Today, our reviewer is taking a look at the S2-C, Zowie’s updated version of their newest line of mice. What’s immediately noticeable is that Zowie has opted to skip the side buttons on the right side of the mouse which were present on all of their former ambidextrous models. By the way, I think I should mention about this: The ec1 feels a bit big, and the ec2 is a bit small for my hand.

Whereas the FK is a very flat and ‘long’ mouse, the S has a more tightly packed design with more of a hump towards the back. I’m personally more of a fan of regular black mice if I hadto choose, but I don’t really care about the looks of my gaming gear all too much (as long as it performs well it’s fine by me) so the color of this mouse isn’t something that annoys me or anything like that.It’s still a bit loud and it’s not the most secure feeling wheel to me (it can feel a bit ‘flimsy’ when scrolling, and the definition between steps isn’t as crispy as it should be) but all in all it performs fine. I actually messaged Zowie support prior to publishing the review to make sure and they said nothing has changed so yeah. I included a picture comparing the S2 almost fresh out of the box to a barely used EC2-B to illustrate this difference. We will send exclusive offers and invitations to new product launches or events to our BenQ members. The S line is a bit taller, wider, and shorter than the FK line, making it more of a ‘ball’ shape than the pretty thin and sleek FK, if that makes any sense whatsoever.

That’s also partially thanks to the angled stress relief part at the point where the cable exits the mouse shell. Despite the fact that Zowie’s old cables were still somewhat fine if you used them with a bungee it can’t be denied that it was about time for an upgrade. I would love to see Zowie enter the ultralight market as I feel they'd kill it with ultralight versions of their shapes. Coating: I picked up the pink because at the time the matte black didn't exist, my hands tend to sweat a bit while gaming and I just didn't like how sticky the coating felt.There’s no squeaking or annoying rattling whenever you put pressure on the mouse or flick it around, so no issues there at all. I keep saying it when I review Zowie mice, and it keeps ringing true: the shape is undoubtedly one of Zowie’s major strong suits. I found no traces of any malfunctions during my testing either, so Zowie has implemented it well if you’re asking me.
