Can we just take a second do appreciate how the viper line has perfect logo design? If you turn RGB off, there’s no visible branding on the entire thing. It’s so damn clean
ill be honest here for people with large hands. Im 6'9" and i have 22x11 hands which are in the gaming world ginormous and i personally cannot use the viper. Its just too low and small for me it ends up fatiguing my hand to the point it feels cramping. I wanted to love it as everyone else does but i just cannot. The basilisk on the other hand is excellent because its much higher and the ergo fit for my big ass hands makes it usable without this same issue as the viper. Being a bit heavier doesnt bother me as im a goliath anyway so i just wanted to put this on here to help out my large handed brethren. Dont believe all the hype on the viper maybe go into bestbuy and try out the viper first because i just couldnt do it. Went basilisk and never looked back. **edit side note** if you use fingertip grip this statement does not apply to you FYI
@@finbenton ive gone through like 18 mice in the past year the only thing thats felt comfortable for me to use has been an old deathadder which is junk, the basilisk ultimate, and an m4 which i didnt like and has no software. Thus i guess my end game for now is simply the basilisk ultimate which isnt the worst thing by any means its insanely good.
I currently have always used the Naga series of razer... I have the trinity which is a massive 120 grams.. I use it mostly for MMOs but I want a mouse ideally for FPS games, do you think the deathadder v2 would be good? I want the basilisk but I just want that super snappy light weight body, literally the viper would almost weight HALF of what my Naga does...
I was worried about how the Viper would fit my hand as I have always used a Naga(ergonomic) , which is a huge mmo gaming mouse, but I got the viper(ambidextrous) last week and absolutely love it
one question, when you put it in the doc in order to charge it (this goes for both of them) the rgb is on? can you turn it off? i would like to sleep without a disco ball in my bedroom
the moment I saw the Basilisk the first time, I thought of my old G602 mouse from Logi, I miss the darn thing and would love to get the Basilisk somewhere down the line as I feel it'd be the perfect fit for me
@@SKitty1732 I have the 604 now after blowing the G 602 sensor way back when. I have medium to large hands and the G 604 has a slight change in the curvature of the lh shape of the thumb rest which makes the 6 side buttons a LOT more usable and accessible. Your call if it is worth the extra money to you. You may want to play with the grip (I use a mix of claw and palm because I use it to play MWO. Once you figure out how to "snuggle" the mouse into your palm it works like a charm. Hope that helps to anyone looking at these two mice.
Ok Yeah for sure absolutely love the feel of the Viper Ultimate more, especially when gaming. Not sure if it's because I'm just used to the viper ultiamte and tried it first. But yeah Basilisk more for that high sensitivity gaming imo. Feels great with that palm grip.
Thanks man, I've been rocking the basic razer death adder for a while and was looking forward to picking up a new mouse. This review really helped me choose, considering the basilisk is good for people who play a variety of games I'll be grabbing that, not to mention I'm a sucker for FlAsHy LiGhTs.
I should have watched this video before I bought the Razer Viper Ultimate! Under rated review! Gonna get the Basilisk Ultimate now and might just keep the Viper just incase
I have the viper and I can say it is like magic! super light and buttons are crispy. the only downside is if you use more buttons than normal. For me coming from a g502 and having all those buttons at my disposal for grenades, 2 tactical abilities, flares etc, to just 2 easy accessible and 2 on the other side that are hard to get is though.... But if you don't use them, just get the viper. That is my practical advice.
@lokiplus It obviously comes down to preference, if you prefer a heavier mouse that's up to you. Doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of people will have a better performance with a lighter mouse. Check out Aimlab's data.
I've had almost every razer naga. Been using different versions for like 10 years, as my main. It's an amazing mice however every single one of them has broke from me. Either the scroll wheel stopped working, or more commonly, the left or right click would start double clicking on a single press. For me they haven't lasted more than a couple years at a time. As a result I just ordered a basilisk, now where my Razer Naga Trinity just started double clicking, again..
It’s simple For palm grip get the basilisk( i used to use palm grip but then realised that palm is not as good as fingertip or claw ) Fingertip or claw get the viper.
