Our Verdict

Razer Basilisk

Razer Mamba Wireless

The Razer Basilisk and the Razer Mamba Wireless are somewhat similar, though the Mamba is a bit more versatile as you can use it wired or wirelessly. Both mice are about the same size and weight, with great build quality and amazing comfort. They are well-suited for a palm or a claw grip for most hand sizes, but only people with extra-large hands can use the Mamba with a fingertip grip. The Mamba also has slightly better click latency, though both mice use the same sensor. That said, the Basilisk has one more side button.
