The only mouse that can match the intellimouse pro is the ec1-c but zowie discontinued it maybe you can still find a brand new or second hand unit on r/mousemarket. Dav3 wired is good but smaller the only thing bigger in the dav3 is the hump height.

Yes if you want to try the shape wired is the way to go

Ec1 is longer, wider, and has lower hump, not sure on the curves but ec is a curvy ergo

Check out mice with optical scroll wheel encoders it's usually has better longevity than mechanical encoders. Mice with optical scroll wheel - zowie c series, g502x/basilisk v3, leviathan v4, keychron m6.

I can list good wired mice - op18k v2/XM2 8k v2, dav3 wired, pulsefire haste 2 wired, pulsefire saga wired, redragon m996 wired, zowie c series.

Check out the steelseries prime / prime mini wired the mini is lighter tho Zowie c series mice - they're on 70+ weight but zowie discontinued it so chances are you're going to buy a second hand unit

I tried the EC1 and after a bit of getting used to the shape starting to grow on me. But now im in a conflict on rather to keep it or return it and buy the DW. In terms of price it will cost me just below 100$ more than the -C version and im not sure if it’s worth it. What do you think?

The only thing that a bit annoying to me is the pre/post travel of the m1/m2 and also the noise and feel when scrolling the mouse wheel. Is it the same on the DW?

I tried the EC1 but i dont think that ergonomic mouse is for me.

i have similar size just less wider (9cm). i recommend getting an ergo shape like DA or EC. it will fit both palm and relax claw better.

EC is made for that grip.

The G Pro shape isnt the worst in this regard but taller and rounder itself isnt the play as steeper/more aggressive angles in the palm area obv. tend to increase the angle of the wrist, i would rather recommend something ergo(when thumb pain is involved) with a palm curvature like the Zowie EC Series, with the size depending on your partners hands, heres also the eloshapes link to illustrate it: [https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/compare?p=logitech-g-pro-x2-superstrike-vs.-zowie-ec1-c-vs.-zowie-ec2-c](https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/compare?p=logitech-g-pro-x2-superstrike-vs.-zowie-ec1-c-vs.-zowie-ec2-c)

I used Zowie S2, Zowie EC-1 C and I still use it. The dimensions are a little different, but it would be better to use whichever mouse is the most suitable for your hand. Really high quality mice, most esports players also use them. You can research these models.
