Thank you, i still stand by my point on this matter, its not even my "opinion" its mere statistics of my purchases and quality/RMAs in last 10 years. needless to say, since i made this post i am now using newest zowie benq wireless mouse and its been working fine, lets see how long it lasts
r/MouseReview • I dont mind the price, but why is no mice durable and reliable? ->I did purchase and EC2-CW but it was a bit heavy for my liking so I sold it for the same price I purchased it for £60. I would like to try a Vaxee mouse myself but they're kind of expensive here in the UK and I rather wait for them to start releasing mice around the 50g range at least.

Honestly I would love the deathadder v4 pro but the v3 is basically the same and after trying the zowie ec2 cw I think I'm sticking with zowie for now . Hopefully razer cones out with something more enticing.
r/MouseReview • DeathAdder V4 Pro Review after 15 gaming hours. Compared to Viper V3 pro ->the makeshift ring support on the EC2 is amazing haha (miss the divina line sm)
r/MouseReview • 2011 Mouse with the best ergonomics ever, Ring + Pinky Finger support and the right click being longer than the left click should be standar ->I have a very similar hand size to yours, and I have tried many mice in the past few weeks. I usually play with a relaxed claw grip. If any shop where you live offers a return policy or allows you to try mice in their shop, I would suggest that. Your palm should have decent support, and all of your fingers should be able to rest naturally. I didn't like the Viper V3 Pro because it was too narrow in the middle, and the clicks caused my fingers to go into a V shape. My pinky had no place to rest. The Maya X and Superlight 2 are much more comfortable and universal for symmetrical mice. For ergos, I might recommend the EC2 or Xlite V4 medium, which are very popular shapes. I believe that mice under 122x62x40 will feel weird if you sometimes palm your mice and are used to good palm support. Smaller mice would work, but you need a different grip style with your hand size.
r/MouseReview • Help finding a mouse ->I've used a Zowie EC2 for almost 6 years now and can highly recommend it
r/QuakeChampions • Gaming Mouse ->I dont have particularly big hands, but for some reason ive prefered larger mouses, and have been having a great time with my Zowie ec2: [https://zowie.benq.com/en-us/mouse/ec2.html](https://zowie.benq.com/en-us/mouse/ec2.html)
r/pcmasterrace • Help for a mouse that fits my hand ->The sound of Zowie EC's scroll wheel can drive you crazy, though. It's too loud, too squeaky. Probably one of the worst-sounding scroll wheels I've ever come across.
r/MouseReview • Mouse between Logitech Dex and DAv3HS ->I loved mine, even customized it perfectly with lizard skin. Sadly I lost it. However I now have a zowie ec2-cw, thing is great. Battery lasts forever
r/pcmasterrace • The 25 most recommended gaming mouse according to Reddit (in the past year as of Jun 2025) ->Those who know of it know that it fits the hand so perfectly.
r/pcmasterrace • The 25 most recommended gaming mouse according to Reddit (in the past year as of Jun 2025) ->Loving my zowie ec2-cw. Classic ergonomic shape fits the hand so well, makes it great for fps.
r/pcmasterrace • The 25 most recommended gaming mouse according to Reddit (in the past year as of Jun 2025) ->I've had a zowie ec c series mouse now for years and it hasn't had any issues
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Honestly, not everyone playing at an above average tier or even pro level will have benefits from low weight. Its really a matter of aim styles, grips, body and arm position, etc. I can only find my ideal sens for both flicks and tracking with a bit more weight, without it, one is always a bit off. You just gotta look around, many pros in many games still use mice like the ec2 or even the deathadder. Low weight is not better, its just more suited to the majority (i agree with that). And Im all about diminishing returns , its super fun to maximize potential! But in my case and many others in my gaming circles a bit of weight can give better results no matter if you play slow, super fast, etc. It's really personal "preference". I wish these things were predictable, my wallet would be happier !
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →I would like to say that ive had my zowie ec2 for ~10 years and am only now thinking of an upgrade. Mice can last a very long time, I wouldnt even change mice but mine double clicks on left mouse and one of the side buttons, and the scroll wheel doesnt work that well anymore
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →FWIW I see the 502 suggested for people with big hands but I find the actual width of the part of the mouse you grip is not very large. Lots of things to consider, but I've got 20 cm x 11 cm hands and have settled on the DAV3 wired version. I've found the mouse width and desired shape (symmetrical vs ergo) to be the most important factors when looking for a mouse. Other mice I've tried and liked include the ZOWIE EC2 (look into EC1), Razer DAV2 Pro, and Logitech g403/703. Good luck!
