Nice Change

 

This was a pleasant surprise from my MX 318 I used for a couple of years. Was reluctant to try something new when the 518 gave out. But I am glad I did. I really like the no-frills features. Just plug it in and go. I also tried other brands and am...

Love the mouse, too bad it's defective.

 

Let me start by saying that this mouse is a home run! Being marketed as a gaming mouse, the price and quality (with a caveat) is certainly hard to beat. First the compliment, now for the slap to the face: The particular mouse I received is defective....

Great ergonomics ; Seemingly high quality construction ; Excellent tracking ; Great feet ; Simple ; Flexible, unobtrusive cord

No option to disable LED ; Ungainly DPI selector ; Slightly irritating audible click when scrolling the wheel rapidly

Zowie Who??

 

I use the side buttons for surfing the web, you can jump back to previous pages then forward by simply clicking the buttons with your thumb. I'm saying that here because I get people asking that question a lot.

If it was not for the very positive reviews here I would have never given a Zowie mouse a second thought, but I'm happy I did ; First thing is it has an excellent design in terms of comfort and feel while using. The palm of my hand can rest on the...

A little pricy. DPI button is on the bottom

Amazing

 

I have used the G5, deathadder, xai, and the 1.1 ms and I must say this is probably the most comfortable mouse I've used...but that's a preference I guess. I don't know what to say about the mouse wheel. It has a weird feel to it...not bad nor...

DPI switcher is at the bottom of the mouse. Not that I really care since I usually play at low sensitivity but I would have preferred if the DPI switcher was on somwhere on the side or top of the mouse like the XAI

Zowie EC1

 

Definitely a great mouse. The overall construction and feel surpass any mouse that I've tried. I'd recommend this mouse to anyone that plays FPS, or any game competitively.

This mouse is great. The design is solid, it's like a mix between a DA/518/3.0. The mousewheel is excellent. The side buttons feel great and sturdy. Having 1000hz w/o the installation of drivers is a plus for anyone that plays CS/LANS

I'm not sure if this is a pro/con, but the cord is veryyyyyyy long

No Thanks.

 

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. The mouse has a nice shape and was very responsive and accurate in game BUT if you play with a heavy hand I promise this is not the mouse for you. You will not even be able to place your hand on it without clicking away. I play...

Nice Shape

The action on this mouse is way too sensitive for me. I literally can not rest my hand on the buttons without them clicking. I found myself right clicking in game constantly without meaning to. Same deal for when I'm browsing the web. Way too sensitive...

Best mouse Ever

 

If you are thinking of buying this mouse, I urge you to do so. This is the BEST mouse you will ever own.

This mouse has the best feeling for a player with big hands. It feels perfect in my palm. It is very durable, and has not caused me any problems at all

Sometimes the Mouse1 button is a bit flimsy, but it can also be a pro, if you are in need of a quick trigger

One mouse to rule them all

 

I have tried so many other mice over the years it would make your head spin. I would always go back to the old reliable Microsoft 1.1 because nothing felt as good or made me feel as connected. However, the time has come to push it aside. This is...

Everything you need, nothing you don't. The lift off distance is as good as they say. The new wheel technology works beautifully, it doesn't have the accuracy problems I get from so many others. No bad drivers or junk software (logitech has crashed my...

Got a 1st gen when I first purchased this mouse off another site. It had a problem with the wheel so I had to return it. The one I got from newegg is flawless so don't worry

Very Nice Mouse!

 

If you, like me, don't need profiles or macros and just want a simple, functional mouse for everyday use, try a Zowie!

Best tracking mouse I've owned. No jitter or other annomolies on any of the popular cloth pads I own. Nice tight, low travel buttons,very comfortable. Best of all the Zowie is truly plug 'n play no drivers or other clunky software needed. Good scroll...
