ASUS ROG Pugio II

The ASUS ROG Pugio II is a good FPS gaming mouse. It has a sturdy-feeling build, very good click latency, and an ambidextrous shape suitable for all grip types and nearly all hand sizes. It also has a wide CPI range and a very low lift-off distance. Unfortunately, the companion software is only compatible with Windows, and you can only adjust the CPI in increments of 100.
