What Matters
DPI is mostly marketing. Anything above 800 DPI is plenty for gaming — what matters is sensor accuracy and consistent tracking.
Weight under 70g is noticeable. Most pros use lightweight mice for less fatigue.
Polling rate of 1000Hz is the standard. 8000Hz options exist but offer diminishing returns.
Bottom Line
Buy the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 if budget isn't a concern. The Razer DeathAdder V3 is the best value pick.
