Razer Basilisk Mouse, BlackWidow Ultimate Mechanical Keyboard Launched in India: Price, Features

Razer Basilisk customisable gaming mouse has been launched in India. The new mouse, targeted at gamers who are looking for a solution to enhance their experience for FPS gaming, is now available in the country with a price tag of Rs. 5,499. Bengaluru-based distributor Kaira Global has brought the Razer Basilisk to the Indian market with a one-year warranty. The distributor has also launched Razer BlackWidow Ultimate mechanical gaming keyboard with at a price of Rs. 9,999.

Equipped with a Razer 5G true 16,000 DPI optical sensor, the Razer Basilisk is designed to offer accuracy and precision for FPS gamers. It is also touted to have a lifespan of 50 million clicks, far more than what you can expect from a traditional optical mouse. There is up to 450 inches per second (IPS)/ 50 G acceleration and 1000Hz Ultrapolling. The mouse has a gaming-grade tactile scroll wheel with customisable resistance and includes two removable clutch (short/ long) buttons that are fully programmable and can be set for actions such as push-to-talk and item pick-up. A rubber thumb cap has also been included for players who don't want to opt for the clutch buttons. Coming back to the scroll wheel, it can be adjusted via a dial on its underside to let gamers increase or decrease its resistance. This majorly helps if a gamer wants to adjust the jump activation in a game to a preferred level of resistance.

There are Razer mechanical mouse switches for a premium clicking experience. Further, the mouse has an ergonomic right-handed design with enhanced rubber side grips, eight independently programmable Hyperresponse buttons. Razer has provided its Chroma lighting with true 16.8-million customisable colour options. Besides, the Razer Basilisk mouse measures 124x75x43mm and weighs 107 grams.

Razer BlackWidow Ultimate, on the other hand, comes with water- and dust-resistant features through an IP54-rated build. It has a lifespan of 80 million keystrokes and includes Razer Green Mechanical Switch.
