It's been three weeks now since the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K has replaced V2 on my desk. This new version retains the qualities that made the original a success, while bringing some welcome improvements. Let's test this new model to see if it still has limitless versatility.

Razer didn't try to reinvent the wheel with this new version. The Basilisk V3 Pro 35K takes up the ergonomic design that has proven itself. Its asymmetrical shape fits perfectly the right hand, with a generous thumb rest and textured surfaces that provide an excellent grip. The weight of 112 grams offers a perfect balance between stability and maneuverability .

The 13 programmable buttons are ideally positioned, accessible without contortions. The HyperScroll wheel remains a real asset, capable of automatically switching between precise notched scrolling and an ultra-fast free mode. A real plus for switching between gaming and web browsing.

The real change is under the hood. The new Focus Pro 35K Optical Gen-2 sensor further improves precision and responsiveness. DPI customization in increments of 1 allows ultra-fine adjustment of sensitivity for pros where every pixel counts. Of course, in a casual gaming setting like mine, this kind of adjustment and such high DPI are overkill. He who can do more can do less, as they say.

The automatic adaptation to the surface also works very well. I tested the mouse on different mouse pads, on raw wood and even on glass: the tracking remains impeccable. This technical versatility makes it an excellent tool for creatives who work on a variety of surfaces.

The battery improvements are a game changer in everyday life. With 140 hours of battery life in HyperSpeed ​​Wireless mode and up to 210 hours in Bluetooth mode, charging becomes much more spaced out. I often went about ten days without having to recharge, with the RGB brightness at maximum without having to plug in the USB-C cable.

Speaking of which, Razer sells the Mouse Dock Prowhich further improves the experience. It allows you to recharge the mouse by serving as a magnetic base, without the need for a wire. A luxury that we would have liked to be available as standard with this Pro version of the Basilisk. Unfortunately, you will have to spend 99 euros more to get the dock. A pack exists to save a few euros, but the price is obviously significant.

The strength of the Basilisk V3 Pro 35K lies in its ability to adapt to all uses. Customizable profiles allow you to instantly switch between different configurations. The particularity of the Basilisk has always been the presence of a third button under the thumb, often called the “sniper button” used by gamers to change DPI on the fly.

It is of course possible to assign this third key to any function, which is particularly practical in everyday life. For example, I use it when writing this test, to emphasize certain sentences with bold . No need to use a keyboard shortcut, and everything is conveniently located under the thumb. A third button that is a lifesaver in some games like Overwatch 2, where every ability heroes is available under the thumb.

The precision of the sensor, coupled with the many possibilities for customization, makes it a true digital Swiss army knife.

Razer took advantage of this update to refine its software. The interface is clearer, customization more intuitive. New HyperScroll wheel settings provide even finer control over scrolling behavior.

L Chroma lighting remains a model of its kind with its customizable zones that integrate perfectly into the Razer ecosystem. Even the Mouse Dock Pro is customizable on this hub of products sold by the peripheral expert.

At €179.99, the Basilisk V3 Pro 35K is clearly positioned in the premium segment and that is the price of excellence. It’s a substantial purchase, especially if you add the Mouse Dock Pro.

However, its versatility makes it a mouse that can be used for both productivity and gaming. So, there’s no need to buy a specific mouse for gaming and another for work. It’s therefore the best possible mouse for everyday use.
