Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed

Unfortunately, the Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed is only decent for FPS games as it's quite heavy, and you won't be able to react as quickly with it in-game. That said, it has extremely low click latency and an ergonomic shape that's well-suited to all grip types and most hand sizes.

The Basilisk X HyperSpeed proves specs don’t tell the full story by offering nigh identical performance to newer--and more expensive--models.

The Basilisk X Hyperspeed is a decent enough mouse at a fair price, but it leaves out a lot of important features.
