Our Verdict
Razer Basilisk
Logitech G604 LIGHTSPEED
The Razer Basilisk and the Logitech G604 LIGHTSPEED are very different mice. The Razer is a decent, wired-only FPS gaming mouse. It's lighter than the Logitech, and it's particularly well-suited for a palm grip, though people with medium or large hands can also use it with a claw or a fingertip grip. On the other hand, you can only use the Logitech wirelessly. It's an excellent choice for MMO gaming, with six side buttons and 29 programmable inputs. It's also versatile enough to use for work or while traveling. It has a better sensor with a wider CPI range, a lot less CPI variation, and better click latency.
