I mostly play single player strategy games, but sometimes I do play competitive FPS games.
I’ve been looking around and see a lot of good things about Zowie. I see a lot of problems with double clicking with Logitech so I’m avoiding those.

The double clicking with logitechs is due to some of them using crappy mechanical switches, specifically Omron 50s. According to /r/MouseReview they've since switched to different ones that shouldn't have the same issue, or at least not any more than the average mechanical switch. You can sidestep the issue entirely if you get something with optical switches, which companies like Razer and Roccat usually use. Logitech also has some optical offerings IIRC.
g502 getting a lot of love in this thread but I'd be wary if you plan to use it for your comp FPS gamering, if only because it runs very heavy and that's considered to be bad for that purpose most of the time, though some people like it more. Up to you in the end.
You'll want to think about the shape of the mouse and how you typically hold yours. I found this guide very helpful, as it gives examples of mice from the different shape families and which caters to which grip style. I came from an MX518 and knew that's the shape I wanted, so I chose a Roccat Kone Pro Air for my new PC build. Still waiting to switch over until I do the whole build but it feels very similar.

Don't EVER get a razer mouse.
The mice are good. All their hardware is good. Their software is utter dog shit. Razer Synapse. It will crash at LEAST twice a day, for no reason. I have run it on 4 or 5 different machines, same story.
Razer Synapse would crash at random, suddenly setting the mouse to default sensitivity in the middle of games. And you couldn't fully quit the program when it crashed. And before I had the Taskkill shortcut, it would restart the processes as you end them in the Task Manager. Only shutting them all off at the same time worked.
I used a razer mouse and keyboard for a while, and I literally had to write a custom Windows shortcut that used Taskkill to force quit all the various Razer processes, and I put that right next to the Razer Synapse launch button. Constantly killing and restarting the fucking thing.
I kept my Razer keyboard because I didn't have any fancy custom keys, so it was just the colors that would constantly fuck up.
I tried downloading Razer Synapse 2 instead of 3, but it literally just wouldn't open the program on my normal ass windows 10 machine.
Logitech has a similar program, Ghub, that not only crashes a lot less, you can also load all the settings onto the mouse and turn the program completely off and never have to worry about the mouse settings getting fucked up. You can even leave Ghub running to control other peripherals like keyboard, headphones etc. but leave the mouse on Onboard Memory mode.
Fuck Razer Synapse.
honestly I can't do razer because of their aesthetic aesthetic (outside a headset I got as a gift) but they've got good hardware - Deathadder v3 pro is well regarded in esports iirc.
By default it feels very light. Even with all the weights added in it's not particularly heavy.
Really? Never used one but online it says it's 121 grams, with most pro gaming mice being 80 and under. Doesn't make a difference in most use cases but I know the FPS crowd (generally) values light weight
