Zowie (BenQ) - EC3-CW

I have 18cm x 9cm and tried a lot of mice Attack shark R6 fantastic shape for me. Their cable is really bad and causes stutters. OP18K shape is also good, cable isn’t much of an issue. ULX small good shape but too small for me ULX medium great shape very versatile GPX too big DAV3 too big NP-01S good shape but too heavy NP-01 a bit large but safe for palm.. but too heavy EC-3CW or whatever it’s called very good size, good fit but I hate ergo so…. I think you will like the ULX small the most… try the Attack Shark R6 too it’s relatively cheap and return on Amazon is easy

Ec3-cw - small ergonomic, weighs at 75g, no software, high quality Op1w 4k - add $20, fastest wireless mouse, hotswap feature

Those have programmable buttons excluding the zowie EC as it doesn't have software

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

Either the dav3 hyperspeed, E1, ec2-cw or you can wait for the dw version good for relaxed claw based on your hand size the ec3-cw since it's shorter you will have to aggressive claw it, specs doesn't matter on these mice because you won't notice a difference other than the shape/size and weight

It looks like your grip is a relaxed fingertip if you're into an ergonomic mouse you need a small size like the ec3-cw or xlite v4 mini.

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.

Just FYI the EC3 is very slightly shorter but actually wider than EC2.

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

EC3 and Vaxee E1. 

I always love the EC3 shape, but mine is dead and I am now using ROG Keris 2 ace. The performance is top notch, but I still prefer the more controllable EC3 shape. My hand size is 18 cm, 10 cm. I would like to try the Feinmann which is only a hair higher hump than EC3, but I think I will wait for the 1.5 Size with no holes. Thanks for your meticulous review brother.

I wonder why Zowie switched to unbraided rubber cables with the -DW series mice. The -CW mice actually did have a paracord type cable that was excellent.

I’ve had a zowie ec c series mouse now for years and it hasn’t had any issues

Thank you, i still stand by my point on this matter, its not even my "opinion" its mere statistics of my purchases and quality/RMAs in last 10 years. needless to say, since i made this post i am now using newest zowie benq wireless mouse and its been working fine, lets see how long it lasts

I wouldnt say that, its just made for palm grip for medium-small hands. I have medium hands, my friend has small, I use this and he uses the ec2-cw, completely fine

looks like pincer claw try zowie ec mice

I got my first Deathadder in 2009. I had two of the original model, one 3.5 and one 4G. In 2015, I bought a Zowie EC that I've been using near daily for the past decade.

Something ergo from zowie/ deathadder V3 pro / deathadder V3 hyperspeed / Vaxee

Basically any ergo mouse, ie. Deathadder v3 or v4. ZOWIE EC. There’s hundreds of good ergo mice out there.

not sure what you mean by 3 mode. but ergo mice like the EC series by zowie, death adder series, FK2-DW(ambi), Maya X(ambi), GPX Dex, but it entirely depends on your hand size and preferences

Zowie wireless ones go for triple the price of these . I used to have a zowie ec mouse back in 2014 to 2020 the right doesn't work anymore otherwise a brilliant mouse

No Zowie on the FPS list is kinda crazy to me. Zowie is BenQs mouse brand, it’s a no frills very high quality mouse. No software no firmware updates, 4 DPI presets. They are consistently the best FPS mice I’ve owned. On the flip side, Logi G600 is hands down the best MMO mouse, it actually promotes me to be so lazy with keybinds I find myself using it in games other than MMOs. Protip: the older Logi Gaming Software works way better than the newer LGS for the G600.

More like user issue to me. Some people out there are just bad and doesn’t take care of things. If you take care of something, It’ll take care of you. Stay away from Logitech and Steelseries. My glorious O is 5 years old now. I had my Benq Zowie for more than a decade and I still use it. Still have my Deathadder, Mamba, Spectre and Naga throughout the years. Zowie is always been my mouse and I bought one from 2022. I use my 10+ year old on my laptop.

BenQ Zowie has been great for me.
