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?

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.

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 :)

Then maybe I am just unlucky or what? Had a ec2-c with horrible frame skipping, one ec2-cw that started to have disconnection issues just after a week warranty ended, sitting as a e-waste now. idk what's with 1-year support only when razer and logitech provides give 2 years and replace the product no questions asked. Have 2 gsr-se and 1 gsr2 that refuses to stay flat till date. I have used a lot of zowie stuff and still main them. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows like you describe. the clicks get mushy, the coating gets shined and slippery, but that's acceptable.
