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.
r/MouseReview • Need a good wireless small MOBA mouse ->Top 3 for me me , GPX 2C , EC3-DW and OP1-8K all others are collecting dust at the moment .
r/MouseReview • Sold my 70+ mice collection, kept these bangers ->Heck my GPX 2C and EC3-DW arrived the same day . Glad my wife didnt see the packages lollll
r/MouseReview • Thinking ->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.
r/MouseReview • Zowie Ec2-Dw vs Razer Deathadder v3 Hyperspeed | Review ->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
r/MouseReview • What gaming mouse would you guys recommend? ->Zowie dw series and egg mice but latency doesn't matter on all of top brands
r/MouseReview • Best mouse of 2024 ->It's subjective for me the ec3-dw cause it's the best shape and size for my hand size and grip style
r/MouseReview • Whats the best FPS mouse in your opinion and why ? ->I like both tbh I main the ec3-dw but I still go back to my ec3-c if my ec3-dw is charging.
r/MouseReview • why are ALL the new gaming mice wireless ?? ->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.
r/MouseReview • These 2 mice might be the 2 top mice on the market in my opinion ->My endgame mouse right now is the ec3-dw + a cheap mechanical keyboard the fantech maxfit 61 with razer yellow switch gen 3.
r/MouseReview • What's your endgame mouse + keyboard? ->Depends EC for ergonomic, fk for claw/fingertip, s/za/u for claw grip
r/MouseReview • best durable mouse with not many issue? ->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
r/MouseReview • XL hand mouse recommendations ->I use the ec3-dw so I recommend it
r/MouseReview • My hand is 18cm x 8.5cm. I want to buy a new Ergo mouse. I have an aggressive claw grip with my knuckles. My wrist touches the mousepad. ->I use it for pincer claw, aggressive claw is also nice, but for knuckle claw the hump is too low.
r/MouseReview • My hand is 18cm x 8.5cm. I want to buy a new Ergo mouse. I have an aggressive claw grip with my knuckles. My wrist touches the mousepad. ->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.
r/MouseReview • Shape is KING! Share your hand size, main mouse, and how the shape benefits your aim! ->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.
r/MouseReview • Best Razer mice (or alternatives) for relaxed claw grip – 19x10.5 cm hand ->Ergonomic mice like the deathadder V3 hyperspeed, zowie ec2-dw/ec3-dw the classic shape
r/MouseReview • What's a gaming mouse for my grip? ->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
r/MouseReview • After almost 6 years, its time for new gear ->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?
r/MouseReview • Done buying mice. All of these are endgame. ->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.
r/MouseReview • Done buying mice. All of these are endgame. ->Sometimes I also main the ec3-c over the ec3-dw because of the added weight
r/MouseReview • I buy PC Peripherals and dont have a youtube channel or relationships with any brands AMA ->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.
r/MouseReview • Logitech g pro superlight 2 dex ->I'm using the ec3-dw and ec3-c best mouse that I ever use
r/MouseReview • EC1-DW vs EC1-CW ->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.
r/MouseReview • Which mouse do you use? Need suggestions for upgrade ->I use my g102 for league of legends and ec3-dw for fps games
r/MouseReview • How common is it to use different mice for different 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
r/MouseReview • Help me choosing a new mouse for me ->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.
r/MouseReview • Whats your favorite mouse of 2025? ->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.
r/MouseReview • Give me some recommendations for a wireless mouse under 120$ ->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.
r/MouseReview • Ergonomic shape gaming mouse? ->Im master dps and support in overwatch and I main this mouse and it feels like aimbot sometimes so I get what you mean. Other ergos ive tried are dav3 pro, gpx dex, and ec2-dw but none of them felt as good as the dav3 hs so I sold them. Currently im testing out the ec3-dw but the lmb/rmb are kinda short not sure how I feel about it so I still need to try it out extensively but I dont see it replacing the deathadder. For reference my hands are a bit smaller than yours at 19 x 10.
r/MouseReview • Tried an ergo for the 1st time (Razer DAv3 Hyperspeed) ->Ec3-DW, Dav3 hs, Vv3p, Superlight 2c. Hand size is 19 x 10 cm and Claw grip. Main Game: Overwatch Current Rank: Master5 on tank, Master 3 on dps, Gm5 on support Main Mouse: Dav3hs Dav3 hs and vv3p are what I kept from my last collection culling, they were my favorite ergo and ambi that I tried and those two I plan to keep and never sell (Im not a razer shill I promise lol). Ec3 and gpx 2c are mice that I am still testing out atm and ultimately I will decide whether to keep or sell them. I also want to try Vaxee’s lineup (xe v2, np01s v2, E1) but I wish they sold on Amazon. Maybe one day. My last collection post: https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/1i01sdj/mouse_collection_pic/ Mice that I Sold: dav3 pro: too big, not unusably but was a bit unwieldy. S2-DW: was fine size-wise and shape-wise but didnt really use it over the vv3 pro. FK2-DW: too flat. i prefer a bump for stability when aiming. ZA13-DW: most unique shape I’ve tried. It was fine but I prefer the more general(?) shape of the vv3p. EC2-DW: size was fine but i preferred dav3hs. I know alot of people rave about the ec shape but it didnt do anything for me personally. xm2w 4k: I actually liked this shape but the way endgame gear handled the op1w 4k v2 malware issue (took them like 3-4 weeks to make an official statement and inform their customers) left a bad taste in my mouth so I sold it. I don’t want to support this company with my money. gpx dex: similar big size to dav3 pro but the shape and coating made it easier to grip for me. I would have no problems using this but I just prefer smaller ergos. U2-DW: claw grip mouse but I didnt like the locked in feeling it gave. rvmse: too small op1w 4k: too thin gpx2: size is fine but after years of trying to use this shape I was never able to get used to it. I only tried for so long bc so many pros use it but it just doesnt work for me.
