Verdict

The Razer Basilisk Ultimate is a high-end wireless gaming mouse for right-handed users, built around the Focus+ optical sensor with up to 20,000 DPI, 650 IPS tracking, and 11 programmable buttons. It combines HyperSpeed wireless, optical switches, adjustable scroll resistance, and extensive Chroma RGB lighting, while also supporting long battery life when lighting is disabled. Main strengths are its excellent ergonomics, low-latency wireless performance, and deep customization through its buttons and wheel. Main drawbacks are the high price, the relatively heavy 107g weight by modern standards, and battery life that drops sharply when RGB lighting is heavily used.
