I use Zowie S2-C but I'm not really high sense anymore cause valorant forces lower sens a bit. Shape is just top class, I like the rear hump and the inward sides.

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.

not really, the dw don't feel as nice with the clicks as the C line. If you don't mind wires and weight and get lucky with the scroll wheel, I still like the S2-C. Also it speaks volumes for a brand that used to be more popular, that only a single valorant pro currently uses a Zowie mouse.

I present to you an addiction that spiraled out of control as soon as I heard the term “Shape is King”. Reliving the days when the first premium paracords were released. Advanced to those superb 1k wireless mice. Then graduated to our current 4k-8k wireless monsters! Been a fun ride. Little bit of history all in one pic for you guys and gals. Shell swaps for cool colorways and all. Dont mind the sports tape on some! I got sweaty hands! Mudcat

Im not really sure man, ive been out of the loop for a while. Zowie S2 always had a high front, maybe try to find a clone of that on eloshapes.

Razer cobra wired Zowie c series (ec3-c, za13-c, s2-c, fk2-c) these are all small mice of zowie and they're all high quality plus it uses an optical scroll wheel like the g502 hero

Check out mice with optical scroll wheel encoders it's usually has better longevity than mechanical encoders. Mice with optical scroll wheel - zowie c series, g502x/basilisk v3, leviathan v4, keychron m6.

Hi, After 6 years of not gaming at all I'm making a casual comeback to fps gaming. Im trying to find better replacement for my mouse Zowie S2 (first edition) which have double click, washed up skates. Hand size: 18.5x11cm Zowie S2 is good shape for me but at the beginning I've constantly changed my grip from princer/claw with wrist on mose to princer/fingertip with wrist on mousepad. My grip is available in photos. Shape in overall feels safe and restricted but size of S2 for me feels perfect. I feel like shape is too safe and something is missing and sometimes i have hand cramps(maybe grip issue?) History with previouse mices: Deathadder Elite - I aim pretty well with it and old grip but it was too big and hurt my ring finger a lot which led me to constant grip change. Zowie FK2 - The shape was amazing, low profile actually made me discover that I aim with symmetrical mouses the best but it felt too narrow and too long at the same time. Im still missing the shape. Zowie EC2 - I thought it will be good after i liked Deathadder but it made me hate ergo mouses because i couldn't aim at all, something was off and forced me to palm grip which i don't. Im putting shape over everyhing so im looking for perfect fit for my grip and size. Update: I ordered zowie za13-c for a test for 30$. I will create new post with results in next week.
