Was going to comment this but decided to see if someone did it first. Zowie's EC2-DW is just insanely comfortable. I have both the DW and the CW. Started with the CW model and when I found out about a lighter mouse with the same exact shape, I decided to instantly buy it

Honestly I would love the deathadder v4 pro but the v3 is basically the same and after trying the zowie ec2 cw I think I'm sticking with zowie for now . Hopefully razer cones out with something more enticing.

FYSA, Zowie used to send a mouse sampler to your house then keep and pay for the one you like. That’s how I got my EC2-A. I will always go with them for their customer service and great quality. They made me a loyal customer and I like more simple mouses or mice rather than 27 buttons on the side so they work for me. Probably upgrading to their wireless soon. I know the super light G or whatever from Logitech gets a ton of love too and only has “5” buttons, but I like Zowie.

I have a EC2-DW as well and agree with you about the clicks.

I grabbed a EC2-DW when they came out even though I had a EC2-CW. No, not worth getting any of the new mice. Yes, I still have both and yes, I do like Zowie products. I even use a G-SR III mousepad. But there are a lot of better options out there that are cheaper.

The RAWM ER21PRO is an exact clone of the EC2 that's only $75. I own one and I can definitely say the clicks are so much better on the RAWM than the Zowie mice.

I find this quite strange because I share the same concerns as you, but unlike you, the curved side of the EC2 is why I always used mice based on that; IME 3.0, and then EC2 versions over the years (EC2 OG with glossy sides, EC2 Blue rubberised, and a few years ago the EC2-DW. However, I switched to the Vaxee AX O because I experienced some skipping issues with a few EC2-DW units. My Vaxee has recently given me some double-clicking issues after a year and a half, and I'm thinking what's next

Loving my zowie ec2-cw. Classic ergonomic shape fits the hand so well, makes it great for fps.

I have the same size hands and had almost the same problem with the same mice - aggressive claw grip so no pinky dragging, but I had to curl too much for the HyperSpeed. Landed on a Vaxee E1 and it fits me perfectly.  It and the Zowie EC2-DW its shape is based on are worth checking out. The E1 sometimes does feel a bit short in my hand, but the EC2 is supposed to be a bit longer so it might work better for you since your grip seems and sounds a bit less aggressive than mine. Consider nabbing them secondhand if the price is prohibitive (they pretty much don't go on sale ever). edit: Also important to note those Deathadder shapes you tried are based off the EC1/2, so it'll be a familiar shape to you.

They're both very similar shape wise, maybe EC2 is better since it's a little longer but imo you can't go very wrong that way (same person designed the shape for both mice). It may be better to consider features making the decision. EC2-DW has a nice recharging station that doubles as the dongle but has a very tactile and loud scrollwheel which might not be good for an office but is pretty great for gaming. Vaxee E1 has a standard dongle and normal and high quality scrollwheel, but also has imo much nicer main buttons. Vaxee is actually some core members of Zowie who left to make their own gaming company and Zowie has had arguably the best reputation among gaming mice companies for a very long time. Both make mice built like tanks and are proven eSports options, so you don't have to worry on that front.
