professional cs works on a system called VRS - the valve ranking system - which, oversimplified, works on the principle that for every match big enough to be tracked by HLTV (the biggest cs news site), the winner gains VRS points and the loser loses VRS point, with upsets increasing the point amount

correction - VRS stands for valve regional standings

these points are then used to rank every team on a global ranking as well as broken down into region (europe, americas, asia) and subregion (north america, south america, oceania, etc), and most high tier tournaments primarily invite based on these rankings

I'll call it cheap standard - no double click, if wireless won't eat battery like snack, stuff like that. Actually cheaper will more likely has those issues

in the context of professional gaming, yeah

$12 is a nice office mouse, but the sensor will not be good enough for CS

for a pro player, the average is $100.

(although saying that, the $30-40 range has some solid choices from Chinese manufacturers)
