Corsair KATAR PRO XT

The Corsair KATAR PRO XT is a great ultra-light gaming mouse. It's quite lightweight, feels very well-built, and is suitable for most hand sizes using a claw or fingertip grip. It has a low click latency and a high maximum polling rate. The paracord-like cable is fairly flexible, although it does retain some kinks.
