The MX 3S is the latest and greatest for productivity from logi, but it is too heavy for contemporary demands. I hope MX 4 will drop the weight. If you want ergonomics, the Razer DeathAdder v3 Pro is fine (no Bluetooth, though). The best all-in-one (productivity, gaming, ergonomics, RGB lighting, and Bluetooth) might be the Asus ROG Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition mouse. Don't thank me ))
quick question, how did you do the slow tracking for the polling rate testing you did at about 14:00?
Coolermaster mastermouse mm710 and new variants.
Basically you want the lightest thing with the lightest cord you can get, to stop that strain on your arms and wrists, etc.
I don't use wireless because it's added things that can break and added latency, even if small.
@@ssjsqueak I recorded the screen and used "echo" effect in premiere with "maximum" setting to overlay. neat trick.
japan has many war crimes in ww2 would be interesting for someone as smart as you to give your opinion on this issue
Great video. no fluff, just tech. Love it! That polling info was great I had no idea that BT was that much worse than the dongle.

@TechLead need your help! How you managed to solve the issue of Basilisk V3 Pro side buttons, "sniper" button and the wheel left-right buttons? They are just do not work((( Thanks!
I jumped on your video today by chance, very very helpful, what about the G502 Wireless version the one you have wired. what do you think about that one.....I need to buy one now and I am stuck between the razer basilisk and the logitech G502 hero wireless version..
This was really helpful, thanks! Please do a video for the best keyboard for gaming/productivity as well
how come my razor deathadder v2 pro has bt so you don't need dungle? Also has rgb on mine. I do like what you recommended and have dual mouse setup mx master 3s and razor deathadder v2 pro. I don't mind gaming on mx master for fps either as I have high dpi and the weight helps on the low travel. Actually moving to deathadder was more of a learning curve.
Returning my G502 Hero... way too small/narrow of a mouse. I found my hand cramping pretty quickly the first hr or so of use. Is the razer basilisk v3 just as narrow of a mouse?
How do you feel about mmo mice? Like the razer naga or something similar?
Can I ask which Arcteryx jacket that is? I came for the mouse video but I really like that jacket. I have the Atom LT hoodie that looks similar but yours look nicer than mine :)
Thank you for the indepth review. I am looking for a new mouse for a mix of productivity and casual gaming but features are super important.
Thank you so much for this video. Its like you been reading my questions and answering them 1 by 1... cheers !!
I picked up the DeathAdder V3 pro and the Razer Pro Click mouse last year. Pro Click was very smooth and quiet as well as taller in the hand. All around a great productivity mouse.
But you do it as a millionaire
@@HotShotLion
What is your opinion on the glorious model o wireless?
Nice comparison. Yo, mind if I ask if basilisk works on glass?
Thank you! Tou described my exact use case of being hot swappable from gaming pc to a work mac. Finally have a good reason for the basilisk.
Is there any gaming mouse with silent click?
Cause the mx Masters 3 s has a Bad polling rate 1250hz
What is that large black pad/surface you mouse on?
You just spanked all those expert youtube reviewers, this is how a review is done. You got skills for reviewing.
I had Logitech mouse fail many times, its like intentionally it will start double click issue after 2 year or so. No matter its 40$ or 150$ mouse.
I have a Logitech G502 Lightspeed wireless (the original). I bought it in 2019 July and I used it for heavy gaming (on average 10-12 hours of use daily). It still retained its battery life, NO double clicking what so ever. Only thing that happened is the rubber coating on the thumb side degraded and peeled off (after 4 years).
All my Logitech mice had double clicking issue after a few years but not this one. I will use this until it dies.
Also the first time I see this but it is gradually and permanently getting slower. I needed to increase my DPI from 1700 to 2800 over the past half a year. But oh well, I can increase it up to 25600 so it has still has 1 or 2 years in it for sure if not more.
