First Person Shooter, or FPS, games are one of the most common gaming genres out there, but when it comes to gaming mice designed specifically for the genre, there is surprisingly very few out there. Of course, if you ask any professional FPS gamer, it’s easy to understand why. As FPS gaming relies almost solely on the quality of the main switches along with the accuracy of the sensor, FPS gamers typically select simple mice with quality switches and ultra-accurate sensors making gaming mice such as the Zowie EC2, Razer DeathAdder Elite, Logitech G Pro, or SteelSeries Rival 300 some of the most popular gaming mice for FPS gamers.
Of course, Razer isn’t a company that would be satisfied with simply crafting a great back to basics style of mouse. Being one of the most innovative gaming mice companies, Razer recently launched the Basilisk FPS gaming mouse, a new gaming mouse which we’ll be reviewing today. What makes the Basilisk different is that it’s the first Razer mouse designed specifically for FPS gamers. Unlike typical gaming mice, the Razer Basilisk features not only a top notch gaming grade optical sensor and Omron switches, but it also features several additional features such as a sensitivity clutch button and a scroll wheel resistance adjustment for those who want to configure the absolute perfect level of scroll wheel resistance.
