Hello, this is The Provoked Prawn, and this is a video to compare the Razor Basilisk Ultimate
with Logitech's G502 Lightspeed. These are two interesting and similar gaming mice from Razor
and Logitech that are interestingly comparable and both wireless, both high specs, and both quite
tasty. Now I've unboxed both these mice previously and I'll link to those unboxing/reviews in the
description so you can check them out and get a close up of both mice and a bit more in-depth
overview of them, but I wanted to talk to you about the differences between the two and the
similarities, because they both offer high specs in terms of both having 11 customizable buttons,
sideways clickable mouse wheel, textured mouse scroll that can be adjusted, a textured economic
grip for right-handed gamers and more, and they're both very expensive, über powerful, interesting
and highly customizable mice are really really good fun to play with. A Razor Basilisk Ultimate
is the most recent mouse that I've seen and this is a powerful little bit of kit that tops out with
a hundred hours of battery life if you're not using the RGB lighting, and as I said has 11
programmable buttons with a highest DPI of 20,000 which is 4000 more than the G502 Lightspeed,
you'll also see the Basilisk Ultimate comes with a little charging dock so that you can dock it
and charge it when it's not in use. That charging core also has RGB lighting on the underneath as
well as this nice little rubberized outer layer that means it stays put on the desk and doesn't
move around which I really like, it has a little sort of sticky texture to it and it doesn't move
when you're using it and plugging it in so that's great. You can see there's a USB port on there as
well so you can plug in the wireless dongle that comes with the Basilisk Ultimate so you don't
need two plugs on your PC in order to keep this bad boy working and charging. Makes it a very
convenient setup, easy-to-use, relatively easy to dock there's a couple of metal pins on the bottom
and then you just plop the mouse down on top of it. As I said that charging base then plugs into
your PC via micro-USB, although you can plug the mouse in directly if you want, and that's one of
the points that Razer makes, that this comes with its braided cable that's super slick and
doesn't catch on the desk. You'll note underneath there's quite similar design in both these mice,
they have a very similar shape and look and feel to them. Underneath the G502 Lightspeed you have
the power button, PTFE feet that are ultra slick, same on the Razor so it moves on the desk really
easily and on any gaming surface. One thing that you will note is different in a second is the G502
has a little housing, and I'll show you what goes on there in a minute, and the Basilisk Ultimate
has a little housing for its USB dongle here so you can store it when you're not using or if you
want to take it with you out the house somewhere else then you can store it away and be sure not to
lose it. It's 2.4 GHz Wireless, a little tiny dongle that fits into your PC or plugs into
the charging base, that's a convenient little dock there. You'll notice the white PTFE ultra
slick feet as well as a number of other buttons I'll talk to it in a bit. Here you can see the
502 Lightspeed as I said you can take this little bottom hatch off and that also gives you access to
an area where you can store the wireless dongle, you can see a little storage area down there. The
difference here with this device though is that you also have the ability to adjust the weight,
so it's a weight adjustable mouse, it comes with a number of different weights in the box
and a little convenient carry case which means you can customize the weight and feel of this mouse.
This isn't something you can do with the Basilisk Ultimate, so if you want a bit more customization
in terms of weight levels then you need the G502 as the more interesting option and choice. It too
has a tiny little wireless dongle that you can see here as well as this adapter that you can
plug in with a micro-USB cable so you don't have to plug it in directly to your PC, you can plug
it in with the cable and get it closer to you if your PC is a bit further away or you were worried
about the signal getting blocked or anything like that, and then you have a number of different
weights to choose from. I went for the big four gram weights you could put two of those into
that little housing and then install it under the mouse, and you can adjust that and customize it
to your preference or not using them at all, you don't have to use them, but it is a nice addition
to have. This mouse, both these mice a very feature-rich in terms of the number of features
they have and they're both interesting for that reason. Not only do they have 11 customizable
buttons that you can program, both boast incredible battery life. The G502 Lightspeed says
to top out around 60 hours with lighting turned off and about 48 with it turned on. The Basilisk
Ultimate claims a hundred hours of the battery life with the lighting turned off. I have not
managed to get 100 hours out of it but I've mostly been using it with the RGB lighting because the
RGB lighting on the Basilisk Ultimate is superior and I'll show you that a bit later on. Now another
thing that you'll note underneath is there are multiple buttons here, you have a power button
and you have a resistance wheel and I'll show you what that does in a minute, and you have a profile
switching button, so the Basilisk Ultimate has the ability to switch between five different profiles
that can be stored on the mouse itself, and that's that button on the left hand side, the textured
one just above the power button. Here you can also see the charging pins and the bold statement
of having 20,000 DPI. Now, wheel resistance on the scroll wheel, you can adjust that infinitely
according to Razor which basically means you have this little mini wheel underneath where you
can either increase or decrease the resistance and that increases and decreases the feedback.
