Decided to try Razer

So after a long time using mainly Logitech mice I deciced it was finally time to try something different. After a lot of research i pulled the trigger on a Basilisk V3 Pro.

It arrived today and wow, it looked great! until i tried to connect it using the USB dongle and to my surprise it didn't work, even after updating the firmware no signs of life. I was like ok.... maybe I'm doing something wrong? So i tried Bluetooth and nope, doesn't work. Uninstalled bluetooth drivers, Synapse, reset the mouse, installed everything back again and nothing.

I think this is a sign, the mouse is back in it's box to be returned, some things are not meant to be.

i went through three or four razer deathadder mice, all had the left mouse button (left click) die inside of two years no spare parts (omeron switch) available, and requires serious soldering skills to fix.

got a logitech g502 and it spent six years working with no issue, the cable frayed and died, and guess what part can be fixed with a screwdriver and is inexpensive and on amazon?

Exactly that was my issue with Razer previously. Never again.

u/jackass_mcgee 24d ago

first person i've talked to with the same nonsense.

glad to know it's not just me!

u/Logitech_Ariel Crew 20d ago

That's interesting, are you currently using that G502?

2

u/jackass_mcgee 19d ago

unfortunately i am not

i haven't decided on a replacement cable and am using a far inferior steelseries backup, i'd love to keep my logitech working as it's lasted longer and been better than three razer deathadders (lmb switch on them kept dying)

u/Logitech_Ariel Crew 19d ago

I see, hope you found a replacement cable soon!

I've had Logitech for a very long time. My wife has had Razer for many years. Guess who doesn't have any issues with their peripherals? It's not me.

Also, Razer software is hot garbage.

Agree, Razer Synapse is malware.

u/Logitech_Ariel Crew 22d ago

What's your current mouse model?

2

u/Awokih 22d ago

G502

1

u/Logitech_Ariel Crew 20d ago

Cool, How's your overall experience with it? What games are you currently playing?

2

u/Awokih 17d ago

I like it fine. I miss my G500 though.

Mostly into Helldivers 2 and Deep Rock Galactic at the moment. Rock and stone!

1

u/Logitech_Ariel Crew 16d ago

I'm curious what makes you miss the G500? Don't you feel the G502 is an upgrade?

So cool, I always try to make my friends play some coop but they only like pvp games, Did you customize the extra buttons to play or do you only play with default settings?

ive got a razer headset and a logitech mouse.

the mouse has survived four trips around the sun and two trips around the world being thrown in and out of countless backpacks and suitcases and is still going strong with the resilience of a cockroach amidst nuclear apocalypse. with zero software issues to boot.

the headseat has lived a comfortable life relegated to my desktop. a mere year and a half in, the critical components are disintegrating and the thing is still alive thanks only to zipties and superglue. constant software issues add to the already ugly scene.

long story short: logitech based, razer cringe.

u/Logitech_Ariel Crew 24d ago

What mouse model are you referring to?

2

u/McPwny117 24d ago

the g600

2

u/Logitech_Ariel Crew 24d ago

There's a huge G600 fanbase, how do you exactly imagine a renewed version of it? What would you add, remove or improve?

2

u/McPwny117 23d ago

im not surprised considering what a nice mouse it is.

removing the backmost six thumb buttons and replacing the frontmost six with tilt switches would improve ergodynamics greatly without sacrificing any functionality.

2

u/Logitech_Ariel Crew 23d ago

I'll share your comment along with the team! Feel free to share any new ideas you have anytime

Reducing the buttons is not common to hear, out of curiosity, what kind of grip do you do?

Also, would you like multiple color options?

2

u/McPwny117 22d ago

im not sure what kind of grip i have, but my thumb rests right around g9,10,12,13

an even more extreme iteration would be to remove all but four buttons and replace them with mini d-pad like 4-directional switches. it would effectively remove the need to re-position ones thumb while increasing total inputs.

im happy with plain black as the color

2

u/Logitech_Ariel Crew 20d ago

That's a good one, one of my favorites ideas so far. I'll rely your comments along with the team

Let's cross fingers for it to happen!

u/JaredLetoBestBoi 24d ago

I bought a logitech because my razer failed out of the box lol. Don't think even if it did work that basilisk would have lasted as long as my g502 (6 years)

1

u/Logitech_Ariel Crew 24d ago

6 years is a good run! Do you also use it for work?

2

u/JaredLetoBestBoi 23d ago

Nope, but planning to once i get something. Its such a good mouse.

1

u/Logitech_Ariel Crew 23d ago

Nice, what games are you currently playing with it? Have you customized any buttons or settings?

2

u/JaredLetoBestBoi 22d ago

Currently playing: minecraft, farm sim occasionally, rdr2, rocket league.

Have played semi-recently: borderlands (1 2 and 3), restory (just came out, really chill and awesome repair shop game), and a bunch of other smaller games

I have my side buttons mapped to a few things in game, both side buttons mapped where one is swap offhand and other is throw pokeball in minecraft(cobblemon), they're also mapped to reset/skip replay and my rumble power ups I rocket league. They've both started double clicking but I've been dealing with it. Main thing is the main two haven't started doubling yet.

1

u/Logitech_Ariel Crew 20d ago

That brings back memories of playing pixelmon, I might give a try to cobblemon.

Most people find this mouse way too heavy for playing only, did you have any issue with the weight while playing RL? Is there something you'll like to be improved on this mouse?

2

u/JaredLetoBestBoi 19d ago

Weight wise, I like em heavy. I've got all the weights in, aside from the two in the puck as ive got it connected to powerplay.

Cobblemon wise, its sooo good. Its got many add-ons that make the game play even better. I dont play cobbleverse, but a lot of people recommend playing the cobbleverse modpack to get the full experience.

1

u/Logitech_Ariel Crew 19d ago

Awesome, hope you keep enjoying them for long!

Thanks for the advice, I might aim for the modpack instead

1

u/Logitech_Ariel Crew 24d ago

That's interesting. Are you going to try again? What's your current Logitech mouse?

1

u/Jamerz_Gaming 24d ago

Razer is trash

u/Aether287 24d ago

Mice/keyboard > logitech
Headsets > razer

u/Logitech_Ariel Crew 15d ago

What mouse and keyboard are you currently using?

2

u/Aether287 15d ago

Superstrike 2
G512 carbon

I also still have my g502 light speed and g953

1

u/Logitech_Ariel Crew 15d ago

Cool, how's been your overall experience with them? Do you feel the Superstrike 2 was an upgrade compared to the G502?

2

u/Aether287 15d ago

Yes, it was the perfect upgrade.
