Razer Basilisk V3 X HyperSpeed review

The Basilisk V3 X HyperSpeed is a gaming mouse, but its button count makes it useful for office macros too. Razer lists 9 programmable controls, including a multi-function trigger on the side, and Hypershift adds a second layer, so holding the trigger turns the side buttons into commands such as Print Screen or volume mute. The right-handed shape has a thumb rest. It connects over Razer HyperSpeed 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth and runs on a single AA battery that Razer rates at up to 285 hours on HyperSpeed and up to 535 hours on Bluetooth. The dongle stores under the top cover, which helps when traveling. The 18K sensor has factory DPI steps from 400 to 6,400. At $69.99 it costs less than every MX model, but battery life is measured in hours rather than months and the gaming look will not suit every office.
