Has there ever been a fanbase more loyal than Zowie’s? Unlikely.

The smallest version of Zowie’s new wireless ergonomic offering leaves nothing to the imagination. A product as surprising as the sun rising each day. Not in a bad way of course, because this is exactly what anyone who has enjoyed their Zowie mice over the years wants. The same experience, improved with each new iteration.

With measurements reflecting a length of 119mm, middle hump height of 41mm, and center with of 61mm. It is a shape that can accommodate many different grip styles while still offering that comfort of an ergonomic shape.

Yomgie’s Pros

• An esport grade product meant to perform at the highest level. Even without the latest and greatest 3395 sensor, the 3370 feels like it just might have the best implementation ever in a sensor. Zero issues to be found across a wide variety of games played at both 1080p and 1440p. No skipping, no jumps, no spinouts, I’ve have put this thing through every imaginable scenario in the months since release and not once have I ran into a situation where this mouse let me down.

• The Enhanced Wireless Receiver/Dock has become my favorite addition ever included in a mouse. While the price is steep at $149.99, it’s very easy to see that the dock alone is worth a fair chunk of that. While at home you may not need the enhanced connectivity, one can only trust that Zowie worked hard to ensure that their connection couldn’t be interrupted even in the most aggressive LAN scenarios. There’s nothing more simple that simple docking the mouse to charge after a long gaming session.

• Construction is as sturdy as you can imagine at 76 grams. A weight that feels less burdensome than some of it’s closer counterparts of old, mainly in comparison the old G PRO at 80 grams. No squeak or rattle anywhere to be found, and no parts of this construction flex one bit.

  Yomgie’s Cons

• The elephant in the room with practically all of Zowie’s mice is the scroll wheel. It’s safe to say most dislike it, if not hate it. This one is no exception. While easier to spam than most modern options (Pulsar, Logitech, Lamzu, Finalmouse, etc.) the awful rattle of each step as you scroll feels like nails on a chalkboard. Once they find a way to get that muted while keep the same spammability to it, I’m sure many more will embrace this cult-like relic.

• Very noticeable post-travel on Mouse 1 and 2 clicks. While the click itself feels great in my opinion, I believe a lot of end user’s will find a bit of distaste with the amount of post-travel (roughly 1mm) that is physically felt and visibly seen. If you spam click or speed click in whatever application necessary, this is something to note. Otherwise, I have had no issue with it personally in any game I play.

A B S O L U T E L Y.

Unfortunately, I am a Zowie Truther. The complaints about it not being the “latest” sensor, or it being too pricey, or whatever else the community states about this product simply did not affect my decision to purchase. The EC1 was one of my first FPS gaming mice, and this tool I feel is a must have for any one that wants to pursue competitive shooters at the highest level. It may not be the tool to break your personal bests in an aim trainer, or it may not be your favorite clicks, but it will ALWAYS be the most reliable mouse you can put an insane amount of hours into.

If you like tactical shooters, it’s likely you’ll use something closer to this mouse than others. However, if you play something faster paced, or more chaotic, you’ll find that a combination of this mouse and a faster gliding pad will easily let you push your skills to the next level.
