Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed ​​review

A plan to remove cables from your desk and keep it tidy.
"Always use a wired mouse!' said FPS gamers.
Wireless mice have a slight lag or delay in input.
The outcome of the game can be decided by even the slightest difference in input, a difference of just a few thousandths of a second.

I understand that feeling, I totally understand it.
This is because fighting game players also become increasingly nervous on a frame-by-frame basis.
However, I only play FPS games casually.
This time thisRazer BasiliskThe reason for purchasingTo keep your desk tidy'.
So, rather than being written from the perspective of an FPS gamer, I'd like you to think of this review as being from the perspective of a gamer who also plays PC games that use a mouse.

As a use
・PC games that use a mouse
・Desk work including clerical work

I bought it with the surrounding area in mind.

Well, that was a long introduction, but let's get started on the review of the Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed!

The Razer Taipan I've been using until now

Introducing the simple specifications
・8200dpi 4G laser sensor
- Symmetrical ergonomic design
-Four side buttons
As for Razer,DeathAdder is famousHowever, I didn't like the height, so I chose the Taipan, which was on sale at the time.
The chattering had finally gotten to a point where I couldn't do anything about it, so I decided to take this opportunity to buy a new mouse.

While doing some research, the candidate that came up was
Razer Basilisk
.

Why I chose the Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed

As I wrote at the beginning, the first reason was that I wanted to tidy up my desk.
First, change your gaming keyboard to a tenkeyless one.
All game consoles on the desk are placed vertically.
A four-tiered rack is installed to increase height and save space.
I'm using the G600 for FF14.However, it can be quite a hassle to try to do all your work with just one tool.
I want to use a simple 5-button mouse, but adding another mouse here makes the cable management a hassle.
Ok, let's go wireless!!
I don't play serious FPS games, and I don't care about reaction speed; if I had to say, I only play a few PC games that use a mouse.
It's cheap, has Bluetooth, and runs on batteries instead of rechargeable batteries.
While I was searching, I found the Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed, which was exactly what I was looking for!

Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed ​​[Unboxing]

Sorry to keep you waiting.
This is a reward for those of you who reach your climax with the unboxing video and unboxing article.
First, let's take a look at the box.

It is a small box compared to the larger size of modern mice.
And to be politeThe adhesive sticker can be removed without the need for a cutter or scissors..
Peel off the periperi in the direction of the arrow.

Open!!
The contents are simple.
The mouse itself and test battery. The mouse was packed securely in cushioning material.

Instructions and included batteries.
Energizer(※ 1) is included from the start, which is very generous!!

※ 1...What is Energizer?
This is a long story, so check out the official website!

And as usual, there are two Razer stickers included.
I wonder how many Razer stickers I have lying around my house...I'll try counting them next time.

Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed ​​[Main Unit]

From here on, I will write about the Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed ​​itself.
First, let's look at the specs.

Now, as for the mouse itself, the part that touches the palm of your hand isMagnetic coverIt can be easily opened by simply lifting it up.
One battery poweredThe radio receiver is also included here.


By the way, the radio receiver is quite small, so be careful not to lose it!
*Razer's signature green USB (probably 3.0?)

The direction to insert the battery is negative on the click side (towards the head) and positive on the tail side.

There is also an on/off switch for changing the communication method on the bottom.
To use with the included receiver,2.4' direction to connect via Bluetooth.BTSwitch in the " direction.
The middle one is switched off.

Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed ​​[shape etc.]

Shape seen from above.
It's neither too big nor too small horizontally.
Is the width about the same as Taipan?

Around the side buttons.
It has a rubber grip, which makes it less slippery. God.

View from the side.
The side buttons are large.
It is easy to press and has a sturdy construction with no strange rattles.

My hands aren't particularly large and my fingers are a little long, but I still have a hard time pressing the side buttons.
The back button in particular can be difficult to press on some models unless you bend your finger quite a bit, but the side buttons on the Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed ​​are just the right size and length, so you can press the back button with just your first joint.
This is what it looks like when you hold it in your hand

Also, and this is quite an important part, the click button is curved, so it feels good to fit your index and middle fingers firmly.
The more you use it, the moreSimple to useIt has a shape that makes you feel like "this is it."

