Our Verdict
Razer Basilisk Ultimate
Razer Basilisk V3
The Razer Basilisk Ultimate and the Razer Basilisk V3 are similar mice in Razer's Basilisk lineup. The Ultimate is an older version that connects wirelessly with its USB receiver or wired with its charging cable. On the other hand, the V3 is a newer, wired-only version. It has better quality mouse feet and a higher maximum CPI. It also has an additional RGB area with nine independent RGB zones that wrap around both sides and the back, casting light under the mouse. Both mice have scroll wheels with free-scrolling modes, but the V3 has an option to enable the feature automatically, depending on how quickly you scroll.
