BenQ ZOWIE EC2-CW Wireless Ergonomic Gaming Mouse for Esports | Enhanced Receiver | 24-step Scroll Wheel | Driverless | Matte Black Coating | Medium Size

Product Information

As a newer release compared to the likes of the Superlight and the EC2, it seems more pros are switching to this mouse as its reliability continues to be proven over time. With a weight of approximately 75 grams, the EC2-CW falls into the mid-range in terms of mouse weight. It strikes a balance between being lightweight and substantial, making it suitable for various grip styles, including palm grip, claw grip, and fingertip grip, thanks to its ergonomic design.

Introduced in late 2008, ZOWIE is a brand dedicated to the development of the best competitive gaming gears available that compliment Esports athletes’ combating performance. From 2015 on, the ZOWIE brand was acquired by BenQ Corp to represent the company’s Esports product line that delivers a truly competitive experience and enjoyment. During gaming, particularly in titles like CS:GO and Valorant, I encountered no issues with performing long-distance horizontal movements. The mouse offers support for DPI settings of up to 3200.

This will remove any excess adhesive that may still be present. Leave the mouse to dry, and then it's time to apply the new ones. To support this theory further, G2 and ENCE are also sponsored by Logitech and yet only 3 of the players on each team used a Logitech mouse.

When considering the Zowie EC2-CW, it is important to note that you will get a mouse that is slightly heavier than some of its competitors and features an older-generation sensor. If you don't mind these aspects, Zowie EC2-CW is a solid offering. At the same time, considering its price tag of INR 14,990, it is not cheap and will only serve gamers who know what they want. The DeathAdder V3 Pro boasts the best specs on paper out of all of the most-used mice in professional Counter Strike. It offers 4000 Hz polling rate, the Razer Focus Pro 30K optical sensor and up to 30,000 DPI.

EINDHOVEN, THE NETHERLANDS, 25 JANUARY 2023 – BenQ announces the release of the ZOWIE wireless mice after encountering a high demand from ZOWIE mice users who have been eagerly waiting for the EC version. ZOWIE, BenQ’s professional Esports equipment brand, took its time to make sure that the wireless mice have a delicate design and enhanced connection stability. Moreover, it prioritised providing cable-free mobility as well as higher resistance to transmission interference.When you're looking to switch out your skates, you’ll need to choose replacements that fit your specific model of mouse due to each mouse having a different layout on its base where the skates are installed. The exception being brands who use the same mouse chassis for multiple models, but that will be mentioned on the skates product description. Of these 51 players, 50 use the G Pro X Superlight and only INS from Grayhound Gaming uses the older (but still highly rated) Logitech G Pro Wireless. Finally, once the grip tape is properly applied, use a sharp hobby knife or scissors to trim any excess grip tape from around the edges of your mouse. Trimming the edges gives your mouse a clean and finished look. The design of the EC2-CW closely resembles its wired counterpart, the EC2-C mouse, with only minor adjustments. The shape of the mouse is intuitive and natural to hold, featuring an asymmetrical ergonomic design with a thumb rest on the left side and a slight groove for your pinkie finger. It largely remains unchanged from the wired version, which ensures a familiar and comfortable feel during use.

The EC2-CW gaming mouse embraces subtlety, catering to the veteran FPS player who values both gaming prowess and the familiarity of Zowie mice. It ditches the flashy gamer aesthetics and RGB lighting we see in most other gaming mice in favour of a more understated design. The ergonomic contours of the EC series have earned the unwavering endorsement of esports athletes. Wireless design with enhanced receiver allows players stable high-quality performance at a competitive scene at home and in an arena. The combination of the standalone receiver and the enhanced antenna at the front tip of the mouse is to decrease chances of unexpected transmission interference and avoid performance glitch. The reason this is second on a technicality is because 10 players use the EC2-CW and 9 players use the regular EC2. The EC2-CW is the wireless version with slightly different specs, the EC2 is wired and is the only widely-used wired mouse in competitive Counter Strike. This method involves using the hairdryer to heat up the glue underneath the mouse feet. Once the glue has been heated long enough, use a spudger (a flat plastic tool with a sharp end) or a knife to scrape underneath the feet to peel them off — be careful if using a knife! The ‘Superlight’ features an ambidextrous, ergonomic shape that works well for multiple grip types and various hand sizes.

Features

If we’re ignoring technicalities, the second most popular mouse is the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro. Photo credit: DiamondLobby The EC2-CW comes with an enhanced receiver made to mitigate any interference issues, particularly in esports arenas or settings where the USB dongle is not in proximity of the mouse. While interference was not a concern in testing, the enhanced receiver did demonstrate impressive range, capable of detecting the mouse from anywhere in my apartment. Once you have your replacement mouse skates in hand, it's now time to remove your old ones from the base of the mouse. There are a few different methods to do this, but we’ll cover the main, most reliable method (in our opinion): With a little preparation and some simple steps, you can enjoy better control and performance like the pros. Of all the teams competing at IEM Katowice 2023, 7 teams had a sponsor that also makes mice. These teams were Sprout, G2, ENCE, NAVI, MOUZ, Ninjas in Pyjamas and FaZe.
