Buy the Logitech G305 Wireless Mouse.

It does everything a gaming mouse needs to do, weighs less, costs less, and has years of proof behind it.

What was compared

1. Half the price for a mouse that does the job
The G305 sells for $29.99 against the Basilisk V3 X's $69.99, more than double for buttons and RGB most people never touch. Same core job, tracking and clicking, for less than half the money.
2. Lighter hand, less fatigue on long sessions
At 89g the G305 gives up 18g to the Basilisk's 107g, and that gap shows up every time you flick across the screen for hours. A lighter mouse tires your wrist less, and that matters more than any button count.
3. A track record the Basilisk hasn't matched
Owners report G305 units still going strong after 3-4 years of daily use, with people still recommending it years after launch. Basilisk V3 X owners report freezing connections and choppiness that just don't come up nearly as often with the G305.
4. Battery claims you can actually trust
G305 owners consistently report 3-9 months per single AA battery, matching what Logitech promises. Basilisk V3 X owners report the dongle draining batteries fast with inaccurate readouts, a real gap between the spec sheet and daily use.
5. Yes, it has more buttons. You won't press them.
The Basilisk V3 X packs 9 programmable buttons, a tilting scroll wheel and Chroma RGB against the G305's 6 buttons and no lighting. Unless you're binding a dozen MOBA or MMO skills, those extras just add weight, cost and battery drain, and that's not most buyers.
