got a gaming mouse

ok if u want mice with low button latency, go for logitech. g303, g302 g502 all have mostly perfect sensor. g100s is a lot cheaper, has a sensor with less max speed (thin 1.7m/s) while the others go around 3m/s. since u dont need fast flicks anyway and hitting 1.7m/s isnt really happening unless u play with ultra low sensitivity like 1m for a 360 u wont hit that speed ever. i play quakelive turbo (cpma physics) with g100s and hit consitently 35-45% lightning gun and 45-65% rail. so even for a more flick heavy game the mouse will be sufficient.

the other mice that have proven to have a near perfect sensor are the zowie mice but as fire said, the click latency on those is up to 2ms or so? u can really notice it especially on snipers and other reaction based weapons. also they seem to have tracking problems on certain colored mousepads.
one other good mouse is said to be the razer abyssus. now the problem with the abyssus is that theres different versions with different sensors out there. the first edition released in 2011 or so had tracking problems and jitter, also some people say it was removeable through firmware update. the second edition is said to be perfect and theres a big discussion about the newest abyssus having a perfect sensor and also nice balanced clicks. some say razer products break pretty fast, i owned a abyssus, a deathadder and im stil using a blackwiddow keyboard which still works after 3 years of constant use.

tl:dr:
g100s cheap but reliable, nice clicks, solid sensor,small mouse
g302,g303 more investment, small yet sidebuttons, perfect sensor, good clicks
g502 basicly the g500s modernized, better sensor,big mouse
zowie (ec1,ec2,fk)good sensor, not so cheap, heavy clicks, tracking problems on some colors
razer lotto, cointoss, call it watevr, u may have luck u may get fuk

this is almost a+ advice. the new razer deathadders are usually ok, they have medium click latency. but like you said it's probably still a lotto buy at your own risk mine is just starting to die after 3 years or so.

also thus chart on click latency (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NI2yzh8gl...EH6cmA/s1600/dachroma_buttonlatency_chart.png) is adjusted around the g300.

these testings will give you more concrete numbers for what the click latency are.

ESR - Input lag tests QL/CSGO/Q3A - Hardware Forum

TLDR Average overall input lag from click to screen
Quake Live.
Mice:
Logitech G100s 14ms (9ms..16ms)
Zowie EC2 CL 28ms (24ms..32ms)

so we can see the zowie ec2 has an average click latency of 24ms in quake live. it doesn't say what it is in csgo, but you can assume its around 36ms because the g100s tested at 22ms avg.

now this is all ultra-level sperg mouse shit you really only have to worry about if you are playing ultra reflex shooters like cs:go. or maybe you don't have to worry about it because many top pros use high input click latency mice anyway and are godlike so maybe it just doesn't matter all that much.
 
nah dare u right, but information changes with every new mouse generation. they recently released a whole bunch of new tech and most reviews havent been updated yet.
generally youre right, the ime 3.0 and wmo are still used and praised by a lot of oldschool players (quakecon 2015 winner rapha plays with wmo) but it is not just because they are flawless (which they really arent) but they fit their style of playing. also untill recently most gaming mice suffered from fluctuating polling rates, bad sensors and bad firmware. so natually those mice that had less features and were more solid were the first choice for gamers.
since the release of the new avago sensors and the stuff logitech is using those issues became obsolete. tracking, smoothing, angle snapping etc which have been the biggest issue with old gaming mice have almost vanished at least in the case of the mice i listed.
you could say ime 3.0 and wmo are the most pure mice you can get, a lot of people describe it as not having a filtered feeling most new mice have which is said to be caused by drivers/firmware.that is also the reason why people often dont install drivers.
on the other hand a lot of pro players have changed to new mouse generations because most if not all issues with them have been fixed.
in the end,it is all just a matter of preference. some people like light clicks, some like hard clicks, some do like smooth feeling some like pure feeling. some need high malfunction speed some dont at all. as long as you get a SOLID mouse, which means no tracking malfunctions, average malfunction speed, solid sensor, long lasting clicks, you are set to unleash your tribal skill.
for me, the shape and the sensor are what counts the most.
 
mlt04 best sensor for accuracy imo but there are some other really good ones where the difference is so slight it just doesnt matter anymore and you may get higher quality mouse feel
