Razer Basilisk V2

The Razer Basilisk V2 is an excellent mouse for FPS games. Its sensor performance is outstanding and its click latency is very low. The mouse feels comfortable to use, especially with a claw or palm grip, although people with smaller hands might have trouble reaching the sniper button. It also isn't the lightest mouse, but the cable is very lightweight and doesn't keep kinks, which is great.