I've used my G502 since 2016. All you have to do is take it apart and use a toothbrush with a little isopropyl alcohol on it to scrub the omron switches under the left and right mouse buttons. This will clean them out. Then blow the switches out, and give the alcohol some time to evaporate, and they'll continue working again for years. They just get gummed up after a few years of use. Literally any mouse will.
Hi, I have an out of context question: do you think that with the advent of ChatGPT there could be a reduction in requests for Junior Developers?
How abt g pro x superlight? Using it for office and gaming, gave up mx3 due to its weight
Thanks a lot. Very informative and on the point video. It helped me to decide my next mouse
best yearly vid on this chanel already dropped, great job!
Just wait. It's still early. He'll soon reveal his new incredible venture called _Billionaire Token._ Save up so you can be ready to invest in it. /s
Based on my experience, I use all the button on my G502 hero, mainly for media player, the original DPI selector, I use it for volume control, the side buttons for forward and backward, and the sniper button for Play/Pause. Use it pretty much all the time, all day everyday.
Good video, I will have to check out some of these mice.
Have you coded anything lately
a lighter alternatives for Razer Basilisk V3 Pro?
Quick tip for Logi MX3 when using the browser:
Before pressing CTR check first if the wheel is still spinning, or you'll get zoom 1000x 😲
Haha, I feel this comment. Learned this the hard way. I thought I was the only one 😂
Very good explenation about this mouses. I would like to ask you if Razer Basilisk V3 WIRED good, because I have some problem with my scroll wheel with other mouse I have at the moment. I need good wired mouse.
I have one, and it's pretty good. The only thing I would worry about is the durability of the cluch that switches between tactile and smooth.
Excellent, as usual. Your presentation is extremely airtight and logical. Great job!!
thanks for your review. I decided to get myself a Razer Basilisk v3 (wired).
I have had the Logitech MX 2 and the MX 3, and in both the left button started to fail after one year of use.
The wheel also failed in the MX3, it gets stuck, and when you try to scroll it clicks instead.
Will Razer Basilisk be better? Or maybe the brand Mad Catz?
Some reviews say the problem with Razer is their software and the connection.
i also had 2 logitech mouses that fail too soon like less than 1 year each. G602 and G604. after that i switched to Razer Naga pro, 2 years now and it doesnt fail yet but shows wear and aging now. i do heavy vfx editing and gaming. one downside is razer dont have mac software so i have to setup the buttons on windows.
The kensington expert track ball is the best productivity mouse I’ve used.
I have or have had several of these mice. My favorite is the roccat leader. Has all the buttons of g502 plus some. Specifically it has the 2 extra buttons to the right of the right click. These buttons are great for push to talk and other things. Allows you to continue working while still able to left click etc. I wish more companies put the extra buttons to the right of right click because these buttons are much more useful then the ones they put to the left of left click.
Just bought the mx 3s last week. I am very happy with it.
Very helpful review, thanks
Thinking about buying Basilisk V3 Pro to use with my iMac + Windows. Important thing for me to know: will the SMART-REEL MODE work on Mac? Thanks in advance!
If someone is looking for an answer to this question, then yes, SMART-REEL MODE works on a Mac if it is first activated on Windows (Razer Synapse)
Can you review the glorious i2 as well?
have you ever tried any corsair mouse i know they mostly have bluetooth wireless mouse
Thank you for broadening our knowledge about mice technology.....I don't need to mess up choosing the best mouse for almost everything now.
Thank you for this elite-level review of these elite-level wireless mice. I expect nothing less from the TechLead.

Very good review not many other reviewers have mentioned what you did on experience on Macs. I didn’t find that out on my Razor RGB Keyboard until I purchased it. Thanks.
Which out of these will be the best for music production???
The thing I hate about the basilisk v3 is the rubber on the thumb rest for some odd reason it peels off this is the second one I own and they both have that issue
can you PLEASE recommend a wireless gaming mouse FOR LEFT-HANDERS. theres really very little info that I can find all these mid to high-end gaming mice are for right-handers
Thank you so much for this video!!
