BenQ Zowie U2 Wireless Gaming Mouse | Esports, Sport Science | Enhanced Receiver | 60g Lightweight | 3200 DPI Sensor | 5 Buttons | 70 Hr Battery Life | Driverless

Best mouse I've ever used hands down. I came from the G502X Plus after it died at only a year old. The U2 is just such a superior product.I use it all day long for work and game a couple hours a night, and I get about a week out of a charge. But the charging dock is so convenient, I usually don't let the battery drain all that much.Buttons have great feedback, a somewhat loud click, and perfect actuation force for me of ~79 grams. Switches are Huano Transparent Blue Pink Dot. Precise, light, and quiet scroll wheel. The wireless click latency is under 6ms, and the PixArt PAW3395 sensor is crazy accurate. Check out the RTings review for details.While the plastic of the mouse is a bit of a fingerprint magnet, it doesn't seem to degrade like many mice. I only touch electronics with clean hands and I clean my mouse often so I'm a not a great example for this, but I can at least say that the mouse is easy to wipe down given its shape and lack of rubbery bits. I use isopropyl alcohol on it every week with no bad effects. Very durable and reliable. I will update this review if it ever dies on me or gets gross.Comfort is amazing. My hand is very picky about mice and just about all of the options in this segment hurt after an hour or so. Best claw grip mouse on the market to me, I can use it all day.Accessories in the box are great. You get the wireless dock and a little USB type A dongle. Switchable source on the bottom of the mouse. Spare mouse feet, an actually useful manual, type C to A adapter, and a really nice cable.And my favorite thing: no required app. Having one less pointless app on my PC that takes up 500-900 MB for absolutely no reason on my drive and one less tray icon is fantastic. All the controls you need are on the bottom of the mouse.No notes, just get one. It's cheaper than most of the competition, while being one of the very best offerings in the gaming mice market.

TLDR: Fantastic symmetrical mouse option, with a great feeling unique shape.Pros:- Light weight- Great symmetrical shape- Good scroll wheel and click- GREAT side buttons- Convenient Charging dock- Driverless- Solid battery life- Nice zowie coating for gripCons:- Zowie left and right click tend to feel a bit mushy to meThoughts:So from my title, I have felt like Zowie lagged way behind when it comes to the advancements in gaming mouse tech. Wireless mice have been light weight and reliable for years now, and their wireless EC's still kinda came in on the heavier side. I know 70ish grams isn't that heavy, but when other companies have practically copied your shape, you can't really be coming in heavier. To be clear, I don't think the wireless EC's are bad at all, I just think there are better options if you're looking for that shape. The only thing really different between most mice now is the weight, shape, and clicks. They all perform pretty identically. All that said, this one really feels like a really good entry. It's about 60g which is a really nice weight. The shape is unique and feels really good in the hand. The side buttons are fantastic and their placement is just as great (at least for where I grip). Zowie coating always feels good and prevents slipping, even when your hands moisten up. The scroll wheel feels really good and you can scroll exactly as much as you want. I really like when mice come with docks, or have 3rd party docks available. It's just convenient to set the mouse down on it instead of unplugging the dongle, and plugging up the mouse, then unplugging the mouse, and re-plugging the dongle. Again, not really a big deal, just really nice to have included. Another thing I really appreciate is Zowie mice being driverless. One less thing I need installed. The only 2 things I can think of as cons are that Zowie's left and right clicks have never felt great to me. No exception here, the clicks are sort of mushy feeling to me. Not a dealbreaker, but I'd like to see Zowie come up with something more snappy feeling. I'd really like them to switch to some good optical switches to also extend the lifespan of the clicks. The other thing that I didn't mention because, again, not a big deal is I wish the dongle had some kind of battery level indicator. Like, and LED that changed color to indicate battery levels. I don't like to leave anything charging all the time because it's not good for the battery, so it'd be nice to have an idea of how much juice is left. Other than those 2 minor issues, the mouse is great and I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone interested.

bought this for my son and it's light weight, battery life is great and performance is fast for gaming design to comfortable for use

This was my first Zowie mouse. I returned it, but liked it so much I bought the EC2-CW instead.Why the good review? It's a good mouse, and I really do appreciate all the settings being on the mouse instead of an app. Coming from the GPX1 I thought it would be a good replacement, but the narrow front made my hand hurt. The backside does fill out the hand more than the GPX which is good. There was a barely noticeable amount of side flex, but you'd have to be looking for it, and it could have just been the one I was sent. People will probably complain about the scroll wheel, but I don't really mind it. You really don't hear it while in use. You'll either have headphones, or something coming through your speakers. All the buttons were on point, and felt crisp. Dock is...convenient to have I guess, but idk how much of a difference it makes. Other than that it's a mouse. If it didn't hurt my hand I would have kept it. I just have to hold my mice in a specific way.
