Razer Basilisk V4 Pro Debuts With 50K Sensor and 14 Controls

Razer has introduced a new generation of its familiar right-handed Basilisk gaming mouse. Announced on October 8, 2026, the Basilisk V4 Pro focuses on the parts players use constantly: buttons, the scroll wheel, wireless responsiveness and switching between devices. A companion Basilisk V4 HyperSpeed model and Mouse Dock V2 Pro were announced alongside it.

This is a launch announcement, not a hands-on review. The specifications below come from Razer, and real-world battery life, latency and comfort still need independent testing.

The headline changes

The Basilisk V4 Pro has 14 customizable controls, including a repositioned multi-function trigger, a third side button and a new button along the left-click edge. The updated HyperScroll Tilt Wheel Gen-2 supports a conventional 24-step tactile mode, a finer 48-step mode, free-spin scrolling and a Smart-Reel mode that can switch between tactile and free-spin behavior. That makes the changes relevant to more than shooters: the extra controls and scroll options could also help with productivity shortcuts or games with crowded hotbars.

Inside, Razer specifies a Focus Pro 50K Optical Sensor Gen-3 with a maximum 50,000 DPI, 930 inches per second tracking and 90G acceleration. HyperSpeed Wireless Gen-2 supports polling up to 8,000Hz in both wireless and wired operation. These are capability ceilings, not a promise that every PC or game will feel meaningfully faster. High polling settings can increase resource use and battery drain.

The company also lists fourth-generation optical mouse switches rated for 100 million clicks, seven customizable RGB lighting zones with underglow and a lighter chassis than the previous generation. Razer says the battery can last up to 200 hours at 1,000Hz in HyperSpeed mode or up to 275 hours over Bluetooth 6.2. Those figures should not be confused with battery life at 8,000Hz with lighting enabled.

One mouse, several devices

A notable practical addition is five-way connectivity: one HyperSpeed wireless connection, Bluetooth pairing for up to three devices, and wired operation. If you move between a desktop, laptop and tablet, switching connections may be more useful than a higher maximum DPI figure.

Razer's new Mouse Dock V2 Pro combines magnetic charging with an integrated 8,000Hz transceiver. It is a separate accessory, not something buyers should assume comes in the base mouse box. Razer also lists compatible alternatives in its wireless charging lineup.

For a lower-priced option, the Basilisk V4 HyperSpeed uses a Focus X 33K Optical Sensor Gen-3, 12 customizable controls and a claimed 140 hours of wireless battery life. Razer lists it at US$109.99, compared with US$169.99 for the Pro.

What will it cost in the Philippines?

Razer's US store lists the Basilisk V4 Pro at approximately ₱10,666 (US$169.99) and the Basilisk V4 HyperSpeed at approximately ₱6,901 (US$109.99), using a reference exchange rate of ₱62.745 per US dollar from October 10, 2026. These peso amounts are currency conversions only, not official Philippine suggested retail prices. They exclude any local taxes, shipping, importer markups or promotions. Philippine launch pricing and local stock were not confirmed in the announcement.

For buyers, the question is whether the scroll wheel, extra controls and multi-device flexibility justify a premium over an existing mouse. The 50K sensor and 8,000Hz headline numbers are impressive on paper, but shape, weight and reliable tracking at normal settings will matter more for many players.
