   I’m not an Apple fan-boy, but I do love my MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro…just love it. With that in mind, I wanted to flex the mini-LED screen of my beloved with games like CoD, so of course I needed a decent gaming mouse that would be up to the FPS tasks the game would throw at me. Trouble was I didn’t want a USB-A dongle sticking way out of my otherwise puma sleek beauty of a laptop (even more so because in order to use the dongle, I would have to use a USB-A to USB-C adaptor, which would just look ridiculous – COME ON Razer, Logitech, and a host of other manufacturers, why haven’t you yet embraced USB-C 2.4 GHz dongles), which really limits me to two just gaming mouse offerings from the two big boys: Razer and Logitech, that have Bluetooth connectivity onboard. I grabbed this mouse on super sale, and so far I’m pretty happy. It’s not a flagship Razer mouse; it lacks a rechargeable battery, wireless recharging, and even lacks the snappy looking LED lights found on so many gaming mice, which I personally really like…within reason. But this mouse is a bonafide gaming mouse with a DPI and polling rate to match, and equally importantly, this mouse has excellent ergonomics for right-handed people (left click button is higher and at a different angle than the right click, making it incredibly comfortable to use). Sorry left-handed people…though you are in the minority by quite a bit here. Anyway, if you’re looking for an inexpensive, no frills, but effective, dual-connectivity mouse with great ergonomics, I recommend giving this one a go.

   So, I’m glad I held off on writing a review for this mouse for one reason and one reason alone. Like all of my previous wireless mice, I was constantly having intermittent connection problems.

   Now, my computer setup is a laptop connected to a 65″ OLED screen, that sits across the living room from me. I have two children in the house, one of which is three, wired is not an option for me. For this reason I have this mouse and a Logitec G950 wireless keyboard.

   The connectivity problems I had with this mouse were not too severe, but usually when reconnecting after it goes to sleep, typically fixed by switching to bluetooth mode and back, sometimes needing to pull the battery and put it back, and rarely, by needing to unplug the wireless receiver and re-insert it.

   So, recently I purchased some EBL Lithium AA batteries, the ones that recharge via USB cable. These provide the proper voltage expected from Alkaline batteries, and since using these, I’ve not had a single disconnection issue. Not one. It wakes up and connects quickly.

   Aside from this issue, which is not an issue of the mouse, it performs fantastically. I use a couch cushion as a track pad, and there’s never any issues, I usually have it set to 1800DPI.

   If you want an affordable mouse for every day use or for gaming that can keep a connection and track accurately and lag free, from across a room, this is your mouse. Now keep in mind that it doesn’t have any lighting, has five buttons, including the scroll wheel, acting as a middle mouse button and isn’t the macro loaded customizeable monster that you can pay hundreds of dollars for, but it is a solid, low latency wireless mouse that will serve you well in normal and gaming use.

   Battery life is probably the worst aspect, but I recommend against using regular alkaline batteries in any use case, except as an emergency replacement anyway. But remember, use the rechargeable lithiums, so far, on a single charge, I’ve been going just over a week. But keep in mind that these batteries offer full power, then die suddenly, so you will get very little warning.

   Edit: this is two years later. The mouse now powers down at random and I have to pull the battery or flip the switch. Occasionally I’ll get 15 or 20 minutes without having to do so.

   Mouse was great while it lasted but longevity is not a guarantee. I won’t deduct stars, I still love this mouse but am replacing it

   So far I have found it to be an excellent mouse, considering that I come from using other mice from ryzer, but not dedicated to games, previously I used a razer atheris for the laptop and a razer deathadder for the desktop PC, the DPI cannot be compared with the basilisk, this one has 16000 DPI it took me a few days to get used to it, the configuration through the dongle is very easy, it’s just plug and play, the system takes care of downloading what is needed for the device to work, referring to the razer software, I’m not a big fan, the customization of the buttons for other uses is interesting, but I’ve never seen it useful, you can also configure it to work via bluetooth, which is also very easy and does not require the use of the dongle, this can be stored inside the mouse, the OS in my case Windows gives an approximate percentage of the battery status, the same does the razer app, another note is that the battery life is longer if used via bluetooth, but I don’t know taking into account that the super-fast response of the mouse will be compromised, in summary it is a robust mouse, but light, the construction material feels better, not like the deathadder, which feels cheaper, by the way this mouse works with only one battery, not like the atheris that requires two.

