Our Verdict

Razer Basilisk Ultimate

Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum

The Razer Basilisk Ultimate and the Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum are wired gaming mice suitable for larger hands and all grip types, but the Razer is a better mouse overall. The Razer is significantly lighter, even though you can use it wired or wirelessly with its USB receiver, and it recharges with a more flexible paracord-like micro-USB cable. It has a much wider CPI range, less CPI variation, a lower lift-off distance, and significantly lower click latency. On the other hand, the Logitech feels sturdier, it has a somewhat lower minimum CPI, and its companion software is compatible with Windows and macOS.
