Which is better for FPS games?

The Lift 2 Ergo. At 61 g with an 8,000 Hz polling rate it is easier to flick and track. The Basilisk's extra buttons and weight suit MMOs and slower-paced play more.

Which has more buttons for MMOs?

The Basilisk V3 35K, with 11 programmable buttons against 6 on the Lift 2 Ergo. That gives you more keybinds without touching the keyboard.

Is the Basilisk worth the extra money?

At $59.99 at Best Buy as of November 8, 2026, it costs more than the Lift 2 Ergo typically does. It is worth it if you need the extra buttons and the 35,000 DPI sensor; otherwise the lighter NZXT is the better value.

The Lift 2 Ergo uses optical switches, which are less prone to the double-click failures that wear out mechanical switches. The Basilisk has the longer track record, with 789 ratings at 4.9 of 5.

Can left-handed gamers use either?

No. The Basilisk is right-hand only, and the Lift 2 Ergo is a right-handed ergonomic shape. Neither is a left-handed mouse.

Which is better for small hands?

The Lift 2 Ergo. At 61 g and 65.1 mm wide it is smaller and lighter. The Basilisk is 3.0 in wide and 5.1 in long, and is not designed for smaller hands.
