GREAT FPS MOUSE (OVERWATCH)

I bought a Rival 600 a few days ago and have had it for a few days now and wow. I use this mouse to play Overwatch, CSGO and Battle Field One. In fact, my in-game accuracy has improved (from an average of 45% to 52%) - to say the least. Tracking is smooth and accurate, and the tear-off distance sensor works great for me as I don't have the desk space I need to play games, so I often have to lift my mouse to reposition it. I bought this mouse specifically because I have been using the Razer Naga for many years and it meets all my gaming needs. I've been into OW a lot lately and play Widow and McCree a lot - I've been good in most matches, but when I encountered other GOOD Widows I noticed that the d overtakes the shot in just milliseconds and my ping pretty much is low (30ms average) and I'm playing on a 144Hz monitor. I was starting to think my reflexes weren't good enough. Then a friend suggested me to buy a mouse for FPS games - (for example, the difference is what I thought) he teased me about using a MOBA mouse for FPS - in short, I decided I would would try. . I was looking at a lot of gaming mouse reviews and the Rival 600 caught my eye so I bought it. It's worth every penny - it just seems a lot more accurate. To be honest, if you have bad FPS it won't make you better with magic but it might help you improve a bit if you already know what you're doing, that's MY OPINION. The only problem I had with the mouse was that the height sensor is TOO sensitive. After calibrating the mouse to my pad, I simply adjusted the lift-off sensor to the lowest possible lift-off distance, and now there are dips and bumps on my side that I didn't even notice before. When the sensor encountered these dips and bumps, the mouse became unresponsive. At first I thought the mouse was defective and wanted to return it, but after reading some forum posts about this issue I just increased the travel distance a bit and the problem went away. ***EDIT*** This is a problem. The third product I buy from SteelSeries was a wired USB headset that sounded pretty decent, was cheap, and broke within a few weeks. I gave up and moved on. However, I recently found a review of their Artic PRO+ DAC headset - I was drawn to the aluminum design (as my previous headset was plastic and broke very easily). I'm also a bit audiophile which means I appreciate good audio hardware (I hate soundbars for example) and this headset is one of the first HIFI certified "gaming" headsets. So I bought it. and fell in love with it - it was a bit pricey but I'm enjoying it. And now the Rival 600 is my new favorite FPS mouse (I still like NAGA for FFXIV). SteelSeries is excited about their products when they create a competitor for the Razer Tartarus. I would very much like to buy this - I recently bought a Razer Tartarus v2 (I have two others) and they are so buggy and their software sucks - the problem is very few companies make these keyboards and most of them do are terrible. So SteelSeries is making one. Please :P So I bought it. and fell in love with it - it was a bit pricey but I'm enjoying it.
