New Razer Basilisk V4 executes perfect 180 degree turns at the click of a button, all while looking like a Power Ranger's foot
It also feels rather fancy, but I can hear the protests about its quick spinning feature from here...
The Razer Basilisk V4, an ergonomically shaped gaming mouse, has been making waves at Gamescom. Available in two variants - Basilisk V4 Pro and Basilisk V4 HyperSpeed - the Pro version is priced at $170 and the HyperSpeed at $110. The Pro features a 50K optical sensor with 930 IPS tracking speed and 90G acceleration, while the HyperSpeed uses a 33K sensor with 500 IPS tracking.
Both models support 8K polling in wired and wireless modes and include four side buttons, one of which can be configured to enable a "Perfect 180" feature. This feature allows for a full 180-degree aim adjustment with a single click, potentially giving players an unfair advantage. The mouse's design is praised for its shape, well-placed side buttons, and comfortable tilt.
The mice are charged wirelessly via the Razer Mouse Dock V2 Pro or existing Razer wireless charging pads. They also boast Razer's Gen-4 tactile switches for precision. With up to 200 hours of battery life on HyperSpeed Wireless Gen-2 at 1,000 Hz and up to 275 hours via Bluetooth 6.2, the Basilisk V4 seems to be a compelling addition to Razer's lineup, though its controversial feature might stir some debate among gamers.
