Zowie (BenQ) - EC3-C

Zowie EC3-C feels good for me. Want to try deathadder, xlite CL, and E1 soon though.

I like wired ergo mouse and have small hands. Curious what would you recommend. Currently I own a DAV3 (wired, bit too big for my hand) and my main that I really like is the zowie ec3-c. Is there anything "better" for me out there?

Endgame Gear OP18K mby idk about double click feature though you can change a lot in Software Zowie EC3-C 0 Software you do all settings on the mouse itself so no double click feature https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/compare?p=zowie-ec3-c-vs.-endgame-gear-op1-8k

Zowie c series or endgame gear for a quality and durable mouse

I have the ec3-dw and my scroll wheel is perfect no issues but I agree on your about the sensor when I compare my ec3-c and ec3-dw both at 400 dpi the ec3-dw is faster and I know it's common to all mice.

Ec3-c and type 99

Mouse - ec3-c Mousepad - htr and type 99 Keyboard - maxfit61 Games - cs2, lol

Xm2 8k, dav3 wired, zowie c series

XM2 8k Zowie c series (EC, s, fk, za)

I like both tbh I main the ec3-dw but I still go back to my ec3-c if my ec3-dw is charging.

Yeah I want them to copy the design of zowie EC when I hold my ec3-c it's a comfortable and smooth design while the dav3 has this jagged edges.

Depends EC for ergonomic, fk for claw/fingertip, s/za/u for claw grip

Op18k for relaxed claw but for palm I usually recommend an ergonomic mouse like the ec3-c, delux m900 mini, zaopin Z2 mini, xlite v3/v4 mini.

Literally my first gaming mouse is the g102 prodigy and went with the ec3-c I have no issues lifting the mouse because of a different curvature and shape

17x10 Main mouse is the ec3-dw and ec3-c when my ec3-dw is charging, I noticed when I grip an ambidextrous mouse I tend to slightly tilt my hand so I opt for an ergonomic mouse and it's way better to hold it accommodate my grip style and super comfy too.

Well imo it takes time to get used to the shape at the end of the day you either get used to it or not. It felt uncomfortable when I first bought the ec3-c It definitely feels big compared to my small mice collection but after using it for a month it became my main mouse.

Sometimes I also main the ec3-c over the ec3-dw because of the added weight

I had this mouse and had 7 copies my only issue with the og rvm is the scroll wheel it's shit breaks easily and the high lod now the razer cobra fixed this issue I had on the rvm it's still using the same Old encoder of the rvm but I sold my cobra wired because I prefer my ec3-c.

Im starting to think you should get a zowie ec3-c if you want to have sturdy scroll wheel and build quality

I'm using the ec3-dw and ec3-c best mouse that I ever use

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 forgot that there are some small mice that don't work for me for example the zowie S2-DW whenever I put my hand on the S2-DW ring is extended while pinky finger at the back flare of the mouse causing awkward grip I don't like that I prefer my ring and pinky close to each other.

Easily one of my top 5 mice for sure, the shape just clicks for me out of the box as soon as I put my hands I was like yup this is it.

Forgot to add the scroll wheel is tight when scrolling up and down, shape fits my handsize and grip style it's like using my ec3-c as soon as I put my hand on it I don't need to adjust my grip style.

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.

Endgame gear op1 8k v2/XM2 8k v2 Zowie c series have 4 different shapes and multiple sizes I've been using the ec3-c since 2022 and still strong till this day

It's different from each person I had hand discomfort when using the ec3-c but I realize I just didn't have enough time to adapt to the shape after using it for a month I understand how the shape and grip style works on that mouse so now it's my main mouse

G502x, basilisk v3, zowie c series (EC, s, fk, za)

Razer cobra wired Zowie c series (ec3-c, za13-c, s2-c, fk2-c) these are all small mice of zowie and they're all high quality plus it uses an optical scroll wheel like the g502 hero

You are better off with ec3, xlite crazylight

The EC2 is medium-large mouse, roughly the same size as the Superlight. EC3 is a better option if the Superlight is too large.

I have 19 x 10cm hands and went from a G502 to an EC2a in 2016 and after a week of constant use found it to be a huge improvement. Zowie might be behind in terms of tech and features but they are still the goats of shape. Plenty of other brands do that ergo shape, but none come close to the feel of the EC. While I don't daily drive that EC2a anymore, I always have my EC3 and camade bungee connected for use when other mice need charging or just for nostalgic comfort. The only thing that is a bummer are Zowie's scroll wheels. They feel pretty cheap and nasty compared to every other manufacturer.

Same grip and \~same hand size, started gaming long time ago with the first G502.. then when Logitech made G PRO (G305) shape.. I got the Prodigy one, G203 and used that for a long time. Looking for a lighter replacement I tried: \- XM1 (good shape, great coating, but slightly large, back hump too big, definitely worth trying) \- OP1 (way to narrow, not for me) \- All the Zowies, ended up using for a short time EC-3 (issue: no micro adjustments), ZA-13 (back hump too high) \- GPX 2.. not bad but for some reason can't find a good grip... also, slippery, sold. I'll try the smaller 2 C \- G303 SE, great if it wasn't so big (still use it regularly at work) but G305 has better shape. \- MZ1 awesome.. just unreliable and a liiiiitle bit too small. \- Viper Mini = No! \- G403 that hump's huge. Now trying Mchose L7 Ultra and G3 Ultra... You (me also) want a mouse small enough that let you do micro adjustments with your fingers, it also must have some support where that small palm part touch it. G305 is great at this because you can freely move the mouse, that slightly tilted sides let fingers grab it easily, and when you press it against your palm you have enough support. If I have to pick a mouse right now for the next years, shapewise G305.. Can't understand why Logitech have not yet released a superlight version and is milking with no end the GPX shape.. Think about not buying a mouse because a pro use it but buy it if it suits you, that's what counts.

there's alot of variety in mice these days so theres no objective best mouse anymore for claw/fingertip i'd recommend the Endgame Gear OP1w or OP18k (depends on if you mind having a wire or not) for palm i'd recommend the Deathadder V3 Hyperspeed or Zowie EC3

Zowie EC2, __EC3__, or DeathAdder V3 Hyperspeed might be your cup of tea. __If__ your hand size is somewhere around 17cm (carpal to middle fingertip), I would guess smaller ergos are more suited. There are many on the market.

EC3 is the smallest, but still not the lightest overall. If you like a fingertip grip, this might be the most likely fit but no guarantee. There are different versions, though I don't know the differences. Check out Eloshapes, a great website to compare shapes, sizes, and weights. The best option is to test the mice yourself, but that's not always possible. :/
