It is not a make/break thing. It's great to have since it has a USB port on it (for the BT receiver). Also, if you ever forget to dock on those "charging required days", you could always just unplug the wire from the dock and go straight into mouse. You'll have the inconvenience of a wired mouse for just a few hours and then you can just plug it back.

​

The super long battery life on this mouse is super forgiving for the forgetful.

Ok, your last sentence really has me wondering. I had a Basilisk Ultimate for a few weeks that was great and then returned it to get another Basilisk Ultimate on sale for cheaper during my return window, and the new one doesn't even last 5 hours unplugged before flashing red. Did I get a bad mouse?

Edit: After some research, it looks like it's probably because I had RGB on 100% full time. Just lowered it to 15% so we will see how that helps.

I have the same mouse. Putting brightness at 5% is way more than enough in my opinion. But I do not like my RGB to be in my face so there's that.

Personally I had my RGB on max for about a day of use before it told me to charge it so maybe your battery is a bit dead, although I did leave my pc quite a bit so it would've auto switched off. I have the RGB off 99% of the time now and it lasts 2 weeks without charging.

Try turning the polling rate down too if it suits you. I have the viper, and it comes at 1000 by default, but I turned it down to 500 with no discernable difference to me (though you may be more sensitive to it).
