Razer - Basilisk V2

My dad used to have an older Deathadder, he used that thing for at least 6 years if not more. My Basilisk V2 lasted 9 months and my warranty Basilisk V3 scroll wheel wouldn't click in after 6 months... My Blackshark V2 headset is kind of shitty as well (USB DAC will randomly drop out). I think that the older Razer stuff was built with actual longevity in mind.

Windows can only recognize two side buttons natively and they're always called Mouse4 and Mouse5. Other buttons have to be assigned to a keyboard button, otherwise they won't be recognized. Look for MMO-mice if you want really many buttons. Otherwise Logitech G502, Razer Basilisk and Glorious Model i2 are options to consider.

Razer Basilisk, Glorious i2 are probably your best bets. I would go for a Basilisk. By the way, it is *mouse*, *mice* is only if you talk about more than one mouse (some people also use mouses when it comes to the computer peripheral, but to me that sounds just idiotic)

Corsair's 502 is the M65, Razer's is the Basilisk. Though, I don't think any of them are particularly big mice, the 502 is just really really heavy because of the metal scroll wheel and freescroll, and the side support for the big ass sniper button.

G502 and Basilisk are almost identical in size. This dude's hands are just massive. I have "big" hands and the basilisk was the best sized mouse I could find

i had a raza naga and basilisk. I also tried a g203 and razer viper, both of which were too small for my hands.

Realistically speaking other than the Razer Basilisk and the SteelSeries Aerox 9 there isn't much else out there I believe.

It's one of the three most common grip styles. People who use a palm grip just move their whole hand across their mousepad if they use a lower DPI. https://preview.redd.it/n3sox6v4kgff1.png?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=c80ca80c73e45362be8d21360d74e338ad02a671

I've used the Basilisk before... dude, your hands are freaking massive!

Razer basilisk! Loved the shape in spite of the weight and how long wireless lasted(had to recharge every couple months maybe)

Careful the Rabbit hole can run deep in this game, lol. I started out that way. Now I use dual Virpil Alphas with desk mounts, Racing pedals, Loupedeck and Tracker IR5, love the feel of flying with this setup. But any decent mouse and keyboard will get you playing! I used my Razer Basilisk V2 initially, if you like the mmo mice with the multiple side buttons, I could see that working well with all the keybinds in this game too though. Like said elsewhere if you do a lot of cargo, you will want to have a good mouse wheel that is comfortable to use for the tractor beams. I think I have 65 binds on my joystick/pedals and another 80+ on the Loupedeck that's mounted on the right joystick mount when flying, I still use the keyboard/mouse when on foot. Good luck and have fun! o7

I hate Razer generally - but I picked up a Basilisk as it was a good deal and annoyingly it's the best mouse I've ever used. I tried others after my first one died and but had to resort to another Basilisk.

I loved my Death Adder but let me tell you, I love my Basilisk even more. Time for an upgrade big guy.

I have hands slightly smaller than yours but I have the same problem and yes basilisk and naga are the only ones that doesn't feel that bad to grab but still... I'm considering buying one of those ergonomic vertical mice just to try and see if that works :(

I ownes a basilisk for a year now and it smoothed over the part where my thumb is but nothing like that. I just covered it with grip tape and it's fine now.

Yes! The RGB on the Razer basilisk is second to none.

I've had a razor basilisk for about 5 years and it's sound but I've never had a mouse break tbh

Because I prefer a mouse like the Basilisk and I'd rather not rely on my thumb for so many things.

I prefer the basilisk to those mmo mice. I can't get used to so many buttons that feel the same all in one place. The basilisk gives me plenty of buttons while feeling unique so I don't accidentally press the wrong one. I also use shift and ctrl as modifiers to give myself extra buttons as well.

My basilisk has been doing great for two years now

I usually look for mice that don't have too many side buttons. I never click them, and I never accidentally click them, but I only find the DPI buttons necessary sometimes, and that's fine. My Naga was better suited for MMOs, but I ended up stopping using it due to my busy day-to-day workload. So I started using the Mamba more. Its size is perfect for anything, and I find it very comfortable. I've used the Basilisk a few times with the Deathadder v2. The only drawback with the V2 was the DPI buttons on the right-click and the fact that both are battery-operated.

If there is one mouse that would replace the G502 for me it's the Razer basilisk. A very good option in my opinion.

I haven't used the new 502X, so I can't really comment on that. I just switched from my Basilisk to a Logitech GPX Superlight 2, because the scroll wheel broke for the second time in 6 months. I could fix it the first time, by opening up the mouse and fiddling around in there a little, but not this time. Just in general I've found that Razer mice can be a little fragile compared to others. But other than that, performance and feel are really nice.