Razer SYNAPSE3

Razer SYNAPSE3 is the software that controls all Razer products in one.
Once the connected Razer product is detected, various customizations become possible on Razer SYNAPSE3.
*The image shows that Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed ​​has been detected.

What can the Razer SYNAPSE3 do?

Take the Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed ​​for example...
For example, this screen is for customizing the mouse button functions.

Basically, you can assign keyboard keys, and in a more unusual way, you can also assign volume adjustment functions or disable function assignments.
Customize it to suit your work and gameplay!

Next is the performance item.
This is where you can change your mouse sensitivity.
There are several sensitivity stages that can be set.
For example, you can set several DPIs, and the sensitivity can be switched with the touch of a button.
To be honest, if you ask me whether I would use it or not...if you can change the sensitivity within the game, maybe there's no need to create multiple sensitivity stages?

Next is the calibration item.
This item is used to read the mouse pad you are using to improve tracking accuracy.
The tracking accuracy of the mouse will vary depending on the material, so make adjustments here.
I basically only use cloth mouse pads, so I don't know how effective it is, but I'd like to try it when using a hard mouse pad.

Power item.
You can set how long the mouse will turn off when not in use.
Five or ten minutes may seem surprisingly short, but if you are concerned about frequency of use or battery life, set it according to the situation.
*By the way, I set it to 10 minutes.Five minutes was too short...

Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed ​​Review

Before writing my overall review, I tried playing an FPS to gauge the device capabilities of the gaming mouse.
*The game played was CoD: Warzone for PC

Is there anything particularly concerning about aim tracking?
It's easy to click, the mouse scroll is just the right weight and lightness, and the side buttons work just fine.
Personally, I like relatively heavy mice, so the weight doesn't bother me.
*I guess the correct answer is that I used MMO7 a lot so it didn't bother me.

Well, I've been using it for about a week with the settings that I found comfortable, and my overall impression is
・Mouse weight →★★★☆☆
It's hard to say because it's a matter of personal opinion.
People who put in a weight about the size of a battery should be able to use it without any discomfort.
It may not be suitable for games where you swing the mouse around vigorously, such as FPS games, but you'll have to try it out to see for yourself.

・Handling → ★★★★★
Since there is no cord, it is easy to handle.
It's also nice that you can choose between 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth connection methods.
In any case, I felt that the benefits of being free from the hassle of cables were quite great.

・Battery life → ★★★★★???
I think the battery life is probably good.
I use it with a Bluetooth connection, so I can check the remaining battery level from within the Windows settings.Not a decrease from 93%.
It is unclear whether this is an accurate measurement, but if it is an accurate indication of the remaining battery life, it means that the device can be used for a fairly long period of time.
I have five Eneloop batteries ready to go, but I wonder...

・Mouse movement →★★★☆☆
This item checks whether the cursor jumps around or the response is jerky.
This can lead to malfunctions due to a combination of various factors.
You will need to take measures such as connecting the receiver to the PC itself and not placing any objects between the receiver and the mouse.
As for the Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed, I wonder if it's receiving signals without any issues?
Sometimes the cursor moves jerkily, but this usually only happens for a short time after the computer wakes up from sleep mode, so I've just accepted it and continue using it.

・Overall rating →★★★☆☆
I get the impression that this product is aimed at people who don't play FPS or RTS games, and who want it for everyday use.
For 7000 yen, it uses two wireless connection methods, is equipped with a high-precision sensor, and is a totally viable option for those who appreciate the benefits of button customization using Razer SYNAPSE3.
"I want a wireless gaming mouse.Those who are thinking this may be torn between the Logitech G603 and others due to its size and price.
As for the G603, it has different features from the Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed, such as being powered by two batteries (it can also be powered by one), its unique HERO sensor, and LIGHTSPEED connectivity, so it cannot be said that it has the same performance and price range.
After trying out both at the store, I ultimately chose the Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed, which was easier for me to hold and move around.

I think there are some that suit me and some that don't,If you're looking for a wireless gaming mouse and prioritize comfort and grip performance, I recommend the Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed.
