I have tried. A lot. I can play good and all but never as good and as confident as with large ergo mice. Like the deathadder, logitech 703, ec1a. I just feel I don't have as effective of a range of motion with symmetrical.

Up until last week I would have said Zowie EC1, but I just got a Pulsar ZywOo and it took the comfort throne for me.

I just bought pulsar xlite v4 my first wireless mouse. Im so impressed and its so easy to use, easy to slide, gaming performance increased. I had zowie ec1. I play only dota 2.

I'd honestly try the EC1, although not much bigger it feels a world apart from a size 2 Pulsar, I'm a big dude and my hands are exactly the same size. I've tried a number of mice and I find myself going back to my EC1. Now the problem is it's still not big enough to fully fill my palm, they just don't make them for us, they make them for the average hand and we're way out of that bracket, the mouse is substantial enough though in hand that it feels really comfortable, I also just love Zowie build quality, they make the best feeling nice to me by a long shot.

Yeah I really don't think you'll be disappointed with it, plus they're great mice overall so it's always easy to recommend them

>according to eloshapes the size of the DA v3/v4 pro is really similar to the ec1 but slightly higher, which i think i like. It may suit you for that reason, I have gigantic hands so the EC1 is just better for me but the Dav 3/4 might feel a little better and compact for you while still being roughly the size and shape that you like. They're also much lighter which is nice. There's also the EC1 DW which is a newer, lighter wireless version of the EC1, they're great nice and if you like Zowie then I see no reason to switch it up personally, I still use the EC1-CW which is the older wireless version and I love it.

That's completely understandable, I personally like the feel of the Zowie switches but it's personal preference. I've tried the Dav 3 and I enjoyed it a lot it's a fairly big mouse while also feeling light and tactile so I'd recommend it to anyone, there is a problem with the scroll wheel but in the Dav 4 this is supposedly fixed. Although I never had any issues with it in the slightest when I used it and I mained it for about 6 months before giving it to my brother.
