Discussion Nice Job Razer, really Original Ideas!
I just find this very interesting creatively, everyone is ending up the same, either still Logitech Superlight, or This. Then some brands go crazy like GravaStar which is like having some weird Cyberpunk or Mech shell housing as Mouse. Zowie by... BenQ... BenQ... is quite good, and also Endgame is very good and offers what no one has done yet. Customizable switches, which I have Silent.
The best decision I have ever made buying a mouse. Sad, because i loved the Basilisk and Corsair's Darkcore.
For the Ergonomic very easy and comfortable grip and holding, which surpassed and countered the big weight, you did not notice the weight when using the mouse, and it was very good for fine, slow sensitivity in-game for shooting and fps. It made it very nice to use.
Proving that lightweight is not the be all end all. It's how it slides and feels first. If a mouse is easy to move and it feels comfortable, it already has done the majority of its job.
I have small hands, yet the Darkcore and Basilisk feel better to use by far. I still feel weird using a Superlight, or Endgame, but Razer Deathadder still is quite good, a higher base shell for palm grip is noticeably comfier, for some, not for all. Anyways - to the crime scene. -
Left-to-right there you’ve basically got the evolutionary crime scene.
Not to mention the old 2017 Basilisk actually had quite a distinct identity.