So you either have this noise and feeling from the mouse wheel where it makes a lot of noise,
or you can go completely other way and make it a much smoother experience, and you can sort of go
and adjust that to your preference because you put the wheel one way and it changes it so you just
keep tweaking it. It's quite an interesting way of doing it, and it basically allows you to customize
the feedback and the feel and the speed at which the scroll wheel moves, which is pretty nifty,
and it's a nice addition to have. Don't see it too often on other mice however,
the G502 Lightspeed is the mouse I saw like six months ago and that has a similar thing except
instead of an infinitely adjustable you have a button and the button either makes the mouse
wheel spin like this and are very satisfying and nifty way or it puts into a resistance mode where
it clicks every time you move it, so it's either on or off, there's no in-between as there is with
the Basilisk Ultimate. However you cannot do this with the Ultimate, you cannot just set it to spin
like a little hamster wheel and then it just keeps going and going and that obviously gives
you a lot faster action for scrolling up and down webpages or using it within games, so you have a
lot more options. You'll note the G502 Lightspeed has a bit more of an angry-looking set to it,
they're both very pointy mice but you do have multiple buttons, easy access buttons on the left
hand side for your thumb, as said these are both right-handed mice and very much for right-handed
gamers but they have a nice bit of thumb rest with an ergonomic textured design to it,
both sit nicely in the hand and you have access to several buttons with ease. The Basilisk Ultimate
has this little multifunction paddle that you can either use or not use and it as a rubber cover for
it if you don't want to use it, and that basically plugs in there and that's used as default as a
sensitivity clutch but you can adjust all the buttons within the Razor's Synapse software and
customize it the way you want it. I must say that paddle feels really nice to use, it feels
slightly different to a button because you're not pressing the button you're pressing the edge of
it. The mouse clicks also have a very satisfying action to them and if you read the specs you'll
learn that the Basilisk Ultimate uses the sort of laser optical click management so that it can make
sure you get the most accurate reading of your clicks and you don't suffer from double clicks
and other problems. Both of these mice have a sideways clickable mouse as well as the ability
to push it in and that's another way that you can customize the settings and get the most out
of it in terms of the number of programmable buttons. And on top of the Basilisk Ultimate
behind the scroll wheel you have the DPI switching button so you can get up and down through the DPI
levels and there's five customizable ones within the software up to 20,000 DPI, with the G502
Lightspeed these two front top buttons allow you to switch between them and you'll see there's a
little LED indicator to let you know which level you're on, and obviously you set that up within
the software and then you know which one you're on. With the Basilisk Ultimate you don't get any
indicator apart from when you're in Windows where you have a little pop-up to tell you but if you're
in game and you switch between them you don't know which level you want so that could be a problem,
I've actually found it a problem because you can't easily adjust so you don't really know which one
you're on easily or if you do with the five or two because you've got that LED, you know, you can see
a glance. As you can see as I said it's sideways clickable. On the front bottom left by the thumb
you also have a sniper button on the G502 which allows you to drop into an ultra low temporary
sensitivity level or DPI level so that you can have really accurate mouse movements if you're
using a sniper rifle in an FPS game for example, and you can apply the same sort of logic to the
buttons on the Basilisk Ultimate but that's not necessarily the default, or at least not at the
same level. And that sort of sniper logic, the high accurate button I've also seen on
Corsair mice but it's a really nice set up on both these mice to have access to multiple buttons on
both fingers really, on all your fingers because you've got the scroll wheel and the DPI buttons,
you don't have to use them as that set up, you can change them within the software as
well and you can customize both of these mice. The G502 Lightspeed is a bit more affordable,
especially now it's been out a bit longer, it doesn't top out with as much battery life but
it is very customizable and very comfortable, and accurate too. The Basilisk Ultimate does
have more RGB lighting zones though, it has 14 lighting zones which sounds a bit bonkers,
but within the software and if you watched review I did you'll see you can customize the edge,
down the edge here above the thumb buttons, and the mouse wheel and that basically splits it into
different zones that you can have different colors in different areas of that, it's pretty crazy,
and you also have the charging base station. Here you can see in action with different colors
at one and to the other and sort of a gradient of colors going between them, it's pretty nuts
so if you want RGB then the Basilisk Ultimate is for you. Both mice though, fantastic bits of kit,
very premium, and well worth considering. Please be sure to check out the description
