Razer basilisk ultimate review in Spanish (full analysis)

Razer puts all the meat on the grill with its new cordless. The Razer Basilisk Ultimate comes to compete at the highest level with brands like Logitech and its G502. LightSpeed ​​and HyperSpeed ​​face off in a mythical duel. Let's see what the snake offers!

Razer is the Apple of gaming. Their products are strongly focused on high performance and have a unique brand identity from their switches to their mice.

Razer Basilisk Ultimate Unboxing

The packaging of the Razer Basilisk Ultimate follows the premises to which Razer has accustomed us with its high range. It is a green and black box type box with outstanding details in resin. On its cover we have a photograph of the product accompanied by the three-headed serpent imager and model name. In addition we can appreciate several outstanding details:

• Razer Chroma RGB HyperSpeed ​​Wireless Tecnology Focus + 20k DPI 11 programmable buttons 14 customizable RGB Chroma options Customizable scroll wheel resistor

Both sides of the box are green, with the name of Razer on one side and details of the HyperSpeed ​​technology used for Razer wireless mice on the other.

On the back cover for its part we have an infographic that includes a bottom view of the mouse, the slot for the USB receiver and the charging station of the Razer Basilisk Ultimate.

When we open the chest we can see that there is a padding sheet on the back of the lid and we are immediately greeted by both the mouse and the charging station in a black padded mold. When we remove it we also have access to the rest of the contents of the box.

The total content of the box is summarized in:

• Razer Basilisk Ultimate Charging Point Documentation and Stickers Connector Cable

Razer Basilisk Ultimate Skin

The Razer Viper Ultimate has an intermediate weight design, with 107g. It is made of black plastic combining matte and glossy finishes. The razer imager is located on the back of the hump and is visible both in backlight and in idle light. it has a total of nine buttons to customize.

On both sides we have a textured non-slip rubber sheet also in black. This same rubber can be found on the scroll wheel although with a different finish.

Switches and buttons

The available side switches on the right have the same gloss finish as the top trim strip. They are of good size and have an acceptable separation between them so as not to press them by mistake.

A little further on, on the same side, we have a piece of rubber that covers the possibility of setting an additional toggle button. This can be programmed both to set the DPI, profiles or macros and other functions through the Razer software.

Continuing on the right side, this right-handed mouse has a flap to rest your thumb on. It is a support that palmar grip users will especially enjoy since people who use claw restraint do not usually keep their thumb so low as to support the pad of the finger on the rubber.

The scroll wheel on the other hand has a non-slip rubber coating with notches and two side bands for the backlight. Right behind it we have two DPI switches to increase or decrease the amount of them.

Moving on to the base but continuing with the scroll wheel, here is the possibility to adjust the hardness of its movement from extremely fluid to notch to notch.

Immediately below and surrounded by a white surfer we have the 20, 000 DPI optical sensor. We can also see a switch to the bottom left to vary between profiles and the manual on / off button of the mouse.

For its part, to the right is the compartment to store the US B mouse receiver. Once stored inside, it has the peculiarity of remaining immobile and not generating any noise with its use.

In short, the base of the Razer Basilisk Ultimate features six total surfers with rounded edges that optimize your glide. It is also possible for us to read your serial number along with other details such as the European Quality Certificate.

Charging station and cable

The charging station will probably remind you of the Razer Viper ultimate, since they both have a common function and structure. Here, too, we can see the Razer screen-printed logo.

In the upper area we have the two contact pins to place the mouse on them and charge it while it is not in use. Something higher we have an input for the USB receiver and in turn in the back we have available the micro USB port for the cable.

When the Razer Basilisk Ultimate is in charge, it presents an inclined position that is already favored by the shape of the charging point.

Regarding the cable, it can be connected to both the mouse and the charging station. It is lined in fabric and has both ports reinforced with PVC. A nice touch is that the micro USB connector has the word “top” engraved to indicate how it should connect both to the momo charging point and to the mouse on the front.

The mouse connection is partially inserted into the lower structure, so that the low flexibility reinforcement does not affect the freedom of movement of the cable.