Funny cause I was in a dilemma over deciding on a higher end mouse a few days ago! This video basically solidifies one of two paths I may take. Before I had two cheap gaming mice, I do a mix of work on my machine: design, video editing/rendering, programming, and gaming so I like a powerful and versatile gaming mouse usually. I saw the awesome productivity MX Master 3S mouse at BestBuy and bit the bullet! I agree it is hands down a top knotch mouse for general office work and development. However, it lacks the style and flaire of a gaming mouse with no LEDs (fair because it's not a gaming mouse). Now I'm contempleting getting a second equivalent design and ergonomically comfortable gaming mouse to match it and not using my old cheap mice. I'll be building a highend desktop in some months and need some new gear to match the upgrade as well!
I'm so happy you gave the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro your official thumbs up as the current ultimate productivity + gaming mouse. I can either return my MX Master 3S and get the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro or I can have both, either work for me. The MX Master 3S is so nice I have no problem keeping it for future use as I want to transition to mice with nice comfy thumb grips from now on, no issue with switching between them based on usage but it looks like the Razer Basilisk will do everything I want in a great all-in-one solution if I decide to go that route too. The MX Master 3S has some really nifty features you often don't find in gaming mice that truly benefit office work and multi-tasking like switching tabs on the fly too.
I just got the MX Master 2S and it's amazing. I assume the 3S improves in almost every aspect, so I urge you to keep that one. However, I have used Razer's Basilisk V2 for the last couple of years and it's served me incredibly well. Its ergonomic shape lets my hand rest perfectly onto it. Since the design is near identical to that of the Basilisk V3 Pro, I really wouldn't return that either. Both are superb quality ergo mice and there's a reason why people hold both of them in such high regard.
That was a goddamn amazing review/comparison video mate. 10/10.
Great video thanks, I wanted an 'all in one' and I was drawn to the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro - I did at first want the MX3s but did not like the form factor, felt too claw like to me so think I will go for the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro as I thought :)
Which mouse do you use personally?
Guys whcih is better? Razer Basilisk V3 x HyperSpeed or Razer Viper V3 Hyperspeed?
Mx 3s has been great to me. Love all the options you have when paired up with the keyboard, it’s an amazing work experience.
Mx 3s is the worst mouse ever created, it is not working properly, the wheel issue is the most serious disadvantage of this mouse, but also there many other issues with it
Which mx? Master or anywhere?
@@rifqi96 master
@@turbo568 The problem really is that the 3s are not a beginner's mouse. Using this mouse is an art and takes time to master.
@@SirMonk it's not about the art and I'm not a beginner, it's just the problem of this particular model. The wheel is not working properly at least for some items produced in 2023.
For Basilisk, are you able to make customization on Windows then just use it on Mac?
Nope
Simplest and fool-proof way to customize the Razer mice on MacOS is to do all the customization of it on a Windows machine and then store those profiles on the mouse itself. Except very few features that are clearly indicated with "Synapse Only", each configuration and setup will work on MacOS as well. Once you configure it to your liking on the Windows machine, store the profile on the mouse and then just connect it to your Mac and voila - everything works perfectly.
What about the glorious model I?
Pretty sure it was the Logitech MX-3 Master I originally got when I got my M1 MacMini while it was super-newly released, in hopes that the thumb side-scroll wheel would work well. It was Bluetooth.
How well did it work? It was the shittiest experience I’d ever had, with delays of several seconds between rolling it and getting a response. Was it perchance a problem with their drivers or the Bluetooth stack/HID stack in the version of the OS? Perhaps, but it wasn’t worth wasting time and effort on it once I saw it behaved poorly on my other Macs as well.
