Our Verdict
Razer Basilisk Ultimate
Razer DeathAdder V2
The Razer Basilisk Ultimate and the Razer DeathAdder V2 are great gaming mice and use the same sensor. The Ultimate has an ergo-shaped design with a thumb rest. It’s a little more versatile, as it can be used wirelessly with its USB receiver and has more programmable buttons. It also has a scroll wheel with L/R tilt buttons and a free-scrolling mode. On the other hand, the V2 is lighter and a bit smaller. Both are well-suited for most hand-sizes and grip types, except for smaller hands using a claw or a fingertip grip.
