Is the zowie fk still considered one of the best mice to buy? I'm looking to buy a new mouse with high dpi and the only thing I have going is this old infographic from like 2010 or something.

Isn't the new madcat mouse gud?

It has the swappable sensor.

http://www.pcgamer.com/mad-catz-rat-pro-x-review/
>>
Currently have a CM Storm Spawn, great mouse but it's wearing out, and also I'd like a mouse with more DPI steps (I think 1800 on this mouse is too high, but 800 is too low and there's no inbetween).

I just bought a Mionix Castor, but the shape is surprisingly not as great as I was expecting (it's decent, but a bit long for my grip type).

Just ordered a Corsair M65 Pro, has the best sensor on the market (basically the same as the one in the Logitech mice everyone seem to shill these days), but hopefully a more comfortable shape for my grip type than the Castor.

Either way OP there's a best mouse for many different grip types, unless you're a fingertip user like me then you just have to make compromises. The Zowie FK is still a very good mouse if you like the non-ergonomic shape and have a claw grip.

Coming through with the not-as-good-but-still-great G400 successors.

Good for you if you don't like change, but it doesn't look like Logitech is going to bring them back, so if you don't take care of your precious MX518/G400/G400S and can't find a used one to replace it with, this is your next stop.

They're actually not bad at all. Button placement just takes some getting used to.

Every reviewer says it's the greatest wireless and ambidextrous mouse out there. It's $150 and I don't have a reason to get a new mouse so I can't say much about it myself, I doubt anyone here owns one either. You're really gonna have to go with your gut on this one.

It has the G502 sensor so you can get a general idea off that when it comes to performance.

well, I have bought one (thanks to Linus Tech Tips shill), but then again, i don't know a lot about mice.
I was just looking for a new mice (had MX518, but scroll wheel started being sticky) which had the option of being both wired and wireless (with built-in battery). then i saw that LTT vid, and i didn't even consider another mouse...

tl;dr: i think it's allright

looking for something as close to logitech g3 as possible.
- palm grip
- only ambidexterous, side buttons on both sides (i'm using it with left hand)
- not made with shitiest materials possible.

don't need fancy leds. sensor not being the best possible one isn't big issue (as long as it's not worse than g3).

is there anything worth checking out or should i just pray that my 8 years old g3 won't die?

"Best" is very subjective. These Zowie mouse have poor build quality and the buttons and mouse wheel are very wobbly and cheap. Whoever made OP's list was probably a Zowie shill, probably because the company is some crappy 3rd world startup that needed to steal money from kickstarter.

Sensor precision should only matter if you're playing competitive FPS like CS:GO but even then stuff like Freesync and G-Sync 1ms monitors with low input lag will be far more beneficial.

The best list in here is probably:

Decent laser mice can be bearable for casual play. Bad laser mice are borderline unusable by anyone used to a perfect sensor. It honestly makes a huge difference for any game that requires quick mouse movements though because you can actually build a proper muscle memory with a perfect sensor.

I use an Avior 8200 after coming from a Logitech G300. It's one of the few decent options for left-handed people if you want a mouse with lots of buttons. I used an MX518 before the G300, and in terms of performance, there's pretty much no difference (that I can notice) between the MX518 and Avior.
