Summary
A wired, right-handed gaming mouse built around Razer’s Focus Pro 35K sensor, with 13 controls, an 11-zone Chroma lighting system and a 4-way HyperScroll wheel, sold by Razer at US$79.99. Check two things before buying: Razer does not publish dimensions, weight or polling rate for the wired model, and no independent test of this exact variant was found.
Strengths
- The Focus Pro 35K sensor offers 35,000 DPI in 1 DPI steps, with 750 IPS tracking and 70 G acceleration.
- 13 controls plus HyperShift’s second layer give up to 22 inputs without a separate macro pad.
- The 4-way HyperScroll wheel switches between tactile, free-spin and smart-reel modes.
- 11-zone Chroma lighting covers 16.8 million colors across 200+ integrated games.
- Wired operation means no battery or wireless dongle to manage, with a Speedflex cable.
- Up to 2 years of warranty and 14-day returns when bought from RazerStore at US$79.99.
Weaknesses
- Razer does not publish dimensions, weight, materials, polling rate or switch lifespan and actuation for the wired model on the captured pages.
- Wirecutter and Tom’s Hardware treat the 35K upgrades as minor next to the original Basilisk V3.
- Polling is capped at 1,000 Hz on the wired model; 8,000 Hz needs optional accessories on the Pro only.
- Family-level caution: a Wirecutter review unit’s scroll wheel got stuck in free-spin mode and could not be toggled back, while other units worked.
- Control-count wording conflicts on Razer’s own page: 13 controls versus 11 programmable buttons.

Full research notes and sources
Sensor and tracking
The wired model is built around the Razer Focus Pro 35K Optical Sensor Gen-2, with a stated 35,000 DPI maximum and 1 DPI adjustment steps, plus 750 IPS speed and 70 G acceleration. Razer claims 99.8% resolution accuracy against 99.4% for the compared sensor, and lists Motion Sync, Smart Tracking (Low/Med/High), Asymmetric Cut-off (up to 26 steps) and a DPI Sensitivity Matcher. Those are manufacturer figures from the product page, with no independent verification of the wired variant.
Controls, wheel and lighting
The page advertises 13 customizable controls and 11 programmable buttons in different spots, with HyperShift doubling inputs to up to 22; the two counts are not reconciled. The 4-way HyperScroll Tilt Wheel offers tactile, free-spin and smart-reel modes with virtual acceleration across 5 levels. Lighting runs to 11 individually programmable LEDs across 11 zones, 16.8 million colors and 200+ Chroma-integrated games. A family-level caution from Wirecutter: a review unit’s scroll wheel got stuck in smooth-scrolling mode and neither the physical button nor the software could toggle it back to ratcheted scrolling, while other units worked; Razer confirmed repair only within the two-year warranty period.
Wired-only limits
This is a wired mouse, so there is no battery, wireless dongle or charging to manage, but also no wireless use and no polling above 1,000 Hz. Razer does not list dimensions, weight, materials, polling rate or switch type and lifespan for the wired model on the captured pages; the figures that circulate (1.7 × 2.9 × 5.1 in, 3.95 oz, 100% PTFE feet) come from PCMag’s review of the wireless sibling. RazerCare Elite For Mice is offered at US$14.99, and the buy page shows shipping at US$25.00 (Oct 30–Nov 02) or free (Nov 04–Nov 06).
Is it worth it?
At US$79.99 direct from Razer with up to a 2-year warranty, the mouse is plausibly competitive for a wired gaming mouse, but with no independent tests or owner data for this exact variant, no value thresholds can be set defensibly. PCMag suggests buyers who do not need peak DPI or high polling save money by choosing the wired V3 35K over the Pro, while Wirecutter suggests the 35K upgrades are not worth the premium over the original Basilisk V3. If you already own the original Basilisk V3 and it works, the upgrade case is weak.
