Gigabyte AORUS M5
The Gigabyte AORUS M5 is decent for FPS gaming. The click latency should be good enough for most gamers, but if you mostly play fast-paced FPS games, you may prefer something more responsive-feeling. Also, it's very heavy, even without its extra weights, so fans of light mice may be disappointed. Also, the rubber cable feels cheap and isn't very flexible. That said, it feels well-built and has a right-handed shape that's suitable for most hand sizes using any grip type. It has a low lift-off distance, and you can adjust the set CPI in increments of 50 within a wide range.
