Introduction

Founded in 1998, Razer is a US-based peripherals and gaming equipment company. Driven by an AA-battery, the right-handed ergonomic Basilisk V3 X Hyperspeed essentially is the budget version of the Basilisk V3 Pro. The shape is identical, and at 109 g, even the weight is a near match when including the AA-battery. However, the Basilisk V3 X Hyperspeed does lack the tilt scroll wheel and an additional button of the Basilisk V3 Pro, resulting in a total number of seven buttons. Furthermore, RGB lighting only encompasses the scroll wheel on the X Hyperspeed. Without illumination, Razer cites a battery life of up to 285 hours using 2.4 GHz wireless and up to 535 hours using Bluetooth. Unlike the Basilisk V3 Pro, which comes with Razer's latest third-generation optical main button switches, the X Hyperspeed is equipped with Razer's second-generation mechanical main button switches rated for 60 million clicks. PixArt's PAW3369 sensor capable of 18,000 CPI is used, which is already familiar from the Orochi V2. The usual customization options are present within Razer Synapse.
