Introduction

Zowie is a relatively new brand that focuses on making gaming mice for avid FPS fans. Their most recent mouse is dubbed EC2 and features a 2000 DPI infrared optical sensor. This might not sound like much, but it is actually more than most people need even for gaming on 1900 x 1200 px screens. The tricked out part about the EC2 is that has a really low lift-off distance of around 2 mm.

Interestingly enough Zowie produce their gaming mice in two different sizes and two different feels. The white mice from Zowie feature a normal smooth surface whereas the black models have a rubberized feel to them according to their site. The sample we received was of the white livery with the smooth finish.

The Package

The Zowie EC2 comes in a thick cardboard box. You can actually try the feel of the mouse without opening the box.


The bundle is anything but extraordinary. You get the mouse and a sticker! This is of course made up for by the fact that this mouse does not need any drivers in order to perform its best.
