On balance, none of these shortcomings stop me recommending the Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed. Still, it only happened once in a week, so I wouldn't think it's a systemic problem. It only took me 10 seconds or so to reconnect-I turned the mouse off and on, then removed and inserted the dongle, and all was fine-but at the wrong moment it would've been really frustrating. If you're not running Synapse on your PC, you'll just have to guess.Īnd despite how pleased I am with the wireless tech, it once lost connectivity altogether. Instead, you have to rely on Razer's Synapse tech, which pops up every time you switch sensitivity.
You can switch the DPI between five custom levels by hitting a button near the scroll wheel, but there's no colour indicator to let you know your current setting. The mouse also lacks RGB lighting: With a lot of Razer's mice you can choose the colour and effect of the light-up Razer logo, but there's no light to speak of here. It's impressive where it matters most: performance, comfort, and battery life. Personally, I don't ever use more than two extra mouse buttons, but it'll be a dealbreaker for some. It only has two programmable side buttons, which is less than, say, the Logitech G604 Lightspeed, another wireless mouse in the same price bracket. The lack of customisation might put some people off, too. It wasn't loose at all (unlike the mouse buttons, I couldn't wiggle it side-to-side), so I couldn't tell what was making the noise, but it made the mouse feel a bit cheap. Also, whenever I picked the mouse up and moved it around, the scroll wheel area rattled. By prodding them gently you can really make them tilt, which makes me question how long they'll last. However, they do tend to move laterally at the slightest sideways pressure. One of my few gripes with the Viper Ultimate was that the buttons felt thin and flimsy: these buttons are thicker, and they even sound less tinny.

The mouse buttons-two primary, plus two programmable on the side-feel reassuringly sturdy when you press them. The scroll wheel is tuned perfectly: it's never stiff, but you can still feel the individual clicks as you turn it, so you always know if you've applied enough pressure. That's not quite as good as the Viper Ultimate (20,000 DPI, 99.6% accuracy), but it's still impressive, and it can track up to 450 inches per second: for comparison, the G502 Lightspeed is only rated up to 400. You can ramp it up to 16,000 dots per inch (DPI)-the same as the pricier Logitech G502 Lightspeed, our favourite wireless gaming mouse-and Razer claims 99.4 percent sensor accuracy. The sensor on the mouse's base shows no signs of corner-cutting: its specs match those in the more expensive Razer Deathadder Elite, arguably the best gaming mouse on the market. But does its reduced price come with important compromises?
No matter what I threw at the Basilisk X Hyperspeed, from shooters to strategy sims, it felt lightning quick, and I never detected delays between my clicks and what happened on screen. In practice, as I said in my Viper Ultimate Review, that translates to ultra-speedy performance and near-zero latency. Razer claims the technology is 25 percent faster than any other wireless tech.