So I returned it and found the Logitech G502 Hero SE or whatever the exact name, wired, as I was done dealing with Bluetooth. For a mouse, it works very well, and I especially love the free-wheeling center mouse wheel, and it’s a shame they went stupid on that, as that’s one of the nicest features of the mouse for me for productivity: the side buttons and enabling side-to-side motions, I’m just not coordinated enough to not mess that up in fine maneuvering scenarios, and that’s also a problem I found with the MX3 regardless of all else: if you push a button hard enough on the side to register it, likely you’ll move the rest of the mouse the wrong way, so that sucks if you’ve not got that finesse: I suspect that’s a large part of why it was made that heavy as well in comparison to everything else.
The software experience... does it pop up bloatware everytime you plugin?
The Basilisk V3 (not the Pro version) is the real successor of the G502 (Proteus Core/Hero): optical switches, a far better mouse wheel, better side surfaces (the sides of the G502 regularly need to be cleaned) and no double click bug after using it for several months. The disadvantages compared to the G502 are the two missing buttons on the top left and the non-adjustable weight. The Basilisk V3 also feels a bit less valueable at the beginning until you get used to its material and lighter weight. The only thing I miss is one small button on the right side either to replace the aim button on the left (which is imho too far away for practial usage, anyhow) or generally for an additional function (like fastly switching to hypershift mode with your pinkie or ring finger which otherwise have nothing to do, at all).
forgot to mention its shitty quality hence unreliability
had my non pro version for 3 years, still holding up great but I got the pro version
@@SemenDoctor you must be very lucky
@@g3_angolddon’t forget its random malfunctions like freezing, blinking, stutters, etc.
Best comparison. It's exactly my case scenario. And comparison between mises I actually were looking for.
Best explanation. Thanks very much!
I use the G604 for gaming, work, and going into the office.
No issues with the scroll wheel ratcheting. And of course, it's cordless.
What about the scrolling issues of MX Master 3S ? Is it resolved ?
Nop. Is really weird that he review the scroll saying is one of the best, since don't do the basic task of not flicking while you are scrolling.
I really just want a variant of the mx master that's got some better gaming features; slightly lighter, better glide pads, the ability to charge via the wireless mousepad, yadayada. I used the mx revolution that got released in 2005/6 and I absolutely loved it. used it till it died. I want to go back to a mouse like that one day. I want something that doesn't look like an epic gamer mouse but that can actually function as one.
Same, i basically want the exact same build as the MX Master 3 but with higher polling rate
Because of this video, I have just noticed that my g502 wears down on the thumb grip rubber.
True fact, I change from the palm grip to the claw grip and I now have less bugs in my code.
AWESOME video! 10/10. Thank you man!
Excellent! 👍
Very effective & efficient review.
Thanks, millionaire
Sad thing about Mx 3s is that it doesn't have toggle and repeat options around Logi Options +. G hub in the other hand does have this options.
I have the basilisk and the scroll wheel has a lot of errors where it scrolls the wrong direction. This appears to be a common problem even straight out of the box.
I’ve been considering replacing my wired V2 Basilisk with a new V3. Is this still a problem?
Tried the G502x lightspeed - Had the same issues... the clicks sound very loud and hollow, the scroll wheel either has a loud ratchet sound or when in free mode it sometimes spins/scrolls on its own which is very annoying for such an expensive mouse :( - Might give that razer a try
Just bought Basilisk v3Pro to replace my old G502 wireless, very good choice comparing to material quality, the wheel behavior, optical switches etc. I like it much more than even G502X plus!!!!.. yes, I tried it too, and it had a defective wheel, no kidding, it's really one step back Logitech.
So I replace it with Razer.. Do not regret about it :)
Exactly the review I was looking for
Great video. Love the chair by the way. Just noticed it, same one that I have.
Hey man, as a developer you truly reflect the feels and needs of everyone else in the industry ! Covered all my pain points when I was looking for the mouse, and without having to struggle, finally I found the best based on your review ! Also subscribing for more such content!
Nice review. Wish it included at least 1 vertical mouse such as the MX Vertical
I have MX Vertical, it fixed my wrist pains was having trying to use a small mouse like MX anywhere. It's pretty much inferior to MX master 3 in every way except ergonomics. But for me the ergonomics is more important.