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →No Zowie on the FPS list is kinda crazy to me. Zowie is BenQs mouse brand, it's a no frills very high quality mouse. No software no firmware updates, 4 DPI presets. They are consistently the best FPS mice I've owned. On the flip side, Logi G600 is hands down the best MMO mouse, it actually promotes me to be so lazy with keybinds I find myself using it in games other than MMOs. Protip: the older Logi Gaming Software works way better than the newer LGS for the G600.
r/pcmasterrace • View on Reddit →I don't think the ec1 is good for your hand side and grip. I'm the same size and like the ec2 better with a claw grip. Ec1 is comfy for full palm but always found it terrible for micro adjustments
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →I wonder why Zowie switched to unbraided rubber cables with the -DW series mice. The -CW mice actually did have a paracord type cable that was excellent.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →For ergo razer deathadder v3 hyperspeed/Pulsar Xlite v4 medium/Pulsar Zywoo medium size/Zowie ec2 or anything around the same size would be great for your hand size and grip style. But if you want an ambidextrous mouse, you cannot go wrong with Logitech G Pro X Superlight 1 or 2 for starters.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Used Zowie EC2 iirc, great mouse very durable. Used Steelseries something, it sucked in terms of durability and quality, wheel became loose rather quickly. Used Logitech G300 or whatever that wireless basic model is, decent mouse. Using G502 wireless now, good mouse. To be honest mouse is not very much important so long as it works decent enough. Not a big fan of many buttons or lighting or macros etc, 2 extra side buttons is enough and a life changer for casual internet browsing imo. I prefer my mouse a bit on the bigger side and don't like superlight mice so G502 is good on that regard.
r/DotA2 • View on Reddit →I wouldnt say that, its just made for palm grip for medium-small hands. I have medium hands, my friend has small, I use this and he uses the ec2-cw, completely fine
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Look into the Zowie ec2, classic proven cs mouse
r/counterstrike2 • View on Reddit →Same hand size and but with relaxed claw grip. Really like the EC2. Ec1 forces me in to a full palm so get that if you want palm
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →not op but been using ec2 for cs2 and its god tier if you have a claw grip. ive had the mouse for 9 years without fail
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Most comfortable? Probably an ergo like an Ec2. But I aim the best with op1 8k
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Overpriced and breaks easily in my experience. Also the sensor was very weird depending on which mousepad I was using. Worked alright on my artisan but my xtrfy mousepad would cause it to skip frequently unless I physically pushed the mouse into the pad. I switched to a zowie wireless and prefer it 10x over
r/cs2 • View on Reddit →Ec1 is larger and forces a palm grip even with pretty large hands. Most people will be much better off with the ec2 and if you use relaxed claw it's much better for micro adjustments while still offering a tonne of stability. I use an ec2 with 20x11cm hands and a relaxed claw
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →FK2 is super low, I wouldn't recommend it for claw. S2 or U2 would give much more lower / middle palm support. I wasn't convinced by U2 as it locks you in a specific grip and it will be a hit or miss. EC2 would be perfect for palm grip and ok for relaxed claw, but something like a DAV3HS works much better for claw grip, which is because the clicks are lower and the hump is more in the middle of its length.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →>In my opinion most ergos feel more or less the same with minor differencies I couldn't disagree more. For example, I can't stand the Dav3 shape, it's super unconfortable, too long, the front flair hits my finger... The classic EC2 shape feels much better, and recently got the x3 which is close to my favorite shape (G403/G703) which feels so much more natural to use than anything else. This is all just for me as this is VERY subjective. As for the Dex I haven't tried it, but except the shape, what is different from the superlight 2? I feel specs wise logitech fell far behind everyone else.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →i feel like nobody uses large mice anymore, but rather they just palm smaller mice like gpx and ec2, razer vv3 razer Dav3hyperspeed. Niko the only one using dav3, even spinx switched to zowie ec2 now
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →I have several different mice now: atk x1 pro: feels for me like only for finger grip and it's not comfortable, because back of mouse doesn't fit my palm zowie ec2-cw: my hand getting a lot of pain and I don't feel comfortable to play with all my palm on mouse (I want something like claw) sensei raw: just old mouse, tested a bit it yesterday, feels like not high yet for me. logitech g pro x superlight (broken): best overall of above, but it feels like buttons are maybe too high, could be better if they were lower. [https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/157sw3m/what\_mouse\_should\_i\_get\_for\_this\_type\_of\_claw\_grip/](https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/157sw3m/what_mouse_should_i_get_for_this_type_of_claw_grip/) Post above looks same for my hand. Can anybody advise me a mouse for my hand?
