I haven't tried any other Zowie mice other than the EC1 eVo and the EC1-A eVo, however, now that they all have the same sensor, I can guarantee that it will be an amazing mouse. 

 

After using this mouse for a couple of days I can definitely say this is one amazing piece of hardware. At first I was debating whether to get the FK or ZA, but after trying out the shape and grip on both mice I chose the ZA simply because I prefer that high curve at the back to rest my palm. As for the size of ZA I went for the smallest size for convenience and portability. ZA12 in my opinion fit my hands pretty well I'd say, and ZA11 was just simply too large.

Certainly.

 

EDIT: I want to know what that mouse is like. Should be great for a portable mouse. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

For free is a different story, but most about the mouse has already been spoken about and the performance is rather meh.

I mean well kinda free I have to review it and possibly even do a video on it. But hey that's how I grow I guess.

The one thing to remember about my reviews is that I'll almost never go super in depth about the sensor. I'll probably just comment on if I or others have experienced as issue based on our use case.

For me the shape is probably the most important. I mean if it's go the best sensor out there but you can't use it for more than a half hour there is no point. Also switches/buttons are quite important as they dictate what you can all do with mouse besides the basics. There are a number of things that go into this.

Classic mouse. Kinda sad Logitech stopped producing these and didn't make any upgraded versions.

Look at the Alienware Tactx Mouse. Its not new but they are making it again. Its very similar but different. The software for it is ancient though.

I suggest the Razer Mamba Tournament Edition which is what I have actually decided to switch to fully as of last night after using it for a couple weeks.

It does look kind of like the G9x :o I remember the G9x Call of Duty MW3 edition was in stock for a period of time in some regions. Dunno if they're still available now.

I'm thinking of picking up a Zowie ZA11 just to see what it's like, shape wise, compared to my EC1-A. It's designed for more of a relaxed palm grip, but is still ambidextrous, which is what interests me the most. Plus, it's a little bigger both in height and length to the EC1-A. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

My MiCO that Monoprice sent me came in yesterday. Expect some pics soon.

So here in the US we can't get the Alcor ND are limited to the Mazar which I have used and feel a ton like the DA actually. I'd love to get my hands on a Alcor! Any news of the Xornet v2 over in Europe?

Yea the Alcor is great very light and has great ergonomics, its lower and longer than the DA but MUCH more light. Haven't really followed the Xornet mice so I dunno about that but havent seen any news on a v2 yet

Here it be! https://goo.gl/SrXHMw

Just felt a bunch like the DA when I grabbed it after a friend bought one. Well keep an eye out since that's the only area ive heard rumors from.

 

Completely forgot that Monoprice were distributing Zowie mice. Are they cheaper too, or no? 

 

 

Noice. Looking forward to a review regarding this mouse :D

 

 

Do it. I recently got myself a ZA13 and I am really satisfied with this mouse (so far).

 

I'll pick on up in a few weeks for sure. Just need to get a new desk top and add to my PC's storage. 500GB isn't enough for mass storage. :D
