FYSA, Zowie used to send a mouse sampler to your house then keep and pay for the one you like. That’s how I got my EC2-A. I will always go with them for their customer service and great quality. They made me a loyal customer and I like more simple mouses or mice rather than 27 buttons on the side so they work for me. Probably upgrading to their wireless soon. I know the super light G or whatever from Logitech gets a ton of love too and only has “5” buttons, but I like Zowie.

Meanwhile, my Zowie is the only mouse I ever had that started doubleclicking. Also the notorious Zowie scroll wheel. (false activations after 6 months almost guaranteed)

Nice review, many thanks! 👍 Since you have big experience with mentioned mice, maybe you can give an advice. Prehistory: I've been using EC2-A long time ago, comfy, quality, ok - ideal mouse at that time for me.When it started to double click i decided to switch to something else and bought G703. It appears to have too big back hump (I was even thinking to sand paper a bit). After several other changes like g pro x potato stone, xlite v2 mini, now I'm at Xlite v3 eS (pretty decent shape, no surprise, it is almost ec2). I wanna changes again and to top up collection, presently I'm on the crossroad with one highway (EC2-DW) and slight alteration (Pulsar Zywoo). How do you think if increased back hump of zywoo will be a problem? Or it is less hump than g703? Again thanks for review and hope for advice.

I know right? I thought zowie will surely be mentioned in FPS. Mine is EC2-A and been with me for such a long time.

I fell in love with EC2-A when I was at my friend's place back in 2018 and bought it later that year. It's been 7 years and this mouse is still with me, not a single issue

I had my zowie ec2-a for around 14 years give or take a few years, 10 atleast, and I only got a new mouse about a month ago. Now after that long time the mouse still looks good, no scratches just a shiny surface due to sweat oher the years etc. It does double click sometimes now, especially the side buttons. But 14 years is a long time and a good investment.

Surprisingly enough ive never taken any special vare of it, just cleaned it once every 6 months or so and packed it somewhat safely when traveling with it

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

Strongly recommend benq zowie ec3 or ec2 (3 being large size and 2 being medium). Its hard to figure out which models are discontinued now but I’ve been using ec2-a since my mad catz rat mouse’s wire broke (so like 2017 I think) and it’s still working with no problems, I have some big palms for a girl and this is basically the best mouse I’ve had
