Buy the Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse.
It does the actual job of a gaming mouse better and has years of proof behind it, while the Basilisk V3 X is still building its reputation.

Five reasons
1. 36,663 reviews don't lie, 2,343 might
The G305 sits at 4.6 stars across 36,663 ratings. The Basilisk V3 X has 2,343 ratings at 4.4 stars. That is not a close sample size, it is years of proven daily use versus a mouse still early in its track record.
2. HERO sensor is the real deal, not a number
Logitech's HERO sensor is widely documented as one of the most accurate, drift-free sensors in gaming, full stop. The Basilisk's 18K DPI sounds bigger but almost nobody plays above 3,200 DPI, so that spec is bragging rights, not performance.
3. 96g of mouse, nothing extra to fail
At 3.4 oz the G305 is built to disappear in your hand during long sessions. The Basilisk V3 X carries Chroma RGB and mechanical switch electronics that add weight and battery draw for zero gameplay benefit.
4. Settings live on the mouse, not the cloud
G305 stores its profile with on-board memory, so it works the same on any PC with zero software running. That is one less thing to break compared to relying on a companion app staying installed and updated.
5. Yes, Razer has more buttons. Doesn't matter.
The Basilisk V3 X's 9 programmable controls beat the G305's six, real advantage if you are an MMO player who binds a dozen skills. Everyone else, FPS, general desktop, most games, uses 4 to 6 buttons max, so that extra hardware is paying for buttons you will never press.
