Our Verdict

Razer Basilisk Ultimate

Corsair GLAIVE PRO

The Razer Basilisk Ultimate and the Corsair GLAIVE PRO are great gaming mice. While the Corsair is wired-only, you can use the Razer wired or wireless. The Razer is suitable for all hand sizes with a palm grip, while the Corsair is best with a claw grip for all hand sizes. The Razer comes with a less stiff and rigid cable, has a lower click latency even when used wirelessly, has more buttons, a lower lift-off distance, and a slightly wider CPI range. On the other hand, Corsair's software is fully compatible with Windows and macOS.