@@whmwilliamhadrianmichael1636 honestly it’s great... Very lightweight and durable. Still works despite the numerous times I dropped it on the hard floor. As to if it is better than the basilisk. I wouldn’t know.
I'm a tip-grip and probably better suited for a Viper, but I did buy the less expensive basilisk mouse and I really love the feel of it. Gotta make a decision on one of the two ultimate versions!
I'm considering the Bass cuz of all the buttons. I like being able to switch things quickly like gadgets or crouch or prone even zoom in & out with the easy push of a mouse button. I'm currently using Logitech's wireless 903 the newer one . The Bass looks like a great runner up . Thanks for all your advice.
I've heard the battery life on the basilisk is like 3-4 hours with the brightness maxed out, that's some trash battery life right there. Guess I'll wait till the next gen.
I've been using a Deathadder for 5 years, but it's finally starting to mess up. The left side grip's glue is coming loose, the scroll wheel is randomly switching, or going up instead of down (really blows for games like Valorant,) and the feet are not smooth and sometimes scrape my mouse mat. I have been leaving razer for a lot of things, I find their keyboards feel hollow, and their padding on the headsets get worn down really quickly. But I will always love their mice. Because of my very low sensitivity in most games, I wanted to go wireless, the wire holds me back more than it would most people. I think it will take a bit to get used to the Viper, after having a more ergonomic Deathadder, but it will be better over time because of the lighter weight. Thanks for the review! P.S - I thought the dock was stupid until I saw your video, never really saw it in a setup, just in product photos. Might pick that up too instead of just mouse only like I originally planned. That seems awesome.
I had used the G502 for years, I tried the Roccat kone pro air which is a similar profile to the viper and just couldn't gel with it at all, I just prefer slightly heavier but more ergonomic mouses, I recently bought the Basilisk ultimate and much prefer it and honestly the charging dock is so much more convenient which I didn't really put too much weight into but now that I have it I couldn't go back to using just a wire. I also had the deathadder before the G502 and much preferred the G502 so we might have different preferences. What I will say is you don't realise how much you can feel the weight difference until you've actually tried it, my Roccat feels so much lighter than even the Basilisk and definitely the G502 which felt like you were moving a weight once you had them side by side with the Roccat, but I still prefer the ergonomics of the Basilisk.
The tactility scroll was the reason my basilisk broke after only 9 months, I wish they made a simpler basilisk with no tilt scroll and no adjustment. I know this is a selling point, but id rather have a simpler lighter mouse that lasts a lot longer.
I have both I'd say I prefer the viper more for shooters. Hands down I have better aim with the viper. Now I think most people will prefer the basilisk it feels better in the hand and it has more buttons plus you can still game great with it. But for me viper takes it.
Definitely going for the Basilisk after this. I prefer palm grip, the smoother finish, the thumb support, the ergonomic shape, the weight, and rgb is always great. This really did make the decision much easier. Thanks a lot!!
Of course i’d go for the Basilisk, But when it comes to comfort and reliability, I’d choose the BasiliskV2 since it’s wired, unlike the Basilisk Ultimate, it’s non-wired.
Hi, have you compare charging time on the dock vs using the usb cable provided? Are they both the same charging speed? Because mine charges slower on the dock compared when i use the usb cable, is that normal? I timed my charging time from 0% to 60% it took about 3 hours +? Please to relieve me of my worries :(
I've had the basilisk for a couple years now and it's honestly too big for my hand T_T Considering buying the viper now...although i do the razer atheris mouse...
The only mouse i've been using is the razer naga, which is longer, wider and a taler, tho just by MM and weighs 120g, so i guess the Basilisk should feel just fine in my hands.
I want a viper but I currently use a g602. I play a claw and fingertip mix. My hands are too big to palm it. So idk if I still want to get a viper ultimate or not.🤷🏽♂️
Before I got my pc, I researched optical vs laser and decided to get the optical mamba TE after like a year I realized the one I got was a laser and the optical mamba didn't exist at that time. So I brought the lancehead optical as I wanted to try a different shape, used it for a couple of months, then switched back to the mamba, as the side buttons on the lancehead are so thin. For the last 2 weeks, my mamba has been having tracking issues. The mouse mat surface makes a difference, it works best on a hard surface but I really don't want to. I would use my lancehead, however, it's locked away at work. So now I'm deciding to get either (all wired) Basilisk, Viper or an optical Mamba. I tried the Basilisk out at the store and I really like the side bit to stop your thumb touching the mat. I also like the lights on the mamba but I'm willing to part from that now. What do you guys think?
