SeekerSteelSeries Aerox 3
The SteelSeries Aerox 3 is excellent for ultra-light gaming. It's lightweight, and its PTFE feet provide a very smooth glide. It has a high polling rate and low click latency to deliver a responsive gaming experience, but it has a high lift-off distance that might be an issue for those who reposition a lot. The cable is a bit stiff; however, it's detachable, so you can swap it out for another one that you like. While the build quality is good overall, there's still some flexing and creaking when squeezing the mouse.
