Razer has a strong gaming mouse with the Basilisk Essential that also hits at a strong price point. The MSRP on this is only $49.99 and features enough tech for gamers to feel a difference and not break the bank. The DPI clutch is a nice and useful addition but may take some time to properly get comfortable with incorporating it. The overall feel of the mouse is light and floaty, and it feels like a charm to use. Including long-lasting mechanical switches and a touch of RGB, it’s hard to beat a gaming mouse like this for that price.