Your review is very well-done. I ordered the Viper today as my Roccat Kiro's scroll-wheel is malfunctioning and the serpent was on sale. I hope it'll fulfill my expectations.
in my opinion the basilisk has more of a flashy design whilst the viper focuses more on accurate gameplay i have the viper but the wired version and it's really good but it's mostly preference
@@saltyitalianguy3243 I mean there might be some people that prefer heavy mice but the majority prefers lightweight mice and yes i feel like overall the viper is better but again it's preference
I am about to leave razer because of how they shit on the Naga mouse. This new Naga Trinity is absolute garbage in build quality compared to original Naga. And im a little pissed about it. I just ordered the Basilisk Ultimate and if it doesn't impress then I'm done.
Goodness I wish someone would make a super ergonomic gaming mouse that’s just short (I have very small hands and I claw grip). The razer atheris is alright, it’s just ambidextrous, and a little awkwardly designed.
I was debating on switching out my wired Viper for the Basilisk Ultimate but I feel the weight adjustment is going to be a little too great for me to be able to get used to it comfortably I switched from my Mamba TE to the Viper this year and really miss the RGB the Mamba had going for it.
I have questions, let's hope I find an answer 1. Do you need to have your PC on to charge using the dock or is a power brick fine? 2. If you use the mouse with the wire on, does it charge it as well?
I got the Basilisk Ultimate. Big fan. I use the removable clutch as the "HyperShift" button, and that turns my mouse wheel's scrolls into volume control, and the mouse wheel click into play/pause. I also have the forward thumb button set to "Alt," and the mouse wheel left/right set to "tab" and "shift-tab," for easy window navigation, and the closer thumb button to a low DPI clutch.
@@MemelordSupreme Set the clutch switch to HyperShift, then go to the HyperShift profile and remap the scroll wheel functions to multimedia controls in Synapse.
@@Sylencer1982 Dang! That's awesome! Thanks for the tip! I just did it and kind of dig it. I wish windows would give more precise volume level adjustment, but you can't have it all I suppose hahaha! Thanks again!
I always click the other buttons accidentally during the game. Lol. There's something wrong in my grip. Nice review! I own them both now and I love them both.
Just bought a basilisk. Keep thinking maybe I should get the viper instead but I'm coming from a g503 so I'm used to the formfactor and love it. Hope I made the right choice lol
Just saying: ALL Mice have PTFE Gliders underneat. The glides on the Razer Viper and Basilisk are just white ones. Yes the black ones maybe have another plastik mixed into it, but i was never able to spot any difference.
Man... checking out your content again after about 1-2 years and a lot has changed. Thank you for the great video, your visual shots and editing too me by surprise. Awesome content, really good work!
I have a g903 and have had it for a couple years now. Wasn’t sure which mouse I’d go for here? The basilisk is nearly the same weight as the g903, but not ambidextrous like the g903. The viper is way lighter than both and ambidextrous. Which one would be most fitting going from a g903 to one of these mice? I would like to try the lightness of the viper, but I feel it would waaaay too light for me. I did have the razer taipan at one point but it was just too damn small for me.
Im a pretty big guy(6"2') who used to have the razer mamba(not big) and the g520 and recently got the basilisk, Its slightly larger that the g502 and the ergonomics mean that my large palm grip is well accommodated. I think you'll be fine.
@@lukavanrensburg7041 how much better is than the g502? I have the lightspeed version but i've been thinking of buying the razer, because 1) it has larger buttons (left and right click) 2) its taller (it fills the hand better) 3) the s**** button for dpi on the thumb can be removed. It's worth the change?
