Zowie (BenQ) - FK2-DW 4K Wireless

Hey all, Longtime lurker here—been quietly reading posts on this sub for years, but I randomly felt compelled to write this after a bit of a personal breakthrough in-game. Maybe it'll help someone else who's been stuck in the same cycle I was. I’ve been playing Counter-Strike since 2001 (yes, I’m old), and over the years I’ve used more mice than I can count—definitely a bit of a mouse whore. My hands are fairly large (19.5 x 11 cm), but for some reason, I’ve always gravitated toward smaller mice. Let’s rewind for a second… My earliest memories were with that classic white Logitech Optical Mouse—didn’t take gaming too seriously back then, but I remember it being on the smaller side, and I guess that stuck. When I started getting more serious, I switched to the Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0 and that was honestly my golden era. My aim felt crisp, clutch plays were regular, and I never thought much about the mouse—it just worked. After that, I fell back into the small mouse rabbit hole: SteelSeries Kinzu, Razer Diamondback, etc. I still held my own, but I noticed something: I sucked with the AWP. I just accepted it—"Guess I’m not an AWPer." Eventually landed on the EC2-A for a long stretch. Never quite regained that 1.6-era magic, but I chalked it up to aging, life, priorities shifting… all that stuff. I kept going with small mice anyway—FK2, MM710, MM720 (honestly loved that one for pure comfort), and most recently the MM712. From 2017 to now, I’ve been on and off with CS. I’ll grind for a few months, then disappear for a while. Recently jumped back in and found my MM712’s sensor acting up. I had a few backups lying around, including an old Glorious Model D wired—a mouse I never gave much time because it was big, and hey, I’m a “small mouse guy,” right? Wrong. I booted it up, played a few DMs, and… damn. My aim felt locked in. Tapping was on point. I had way more control than I ever did with smaller mice. That “floating” feeling from smaller shapes? Gone. Micro-adjustments that used to mess up my spray? Gone. This thing just plants itself in my hand like a brick, and suddenly I’m palm gripping again like it’s 2005. Even the AWP, which I’ve always struggled with, started clicking—literally. Shots are connecting more than ever. For years I told myself, “I’m just not an AWPer,” but maybe I just never had the right tool in my hand. It made me realize: I’ve been prioritizing what feels comfortable over what actually performs best for me. The EC2 probably should’ve been an EC1. Who knows, maybe I’d be lifting a trophy at Katowice by now /s. I’ve had my eye on the Vaxee E1, but it’s more in line with the EC2 size—and now I’m thinking I’ve been going too small for too long. Might be time to go full circle and pick up the EC1-DW instead. I’m finally starting to understand that bigger might just be better… at least for my hands and how I play. Has anyone else experienced this? TL;DR: Big-hand guy who loved small mice realized he was nerfing his own aim for years. Turns out comfort doesn’t always equal performance. RIP to all that lost ELO.

I was looking for FK2-DW. 19/10cm hands and claw/relaxed claw grip type.

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

Exactly same grip and size, even the habit of resting occasionally the right part of the palm on the mice. I've tried fk2-dw, vaxee xe-s, viper v3 pro, op1 8k, and g pro x, they are all good but there are something missing which I can't tell. Personally I dislike fingertip only mouse for their unpleasant shape but probably it's time to have a try. Pulsar showed certains pictures about "x2f" on X and that would be interesting

Best mouse i have tested so far i keep going back to it even if wired. At the moment I am with fk2 wireless because wanted to test docking charger that kinda improves wireless weakness. But really love. Op1

I have your grip and use the GPX 2 with no issues. Currently trying the Fk2-DW with this grip and also have very little issue.

Its intersting that every reviewer have good clicks I have 3 units and every one of them have bad clicks, and not in terms of heaviness but in terms creaks and how bad they feel

both of them but right click is worse (on all 3 copies)

I’d seriously consider Zowie. Maybe something like the fk2-dw would be relatively close to the model O, just a little flatter maybe. Could consider the S2 if you want something a little taller and bulkier. The zowie mice have optical scroll wheels which is the absolute best in terms of durability. There are very few other companies that use optical scroll wheels. Fair warning, these wheels are loud and extremely notchy so, that’s a downside if it bothers you but it’s very unlikely they will ever fail.

You can absolutely tell 1mm difference in hand. Well if you don't mind the sides to be thinner, I'd suggest zowie fk2-dw, viper v2 pro got bad scroll wheel encoder
