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

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.

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

6 months ago

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.

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

5 months ago

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

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

about 2 months ago

E1 is a small to medium size ergo the length is similar to the ec3 but it has a hump height of the ec2.

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 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.

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

Check out the steelseries prime / prime mini wired the mini is lighter tho Zowie c series mice - they're on 70+ weight but zowie discontinued it so chances are you're going to buy a second hand unit

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