Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum
The Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum is good for FPS gaming. It has low click latency, it feels well-built, and it has a comfortable right-handed shape that's well-suited for larger hands using any grip type. It also has a sniper button that lets you shift to a custom CPI setting while it's held. Unfortunately, it's heavy, its cable isn't very flexible, and the mouse feet don't glide well directly on desks. The sensor on our model is also fairly inconsistent and undershoots during fast cursor movements.

The Logitech G502 is a solid gaming mouse with a ton of useful features and excellent performance. The software lets you make adjustments that can be either radical or superficial, and the included weights are a nice touch that further improve accuracy. I think some of the buttons are awkwardly placed, and the textured portions left my fingers feeling a bit worn down after extended use, though. Still, I loved the features, attention to detail, and software suite.
