Razer launches Basilisk V3 with HyperScroll wheel and Chroma RGB

Razer has a new addition to its mouse line-up launching today. The new Razer Basilisk V3 is a wired gaming mouse, featuring 11 programmable buttons, an intelligent scroll wheel and plenty of RGB goodness powered by Razer Chroma.

The Basilisk mouse first launched back in 2017 and over the years, Razer has tweaked the design and introduced improvements. With the Basilisk V3, buyers can expect 11 programmable buttons, as well as the latest version of the Razer HyperScroll Tilt Wheel, offering three modes – tactile scrolling, which offers high-precision, notched scrolling, Free-Scroll mode, which offers smooth, notch-free scrolling and finally, Smart-Reel Mode, which automatically shifts between the two previous modes.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
