Prices change, so check the current one before you buy. It's wired, on Razer's Speedflex cable. To configure button mappings, macros, lighting effects and more, Razer says you'll first need to download and install Razer Synapse 3. Razer offers up to 2 years of warranty, and 14 days of risk-free returns if you buy directly from RazerStore.
What can you program on the Basilisk V3?
Razer lists 11 programmable buttons. A programmable button can send a key, a shortcut or a macro instead of its usual click. The mouse stores 5 profiles on board. Razer rates the switches for 70 million clicks.
The wheel is Razer's 4-way HyperScroll tilt wheel, and Razer says it has electronically actuated notched and free-spinning modes. A notched wheel moves in distinct steps; a free-spinning one keeps rolling on its own after a flick. Lighting is Razer Chroma RGB, across 11 lighting zones by Razer's count.

How big and heavy is the Basilisk V3?
Razer lists it at 101 g (3.56 oz) without the cable, and 130 mm long, 75 mm wide and 42.5 mm high. The shape is made for your right hand: Razer describes a right-handed ergonomic design with a thumb rest, which it says means less finger drag for smoother flicks.
What do the Basilisk V3's sensor figures mean?
Razer's Focus+ 26K DPI optical sensor has a maximum of 26,000 DPI. Razer rates the sensor to track movement up to 650 IPS (inches per second) and 50 G of acceleration. Those are the fastest movement and the sharpest acceleration it's rated to follow.
