What customers say about "Key Specs"

BenQ ZOWIE S2 Symmetrical-Short Gaming Mouse

The side buttons are so much better than my G305's and just quite good feeling overall.
With this mouse I don’t even have to move any of my fingers at all. My hand is relaxed and I’m not worried adjusting grip to press those buttons on the side.
The contour of the shell and the materials used are just perfect. It feels so nice to hold.
The scrollwheel is loud AF and the 16 steps makes it feel awful for scrolling web pages/documents.
When you press very hard the left click also presses the mouse wheel.

BenQ ZOWIE ZA13 Ambidextrous Gaming Mouse

It's a no nonsense plug and play mouse with a great sensor.
Aiming with the mouse feels great. The sensor works flawlessly.
Sensor tracks extremely well.
Very good mouse overall, good shape, good sensor.
Decent sensor which is fine for top tier fps play.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

BenQ ZOWIE S2 Symmetrical-Short Gaming Mouse

Shape is pretty good. The S2 is heaven in comparison with G305. I just feel the rear is a little too fat but it may just be the overall size of the mouse.
I found that despite all being fairly lightweight, the thing that improved my performance the most was shape.
The mouse is very light compared to my death adder, g402, g403 and so is very easy to maneuver.
The mouse wheel is fine for games. And this mouse is the perfect size, fits very well in the hand.
The shape fits my grip style like a glove, the matte black finish not only feels glorious but it is a pleasure to look at too.

BenQ ZOWIE ZA13 Ambidextrous Gaming Mouse

The ZA series has three sizes, the ZA13 which is small. And it is very nice.
Perfect size. My favorite one so far. Excellent for gaming, I like the grip and its precision.
There are three versions to suit different size hands. I like ZA13.
They are always comfortable as long as u buy ur grip and size mouse.
Its a good mouse if you like this size.

What customers say about "Connection"

BenQ ZOWIE S2 Symmetrical-Short Gaming Mouse

Great material quality. It is also very easy to connect.
The mouse shows excellent connection through USB cable.
The connection cable looks strong and reliable. This mouse will last a long time.
I encountered a problem related to the connection, the mouse was constantly disconnecting and connecting.
After a while, I could not connect the mouse to the computer due to a broken cable.

BenQ ZOWIE ZA13 Ambidextrous Gaming Mouse

The cable is one of the most flexible on the market that is provided as standard and made the mouse feel unrestricted without any bungee insight.
The cable of the mouse is ultra thin which makes it easier to place it on bungee, i like this connect.
Cable is not braided but very long(2m). Easy connect via USB.
It is very customizable mouse, but has to be done while plugging the cable.
Any mouse in this world till now cannot beat the quality of the cable of this mouse. Good connect.

What customers say about "Features"

BenQ ZOWIE S2 Symmetrical-Short Gaming Mouse

The S2 clicks feel more satisfying and helps improve my gaming experience.
Feet feel pretty good. Comes with replacement.
No need to install software. Configure DPI and polling rate with the two buttons below the mouse.
The scrollwheel is very good when you bind it to something where you don't want to accidentally scroll two or more times since it's hard to do so.
Feet could be a bit thicker. If you press down the mouse too much it could increase friction by a lot since they're so thin. Might last less too because of it.

BenQ ZOWIE ZA13 Ambidextrous Gaming Mouse

The wheel has a nice feel.
Lack of software and the dpi adjustment via button on the bottom is useful.
The mouse's skates are large and last forever.
Side buttons are very tactile and responsive, requiring very little travel before actuation.
Zowie uses Huano switches rather than Omron for their primary and secondary buttons, which are 'tighter' and 'heavier'.
