SteelSeries Prime Wireless

The SteelSeries Prime Wireless is a great FPS gaming mouse. It's lightweight, and it has a slightly textured, very sturdy feeling solid plastic body. Its right-handed shape is well-suited for nearly all hand sizes using a palm or claw grip and a fingertip grip for larger hands. Performance-wise, you can adjust the CPI setting by increments of 100 within a wide range. It also has a low lift-off distance, though it isn't as low as some gaming mice. Also, while the click latency is good, it's higher than many other similar gaming mice and FPS gamers may prefer something more responsive.
