It seemed like Razer finally stumbled with the Basilisk V2's scroll wheel, which had too much resistance by default. The Basilisk V2's improved buttons give it a clear advantage over the DeathAdder V2. I wasn't a fan of the DeathAdder V2's side buttons because it was hard to press one without accidentally activating the other and overall difficult to tell if either one was ever pressed hard enough. They're larger, which makes them easier to locate, and I never wonder if I've actually pressed one. The Basilisk V2 starts to beat out the DeathAdder V2 with its side buttons. My inability to keep up with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players sprinting across the map and blowing my head off moments after they appear on my screen is my fault alone the Basilisk V2 performed exactly like it’s supposed to. I didn't have any problems with the mouse's tracking or notice any mis-clicks (much to my chagrins, as the recent influx of gamers for many popular titles humbled me a bit).

The Basilisk V2 offered similar performance to the DeathAdder V2. There’s also the Razer Speedflex cable that minimizes drag and Razer-branded optical switches that the company claims can withstand 70 million clicks. It boasts the same Razer Focus+ (opens in new tab) optical sensor with support for up to 20,000 CPI, 650 inches per second (IPS) and 50g acceleration. Razer equipped the Basilisk V2 with many of the same features it added to the DeathAdder V2. Never let it be said that Razer didn't have a consistent aesthetic. It features sharp angles, various shades of black and two RGB lighting zones that support up to 16.8 million colors. Otherwise, the Basilisk V2 looks like your typical Razer product. (By which I mean “make effective and respectful callouts to my fellow players.”) But people who play games that rely on more inputs, such as MMORPGs, will appreciate the ability to map a whole bunch of actions to dedicated buttons. In most of the FPS games I play all I need are the primary mouse buttons for aiming-and, you know, shooting-with a scroll wheel to cycle through weapons and at least one side button so I can trash talk my team. Pressing that last one temporarily switches the Basilisk V2 over to another profile, which means it essentially has 20 programmable buttons in total, excluding the Hypershift button.
