Our Verdict

Razer Basilisk V2

Corsair GLAIVE PRO

The Razer Basilisk V2 is a better wired gaming mouse than the Corsair GLAIVE PRO. The Razer is a bit lighter, has a much better cable, lower click latency, more programmable buttons, and a higher max CPI. The Corsair has better software that works on both Windows and macOS and has three side panels that allow you to change the grip and feel of the mouse. The Razer is suitable for any hand size with a palm grip, while the Corsair is suited for any hand size with a claw grip.
