Based on 1 year's data from Feb 15, 2026 How it works
I went through different mice last year - DAV3, Pulsar Zywoo, NG-01 Ergo, Viper, OP1 4k v2, and then S2-D2 and EC3-DW. I will never leave the EC shape ever now
i tried a bunch of mice in the last year and my favs have been vaxee np-01s ergo, pulsar jv-x and zowie ec3-dw and s2-dw. I didnt like the viper v3 pro or the da v3 pro. honestly its all about shape, you should get something like the zowie shape kit to figure out what works for you
Yes. I tried EC-3 DW, a little too short for me. DAV3 hyperspeed works fine by me but also a little small.
Is that the ec2? If so there is the ec3-c or -dw or e1 if you want a similar and smaller shape. Lamzu thorn maybe could work as well.
Top 3 for me me , GPX 2C , EC3-DW and OP1-8K all others are collecting dust at the moment .
Heck my GPX 2C and EC3-DW arrived the same day . Glad my wife didnt see the packages lollll
I recommend getting the EC3-DW, Deathadder V3 Hyperspeed, or the ZywOo the Chosen mini. I have the same hand size as you and I will tell you now that the mice I listed will fit you comfortably for palm grip. Be careful if you decide on getting the Deathadder V3 Hyperspeed, it’s still a little big but it will better size wise than the V4.
I use a hybrid claw/palm grip with that mouse and I have my wrist resting on the pad. I usually don’t have any problems with drag or discomfort. It could be different for you depending on how you hold yours. If you want to be on the safe side, the EC3 is a good alternative since the back of the mouse is tucked in a little.
other than the good suggestions so far such as the xlite crazylight, ec3-dw, lamzu maya and logitech superlight 2c i will throw hitscan hyperlight and lamzu paro aurora (early batches were not as good, my later batched reject edition is excellent) into the mix.
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.
Since you don't have a preference get a zowie mouse c version for wired cw or the dw version, zowie mice have good durability. Or check out the op18k and XM2 8k
It's subjective for me the ec3-dw cause it's the best shape and size for my hand size and grip style
I like both tbh I main the ec3-dw but I still go back to my ec3-c if my ec3-dw is charging.
I'm currently using the ec3-dw it has a full tilt design so I'm curious how the np-01s ergo will feel on 17x10 hands, I like using ergos especially on tac fps.
My endgame mouse right now is the ec3-dw + a cheap mechanical keyboard the fantech maxfit 61 with razer yellow switch gen 3.
Depends EC for ergonomic, fk for claw/fingertip, s/za/u for claw grip
Yes but I prefer using the ec3-dw because I have small hands the ec2-dw is just too big for me and fills too much my handsize is 17x10
I use the ec3-dw so I recommend it
I use it for pincer claw, aggressive claw is also nice, but for knuckle claw the hump is too low.
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.
I would say you have an average hand length and your palm is a bit wider, deathadder V4 is a large ergo from the pictures of your dav4 grip for me it looks like a perfect fit. I have small hands 17x10 and my main right now is the ec3-dw my grip on this mouse is Pincer - relaxed claw very comfortable mouse btw. Some say an ergonomic mouse is ideal for palm grip yes but really it doesn't matter as long as the mouse is comfortable with your grip style. Viper V3 pro is a symmetrical mouse and imo they're good for any claw grips I'm thinking it's either the mouse shape isn't for you or symmetrical is not good for your hands.
Ergonomic mice like the deathadder V3 hyperspeed, zowie ec2-dw/ec3-dw the classic shape
Maybe you can try the dav3 hyperspeed it is a different shape compared to the old deathadder shape/size the dav3 hyperspeed is basically a smaller Dav3 pro, or the ec3-dw shorter length but keeps the width of the ec2 and lower hump. If you don't like ergo try the x2 crazy light medium this is a symmetrical mouse with a wider flat sides shorter than the fk2 120mm length, and has a bit of a hump towards the back
Awesome how do you feel about the dav3 hyperspeed is it borderline too big on your hand size and grip style or the size is just fine?
That's great I actually have the ec3-dw right now and ec2-dw I heard the dav3 hyperspeed is similar to the ec2-dw size/dimensions but overall feels smaller than the ec2-dw, you gave me a confidence of trying the dav3 hyperspeed but I'll wait for the v4 hyperspeed if it comes out.
Sometimes I also main the ec3-c over the ec3-dw because of the added weight
Improved your aim? Hell no but maybe you'll have a better experience with that mouse because it's lightweight just so you know it's a different shape and much bigger than the ec2-cw. Maybe you should get the ec3-dw small ergonomic mouse of zowie or buy the ec2-dw.