   Cuando compré el mouse lo hice porque estaba en oferta y neceistaba de un mouse ergonómico a buen precio. Después de revisar las ofertas, decidí que este era la mejor opción por el precio que ofrecía pero dudaba de la caldiad del mismo porque tuve el tecaldo de Razer que fue verdaderamente una mala experiencia, pero realmente el mouse ha sido una experiencia contraria: ofrece dos modos de conexión (Bluetooth para ahorrar energía y radio a 2.4GHz si se requiere mayor precisión gastando más energía como en juegos FPS competitivos), usa solo una pila AA que me ha durado 8 meses de uso continuo en bluetooth y con una construcción que se ha sentido sólida en estos 8 meses en todos sus botones, incluída la ruedita

   tl;dr: Recomiendo este mouse inalámbrico con dos modos (preciso y ahorro de enrgía) y con excelente ergonomía. Solo consideren que usa 1 pila AA y no es recargable.

   There’s a deal this mouse is a great mouse but but the only downside is it’s cost.

   Is perfectly balanced for gaming especially for FPS gaming.

   The mouse’s response time it’s phenomenal it has overall improved my FPS gaming for games like that of counterstrike modern warfare and and just about any other titles even that ofOverwatch warframe destiny 2 and and so much more

   It’s wireless capabilities are based on Bluetooth and and 2.4 GHz wireless adapter the best part is you can switch at any time With a small switch in the bottom of the mouse

   It feels perfect in the hands it has a perfect grip ratio for a person with small hands and even for my friends who have bigger what bigger hands will you use my 2nd lap gaming laptop to play

   The mouse is fully programmable features find different buttons which is more than enough for any modern day gamer that’s nothat’s not Playing A 3rd person RPG or an MMORPG or a moba.

   The reason I say that is because it only has so many different buttons and although they can be programmed and they can be set programmed to do multiple different functions it’s just not enough for a strategic gamer

   This device can also be used for mobile gaming as of course it is capable of being connected to a mobile device via Bluetooth

   The click ratio is very smooth very fast and very Satisfying

   This mouse does require a single Double-A battery

   Ich nutze ein Akkuladegerät für den Haushalt. Ist hier der Akku alle in 30sec gewechselt und weiter geht es mit gamen. Hat man kein Haushalt Batterien Akku Ladegerät kostet es natürlich ordentlich wenn man normale Batterien kauft. Hat man eine Maus mit integriertem Akku bezahlt man mehr, man hat ein paar Gramm mehr Gewicht und sollte bei einer integriert Akku Maus der Akku Lehr sein steht man dumm da und muss laden anstatt gamen. Vorraussetzung cheap Trick bei dieser ist das man ein Haushalt Akku Ladegerät hat, welches ich habe und für Batterien Fernbedienung und Rauchmelder nutze

   First review I wrote in November 2022 couple of months after purchase
   Energy drains off the battery in couple of hours. Forget months. Even Duracell batteries wouldn’t last after using it for couple of months. Not sure if this is specific to this piece or in general.

   Editing the review based on Dec 2023
   The mouse stopped working and there no way to revive it. After spending so much of money and energy, the product turned out to be extremely dissatisfactory.

   Not sure if Amazon is sending substandard products or Razer is bad. I see 19000 odd reviews with majority advising its good, but the experience is pathetic.

   Next mouse I’ll probably buy at store who are at least ready to answer and certify the authenticity.
   Happy shopping!

   Muito bom, qualidade de construção ok, por ser de plástico passa uma certa fragilidade. Bluetooth não tem delay e bem usando a conexão USB 2.4ghz. As vezes o bluetooth desconecta sozinho depois de uns 30min usando, aí eu tenho que desligar o mouse e ligar denovo, não sei se isso é só com o meu ou se todos são assim. Mas enfim, ele é bom. Gostei da qualidade do que vem dentro da caixa, muito top. Vem até 2 adesivos pra vc colocar no Pc, etc. No geral, um bom mouse, um software bem dahora, ergonômia interessante e construção ok.
