Problems, parts and running costs

Summary

A right-handed wireless gaming mouse with a 20,000 DPI Focus+ sensor, optical switches, 1,000 Hz polling and up to 100 hours of battery with lighting off, sold with or without a magnetic charging dock. Check the bundle before buying: the dock is included at $169.99 but costs $50 on its own, and mouse-only is $149.99.

Strengths

  • Comfortable right-handed shape with thumb wing and textured side grips.
  • Focus+ sensor rated to 20,000 DPI and 650 IPS with optical switches.
  • Up to 100 hours of battery with lighting off, plus a magnetic charging dock.
  • 14 Chroma RGB zones and 100% PTFE feet.
  • Free configuration software (Razer Synapse).

Weaknesses

  • High price: $169.99 with dock, $149.99 without.
  • No Bluetooth and no wireless-charging mouse-pad support.
  • Real-world battery with RGB on is far below the 100-hour claim (roughly 20+ hours with all features on).
  • Razer Synapse and Chroma setup can be unstable or over-involved.
  • Sniper paddle is shorter than on earlier Basilisk models.
  • Angular design and involved customization may not suit everyone.

Full research notes and sources

Sensor and wireless

The Focus+ optical sensor is rated to 20,000 DPI, 650 IPS and 50G acceleration, with adjustable lift-off from 1 mm to 3 mm and five onboard DPI settings from 100 to 20,000 in 50 DPI steps with separate X and Y sensitivity. Polling runs at 1,000 Hz over the 2.4 GHz Razer HyperSpeed dongle; there is no Bluetooth. Reviewers at PCMag, CNET, TechRadar and Tom’s Guide praise the sensor accuracy and wireless stability. Smart Tracking handles surface recognition and Motion Sync aligns sensor data to the polling rate.

Battery and charging

Razer claims up to 100 hours with lighting off. Tom’s Guide observed 5-10% battery per day with RGB on and roughly 20+ hours with all features active, so the headline figure is a lights-off number. Charging uses a proprietary magnetic dock included in the $169.99 bundle (sold alone for $50); the mouse works wired while charging. The dock also houses the USB dongle, so it uses one USB port.

Software and customization

Razer Synapse is required for advanced remapping, profiles and Chroma effects. Reviewers report stability issues and a steep setup curve. The 14 Chroma zones are individually programmable. Five profiles store on board.

Is it worth it?

At or near the $169.99 MSRP with dock, it suits Razer-ecosystem buyers who use the dock and RGB. Around $120-150 it becomes more competitive with mice such as the Logitech G502 Lightspeed, which reviewers use as the comparison point. Buyers who do not need RGB or wireless charging should consider the $60 Basilisk X HyperSpeed. PCMag listed Walmart at $132.92 and Best Buy at $169.99 at review time in 2019; those are dated listings. No verified US retail price was found in this research.
