Its very contained weight of 85 grams allows a certain nervousness for rapid movements while its sensor called True Move Air attach 18,000 DPI and easily handles the movements and acceleration of the fastest players. On the left edge, there are 4 buttons, one of which offers 2 shortcuts, activating up or down. The silver button under the thumb, although a bit far away, also provides good comfort.

What alternative?
More aggressive, the Razer Basilisk V2 does not hide its FPS orientation with its real touch “sniper“allowing the sensitivity to be lowered momentarily. Its sensor Focus + of 20,000 DPI is also very efficient but it is a little heavier, showing 94 grams on the scale. The additional 10 grams may seem anecdotal but the difference is felt.
In its wired version, the Basilisk V2 is currently accessible to € 59.99, which is a reasonable price for a field mouse of this type, but still more expensive than our Rival 5. If you absolutely want an FPS mouse with the sniper key, the Basilisk V2 is a very good mouse
