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.

I grabbed a EC2-DW when they came out even though I had a EC2-CW. No, not worth getting any of the new mice. Yes, I still have both and yes, I do like Zowie products. I even use a G-SR III mousepad. But there are a lot of better options out there that are cheaper.

The RAWM ER21PRO is an exact clone of the EC2 that's only $75. I own one and I can definitely say the clicks are so much better on the RAWM than the Zowie mice.

I have the EC2-CW and EC2-DW and yes, the RAWM ER21PRO (that I also have) is an exact clone.

G502 X user here, and yeah, this is hell to find any mouse with these "pro" shapes (G PRO X, Viper V3, Deathadder, EC2-CW etc.) with just a simple fucking 3rd button on the side... Like, I can't even play most of games that I play now without the thumb button, normally I let the "interact" action of the game on that button and the gameplay feels 1000x better, then normally these two forward/backward buttons I use to Skill/Ultimate on RPG games or E/Q leaning on FPS games, I basically use the keyboard just for movement at this point.

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?

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?

Had the EC2cw. But felt quite heavy compared to the 70gr mice. 65-70gr i feel like its a sweet spot. In all honesty I feel like 60gr is quite light.
