Razer basilisk review in Spanish (full analysis)

A good mouse is a fundamental accessory for all PC users, but if there is an especially demanding public, it is the players of the genre of first person shooting games (FPS). In these, a mouse with good precision is essential when it comes to winning, in this sense one of the best proposals is the Razer Basilisk that combines the best optical sensor on the market together with a dedicated button for sniper mode with which you won't miss a bullet. Do not miss our analysis in Spanish.

Razer Basilisk technical features

Unboxing and design

Razer has opted for its usual presentation for the Razer Basilisk with a cardboard box based on its corporate colors. The box details the most important specifications and makes it clear that it is a mouse that has been designed for fans of the FPS genre. We will see if it is at the height of the most demanding public.

We open the box and find the typical Razer greeting and warranty cards.

Finally we see the Razer Basilisk in the foreground. As you can see, it is a mouse based on a high quality black plastic chassis, a material that allows us to achieve a very light weight so that it is very agile when sliding on our mat. The Razer Basilisk reaches dimensions of 124 mm x 75 mm x 43 mm with a weight of 107 grams without counting the cable. The mouse is attached to a braided cable with a length of 1.8 meters and a USB connector.

Razer Basilisk is a mouse designed for right-handed users and with a palm grip, one of the most common grips if not the most. At the top we see the two main buttons, these are in a very accessible position and consist of two independent plastic pieces instead of one that is usually the most common. These buttons have switches designed by Razer together with OMRON of the best quality with a durability of 50 million clicks, making it a mouse that is more than prepared to withstand the attacks of the most gamers, riddling your enemies will not wear it out easily.

Next to the two main buttons we see the two buttons to change the DPI and the wheel, which is rubberized for a better grip on our finger.

We reached the left side of the Razer Basilisk and discovered one of its secrets, a button for the thumb that is used to activate the sniper mode, this mode what it does is to lower the minimum DPI of the mouse to gain precision and not miss a single bullet while aiming at an enemy that is at a great distance. On this side we also see two programmable buttons, a piece of rubber to improve the grip on our hand and an area to support the thumb.

The right side is free beyond the rubber to improve the grip on the hand.

In the back area we see the Razer logo that is part of the lighting system as we will see later.

And we get to the bottom of this Razer Basilisk which is quite interesting. Just below the upper surfer we see a wheel to adjust the resistance of the wheel so that we can leave its hardness to our liking. We go down and see the PixArt PMW3360 optical sensor, the most advanced on the market with an acceleration of 5G, a maximum resolution of 16, 000 DPI and a sampling rate of 450 IPS. This sensor is a safe bet that never fails, Razer has made an excellent decision here. Next to the sensor we see a button to switch between the different profiles stored in the internal memory of the mouse.

Razer Synapse 3.0 Software

Razer Basilisk is fully compatible with advanced Razer Synapse 3.0 software that can be downloaded without problems from the brand's official website. Its installation does not entail any mystery and after connecting the mouse it will ask us to update the firmware, it only takes a couple of minutes.

The Razer Synapse 3.0 application is divided into several sections, the first of which corresponds to all the modules that this powerful application includes and that serve to get the most out of the peripherals of the brand.

We just have to click on the Razer Basilisk to access all the settings for this mouse. The first section is intended to configure your nine programmable actions.

The second section corresponds to the sensor configuration of this Razer Basilisk. It offers us the possibility of adjusting the sensitivity of the X and Y axes independently and totally free from 100 DPI to 16000 DPI so that it perfectly adjusts to our needs. We can also adjust the polling rate to 125 Hz, 512 Hz and 1000 Hz.

The third section is dedicated to Chroma lighting that cannot be missing in all the high-end mice of the Californian firm. As usual, it offers us the possibility to configure lighting in color, intensity and light effects.

Wave: Swap the color scale and make a customizable wave effect in two directions. Spectrum Cycle: Cycles of all colors. Breathing: It allows us to choose 1 or 2 colors and they alternate for several seconds. Chroma Experience: Make a color combination starting from the equator of the mouse. Static: A single fixed color. Custom themes.

Finally we have a surface gauge.

Final words and conclusion about Razer Basilisk

Razer Basilisk has shown that it is one of the best mice that have passed through our hands, something that was already to be expected seeing that it mounts the PMW 3360. To this first-class sensor is added a very ergonomic design designed for the right hand, without No doubt I found it the most comfortable mouse of all I have tried from Razer so it combines the best sensor and an excellent design. Can you ask for more?

Its button dedicated to sniper mode is perfect for lovers of FPS games, this button is very accessible to the thumb so its placement has been simply perfect, its touch is very pleasant with a marked click to avoid being pressed by mistake.

All this under the management of Razer Synapse 3.0, the brand's application that has been renewed to be even better and has undoubtedly achieved its goal by being one of the most complete and very easy to use.
