The Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed was the company’s budget answer to the G502 Wireless gaming mouse, but it’s a lot cheaper today thanks to a massive Black Friday sale at Amazon. The price has dropped from £60 to £30, making it one of the most affordable wireless gaming mice on the market – and a great deal with six programmable buttons, duration 285-hour battery life and options for both Bluetooth and reliable Hyperspeed wireless.
So – why consider this mouse? I think this is a good option for anyone who wants the freedom that a wireless mouse offers, but doesn’t want to spend more than £100 on something with features they’ll never use or design extremely light that they don’t get on with. In that sense, the Basilisk X Hyperspeed is a much more traditional mouse, with a simple yet comfortable design that includes those six programmable buttons.
Connectivity here is also a strong point, with a choice of low-latency 2.4GHz wireless (via USB dongle) or higher-latency but more battery-efficient, Bluetooth (no dongle needed). This means you can use the mouse with a wide range of devices, save battery when using the mouse to work on a laptop, and then switch to Hyperspeed wireless when gaming on the desktop at home. .
Elsewhere, there’s really nothing to complain about – the modern optical sensor works well, the textured grip on the side aids quick repositioning, and the 82-gram weight is heavy enough for followers. tradition while still being flexible enough for ultralight enthusiasts. It’s a powerful package all things considered and very few wireless mice match the quality and features on offer here at this £30 reduced price.
