Razer Basilisk Ultimate Vs Razer Viper Ultimate - the ultimate mouse off
532This is a video to compare two of the most premium wireless gaming mice from Razer - The Basilisk Ultimate and the Razer Viper Ultimate. Both have comparable specs and similar pricing, but they're also quite different, so here I am comparing them and talking about which is my fave and why.
The Razer Viper Ultimate is the fanciest mouse in the Razer Viper line-up.
Highlights of the Razer Viper Ultimate:
- Great battery life (70 hours)
- Convenient charging capabilities (with the dock)
- Comfortable side grips and overall textured design
- Multi-programmable buttons (doubly so with Hypershift)
- Understated design
- Slick feet
Lowlights:
- DPI button is underneath?!
- Side buttons are too recessed and not easy to press
- Charging dock can be a faff
- RGB lighting is underwhelming

The Basilisk Ultimate is my preference though.
This is a nifty mouse with some great features. It has some really cool design features that include an easy to use, RGB capable charging base, a ridiculous battery life, a customisable scroll wheel that you can adjust feedback on and the awesome little paddle.

The Razer Basilisk is superbly accurate. It uses optical sensors (see here - https://www.razer.com/gb-en/razer-focus-plus-sensor) that ensure high accuracy and take away the risk of accidental double clicks.
