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.

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?
