Zowie (BenQ) - S1-C

The Zowie S1-C is a nice wired mouse with some weight. The Logitech G502 Hero has extra metal weights which you can add or remove to your liking. Most mice at the moment tend to be on the smaller, lighter side though.

After 5 years down the rabbit hole I can't tell you that there even is a best mouse for FPS but I can tell you where I settled. For reference I have large hands (21 x 10.5). I have bought and used nearly 20 mice over the last 5 years. Main games are CS2 (20k elo), Valorant (immortal), The finals (diamond), Pub G and battlefield. The mouse that I have the most consistency with and best most natural feelings in hand is the zowie FK1+-C. Yes it's wired, yes it's all of 87grams, but it feels like I'm aiming with my eyes. I never worry about finger position or grip tension. It doesn't even enter into my mind. The viper V3 pro is similar but the front flair annoys me. To be clear I have performed very well on mice such as my deathadder V3 pro and vaxee np-01. I also play well on my zowie S1-C and zowie U2. The gpx was fine shape wise but the sensor skips occasionally (two separate copies). But as soon as I put my hands on the FK1+ I just knew. It's a sensation that can only be described as the absence of feeling. It just fits, I don't think about it. Is it perfect? Who knows... But it's more than good enough for me to be my best and enjoy the games I play at the level I play them at. I do wish there was a wireless version, but I'm ok with the wire for how well I perform with the mouse. Will it be perfect for you? Probably not... But I hope that you find a mouse that puts all others on eBay/market place like I have. Good luck.

It's gonna hurt but my recommendation is going to be the zowie S1 -C... Yes it has a wire. Now I have large hands (22 x 10.5) and the S1 is the best mouse shape I have ever used. I currently have on my desk a viper V3 pro, zowie U2, zowie S2-dw, deathadder V3 pro, Lamzu Atlantis, XM1, and the S1-c.... And it's not even close for me... The S1 is my best feeling best performing mouse by a mile. It's not light by modern standards, it has a wire, it has zowie stock skates on it... But it's the only mouse I can pick up and put my hand on and never think about my grip again. It's like I'm aiming with my eyes. Once you get that feeling with a mouse everything else is just not it.. It sucks because the viper V3 pro is a great feeling mouse. I want it to work out so badly. But every now and then I catch myself thinking about my fucking grip. Am I holding it the same as yesterday? my pinky is too far back, my ring finger feels off.... I'm not going to tell you what to buy. Only that I hope you find a mouse that works for you the way the S1 works for me...

Try a Waizowl Cloud on Aliexpress.. Sellers are selling them for $40 I own ZA12-C, ZA13-C, S1-C, S2-C and OP18K additionally a Intellimouse Pro.. - which gave me inspiration to checkout the Waizowl Cloud The ZA12-C grip width is perfect for me - other mice are just a little to narrow like you described. The Waizowl Cloud is super comfortable and I aim well with it. Checkout on eloshapes! - [https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/compare?p=scyrox-v8-vs.-zowie-za13-c-vs.-zowie-za12-c-vs.-microsoft-pro-intellimouse-vs.-waizowl-ogm-cloud](https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/compare?p=scyrox-v8-vs.-zowie-za13-c-vs.-zowie-za12-c-vs.-microsoft-pro-intellimouse-vs.-waizowl-ogm-cloud) For aggressive / comfortable claw the ZA12-C is still my fav.. perfect grip width and super comfortable round rear hump. The Waizowl Cloud is another fav shape easily with as much research as I've done comparing back and forth.. The tech and weight for the $ is also pretty great - idc for 4/8k hz mice.

waizowl cloud, pulsar xlite large, zowie big mice like za11,s1,fk1 (sadly most not avidable in wireless)

Zowie c series or endgame gear for a quality and durable mouse

Buy zowie c series mouse or the endgame gear xm2 8k

Zowie s1-c Ec2-c G502 hero - this mouse has an adjustable weight

Xm2 8k, dav3 wired, zowie c series

XM2 8k Zowie c series (EC, s, fk, za)

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

They are loud but have a durable scroll wheel

Shape, size, wired (c wired version) and wireless (cw and dw are wireless dw being the latest wireless mice of zowie) u2-dw is a medium size Ambi mouse so I would suggest the s1-c or za11-c

Hi I have a benq zowie S1 (I think anyway), the larger one, I get horrible pains in my rist and tendons and Ive heard that you should rest your palm on the mouse to reduce weight on your rist and arm. when I do that my finger hang way over the end of the mouse so that the buttons are at the middle of the fingers. I could curve the fingers but surely this would cause some problems I thought this was a big mouse and I dont think my hands are that huge. What should I do? I have an elbow rest on my computer chair and maybe that would aleviate the pain a bit.

i personally dont like the xm2we(which has the same shape as xm1r) but solely due to the shape, other than that it is a good mouse. depends on what kind of shape you want for your mouse. if you want a safe option, or a mouse with a shape that can accomodate for multiple gripstyles and handsizes, there are many g pro superlight clones that are bascially just as good, such as mchose a7 pro or incott g23 (there are many others). zowie also still sells their wired c-series mice too which are also great options. you could also find some good deals for used options. I personally use the deathadder v3 wired.

Can I ask what type of game? Just curious. I think the ULX is pretty good for this, but I sometimes feel like I sacrifice stability with it. Zowie FK/S/ZA series are all excellent shapes for wrist aimers, just a bit dated in tech compared to today. It would also help for you to tell us how your hand measures since the advice will vary greatly depending on this factor

I have a BenQ Zowie wired mouse, and it’s amazing. No frills, high quality.

Zowie mice are super well made and long lasting and they have buttons underneath to change DPI and polling, no software. The wireless mice aren't cheap though, you'll need to look at a wired version.

The wired zowie is better than all these 3. U will de dissapointed if u want it yo be ec2 level. What about Deathadder hyperspeed? that would be way better than all 3 and doesnt cost much more i think

non pro viper wireless, razer deathadder, i'd argue g305 lightspeed, xtrfy m42, wired zowie, superlight 1, glorious wired, some lgg mice, some vaxee mice, endgame gear op1k. All these are like 25-80€ if my quick currency version is right. Some of these are wireless too. Especially if you snipe a sale you can get a really good deal. in "top tier mice" I mean the ones that are basically the same shape as the "standards", superlight 2, viper v3 pro, deathadder v3 pro, etc. Obviously the tech is a bit worse, but we were hitting insane shots on mice 15+ years ago, even the worse mice are 100% good enough. 4k/8k polling doesnt change that much, and thats the major sell of the more expensive mice. I've managed to pick up qck+ for like 10€ on average the last few years, always on sale somewhere. Otherwise a sale on a lgg saturn (standard), zowie gsr (any version you prefer). Qck might not be the longest lasting, but it's usually on a good sale so you never really have to fork out more than AT MOST 40€ a year on it if you're really picky with pad and swap it 4x a year, but most ppl usually keep it for 6-24 months atleast.

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.
