(They won't be covered by your hand, as mouse RGB bling tends to be.) It's subtle, but the added lights, along with the lighting in the palm and scroll wheel, make the lighting a strong element, especially since you can actually see the side lights while you're playing. On the thumb side, the line sits right above the macro buttons. The Basilisk Ultimate has a pair of extra lighting elements, comprising a pair of thin accent lines high on the mouse's sides. I did note a couple of small differences. This one isn't too large or too small, and the curve is just the right shape to let you rest your thumb for long play sessions, or to support it while you grip the side of the mouse. Part of the comfort is the thumb wing, which returns and continues to stand apart, despite the fact that so many mice employ some kind of extended thumb support. Plus, you need to make only small movements to hit any of its essential inputs. Your hand still falls perfectly into place and rests naturally on the mouse in a way that you never feel the need to grip or maneuver your hand to get comfortable. With a footprint of 5.1 by 2.8 inches (including the thumb wing) and at 1.65 inches tall, the 3.8-ounce Basilisk Ultimate is nearly identical to the original. The Basilisk Ultimate isn't the only mouse adding these inputs here in late '19, but it's the first I've reviewed, and I hope more companies embrace it.Īs I suggested up top, my favorite thing about the Basilisk is its shape, which remains mostly unchanged. (The default function is repeat scroll.) In games, it pays to reconfigure these tilt actions to your key commands, as it's faster to tilt the wheel, where you already have a finger resting, than to reach a side button by repositioning your thumb.
While browsing the web and looking at documents, I found myself tilting the wheel to scroll up and down pages instead of rolling it. The tilt function feels great in action, both for everyday use and in gaming. So where do the last two "buttons" come from? The scroll wheel on the Basilisk got a little hop-up: In addition to the usual scroll-wheel down-click, you can now tilt the scroll wheel to the left or right. Also, as on the other Basilisks, a dial on the underside lets you tune the scroll wheel's sensitivity, which keeps you out of system settings if you like to tweak that parameter often. Last, underneath the mouse is a button that cycles quickly among the Basilisk's five onboard profiles without making you open Synapse, Razer's configuration software. On the side, you have two macro/shortcut buttons and a detachable FPS-minded "sniper" paddle that, by default, drops your tracking resolution to low sensitivity for precise clicking. On top, you have the usual two main clickers, a scroll wheel that clicks, and two resolution-swapping buttons. It's technically an 11-button, right-handed model, though it has only nine customizable buttons. The Basilisk Ultimate's core look and feel remain mostly unchanged from the original. Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got That Wing
