The Razer Basilisk V2 wired gaming mouse is Razer’s highly customisable ergonomic gaming mouse — a right-handed wired mouse carrying the Basilisk ergonomic form with 11 programmable buttons, a Focus+ 20,000 DPI optical sensor and Razer Optical Switches. The distinguishing feature unique to the Basilisk V2 — and absent on most competing mice including the Basilisk V3 — is the adjustable scroll wheel resistance. A dial on the underside of the mouse controls the tension in the scroll wheel mechanism, ranging from nearly free-spinning at one extreme to a firm, deliberate click-to-click feel at the other. This allows each user to dial in their preferred scroll feedback: lighter resistance suits fast web scrolling and document navigation, heavier resistance suits games where accidental scroll activates an unintended weapon slot. The Focus+ sensor tracks at up to 20,000 DPI with 650 IPS and 50G specifications — sensor performance that exceeds physical capability at any sensitivity setting. Razer Synapse software allows five DPI presets configured and cycled through via the top button. The Hypershift system holds all 11 buttons’ alternate functions via a second layer, effectively providing 22 unique programmable actions. Razer Optical Switches use an infrared beam for actuation at 0.2ms response time, rated for 70 million clicks without physical contact degradation. The Speedflex cable minimises drag. Genuine Razer. 2-year warranty.
Focus+ 20K DPI Sensor
650 IPS · 50G · Asymmetric Cut-off
The Focus+ sensor in the Basilisk V2 is Razer’s highest-tier optical sensor at the time of the mouse’s launch, rated at 20,000 DPI maximum with 650 IPS maximum tracking speed and 50G maximum acceleration. Both the speed and acceleration figures exceed the physical capability of any human player — the sensor will maintain accurate tracking through any physical mouse movement a player can produce. DPI is configurable from 100 to 20,000 in increments of 50, with five presets that can be cycled through via the DPI stage button on top of the mouse without entering software. The Focus+ sensor also includes Razer’s asymmetric lift-off and landing distance feature: through Synapse, the distance at which the sensor stops and resumes tracking when the mouse is lifted off the pad can be set independently for lift-off (the height at which tracking stops when lifting) and landing (the height at which tracking resumes when replacing the mouse). This allows players who frequently lift and reposition the mouse to set a very low lift-off distance, eliminating spurious cursor movement when repositioning the mouse mid-game.
Adjustable Scroll Resistance
Dial-Controlled Tension — Light to Firm
The customizable scroll wheel resistance is the Basilisk V2’s defining differentiator — a feature not found on the Basilisk V3 or on most competing gaming mice. On the underside of the mouse, a small dial controls the tension applied to the scroll wheel mechanism. Turning it one way reduces resistance until the wheel moves with almost no tactile feedback, producing a very smooth, near-free-spinning feel suitable for rapid document scrolling and web navigation. Turning it the other way increases resistance through a series of increasingly firm and deliberate notched increments. For gaming, heavier resistance is particularly useful in titles like CS2, Valorant or Apex Legends where weapon slots are assigned to scroll wheel inputs — a firm scroll produces precise, intentional one-notch movements, preventing accidental slot changes during critical moments. For general productivity use, lighter resistance allows fast scrolling without effort. The resistance setting is a physical mechanical adjustment rather than a software setting, so it remains in effect regardless of whether Razer Synapse is installed or running.
11 Buttons · Hypershift · Optical Switches
22 Unique Actions · 70M Click Durability
The Basilisk V2 provides 11 programmable buttons: left click, right click, scroll wheel click, DPI stage button, Hypershift button, two side buttons, scroll tilt left, scroll tilt right, a profile cycle button (underneath) and the DPI clutch. Hypershift is Razer Synapse’s second-layer function system — holding the designated Hypershift button activates alternate functions for all other buttons simultaneously, effectively providing 22 unique in-game actions from 11 physical buttons. Razer Optical Mouse Switches Gen-2 use a light beam and phototransistor for button detection: the button breaks the beam when pressed, triggering registration. This is faster than the physical contact closure of mechanical switches and eliminates the wear mechanism — no physical contacts degrading over time — giving the switch a rated life of 70 million clicks without double-clicking issues. The Speedflex cable uses a woven fibre construction that is thinner and more supple than standard braided cables, producing less drag when the mouse moves across the pad — important for low-sensitivity players who make large arm movements.
Great choice if you…
✔ Want maximum button count and customisation on a wired gaming mouse
✔ Use a right-handed ergonomic palm or claw grip for extended sessions
✔ Want a DPI clutch (sniper button) for temporary sensitivity change during play
✔ Play MMO, MOBA or productivity-heavy titles where more buttons mean more macros
✔ Want adjustable scroll wheel resistance — fine-tune tactile feedback for gaming and productivity
Consider something else if…
✖ You need wireless — see Razer Basilisk V2 Pro or Razer Basilisk V2 HyperSpeed
✖ You want the lightest possible mouse — at ~92g the Basilisk V2 is feature-rich but not ultralight
✖ You are left-handed — the Basilisk V2 is right-hand only
