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.

For real. I've had Razer gaming mice. I've had Coursair gaming mice. I've had cheapo wireless Logitech office mice. Non-gamer Logitech are the best. The batteries never fucking die, the buttons never stop fucking working, and I don't need some dumbass software which requires an email account to change the goddamn colors. I had a Razer wireless mouse and the battery in that fucking thing lasted 8 hours. I'd dock it to charge the thing, but then I'd shut my computer off and the dock wouldn't have power. A friend and I also had wired Razer mice and the buttons broke within like two months. I have a Coursair gaming mouse. It works alright, but it's got the WoW button grid shit going on on the side and one of those buttons locks my computer. I can't rebind them without some nerd ass software which only runs on Windows (but this is still much better than the Razer software).
Your mouse is not the reason you're losing at FPS games. Lowering your mouse sensitivity will make a big difference, but the mouse itself is not the problem. Changing the surface underneath your mouse will make a much bigger difference than spending $100 on a mouse. Get a mousepad. Hell, tape some printer paper to your desk. Night and day improvement.
And the weird aversion to wireless mice is mostly superstition. RF signals travel FASTER than electrons do through copper (though the latency here doesn't fucking matter. You are not that good). The signal needs to be buffered in various microchips along the way regardless of whether it is RF or DC current, (though it doesn't matter, you are not that good). The only arguable complaint is RF interference, which I personally have never struggled with. You got a fancy mechanical keyboard with USB jacks in it right? Plug the reciever in there. It is literally 8 inches away from the mouse. My mouse cable getting snagged on shit has fucked me up far more than spooky RF shit ever has.
Long story short, buy an indestructible keyboard and a shit mouse you won't miss when you put it through the wall.
Sorry about the rant.
I thought the aversion to wireless mice was to constantly switching out slowly deteriorating batteries until you're doing it every 10 minutes. At least that's what happened with my rat9 after 5 years
:rat-salute-2: I only use the heaviest wireless logitech professional mouse I can find, every time I deviate from this formula it sucks so bad I come right back
rants are good. thank you for sharing. Not sure I believe you about the wireless thing, but that's ok, I'm a luddite at heart anyways.
