BenQ Zowie EC2-A White

Wired mouse for pro gamers - right handed - 3200 dpi optical sensor - 5 buttons

Last price 79€94
Holy Moly!
Overview

Real precision



After several tests on different surfaces, Zowie by BenQ has developed the Zowie EC2-A, an ergonomic right-handed wired mouse to best fit the body type and gaming style of each individual. The Zowie by BenQ EC1-A and EC2-A mice retain the same shape and size as the basic EC series while introducing the FK series sensor.

Most mice have an information transmission rate of 125 Hz, which is artificially increased to 500 or 1000 Hz by a driver that is often resource intensive. The Zowie EC mice are the only ones that offer 1000 Hz transmission as standard, without the need to install any drivers.


An optimised optical roller


Unlike all other mice, which generally use a mechanical (often cheap) wheel, Zowie EC mice feature a 24-step optical wheel instead of the 16-step optical wheel found on EC mice for longer life, better responsiveness and greater accuracy.

With almost all mice on the market, the cursor moves when the mouse is lifted to return it to the centre of the mat. In professional competitions, this kind of inaccuracy is unacceptable and can be very costly. That's why Zowie has developed a unique optical technology that reduces the distance at which the sensor stops working to 1.5 mm (compared to an average of 2 cm on a conventional mouse).




Main features:

  • Ergonomic 5-button design for right-handed players
  • Exclusive and advanced optical sensor, to ensure accuracy when the player raises and lowers the mouse
  • Ultra-fast data transmission (1000 Hz)
  • Adjustable DPI: 400 / 800 / 1600 / 3200
  • Reliable, robust and accurate 24-step optical wheel
  • Works without any USB driver
  • Compatible with Windows 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2000 or Mac OS X 10.2 and above
  • Dimensions: 120 x 40 x 61~64 mm
  • Cable length: 2 meters
  • Colour: White

    Excellent Zowie mouse purchased in 2019 - Always satisfied!

    I bought the Zowie mouse on LDLC in 2019, and after several years of use, I'm still absolutely delighted with my purchase! As soon as I opened the box, I could feel the quality and sturdiness of this product, and this is still confirmed today. The grip is perfect, perfectly fitting the shape of my hand, offering exceptional comfort even after long hours of playing.

    The performance is as good as ever: the precision of the sensor is impressive, which considerably improves my gameplay. Every movement is fluid and precise, with no latency. The buttons are also remarkably responsive, robust and perfectly positioned.

    Another strong point of this mouse is its sober, elegant design. There are no unnecessary frills, making it an ideal choice for gamers who put performance first. What's more, the cable is long and flexible enough to avoid cluttering up your desk.

    A big thank you to LDLC for the quality of service at the time of my purchase: the speed of shipping and the care taken with the packaging were exemplary. My parcel arrived in perfect condition and on time.

    In short, the Zowie mouse exceeds all my expectations, even after several years of use. I highly recommend this product to all demanding gamers looking for precision and comfort. I'd definitely buy it again!

    Great mouse despite...

    I loved this mouse, but unfortunately the sensor was dropping out, when I was doing quick movements with a small sense, the mouse was making me look at the ground...
    In addition, I'm still disappointed with LDLC, who when seeing that the mouse has a problem + the mouse is out of stock, give me a credit note and not a refund......
    I am more disappointed with LDLC than with the mouse itself.

    Mouse on which counted

    I picked up this mouse because I was looking for an affordable mouse and this one from BenQ seemed to be a good compromise. It is more suitable for large hands, but small hands will fit just as well. Perfect for Apex Legends, Osu!, Fortnite or CS:GO

    Ergonomic, slightly messy but I've seen worse, super precise sensor, buttons on the side quite large (compared to a G Pro Wireless for example) so easy to access.

    I recommend this mouse without hesitation! I will test the Divina range in the coming months.

    Almost perfect

    I haven't used 50 mice in my gaming life I've only used 2 in fact as I've only been on a pc for about 3 years. I used to have the Logitech 502 and it was really cool but too many buttons and too heavy! This one is simple (plug n play), 5 buttons, and very light. It is also very ergonomic and nice to hold. The only downside is that due to its texture it will make your hands sweat (I'm not someone who sweats easily so I think it will be the same for everyone) and therefore it will take sweat which will have to be cleaned often.
    The advice I would give would be to go for the black version which doesn't have the same texture.

    Disappointed

    For me as a csgo player this mouse is excellent, it is precise, ergonomic and the clicks are responsive. However, the problem is the mouse wheel, which in my case is defective. The wheel is very hard, it squeaks and the click wheel only works once in two. For a mouse that claims to be specialized in e-sports I am disappointed. I have to call the service department to fix the problem...

    An excellent, optimised mouse

    I have tested many mice and I can honestly say that the ergonomics of the EC-2A is the best for me. Precision, comfort and above all no software: just plug and play. The DPI setting (400, 800, 1600, 3200) is done directly on the back of the mouse.

    However, if you tend to sweat a lot during game sessions, I would not recommend the white version of this mouse. Indeed, the glossy touch gives an unpleasant sensation with perspiration while the black version has a matte finish that better evacuates these effects.

    The price is rather justified and if like me you play a lot of FPS, mainly CS:GO, this Zowie is a good investment (just look at the pros who almost all play with this brand).
