Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Basilisk V3 is the wired Razer here and the listing leads on its controls: 10 plus 1 programmable buttons, a HyperScroll tilt wheel and an ergonomic shape, at 127 grams and 13 by 7.5 centimetres in black, wired over USB.
The HyperScroll wheel is the feature that separates it from a standard mouse: it can switch between a notched scroll for weapon selection and a free spin for long pages, which is why this shape became a favourite for shooters and MMOs alike. At the time of collection it carried 9,956 ratings at 4.6 stars. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.
How those 9,956 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.6 stars.
