Our Verdict
Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED
Razer Basilisk V3
The Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED and the Razer Basilisk V3 are both versatile, full-featured gaming mice. The Basilisk is a wired-only model that's lighter and has mouse feet that glide more smoothly. It also has lower click latency. While both mice have scroll wheels with L/R tilt buttons and free-scrolling modes, only the Razer has a software option to enable automatic switching between free-scrolling and notched-scrolling modes. On the other hand, the Logitech connects wirelessly with its USB receiver or wired with its charging cable. It also feels sturdier and has a more consistent sensor. Also, the customization software is compatible with Windows and macOS, while the Razer software is only compatible with Windows.
