if it has to be pure wired under $200, I’d look at Vaxee XE / NP-01S or Zowie EC2-C / S2-C, all super solid for CS. Great tracking, consistent feel, no gimmicks. If you want something lighter/faster, Razer Viper 8K is still a great wired pick. Shape matters most imo.

Razer Viper 8Khz Ambidextrous. It's ok, had it a good number of years now

I used a Razer MMO mouse for about 15 years before it crapped out on me. About that time I stopped playing MMOs. Went with a Razer Viper 8k and I love it.

I kind of accidentally bought the Viper 8k and I love it.

In my case, I went from the g502 -> Hero -> Viper8k -> Deathadder V3pro -> Viper V2 pro -> G502 x LS -> Basilisk v3 Pro -> G502 LS. Yes I know some of these are dumb swaps and overall a waste of money. These are across the span of 5 ish years? I swapped g502 because the sensor felt off from what I was used to, turns out that I was tweaking my windows and with most tweaks that come in packs they put reg files that do a bunch to your system and you might not know what they do, they just 'reduce latency' Win32 priority separation is one of them and it turns out that some values affect your mouse movement quite a bit.

void clicks were quite common on my viper 8k, and i also hate razer synapse. are you dead set on the basilisk/g502 shape? or would something similar to the deathadder also be within reason?

I've looked for big mouse all over the internet, even a few millimeters bigger, reviews with device measuring, filtering shopping sites, articles, there's none. There's only this one that's in the top comment. It's quite frustrating to have a tiny mouse to use. I think the closest one can get is with the Logitech MX Master 3S. But it's heavy, so not recommended for gaming. I've thought about getting it in the future, it's a bit expensive and not light so didn't. I don't know if it'd be good at all, but it's technically the biggest of the mainstream mice out there. My hands are not as big as yours, a tad smaller. I have Razer Viper 8K, might be the same size as the death adder v3. It feels slightly small, but is comfortable for me. the last two fingers don't curl into the hand like yours do, am able to grip the side of the mouse body. I have a bluetooth mouse that fits exactly like yours does, with two fingers curled up, I don't like it. I use the bigger Razer mouse even if the scroll wheel doesn't work properly. Bigger mouse is just better. I think 3D printed ones might be best for you.

Please let me know if you find one. I've been looking for a wired mouse with a similar shape and size, but I encountered so many quality issues that I gave up. The Vaxee XE had an issue with the scroll wheel button, and the wired version is no longer in production. The Viper 8khz had an extremely wobbly left button, so I don't want to try any Razer products. The Cherry Xtrfy M50 had a wobbly scroll wheel. I plan to test the following in the near future: The Endgame Gear XM2 8khz, the XM1r (maybe the XM1r has better quality according to a few video I saw), and the Maya X (though I don't need the wireless function). Otherwise, I will order an old Logitech G Pro Wireless mouse. They are supposed to be extremely well-built, though the cable quality is not the best.
