The Razer Basilisk V2 is the king of mid-tier gaming mice. It has 11 programmable buttons, including a thumb paddle that acts as both a sensitivity clutch as well as any secondary action you assign. With the Razer Synapse 3 program, re-mapping these buttons is a breeze. The mouse has on-board memory to store up to five different layout profiles.

Reviewers from tomsguide have found the following***:
Razer's Basilisk V2 mouse has an adjustable scroll wheel, two finely textured finger grips, better gliding feet and a more accurate sensor that offers DPI up to 20,000. The mouse also has the signature "clutch," a small, optional thumb button that's especially helpful for dots-per-inch (DPI) sensitivity-lowering maneuvers. To reprogram buttons or adjust the RGB lighting, you use the Razer Synapse software.