7:13 also viper it’s better to put on a plant
compatibility with desk vegetation is a major selling point for me
True it fits perfectly in the plant like a garden snake, I’m sold.
The better snake
The plant might die if u put the basilisk on it
Can we just take a second do appreciate how the viper line has perfect logo design? If you turn RGB off, there’s no visible branding on the entire thing. It’s so damn clean
wow i did not notice this. thx!
The Viper was designed by Batman - true story.
One of my fav parts of it, i really love how it also doesn't scream "gamer", that thing (rgb off) could blend into an office perfectly.
Only true the black viper unfortunately.
And the white version looks sooooooo good

I've heard the battery life on the basilisk is like 3-4 hours with the brightness maxed out, that's some trash battery life right there. Guess I'll wait till the next gen.
I've been looking for something like this
I've been using a Deathadder for 5 years, but it's finally starting to mess up. The left side grip's glue is coming loose, the scroll wheel is randomly switching, or going up instead of down (really blows for games like Valorant,) and the feet are not smooth and sometimes scrape my mouse mat. I have been leaving razer for a lot of things, I find their keyboards feel hollow, and their padding on the headsets get worn down really quickly. But I will always love their mice. Because of my very low sensitivity in most games, I wanted to go wireless, the wire holds me back more than it would most people. I think it will take a bit to get used to the Viper, after having a more ergonomic Deathadder, but it will be better over time because of the lighter weight.
Thanks for the review!
P.S - I thought the dock was stupid until I saw your video, never really saw it in a setup, just in product photos. Might pick that up too instead of just mouse only like I originally planned. That seems awesome.

I also had the deathadder before the G502 and much preferred the G502 so we might have different preferences.

The tactility scroll was the reason my basilisk broke after only 9 months, I wish they made a simpler basilisk with no tilt scroll and no adjustment. I know this is a selling point, but id rather have a simpler lighter mouse that lasts a lot longer.
I have both I'd say I prefer the viper more for shooters. Hands down I have better aim with the viper. Now I think most people will prefer the basilisk it feels better in the hand and it has more buttons plus you can still game great with it. But for me viper takes it.
Definitely going for the Basilisk after this. I prefer palm grip, the smoother finish, the thumb support, the ergonomic shape, the weight, and rgb is always great. This really did make the decision much easier. Thanks a lot!!
Of course i’d go for the Basilisk, But when it comes to comfort and reliability, I’d choose the BasiliskV2 since it’s wired, unlike the Basilisk Ultimate, it’s non-wired.
Hi, have you compare charging time on the dock vs using the usb cable provided? Are they both the same charging speed?

Thanks I still went back to this, 2022. :)
i need to replace my 4 year old mamba because i can barely use it
Razer Mamba wireless is on sale at Walmart for $39.00. Picked one up last night. Can't beat that price.
NSL that’s a steal!
I saw that the razer basilisk ultimate is literally like 8 times more expensive than the regular basilisk
$40 difference......
Deathadder v2 pro or basilisk ultimate?
Basilisk
"On the fence.."
Co&Ca shirt.
Amory Wars books.
Checks out.
I am about to leave razer because of how they shit on the Naga mouse. This new Naga Trinity is absolute garbage in build quality compared to original Naga. And im a little pissed about it. I just ordered the Basilisk Ultimate and if it doesn't impress then I'm done.
Let’s be real who wants all that RGB that’s over 14yrs old
0:36 nice intro!!! only subscribe for that
edited: nice video
What is this for a keyboard? 🤩
Goodness I wish someone would make a super ergonomic gaming mouse that’s just short (I have very small hands and I claw grip). The razer atheris is alright, it’s just ambidextrous, and a little awkwardly designed.
Razer Orochi V2.
A downside is a less flashy design?
I would like to try the Basilisk but until now of all mouses I own my favorite is the wired Viper.
I was debating on switching out my wired Viper for the Basilisk Ultimate but I feel the weight adjustment is going to be a little too great for me to be able to get used to it comfortably I switched from my Mamba TE to the Viper this year and really miss the RGB the Mamba had going for it.
did you own a g502?
This is the best review I’ve ever seen!!! Thank you! I’ll be picking the basilisk for sure. Only wish there was a mercury white version though!
there is white now!
