Review on πŸ–±οΈ BenQ Zowie EC1 Ergonomic Gaming Mouse: White Edition for Esports, Pro Grade Performance, Driverless, Glossy Coating, Large Size by Michael Thaxton

Good mouse, imperfect ergonomics

I'm learning to play FPS games as part of a quarantine project, so I bought this mouse after searching RocketJumpNinja for recommendations for my hand size. All in all, this is a pretty decent mouse. It doesn't try to be flashy or "playable", but it's just well made and does what you want it to. I definitely recommend it. However, I have two small issues with it, which may be related to my hand or grip: 1. The right mouse button seems to work a bit. I accidentally right click when making large movements and then lower the mouse after raising it to reset my hand position. This is especially noticeable as the scroll wheel and thumb buttons require little force to press.2. Ergonomic asymmetry means my ring finger and pinky are either pressed against each other or my pinky is reaching for the mouse pad. This can get awkward after a while, especially as I hold down the front thumb button to aim and therefore often aim/move the mouse while holding the thumb button down. I also wish there was a "DPI clutch" to toggle between low and high sensitivity on the fly, but that's not really a criticism of the product. As advertised, this is not one of the mice with this feature.

Pros
  • So far so good
Cons
  • Not as thick as others
