502 hero i cant wait to trow into the trash can the garbage called basiliks v3

3) switches - optical have lower chance to fail, the one on G502 have much better feedback; if you're worried about double click, I still have a 2014 Proteus Core and 2018 Proteus Spectrum, I don't hit my buttons and all is perfect
4) infinite scroll - for work such as audio/video editing, scrolling huge files, it's a must, also variable tension on Basilisk is cool but not as useful
5) if you're RGB sucker, Basilisk is the way
Using a G502 Hero SE at the moment, although I like it, I've found to have switched to the Razer ecosystem.
I have the Huntsman Elite, Firefly V2 and Nari Ultimate... might aswell treat myself to the mouse and stick to Synapse for my setup.
Great video, review and editing!
(will let you know how it goes!)
Thanks for the feedback! On the low, I haven't stopped enjoying this mouse. So much so that I've switched to all Razer. Video soon 😆😆😆
@@GamerGear Been using my Basilisk V3.. it's so satisfying!
Especially paired with the Firefly V2!
Switched from the G502 to the Basilisk v2 a few days ago. It definitely feels better: better sensor and lighter weight. Only thing I do miss is free spin but it's more so a "cherry on top" feature than a necessary one imo.
I just got a G502 hero and i rlly like it
Same
@@sjjg6882 how is it now?
I had to replace mouse a few days ago and went to G502, not even bothered the new X variant. Thing is, X is new, so it was expensive while G502 was on constant sale. Also, Basilisk v3 was on the same shop's display. But I did not bother with Razer since buying one from another company means I need to install another software on my already bloated by 'Corsair/Logitech/ASUS' bloated machine.
But then again, when I'm going to make another set up, I'll also try out Razer v3.
I've had an original G502 Proteus Core for ages, and the scroll wheel is finally giving out. I decided to get a Basilisk V3 for the MX Master-like scroll wheel, optical switches, and better cable. I really don't like the two buttons to the left of M1 on the G502, since they just get in the way. I accidentally hit them all the time, and I can't really bind them to anything useful because they're in such an awkward location. I also can't stand how the "sniper button" on the G502 can't be assigned as M6, and it has to be mapped as a keyboard button to do anything useful. The last issue is that games don't recognize the G502's horizontal scroll as buttons, so it can't be bound to anything.
Wow, I'm in exactly in the same situation
Call of duty and a few others actually does recognise horizontal scroll
Better than ever, I would never would have said ever
I see no click sound tests here! I want a gaming mouse that has silent clicks an buttons like Logitech MX Master 3S but it seems impossible to find.
Im so glad that i wished the basilisk for christmas😂
I’m watching this from the perspective of someone who has the Logitech G502, and now completing the video I think when my mouse eventually breaks (which, with how much I use it may be soon lmao) I found a good upgrade
I would take the g502 hero I have used both, but I like the g502 hero more
Honestly, I would not recommend g502 hero, i bought a year ago, and the switch is already having problems. I just shifted to basilisk V3 and its good so far, feels premium too.
Loved the vid bro
I am upgrading from g502 to the basilisk
soundwise g502 and button is better, optical is tinny, mecanical sounds feels better
i am using 502x and it is great mouse in low price as compare to razer broken wheel. funny thing is razer using optical switches to resolve double click issues and ended up with wheel issues. sorry never going back to razer again after breaking 8 mouse with same double click issues.
Just bought one today
Hi, thanks which used but 'Like New' wireless should I buy (you can recommend other brands and model):
Razer Basilisk V3 X Hyperspeed (US$40-50)
Razer Orochi V2 (US$45)
God bless, Rev. 21:4
A retealer advised me to buy the Razer for a fingertip grip.
I m looking for a fingertip mice with 3 lateral boutons.
What do you think about it ?
I have the g502 and the basilisk ultimate, and in my experience, I prefeer the razer
What do you like more about the basilisk ultimate? (I'm assuming you're comparing both wireless versions)
Really Underrated
For me, I trust the logitech company more. I think some products from razer are pretty overpriced, and you are paying more for the aesthetic instead of quality. I already bought from logitech, I love their products, so I am gonna pick the G502. both great mice
I think Razer copied some Logitech's features/designs
@@randomguyeverywhere6535 i ended up gettting the g502 hero and my brother has the razer basilisk v3, i have to admit that the rgb on that mouse looks awesome
@@meepcheep314 Yes, I've seen a lot of video about Basilisk v3's RGB. But in case of performance, are they like the same or what?
Big mistake. Logitech has gone downhill from where they used to be, G502 is built cheaply... Razer products today are far better quality. I was Logitech user when their products were the best, they're far from it now. Basilisk V3 does everything better while being better built.
My Razer Diamondback - new in 2005, just started dropping clicks in 2021. That's 16 years. Just replaced with Basilisk V2.
