For a quick comparison with the regular Basilisk, the Basilisk Essential doesn't come with the scroll resistance dial and doesn't havr RGB, rubber padding on both sides are patterned differently, and the clutch button on the side only comes with one length instead of two. Other than that it's all the same unless you're an alien navigating the screen with 16k dpi
Poorly marketed, but this mouse is top tier. Better than the G502 in every way, probably one of the most comfortable shapes, the tensioning system on the scroll wheel is insanely useful, and it's finally lighter than 100g, plus the paddle is the best implementation of a sniper button ever
Add Synapse 3 support for older products before introducing new ones. The fact that there's two Synapse apps running at the same time is mind boggling.
true. i mean im a big razer fan but. theyre selling their mercury white set so proudly, yet, the headphones (Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 Mercury White) is NOT supported in Razer Synapse 3.0 while the mercury white mouse and the keyboard is.
+TacticalAleX: Yeah its almost as bullshit as trying to sell a single programmable button as a revolutionary invention while my Razer Lancehead TE Mercury White has 4 additional buttons. But for realsies I dont want 10 fucking Synapses running how incompetent must they be. Even more so - have they EVER said theyll make it so that the old stuff works with Razer Synapse 3.0? Cuz right now it seems like they only do it for the new shit and the old one will never be moved over. Are they rly expecting the customers to stay if this shit keeps going on like this? Oh I get it - "Just buy the newer product dumbass!!" I guess thats why they didnt port my headphones from Razer Synapse 2.0 to 3.0. Because they were launching new version really soon. But the same cant be said about my mouse or keyboard. Also.. Synapse 3.0 thinks my keyboard is black. While actually its white. Not that big of a deal Id just like the picture in the app to show the correct goddamn color. It does for my mouse. Why not keyboard? Fuckin mess. Tbh it IS a big deal for me. I bought it cuz white is prettier. I want the picture to be prettier too dammit.
+OTF Fallen: hello. Synapse 3.0 has a much better user interface and more options. And things are done alot easier there and despite it being a newer version which means ud expect more bugs, I know there are some bugs I encounter but... The general experience feels less buggy and much easier to do than on Synapse 2.0. Synapse 3.0 is better. I could go into details but it would be too long of a comment. Sure Synapse 2.0 gets the job done. But 3.0 is an upgrade, its better. Especially if u go to settings and you set its theme to White (which u cant do on 2.0) the UI becomes even more cleaner and easy to use.
Name one other mouse that has a side paddle like the basilisk. There is none. Side buttons sure but the paddle is way easier to use as a dpi clutch or push to talk than a normal side button
they were advertising the paddle clutch on the side of the button, they already have a mouse with a lot of buttons on the side since the early 2000's, must be a slow day at your end huh?
Hey Razer..just wanted you to know that I am still using the mousepad and mouse(sorta) that I won from one of your competitions a long time ago....maybe 2007-2008ish? It was the one where you and friend had to explain teamwork or something. We won a Razer Destructor which I am still using to this day and still using the Death Adder. I have gone through 3 of them so far but I tried the one you guys sent me and I've used it ever since.
Lord Vader Yeah thats true the shapes are quite similar. I tried the basilisk that came out a while ago (Better grips than the essential imo) and it felt more comfortable than the G502 because of the rubber grips. Nothing can beat that infinity scroll wheel tho, great for bhopping in csgo
This mouse is really nice, except my pinky and ring finger keeps scraping the mouse pad, and i just simply can't find a comfortable grip stlye. I have tried absolutely everything to make this work. My hand hurts after like 10 minutes of gameplay.
Bro i cant even use that button it doesnt work for me i go to options and keybinds on fortnite and go to push to talk and it doesnt work when i click that side little thing
@Galaxi It's been said by the community that the shape and the button placement of the basilisk are really close to the G502. If you are ever to look for a G502 alternative, it would be the basilisk. It's lighter than the G502 as well. If you test it out once then you'll probably know why the community has been saying it's similar to the G502.
Seems like the Basilisk with a single length removable paddle, a 6,400 DPI optical sensor and less the scroll wheel resistance but at a much cheaper price.
Wiler Prime just saying the 2018 probably resembles the g502 but anyways it kinda does feel like the g502 but all I can really say is the razer basilisk and basilisk essential are 2 fucking god like mouses for fingertip grip like you get no joke godlike aim (as long as you have some sort of skill

yeah , i learned to not give razer any money on the account that synapse is still a buggy mess of a program . what good is so many options when you cant get the program to asign them to work properly. the 1 good thing about razer is that you dont need a receipt to get a replacement wich is convenient when your headset sudenly stops working after 15 months
the fuck did you do with those mice. mine last so long from them. stop treating products like shit when you rage in a game and maybe theyre going to last longer.
Nole my g502 experience was not very pleasant though, the buttons are just very stiff and the metal scroll wheel is probably the worst implementation. Stay woke
The g502 is too heavy without added weights, it feels cheap, and uncomfortable, it has a really obnoxious design, and the software is worse than razers. The software doesn’t even show up properly on 1440p and 4K displays. I have the original Razer Basilisk (still better than this new one) and I love it. I actually bought both the g502 and Razer basilisk and I hated the g502. The cable on the g502 is complete ass. The Razer cable is so light, quality and durable. The mouse looks amazing, mute, but with nice RGB. The software is never buggy, works perfectly. And there is a perfect amount of buttons. Not to much, not to little. I’m not a Razer fanboy, nor a Logitech hater, but I hate how people are so fucking overhyped about this garbage overrated Logitech mouse.
Lord Vader for the price you can get something else that is very similar but *way* better. I had the budget of getting a mouse that was $200, but I got this Razer one for $50. That’s how good it is. I also gave the g502 to my brother and he doesn’t like it either. It may not be as bad as a cheap $15 amazon mouse, but it doesn’t feel like $50 either. And $50 is cheap for a mouse.

why not remake the naga? or add a blackwidow with LOTS of extra macro buttons (instead of taking them away).

well thats kinda cute.
How can i configure the smalls buttons and the snipe button ??? Please
One question what is the difference of normal and an essential product
A g502 competitor? Or a g502 copy?
Its completely different, imo the naga trinity would be razers competitor to the 502 because of the amount of buttons and stuff.
FEAR It’s really not different. The shape is very similar. This is definitely a copy of the g502.
Lord Vader Yeah thats true the shapes are quite similar. I tried the basilisk that came out a while ago (Better grips than the essential imo) and it felt more comfortable than the G502 because of the rubber grips. Nothing can beat that infinity scroll wheel tho, great for bhopping in csgo
Is it with razer optical switches ?
Los botones laterales y el de DPI dejaron de funcionar de un momento a otro los drivers están actualizados no se qué pasó alguien sabe que podría ser?
Oh man I got the razer mamba elite just few days back .. should have waited I guess
@Calocitey hmm . Ok. Thanks for telling.
Did anyone notice that when they list the things you can assign to the button they repeat Charging
So should I buy this mouse or the normal basilisk?Which is the better bang for your buck?
None of them
Essential is cheaper but worse, so buy normal version
Wheres the Blackwidow TE V3 Chroma @?
This mouse is really nice, except my pinky and ring finger keeps scraping the mouse pad, and i just simply can't find a comfortable grip stlye. I have tried absolutely everything to make this work. My hand hurts after like 10 minutes of gameplay.
