EVGA X17

The EVGA X17 is a good FPS gaming mouse. It feels well-built and has a comfortable, right-handed shape suitable for all grip types and most hand sizes. However, it isn't suitable for small hands using any grip type or medium-sized hands using a fingertip grip. Performance-wise, it has good click latency, a very high maximum polling rate of 8000Hz, a very low lift-off distance, and you can adjust the CPI precisely by increments of 50 within a broad range. Unfortunately, it's heavy even without its added weights, and its braided cable isn't very flexible. The sensor on our model is also fairly inconsistent and undershoots the set CPI considerably during faster movements.
