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.

      NO

      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.
