The verdict
Razer Cobra appears in 4 AI-ranked categories — best position #2 for gaming mouse under $40 for fps games?.

Claude 58g wired, Focus Pro-derived accuracy, excellent optical switches with no double-click risk, clean shape for claw/fingertip at ~$35
Where Razer Cobra falls short, per the models
