Capracus

Been using the 450 setting for a good 5 or 6 hours now (and yes I do have a 1080p monitor, Benq XL2420T I won in a competition but that's a story for another day) and several times I have found I've needed to actually reposition the mouse. My in game performance did slightly improve compared to 1150 (I think) but the couple of seconds it takes to pick up and move the mouse could be crucial and it's a bit of a nuisance too. I'll be sticking to the 1150 dpi for sure.

The closest setting to 800 dpi on the Ec1 is 1150 as I haven't previously told you, unknown stranger ;) Thanks this was really helpful, I'm using the 1150 setting at the moment, I have tried 450 but I don't use my entire arm to move the mouse so the movement is a little too slow for me but if you seriously think I can become a better player with the lower setting I'll try and learn. I haven't used the glossy white Zowie but it'd be interesting to compare but I think that the black rubber surface is better suited for me, I could be wrong but I'm guessing the surface finish is just a preference? Anyway I don't think you'd have any trouble with peeling not for a long, long time at least and unless you're eating jam (I think American's call it jelly?) while using your mouse I don't think it could get sticky, even then you could probably just wipe it off. :D

Thank you for the information it will help me a lot in the future (hopefully). I've been using the purple setting (1150 dpi) since last night and I feel more in control during games and in general use - web browsing etc.

Thank you! Thanks for the great feedback, I'll be sure to check in every now and then if I have any issues with it or if I get something else I think I'm capable of reviewing. Sorry I'm fairly new to most things in PC Gaming so I'm unfamiliar with some of the terminology, what should I have said? And would using the lower dpi be better for myself as an unexperienced user? Definitely, for only $60AUD I couldn't be happier with the value for money. Thank you and I tried to upload the larger pictures directly but it wouldn't work so I had to upload them elsewhere and then link them.

This is my first gaming mouse so I can't really compare it to another, but this makes a great first impression to a noob like myself. As to why I went with Zowie is because a friend talked it up and I do not like Razer, I find it to be too commonly used, but that;s just my opinion. Comfort - It's incredibly comfortable to hold with a palm style grip or craw grip, it remains comfortable throughout long sessions but the rubber surface (of the black model) can make your hand a little bit sweaty after a while this is in no way bad as it would take a second to wipe your hand dry. Performance - This being my first gaming mouse I'm not familiar with the high acceleration just yet but you're able to change the dpi with a convenient button underneath the mouse, to 1 of 3 settings. Each setting illuminates the mouse wheel according to the dpi: 450 dpi - red, 1150 dpi - purple and 2300 dpi - blue. The only games I have used it with so far are Team Fortress 2 and Portal 2 and I feel as though it may have a slight prediction it's so small it's hardly noticeable, to me at least but it is there. It has button 4 on 5 on the left side which is handy for web browsing and quicker access to reload for example in games. The mouse wheel is stiff to move and makes a click sound when turned, it's not great for web browsing because it's rather slow but great for changing weapon or other action in game, it could not be accidentally moved. Appearance - The EC1 Evo looks great, it's a large mouse with a rubber surface on top and a shiny surface on the side and the led underneath the mouse wheel is an added bonus. Addon: I know the high acceleration is due to the higher set dpi, this can be fixed by lowering it. If you own/owned this mouse feel free to leave me some tips, thanks! The mousepad I'm using in the photo is the Zowie G-CM black. Cons: Makes your hand sweat after prolonged use and the mouse wheel is terrible for internet browsing.
