This Black Friday deal makes it even better value than normal, dragging the price of this Razer Basilisk V3 X HyperSpeed mouse down to just £38.49, saving you 45% on its usual price. Newer models like the V3 Pro and V3 Pro 35K might have superseded this solid performer, but this is still a great option, especially for under £40.

Don’t think that low price means you’re settling for low specs, though. Budget-friendly as this Razer mouse might be, it delivers with a decent spec sheet, including an 18,000 DPI sensor, which can track up to 450 inches per second, with an acceleration rate of 40G. It features the familiar ergonomic design used on other Basilisk models, with a shape that is comfortable for long periods.

It also gives you easy access to seven different programmable buttons, as well as the tilting scroll wheel, which you can set up to use macros or quick commands using Razer’s Synapse control software.

Synapse is also where you can configure your DPI settings, along with presets which you can quickly toggle between using a button on the bottom of the mouse. You can also set up your RGB preferences, setting up different lighting effects for different environments, as well as setting up colors to work in Chroma-integrated games.

This is a fully wireless version of the original Basilisk V3, with the ability to use Razer’s low-latency HyperSpeed wireless mode over 2.4GHz, or Bluetooth, to connect your mouse to your PC or laptop. Razer reckons that you’ll get a huge 535 hours on Bluetooth, with a reduced 285 hours on HyperSpeed, and all on a single AA battery.

If you’re using basic, office-grade peripherals, this £38.49 Razer Basilisk V3 X HyperSpeed gaming mouse will feel like a significant upgrade. If it doesn’t run out of stock, it’ll certainly jump back up in price after Black Friday, so make sure to jump on it before it does.
