Razer’s gaming mouse designs can get pretty pricey — the Naga Pro I’m using as I write this article was $150 when it came out. The wired, FPS-friendly Razer Basilisk V3 is one of the company’s more affordable options, and today it’s even more so. Normally $69.99, Amazon has it on sale for just $44.99, a 36 percent discount.
The Razer Basilisk V3 uses a honed asymmetrical design with textured sides that give you a super-sturdy grip, and it has two long thumb buttons for secondary actions with a third “trigger” button for infrequent functions or quick DPI adjustments. Programming can be set up with the Synapse app, then forgotten, because the mouse stores up to five profiles in its onboard memory.
Razer is especially proud of the four-way scroll wheel, which can switch between standard “clicky” scrolling and fast spinning, like some high-end Logitech mice. When our mouse expert Dominic Bayley reviewed the Razer Basilisk V3, he praised the mouse’s high-quality sensor, super-fast scrolling wheel, and flashy RGB lighting effects.
This deal is almost the lowest we’ve seen for the Basilisk V3 since it was released almost two years ago. If you’re looking for a competitive gaming mouse at a rock-bottom price, hop on it — Best Buy is matching Amazon’s price if you’d like a local pickup option.
