Review: Razer Basilisk V4 Pro: This Mouse Has an AI Button, but Otherwise It’s Great
The Razer Basilisk V4 Pro gaming mouse arrives as the successor to the Basilisk V3 Pro, priced at roughly double that of the popular Logitech G502. The V4 Pro features an extensive array of programmable buttons, an advanced scroll wheel, RGB lighting customization, and high-end internal components. Unlike ultra-lightweight gaming mice optimized for competitive esports, the Basilisk series embraces a heavier, wider ergonomic design that prioritizes comfort during extended use. While this approach makes it less suitable for fast-paced first-person shooter gameplay, the V4 Pro is well-suited for other gaming genres and general productivity work that benefits from its extensive button configuration and feature set. A notable addition to the V4 Pro is an AI-powered button, reflecting broader industry integration of artificial intelligence features in consumer peripherals. The review examines whether the mouse’s premium pricing is justified by its advanced capabilities and overall performance compared to established competitors like Logitech’s flagship offerings.