Which is better for valorant?
I've been using a tiny cheap Logitech mouse I got for free for 2 years so I think the Viper would be the better option
I have questions, let's hope I find an answer
1. Do you need to have your PC on to charge using the dock or is a power brick fine?
2. If you use the mouse with the wire on, does it charge it as well?
You do not need pc on and it charges while wired
@@viperl7385 dude thank you so bloody much
I'm kinda thorn cuz he says the viper ultimate is 117mm but on the website it's 126 sooo what should i trust
I actual ended up with the Deathadder V2 X Hyperspeed . Should’ve included this in the video
I got the Basilisk Ultimate. Big fan.
I use the removable clutch as the "HyperShift" button, and that turns my mouse wheel's scrolls into volume control, and the mouse wheel click into play/pause.
I also have the forward thumb button set to "Alt," and the mouse wheel left/right set to "tab" and "shift-tab," for easy window navigation, and the closer thumb button to a low DPI clutch.
How do you assign it to do the clutch switch + scroll wheel for volume? This sounds pretty awesome!
@@MemelordSupreme Set the clutch switch to HyperShift, then go to the HyperShift profile and remap the scroll wheel functions to multimedia controls in Synapse.
@@Sylencer1982 Dang! That's awesome! Thanks for the tip! I just did it and kind of dig it. I wish windows would give more precise volume level adjustment, but you can't have it all I suppose hahaha! Thanks again!
I always click the other buttons accidentally during the game. Lol. There's something wrong in my grip.
Nice review! I own them both now and I love them both.
Just bought a basilisk. Keep thinking maybe I should get the viper instead but I'm coming from a g503 so I'm used to the formfactor and love it. Hope I made the right choice lol
Just saying: ALL Mice have PTFE Gliders underneat. The glides on the Razer Viper and Basilisk are just white ones. Yes the black ones maybe have another plastik mixed into it, but i was never able to spot any difference.
Man... checking out your content again after about 1-2 years and a lot has changed. Thank you for the great video, your visual shots and editing too me by surprise. Awesome content, really good work!
(UNDERRATED RUclips CHANNEL ALERT!!!) - Very informative, fun videos. Thank you very much now I know which will be my next gaming mouse pick.
I got g502 its better
Damn dude, your collection of Coheed t shirts is impressive.
Thanks. Coheed shirts are like half my wardrobe lol.
Thanks for the great review!
Finger Jujutsu. THATS what ive been doing (with the Logitech PRO). Im a Master at it.
great videp it helped to know the diffrences before spending alot of money on them
Brainbean what is that monitor arm your using for your alienware monitor? Thanks, nice video
ItzOwen North Bayou monitor arm
Thanks so much 👍👍
Been dying yo find a good arm for my Alienware 34 inch monitor
High video qualtity but only 80k sub?
Werid
viper is better anyway
Man great video i would love the basilisk to not be that heavy i would now i am forced to buy the viper i dont like heavy mice that much
tbh it isn't that heavy
I had a seizure at the start
I have a g903 and have had it for a couple years now. Wasn’t sure which mouse I’d go for here?
The basilisk is nearly the same weight as the g903, but not ambidextrous like the g903.
The viper is way lighter than both and ambidextrous.
Which one would be most fitting going from a g903 to one of these mice? I would like to try the lightness of the viper, but I feel it would waaaay too light for me. I did have the razer taipan at one point but it was just too damn small for me.
I'm a 6ft 3 guy , i have big hands , will the basilisk be too small or it's fine ?
Im a pretty big guy(6"2') who used to have the razer mamba(not big) and the g520 and recently got the basilisk, Its slightly larger that the g502 and the ergonomics mean that my large palm grip is well accommodated. I think you'll be fine.
@@lukavanrensburg7041 thanks for the answer I'll check it out then
@@lukavanrensburg7041 how much better is than the g502? I have the lightspeed version but i've been thinking of buying the razer, because 1) it has larger buttons (left and right click)
2) its taller (it fills the hand better)
3) the s**** button for dpi on the thumb can be removed.
It's worth the change?