I'm using the ec3-dw and ec3-c best mouse that I ever use
Small palm grip buy the ec3-dw, I also have small hands I don't do palm grip but I relaxed claw the ec3-dw is currently my main mouse.
I use my g102 for league of legends and ec3-dw for fps games
Wdym? I have here the ec2-dw and ec3-dw they're light and spammable, the glossy version is a bit heavier to press
Superlight 2c because I can now use the potato shape in a small form factor, ec3-dw main mouse I have nothing to say about it, comfortable.
I have the ec3-dw and no sign of any issues the build quality is rock solid and zowie mice are known for having a superior build quality.
I'm gonna be honest with you I have here the ec3-dw and a g102 prodigy I don't notice a difference in terms of performance the g102 has low end specs and the ec3-dw is using the latest specs.
Ec3-dw I love this thing
No difference in terms of performance I highly doubt you'll notice it I have the ec3-dw and a g102 prodigy they feel the same. Just get which one is cheaper oh and also don't buy the one with a low end sensor if you use a glasspad because there is a high chance a low end sensor won't work on the glasspad.
Ec3-dw for me I can fully extend my ring and pinky without issue or slightly angle it, very comfy too and my main mouse
Yeah if you palm grip or you can try the ec3-dw or xlite v3/v4/cl mini, the op18k is too small and not the best for palm unless you have baby hands
Depends on what size you prefer it's preference if you want a mouse that will fill up your palm get the ec2-dw if not then the ec3-dw. Since your current mouse is the basilisk which is a medium size ergo I recommend the ec2-dw. Oh and 4 grams is not noticeable
Op18k v2 and my dw zowie mice I don't use the 8k polling rate on my op18k v2 just 2k and speed mode
Too big unless you prefer a large size my recommendations would be the ec3-dw I have a handsize of 17x10 and it is my main mouse, you may also check out the dav3 hyperspeed it is basically a smaller Dav3 pro
I love my ec3-dw I have a handsize of 17x10
No irl All mice perform the same, I have the ec3-dw and g102 I don't feel any difference other than the shape and weight
I only have the ec3-dw and ec2-dw zowie has a better qc for sure but the pulsar xlite v4 is lightweight + better customization (web based software, or standard software) shape wise slight difference afaik the xlite v4 has a deeper comfort grooves than the ec2-dw. But overall for me zowie wins original shape, I don't mind the 60g it's a perfect weight for me, and the enhanced receiver is cool.
Looks like a pincer claw grip try the ATk ghost extreme or an ergonomic mouse like the ec3-dw, vaxee E1, np-01s ergo (unique shape it's a combination of Ambi and ergo)
If you already used their mice in the past Yes it's one of the reasons to consider a zowie mouse, second you want to try the original shape with multiple sizes currently the ec-dw only has this option
Superlight 2c and ec3-dw both are top tier shapes for me these two are basically my endgame shapes
Ec3-dw and superlight 2c both for gaming I don't have a mouse for work
I also found my 2 favorite mice of all time the ec3-dw and my recent purchased the superlight 2c bit I still enjoy trying different shapes in the future
I'm currently using the superlight 2c (main mouse) ec3-dw (secondary mouse) I like both mice. My recommendations would be the cobra hyperspeed $100 mouse, lightweight, trimode connection, optical gen 4 and optical scroll wheel encoder
Op18k is not the best mouse for palm grip style so I recommend an ergonomic mouse like the ec3-dw or np-01s ergo
Definitely too big get something like the xlite crazy light, ec3-dw or ec2-dw
Ec3-dw and superlight 2c Sold my dav2 mini because of the mushy clicks (I regret selling it now that it's no longer available in production) I stopped using my Ambi mice collection and main the superlight 2c it's basically my endgame symmetrical mouse and what I wanted for a mini superlight 2 The only thing I don't like about the superlight 2c is it doesn't use optical scroll wheel encoder like my zowie mice, second I wish Logitech use a simple dongle storage like the dav3 hyperspeed instead of the magnet circle type dongle storage.
The Keychron m6 is good the rest are bad for small hands / too big. You can also check out the xlite crazy light small and ec3-dw
It's my main ergo mouse quality is the best, coating, clicks are ok but other than that everything is good out
I'm using an EC3 DW, but it's borderline too big for me to use a proper fingertip grip, you might struggle. There's really not a good market for ergo fingertip mice. Pulsar are making good shapes and solid mice, but their sensor firmware issues keep me away.
owned beast x pro, vaxee xe-s, ec3-dw, u2-cw, susantoX, but after gettng 2c, havent really looked back when it comes to competitive gaming. idk what is with 2c but i feel i perform best using it. Hand size 17x9 btw
