Zowie (BenQ) - S2-C

Im surprised I didnt see a single Zowie mouse on the list. I've been comfortably using an S2 and havent thought of buying a new one for over 4 years. Is there a stigma against Zowie mouses in general? or are they just not popular? Genuinely curious.

No mouse software takes more than 500mb of space so I don't really understand your point of view. But i'm not here to argue so I recommend you to take a look at some wired Zowie mice they have dpi and polling rate buttons on them and no software needed. As for specific models I highly reccomend the S2-c very good and safe shape and you can find them at a reasonable price too.

Thank you for your well written review I relate your hand size and the quest of finding a great mouse that would fit my hands(20.5x12) and claw grip. My mice journey is as follows: My first mouse was a intellimouse then a razer deathadder first gen then a mamba I loved that mouse a lot (hence why I'm hyped since x3 seems like a similar shape) then deathadder 2013 then I had zowie s2, ec1b csgo edition, gwolves sköll, glorious model O, g pro x superlight, endgame gear xm1r(loved the locked it feeling) vaxee np01 I had strain really quick with it then Dav3 didn't like it as I thought. I got a Lamzu Atlantis last year and experienced the same strain as the xm1r 6 months ago I got a Fantech helios 2 pro that I just sold and then the 2 mice I have right now are the Scyrox v8 and the incott ghero pro I'm currently trying to sell the incott to be able to purchase the maya X, do you think I should dig or wait for X3?

Got the S2-C and yep I think i’m good with it until it stops working but feels so durable I think it could easily reach 5 years

if you're not afraid to go used, there are some great older wired mice like zowie b/c series, xm1's, vaxee etc.. floating around on mousemarket or ebay with probably better tech than those listed. it might take some more time but I'm sure people still have some wired mice kicking around in storage somewhere. edit: issue is mostly US only :(

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

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

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.

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

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.
