Razer has decided to give a younger brother to one of his most popular mice. Her name is Basilisk Essential, it costs less than 50 euros and is designed to give gamers everything they need. Would you like to know more? We explain how it is and how it behaves in this review.

Tamarro and ergonomic

Razer Basilisk Essential comes with an asymmetrical design, dedicated exclusively to right-handers, and well 7 programmable keys. Among these also the comfortable and versatile side grip, a lever that you will have to mount once you have unwrapped the mouse and that you can then configure using Razer Synapse 3, the free software made available by the American company. This solution, already seen on the older brother, however, has some limitations. No, nothing functional, but simply a matter of length. The original Basilisk in fact included side grips of three different sizes, here you will have to settle for the only one available that may not be suitable for the length of your hands. In general, however, the device, rubberized on the sides, guarantees great grip and still remains firmly in your hands in any situation.

Finally, do not forget the logo with RGB lighting, located on the dorsal part, the very long braided cable and above all the 6400 DPI optical sensor. Yes, that's right, it's not the 16000 DPI of the big brother, but this Basilisk Essential allows you to be sufficiently precise both during gaming sessions and during daily use.

The importance of Razer Synapse 3

As always, the aforementioned Razer Synapse 3 makes the difference. The program, which can be downloaded for free from the manufacturer's official website, allows you to customize virtually any key, including the aforementioned side grip.

Synapse also helps you to create your macros, to define the DPI levels to be associated with the relative button and a choose the type of lighting desired among those available.

All these settings are also saved in the cloud and in the internal memory mouse. What does it mean? Simple: once connected to a computer, whatever it is, you will find your settings.

Perfect for playing (but not only)

The Razer Basilisk Essential does its job admirably. The movements are quick, the grip is excellent on any surface and the lateral grip is very comfortable. If you love shooters, including Overwatch and Fortnite, you won't be able to do without them anymore. Just associate it with the functions or skills you use most to improve your performance. Sure, it can't work miracles, but you will definitely notice the difference.

Of course, these same features can come in handy even in everyday life. In fact, the lever can be used to call up a specific program or associated with some Windows shortcuts, while the good level of precision offered will be particularly useful for those involved in graphics or photo editing. In short, Basilisk Essential is undoubtedly devoted to gaming, but nothing prevents you from using it to work.
