SeekerASUS ROG Chakram
The ASUS ROG Chakram is an impressive mouse for FPS gaming. It has outstanding click latency and feels very well-built. It's also suitable for most hand sizes when you use it with a claw or palm grip. The lift-off distance is very low, which is great if you need to reposition your mouse while gaming. It has a unique, programmable joystick that you can program to act like an analog stick or like a four-direction digital stick. Unfortunately, the mouse is quite heavy, and its braided cable retains a lot of kinks.

A good wireless gaming mouse with some excellent features and performance, but it's held back by the hefty price and a thumbstick in search of a purpose.
