The certified refurbished Razer Basilisk gaming mouse is a temperamental beast, especially when it's operating in Bluetooth mode. (You can use it as a standard BT device - although getting it to successfully pair with your computer can be a frustrating experience - or switch it to use Razer's proprietary dongle.) I found that removing and re-inserting the battery magically allowed Windows 10 to discover it in BT mode - and that this is a common complaint among Basilisk users. The Razer dongle-mode pairing is effortless (and it tracks and reacts much faster than in BT mode), but it requires you to add yet another dongle to your system, and it uses up battery power much faster than BT. I also don't like Razer's relentless insistence on installing its spyware app in order to download and install firmware updates. Being privacy vampires is a user-hostile business model - but, hey, if you play Epic games, for instance, you're probably fine with that. All that said, once installed and updated, the Basilisk is an extremely flexible mouse that you can configure with multiple, game-specific macros. I love the high precision it's capable of (which is especially handy for image editing), and it has great ergonomics. It's the perfect weight, and it feels very comfortable in my hand. I turn off the lighting effects to save battery power, and you'll probably want to do so, as well. It will run on rechargeable batteries, which is a big plus, although you'll have to change them more frequently than if you use alkalines, of course. All in all, I'm pretty happy with my Basilisk, despite the Bluetooth pairing issue, and Razer's bullying about creating an account, just to update its firmware. It looks good, it FEELS good, and it works very well for my needs. My refurbished model was fairly inexpensive for a mid-range gaming mouse, and I have no hesitation about recommending a refurbed unit. Buy one, and see for yourself ...Read full review

I'm really happy with this product, I use it on my main Desktop and my iPad, and easily the best mouse I've ever had. The only issue I've had (which is of the design, not the specific mouse) is tracking left is a little difficult since there's no pad on the left of the mouse. I'm really happy to have bought this mouse refurbished. Also, includes the receiver, in case you were wondering. Overall, really recomment it.
