Our Verdict
Razer Basilisk Ultimate
Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed
The Razer Basilisk Ultimate is a better mouse than the Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed. You can use the Ultimate wired or wirelessly, and it has RGB lighting, more buttons, and a better-performing sensor. On the other hand, the X can be used via Bluetooth and is typically available for much cheaper.
