Razer Basilisk Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2017-12-24

Since the Basilisk is aimed mostly towards FPS, we have tested it in titles such as Quake Champions, Battleborn, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and DOOM. After calibration, the mouse performed excellent thanks to the modded PWM3389, which supports up to 16000 DPI, in increments of 50 and starting at a minimal value of 100. Considering that Synapse 3 is a beta software, we were surprised to find out that it was quite stable on our system and we have not experienced any crash during the test period. We are also seeing the Hypershift function which is similar to the Easy-Shift[+] employed by ROCCAT and layered LED lighting options in the Chroma Studio for even more interesting LED lighting effects.

Razer Synapse 3 Beta Part I

For an unknown reason, Basilisk is not supported by the Synapse 2 final software, but only by the Synapse 3, which is currently in Beta status; this new software does include a different looking software interface and from its Dashboard we can access the main resources:

Basilisk has been detected correctly and different menus are available for us to work with; within the Customize menu, we can change the default mappings of all buttons:

Hypershift from Razer is similar to the Easy-Shift[+] function we have seen many times before at ROCCAT and it practically adds a secondary function to each button:

The functions we can choose from will appear on the left side of the interface:
