For me the extra resistance the mass gave against acceleration made it really good for playing first-person shooters.
Some gaming mice these days come with small weights you can put in the bottom to adjust the heft
I have had a G5, G500 and G502 that used weights. That made them nicer. I think there's probably a bit of a difference between static weights tbat need to be accelerated and a rolling ball that has to start rolling, but I'm not sure. Maybe they are equivalent. I should find a ball mouse and try CS2 with it. 😅
