Our Verdict

Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed

Swiftpoint Z

The Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed and the Swiftpoint Z are both good, multi-genre gaming mice. The Razer is wireless only and connects with its USB receiver or via Bluetooth. It's a bit lighter and feels sturdier. It also has mouse feet that glide more smoothly, a more precisely adjustable CPI, and lower click latency. On the other hand, the Swiftpoint Z is wired-only and has seven additional buttons plus extra inputs from pressure-sensitive controls and tilt functionality. Additionally, it has a more consistent sensor, an OLED screen, haptic feedback, and a thumb and pinky rest.
