Razer is on a streak lately, with three new mouse releases including today's announcement of the new customizable Basilisk gaming mouse. The difference with this mouse is its audience, as it is aimed squarely at people who play FPS games.

Razer Basilisk is all about the FPS

Featuring a 5G optical sensor for those who disfavor laser ones, the Basilisk (named after the legendary reptile reputed to be king of serpents) also adds a customizable scroll wheel and clutch (trigger) for gamers who want precision and comfort. That optical sensor is the same as the one found in the Razer DeathAdder Elite and Razer Lancehead Tournament Edition.

Razer describes the scroll wheel customizability as such:

The mouse offers a continuum of scroll wheel resistances to choose from. The scroll wheel can be adjusted via a dial on its underside for increased or decreased resistance to fit the preferences of each gamer. This can be especially useful for gamers who bind jump to their scroll wheel and are looking to adjust the jump activation to a preferred level of resistance.

The removable clutch is a configurable side trigger that when held down activates a temporary feature. There are two clutches included in the box – one short, one long – and an end cap if users do not want to use it at all.