Putting Razer Basilisk Ultimate into use

It is time to test this wonder regardless of its usual technical characteristics.

Ergonomics

The thumb spoiler is a nice support that adds extra support and adds extra comfort.

Sensitivity, acceleration and DPI test

A classic among our analyzes of mice. We set the DPI to 800 points and make two trace tables: one slow and the other fast. There are no large jolts or notches in the cursor movement, so we conclude that the sensitivity of the Viper Ultimate is extremely fluid and we have not perceived a sensation of jittering or jumps during use.

For those users who tend to lift the mouse a lot in between games, you will be happy to know that within the software we can adjust an Intelligent Tracking parameter in the Calibration section to establish the distance from which it stops transmitting motion once rises from the mat.

This performance is due to HyperSpeed ​​technology. It was directly compared to Logitech's Lightspeed and guarantees up to 25% faster transfer speed , as well as a more stable transmission. This has allowed to offer a mouse with a higher DPI (up to 20, 000) and a higher IPS (650), which translates into a better resolution precision of 99.6% (better than the current champion's 99.4%).

We also haven't experienced any latency issues, and even when using the Razer Basilisk Ultimate wirelessly with 100% illumination, its battery is 37% after three days of use. This is without having returned it to the charging station, so the advantage of having it connected is that you can place it in it after each use and never find yourself without a battery.

RGB lighting

Many of you already know how the Razer Chroma system and its RGB lighting are doing. Although in the Razer Basilisk Ultimate we have five profiles to save, unfortunately we cannot establish lighting patterns in them. Or rather, if the computer to which we connect it does not have Razer Synapse installed, we will only have the RGB rotation by default.

Something to note is that not only the Razer Basilisk Ultimate has RGB lighting. Its charging station also has a backlit strip along its entire base. There are never enough lights!

software

Razer Synapse is one of the most complete gaming software on the market, although it needs to be constantly active to function efficiently, so it tends to consume resources. The first time we connect the Razer Basilisk Ultimate it may require an update since it is one of the latest models from the brand.

In Razer Basilisk Ultimate we find five sections:

1. Customize: button settings and Hypershift. Performance: five fully customizable DPI settings and three possible polling rates: 125, 500 and 1000. Lighting: we regulate brightness intensity and effect pattern. We can create custom modes. Calibration - This is a section for the surface of the mouse pad. We can use the default (highly recommended) or form a totally personalized profile. Power - Power saving options and mouse shutdown while idle.

It is also possible to choose between Quick Effects (by default) or Advanced Effects, for which we must install the Chroma Studio module.

Final words and conclusions about Razer Basilisk Ultimate

Something we have to tell you, is that with mice like this skepticism towards wireless models is totally unjustified. The Razer Basilisk Ultimate comes as a heavyweight to the gaming industry. The main switches of this mouse are the Razer Optical, which acting by interrupting the light beam gives an extra reaction speed beyond the initial click of its switches.

Regarding the software, you already know our conclusions about Razer and user customization. Absolutely all its buttons are configurable, and even some of them (like the scroll) allow you to make adjustments to the hardness of the wheel in the lower area of ​​the mouse itself.

The quality of the materials, finishes and attention to detail make this a first-class mouse and offers everything a demanding user can expect from it.

As it could not be less, lighting through Synapse Chroma leaves absolutely nothing to be desired by the most fanatical of the little lights, either with the preset patterns or those who want to create from scratch. The possibility of customizing and setting all the buttons in a total of five different profiles is what ultimately makes us notice the fact that we can get to make the mouse totally ours.

Razer Basilisk Ultimate is released with a price of € 189.99. We are aware that many of you will throw your hands to your head at the prospect of a mouse of almost € 200, but we must keep in mind what it is designed for. Basilisk Ultimate is designed for use in professional E-Sports and features its HyperSpeed ​​technology versus Logitech's LightSpeed. In fact, observers will notice many similarities between the high-performance models of both brands. Personally, we consider that the competition is good in the market, especially in the field of gaming since it favors not only a struggle to constantly improve but also price rivalry.