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Absolutely! Ec1 is only good for Palm gripping with 20Cm+ hands. Ec2 with any type of relaxed claw is a much better pick.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →I have 22 cm and vxe R1 is really small in my hands, i suggest you the Zowie EC2
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →I have a ec2-cw, i demoted it for use with my work laptop because of how floaty it is. I could see if you only use wireless you would eventually get used to it.. As I also said they are better than they used to be. However if you go from a wired to wireless there is a clear difference and it is clearly worse. Even if it were just as god as wired mouse in terms of performance, it doesn't make sense to spend twice as much for a product that is at best equivalent in performance. Why pay double for essentially the same thing?
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →I did purchase and EC2-CW but it was a bit heavy for my liking so I sold it for the same price I purchased it for £60. I would like to try a Vaxee mouse myself but they're kind of expensive here in the UK and I rather wait for them to start releasing mice around the 50g range at least.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →looks like pincer claw try zowie ec mice
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Viper v3 pro is my current favorite symmetrical shape, but if you were interested in trying ergos I've been using a pulsar xlite for a while now and it just melts perfectly into my hand. My current favorite ec2 clone
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →I got my first Deathadder in 2009. I had two of the original model, one 3.5 and one 4G. In 2015, I bought a Zowie EC that I've been using near daily for the past decade.
r/pcmasterrace • View on Reddit →I've only used the cw but discounting the weight I prefer the shape of the ec2. Its a little less hand filling and I feel my aim is better but there's nothing in my performance with it. If you can get a cheap xlite though I'd take that. The difference in price just isn't worth it imo.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Ergo: Zowie EC2: my preference is palm and it fits my hand very well for that. I have gained a lot of stability with this mouse (most noticeably in cs) being able to just simply get my crosshair on the target in a more controlled and consistent manner. Symmetrical: GPX/GPX 2: Part of it being it's the first shape I ever used with the old G pro wireless. But it's also, for me, the shape/size that offers the most utility. I can palm or claw if I want to, have always had great target tracking on it, ability to hit nasty flicks, while also feeling stable in slower fps games.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →The EC2 is medium-large mouse, roughly the same size as the Superlight. EC3 is a better option if the Superlight is too large.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →ERGO: Zowie EC2 is the gold standard for ergo shapes. Almost every popular ergo mouse has cloned this one, check it out if you haven't. AMBI: Zowie FK1/2 and Logitech GPX. Razer cloned the FK1 shape for the older Viper models and the V3 is a GPX inspired shape.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →It's not that weird. That's a pincer claw grip with a strange thumb position. I do the same, but with the thumb below the buttons. Zowie EC2, Lamzu thorn, G Pro superlight, Asus Harpe Ace work for me. Might work for you too. Zowie ZA-13, Vaxee Outset AX or NP01-S get recommended for this kind of grip a lot, though I haven't tried them.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Awesome I am also additcted to collect +30. Still doing But I want to stop it. Still comes out new models. :( Recently, epomKer carbon x is satisfying to me. I try to keep using it as a main. Now, Gwolves is going to drop it in Nov, via pre order. BTW, recently, i bought Zowie EC2 CW which is old version to check grip. But i am fully satisfied it. So i really considering to buy EC2 DW (latest version) As u may know, DW is heavy and No S/W , comparing to current others. Anyhow, You are the best ever :)
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Similar hand size and I use relaxed claw. While I vaguely tried to follow the small mice rule, none of those were great for comfort. Talking about the VXE R1/Mad R size. Those were giving me pain around the little finger. The comfortable ones were mid to large sized. EC2, S1, Haste, DAV3 were infinitely better. Currently using ATK Z1 (EC2 clone) and it has been great. My conclusions were - length of more than 120mm and grip width of 62mm or more.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →As someone who has had the DAV3 Pro and DEX, tried the NP-01s, Xlite and the EC2... For shape, it's the DEX hands down. Build could be a little better for the price but shape is king/queen. Note: hands are 20.5 x 11cm and I use relaxed claw. I've also heard good things about the E1 but I can't find a 3D scan of it anywhere.

r/IndianGaming • View on Reddit →I've used a Zowie EC2 for almost 6 years now and can highly recommend it
r/QuakeChampions • View on Reddit →I like zowies mice. They recently released wireless ones and I've enjoyed my ec2-cw
r/buildapc • View on Reddit →Gpx if you're not price sensitive and wanting a safe option that'll let you experiment with different grip styles. Viper v3 is a solid pick too with a better sensor, coating (get white), and weight but has a slightly more restrictive shape and could be on the larger size for your hands. Tons of ergonomic options too if you prefer that - I've tried the ec2 and thought it was super comfy. Though after buying like 9 more mice I still perform the best with the gpx lol. Everything is pretty good nowadays and battery life is great. I recommend playing on 2k polling for the best blend of performance and battery life.
