Spot-on review! My side buttons feel a bit better than the EC1-A but still pretty squishy. I'd love if they just removed them or replaced them with one solid/firm button.

Noticed a ton of CSGO pros upgraded to the EC-B series from their EC-As during the Eleague Major this last weekend. I like that its all black with no LEDs.

Tried the mouse for a bit in a store, and out of 20 or smth different makes and models. The larger EC felt exactly like my SS Rival 300.
Just sayin' if anyone has a Rival and wants to change mice, but is happy with the feel, shape and hand position of the SS, this one should be a good replacement.

I had a Rival 300, and then upgraded to the newer 310 as soon as it was released. I love this mouse.

Doesn't like new micro feet :/
My old EC-A still better in my pov. Outdated Avago 3310 sensor is not that much critical for me.

Well I’m Logi 4 life(G502 Spectrum’) your dissing of side buttons says it all for me. For any and every FPS the front side button is always reload going back as far as the OG MS Intellimouse. So yeah you say they are a low point for the mouse and for me personally that’s a no deal.

3310 still is glorious. If it wasn't for an unwanted doubleclick on my FK1...

3310 is fine. But 3360 even better!

Yeah, they would need to re-design how the side buttons are actuated, that lever design is just not good. I mean, they have direct actuation on FK and ZA, so they now how it should be done.

True, my main mouse is still the ZA11, 3310 is a fine sensor.