Nice review
I've been having issues with my basilisk V3 scroll wheel...the clutch system has been acting up...I think it's the software
Your video is insanely good, it would be better if you do more review😊
would be great if you can do more Razer stuff and comparison
Btw I got Razer Basilisk V3
coming from g402 that has the same buttons as g502 to basilisk v3. i'm using basilisk for a year now and i just can't live without those 2 buttons
i'm going to order a g502 lightspeed since v3 has only wired version. basilisk's rgb is beautiful thou its not enough
Yeah I totally get that. I go back and forth between them since I made this video and it's mostly because of how much lighter it is and the RGB. A good bungie minimizes the wire issue but the g502 continues to be a beast 🔥
I'm on a dilemma. I have Basilisk V2, but need a new one for my Laptop, on which i play Kovaaks(Aim Trainer). I have hard time choosing between this one and DeathAdder V2 PRO.Razer said this is a new sensor. Obviously it has 6k more DPI, but no one cares about this one. Is the sensor improved, in terms of preciouses, tracking, smoothness and so on, or is the same sensor as DeathAdder and Basilisk V2, with just added a bit more DPI ???
I think a bigger deal than the sensor, which would not be enough to notice, is the weight.
Almost 20 gram between those two mouse. The trend in FPS is to go lighter. I have the Death Adder V2 and have loved it for many years. Recently switch to basilisk and too early for me to tell. I would say in RTS it’s for sure better. I enjoy the extra button which gives me a lot more flexibility. Ergo on the basilisk feels great too.
me watching this after I just bought a basilisk v2:
interesting
I have had both(Basilisk V2) and Razer does it better. I have just ordered the V3. Quite honestly Razer has better keyboards, mice and mouse mats than any mainstream brand. Their audio is terrible.
Id say steelseries is pretty close with keyboards and mousepads
@@Vokes-gaming SS one of the best gaming audio for sure.
Every logitech mouse I bought felt cheap due to materials they used.
Basilisk v3 is perfect copy of g502 light speed
Seriously. They are so similar! Both great mice!
thanks so much this helped me find my gaming mouse. but im not sure if it can drag click high cps.
I currently have a Logitech G502 Here SE and I feel I should mention something about the scrool wheel that I quite like. Right behind the scroll wheel is a switch that allows the scroll wheel to go from a tactile click to a smooth free spinning. It's fantastic when you're doing allot of scrolling and don't want to hear or feel the constant clicking. I like Razer products, but this alone is a reason I might have to go with the G502 Lightspeed over the Bassilisk Ultimate (I know those aren't the exact mice he's talking about, but they're similar enough.
The basslik has the mouse scroll wheel thing as well which you and do on the app
@@rhyschapman735 Not the way the G502 does. The Basilisk Ultimate has a resistance wheel on the bottom that makes it so there is no click or tactile feeling, but it does not have the functionality of the G502 infinity scroll.
@@TheSkyFeds oh ok thanks for informing me on this delightful info
@@TheSkyFeds Yes it does... The button on the bottom is to change resistance of tactile clicks, but it can also go free mode. It can even switch without pressing the button if you just scroll faster. You scroll slow, you're in tactile, then you need to scroll more, just scroll faster, mouse switches to free mode and goes like infinity.
Razer Basilisk V3 all the way ♥
G502 lightspeed still my favorite . I don’t like the new sniper button on basilisk v3 and also don’t like the new scroll wheel.
Try basilisk ultimate
Great video bro and great mice models. However, in my opinion and experience, nothing can beat the Razer DeathAdder. It's not without reasons the most sold mouse model in the world up today; and Logitech knows that :).
good vid keep up *
Thank you for taking the time to watch it!
The 502 has up to 22+ programmable buttons. You forgot about G-Hub or whatever, where you can press a button and get a second command or key or whatever on your buttons.
Did my man say lead indicators 😂 1:49
I said LED (Light Emitting Diode) indicators.
i Like a Razer Basilisk dud , great mouse.
It's really good. I've since made it my main for gaming with the SteelSeries Prime Wireless as my FPS mouse.
good video keep up
i have both a g502 and basilisk. bought basilisk because my g502 started doubleclicking so i hope the optical switches dont do that
Nope it would not. I have a friend using that for over a year without any issues while Im using g502 and started getting double clicking issues within a year
@@adityasharma1578 thats my point?
@@vilhola2187 yea I meant that optical switches don't have the double clicking problems + better lifespan
Great job. I tried to order the Razer through your link below, but Amazon won't let me order it unless I agree to take their Prime program which I do not need.
All shall have their opinion
Is it Logitech G502 or Razer Basilisk V3
Both are awesomes Mouses and will help you out
75$ vs 50$ bro you can't even compare these two , a mouse from late 2021 against a mouse from 2018 :?
And yet! I still did it 😌
@@GamerGear well xD its good to see but bro , like these are not in same category at all . not even a close price and not even a close release date , so its unfair
@@BriZ3l21 I understand your point but the reason for the comparison was that the g502 is the leader in the form factor so many people would consider upgrading from it since they are so similar.
The funny thing is that while the Razer Basilisk V3 beats the g502 in many categories, the g502 still wins for many!
So all in all, it's just a tool for the curious but I understand what you're trying to say.
Thanks for the feedback 🙌
@@GamerGear ig in mouse world , its up to the buyer in the end , like shape and grip , colors and stuff like these , so yeah bro thx for it and keep doin stuff like these 🥳
this channel should get more subscribers lol
who tf needs so many god damn buttons
a
After my razer basiliks v3 26 000 dpi died and broke on its own with color change when picked up disconnecting and reconnecting and again disconnecting for no reason no connectivity after the pc boots up razer app problems etc i gave up and ordered g502 hero i cant wait to trow into the trash can the garbage called basiliks v3
:D
nah but fr, when in the fucking hell do you need 26k dpi?
Such a nice review from a Lebron James look-alike.