r/MouseReview • Sold off most of my collection, these are what I have left ->yah haha every one except the e1-dw which I think would be too big. Ec3->ec2 for me personally. The naming is confusing because it’s not just smaller but the ec3 is wider and shorter. For me most favorite to least would be: 1. S2 2. ec3 3. za13 4. ec2 5. fk2 6. u2 Ec3 might be #1 over the S2 but I am not sure yet I need to test it more. also ec2 and fk2 might be switched but its been a while since Ive used them so I dont really remember.
r/MouseReview • Sold off most of my collection, these are what I have left ->https://preview.redd.it/a17kokd93xdf1.jpg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30559b49acb72f9e1f3c51b8a745b6391c5bf3e3 Been using the E1 before the EC3-DW came out but wanted to get the EC3 because I have small feminine hands (unfortunately) and wanted something more nimble, but not too narrow (The reason why I can't use the Xlite Mini or any super small EC clones). Context: Sweaty gamer who plays CS and Apex. Some random thoughts: E1: Vaxee's Wireless Competitive Mode is noticeably superior to anything I've ever tried, and that remains true vs the EC3-DW. I'm not sure how they pulled it off but it feels noticeably snappier, smoother than the EC3, and it's probably the biggest thing that keeps me from moving off the E1 completely. If you have medium-small hands the E1 is the one to get IMO. The E1 has the better clicks and scroll wheel as well IMO. The only thing I prefer on the EC3 is the coating and the side buttons. But if the E1 came in a EC3-style variant, I would definitely prefer that over the EC3-DW. I also tried Vaxee's new speed skates with the anti collapsing thing. Really nice, has that smooth butter glossy feel but doesn't play too fast either. EC3-DW: EC3-DW's wireless 4k mode disappointed me a little bit, as I mentioned above, it doesn't feel as good as Vaxee's wireless competitive mode. However, it's not bad in any sense either, just not anything special. I like how you can charge the mouse via the dongle though, and you get extra skates and a regular small dongle along with the main dongle. Quite a good value for only $10 more than the E1. The best thing about the EC3 to me is the shape. Nothing else like it on the market. It doesn't feel too small and in my hands it feels much less bulky than the E1. I was expecting it to just be a shorter E1, but it feels more compact all around, which surprised me because I heard the EC3 was just a shorter EC2, which the E1 is basically based off of. However, another disappointment is the click latency on the EC3, again it feels just a tad slower than the E1. Is it going to make that much of a difference in-game? Probably not, but every time I pick up the EC3 I can't help but compare it to the E1 which has almost 0 debounce and feels incredibly responsive. Also had to switch the feet to the black ones included. Surprisingly there wasn't much of a difference between the white and black feet but the black feet is just a hair slower. The white ones felt way to fast with basically zero stopping power on all my pads, but turned into mud on my one super control pad. The weight balancing is also a little back heavy, which throws me off since I grip the mouse near the front like you're supposed to, so they need to fix that honestly. If you have larger hands than me, you probably won't notice the shape difference as much. It only makes a difference to me since I have small ass hands. Let me know if anyone has questions about these mice. In general I would recommend the E1 over the EC3 unless you have very small hands like me, where EC2-like shapes feel too bulky.
r/MouseReview • EC3-DW and Vaxee E1 - Two of the best small ergo mice I've used. ->I'm going with the EC3 right now only because the smaller shape gives me more maneuverability. Everything else, Vaxee basically does better. But we'll see in a few months, I've only had this mouse for a few weeks since it just launched.
r/MouseReview • EC3-DW and Vaxee E1 - Two of the best small ergo mice I've used. ->EC3 and Vaxee E1.
r/MouseReview • What is the best ergo shaped mouse you ever used ->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.
r/MouseReview • Best gaming mouse for comfort? ->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.
r/MouseReview • Mouse recommendation please ->Just FYI the EC3 is very slightly shorter but actually wider than EC2.
r/MouseReview • What is the best ergo shaped mouse you ever used ->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
r/MouseReview • I feel like every single mice is too small ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
