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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great replacement for the Razer Deathadder

A few days ago the scroll wheel on my Razer Deathadder died. I've had the mouse for eight years now, so I have nothing against Razer. However, I'm also fed up with horrible Razer drivers - they consume resources, require login, take longer to launch, and sometimes just crash. For this reason I have decided not to buy another Deathadder. I've looked at the mice for hours and the vast majority of them look like children's sneakers turned into a mouse; all sorts of unnecessary holes, lights, etc. The EC1 is an amazing, serious quality mouse. Compared to my Deathadder, the tracking feels smoother, the click action is more satisfying, and the scroll wheel is more precise. Skating feels better too. The ergonomics are relatively similar, no special adjustments are required. I only have two small gripes: First, I would like the Zowie logo to be white (no big deal, but I don't have red in my gear anymore). Second, I used Deathadder at 700 dpi. 800 is close enough, but it would be nice to have a finer DPI setting (I'd prefer 600 over 800). All in all, highly recommended and I would buy again.

Pros
  • Crossing my fingers
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
