SeekerASUS ROG Chakram Core
The ASUS ROG Chakram Core is a great FPS gaming mouse. It feels very sturdy and has a right-handed shape well-suited for larger hands using any grip type. It also has a wide CPI range, a CPI you can adjust by increments of 100, a low lift-off distance, and an exceptionally low click latency. Unfortunately, this mouse is heavy, and its braided cable is fairly stiff.