Brilliant video. Loved your sense of humour.
Thanks everyone is recommending the 502 your perspective is appreciated.
why not g502 lightspeed?
Being honest - how do they all compare to Logitech M100 ?
Thanks for this great video! I'm also on Mac, but like you, I think I would prefer the Basilisk, for all the reasons you say. I've given the Magic Mouse a try for over a year and I've come to hate pretty much everything about it, including the fact that it seems to have a mind of its own (and we don't see eye to eye). Cheers!
I am surprised that you didn't review the G502 Lightspeed as a replacement option for the G502. It is the logical mouse choice that has to be in this review. I was looking for the same - having good productivity/coding/gaming mouse and regular traveling, it is the mouse that won the battle for me. Great review nonetheless!
he actually doesn't like the lightspeed and prefers the hero because of the scrollwheel being worse, same with the g502x plus
I am very happy with the g502 hero (wired) for what it's worth got it on a sale.
Has Razr commented as to why they don't support Synapse 3 on the Mac platform? I believe Steel Series, Logitech and others support both platforms and are updating on a regular. I really want to get that "Razer Basilisk V3 Pro" but without the software support, it feels like a crippled device. Thanks for the video!
That’s why Razer is garbage
Wow, this is an awesome review!
DeathAdder V2 Pro still my favorite. palm grip ergo no glossy parts that feel sticky and overall easier to handle than Basilisk shape.
The G502 Hero has this cable only in some regio version like the older EU version while some regio versions has a plastic cable like the newer German version. That's quite annoying because my roommate and his brother have the old EU version while I only got the newer German version.
The "snipe" button on the G502 can also be remapped. Plus on any G502 mouse, you can click the scroll wheel down, but also side to side (left or right), so that's 9 programmable buttons in total, not including the left and right mouse buttons.
I'm a huge fan of the Logitech M305, because it's small & light. I have small hands. When I use bigger mouses (mice?), I get hand cramps.
Currently using the Logitech G604 which borrows a lot of the G502, wi tmore of a stealthy look. It has bluetooth/dongle connectivity, hyperfast scroll wheel. Plus 8 programmable keys that I use for quick action macros. I guess no rgb, and slightly heavy would be the cons.
Same here, love my 604 for gaming, also have the MX master s2 for 3+ years for non gaming PC use, now saw an offer for an 502 lightspeed for 150$ with Starfield as a gift and strongly considering buying it.
please tell me if I'm wrong saying that the scrolling wheel on G502 X Plus is just a complete garbage :(
What about SteelSeries mice?
I got the razer naga v2 pro, it shuts itself off or stops moving randomly, anyone having this issue ?
also, synapse is actual garbage, does logitech have anything like the naga ? except the g600 which is wired
My g602, best ever, is starting to drop chess pieces while dragging. I might give the basilisk v3 pro a shot, but the mx master looks comfy.
Hopefully you'll review the roccat kone xp air
I use the Aerox 5 on Mac, it has bluetooth and rgb. Feels and looks good, just not a fan of the klick sound.
I just purchased the normal Basilisk V3 and not the pro. It's got wire and it's not Bluetooth. So far it's been great and I love it.
You do realize you can put the dongle in the mouse right?
Strip the wired mouse parts and replace the wheel in the wireless one make it abit heavier
unpopular opinion: i have the mx master 3 and i think buying the 3s is worth it for the silent clicking. Just a small detail that makes sense: productivity mice should be silent if you are bringing it to libraries, classrooms, studyrooms, etc. The same reason why even if you like the sound of thocky keyboards, you wouldn't bring one out to public.
Logitech G903 wireless is great also have the 502X which I still use at my other computer as a non-millionaire.
r the clicks fuckn silent tho?
For me important thing is having switch of computer on top of mouse not on the bottom since I click it very often
