Our Verdict
Razer Basilisk V2
Marsback Zephyr RGB
The Razer Basilisk V2 is a better wired gaming mouse than the Marsback Zephyr RGB. The Marsback is somewhat lighter and feels sturdier. It also has an interior fan intended to keep your hand cool and dry. Unfortunately, it only has six default CPI settings. On the other hand, the Razer has much lower click latency, a wider CPI range, and a CPI you can adjust by increments of 50. It also has one additional side button, four more buttons overall, and you can assign a Hypershift button to enable a secondary layer of commands. Lastly, the Razer has customization software, which the Marsback lacks.
