FAQ
Is the Basilisk V3 Pro worth the extra $61?
Only for gamers. The 30K optical sensor, lighter weight, and RGB are real advantages for competitive play. For productivity work, the MX Master 3S is the better value and the better tool.
Which mouse is better for video editing?
The MX Master 3S. The MagSpeed wheel and gesture buttons map cleanly to timeline scrubbing and shortcuts, and Flow lets you edit across a laptop and desktop seamlessly.
Does the MX Master 3s work on glass?
Yes. The Darkfield sensor tracks on glass and other high-gloss surfaces where most optical sensors, including the Basilisk, struggle or fail.
Which has better software?
Logitech Options+ is lighter and more intuitive. Razer Synapse is powerful but heavier, and it requires an account for cloud sync, which some users dislike.
