The starlight came out 2 years ago as the lightest (full sized) mouse available, with the latest tech at the moment and made out of magnesium, a new material that nobody was using, at a price of 189, and everyone freaked out saying it was a complete madness to charge that much for a mouse. Well, now Zowie has come with its wireless mice line, several years later than any other brand, with outdated tech and weighing more than any other alternative from 76 to 79 grams depending on the model, and for 189 too.

[@krombunk2764]

too be fair people werent happy about 189 but the main issue was the no stock at first and terrible qc

[@HaloDaycare]

I'm a huge Zowie fan as well. I've mained the GSR and the GTFX for some time. I've mained the EC1 and the ZA11 as well for some time. Zowie's approach is similar to Toyota's approach to design. Slow, methodical, and not quick to jump on the latest tech trends. I respect that. However, I don't think this mouse is worth 150$ to me personally and I will not be spending the money on it. I would consider it if the price were to be cut in half. At this price, I would've liked to see 4k/8k polling rate with the best sensor on the market. I'm disappointed a little. Still a diehard zowie fan tho

[@asianck]

Feeling the same here. For such a high price, I expect it to be made with the newest tech lol. The price is so disappointing since I’ve been waiting for a wireless Zowie mouse for a while now. Gonna see if it drops below 100 during sales. I’m still using the same old EC2-A since 2015.

[@Abadeez]

4k/8k polling rate is utterly useless for a mouse, especially wireless as it just annihilates battery life with no noticeable performance gain. Our human bodies can't even begin to start using something like 1k polling rate let alone 4 and 8k.

[@alkestos]

@@Abadeez this. Except the part about “human bodies able to use 1khz” what do you even mean lmao.

[@Abadeez]

@@alkestos What I mean is 1k polling rate is 1,000 data transfers a second. We can't even register that in our brains or react to it. Going from 500 to 1k doesn't make a gigantic difference but you can see it, not that you can use it. You're human eyes can't even really discern the difference between 500 and 1k just barely, but from 1k to 4 or 8k yeah, you're not seeing or gonna be able to use it at all. 1k is already 1 or under 1ms response time, as in faster than most monitors latency wise and way more data transfer a second than a monitors capable of, as well as your human body. Your eyes might be able to barely tell the difference but it makes no change on the use of it, since your muscles can't adjust for that, nor your brain, nor your eyes register it fast enough to matter. Your aim or use of the mouse won't change from 1k to 8k polling rate is what I mean.

[@Shyvorix]

@@Abadeez Actually you can tell the difference between 500hz and 1000hz on 144/240hz and potentially even 1000 to 4000hz but you actually NEED a 240/360hz monitor for those to really tell any kind of difference, and even then... On my 240hz panel I can tell 500 vs 1000 very very easily, but 1000 to 4000 I can't really tell much of a difference. I know 500hz panels are becoming more common and eventually we'll hit 1000hz since that's the limit of what most humans can perceive so...I think ultimately we'll probably stay in these ranges for the perceived future. But yea ultimately this stuff won't really matter to a bronze player in any game in general.

[@madhalf7059]

Thank you for the review. Really appreciate technical insights and format of the videos that you have been putting out recently, albeit infrequently (more from you would be great :D). Regarding the mouse, price completely kills it for me, I could get a small upgrade for my PC instead. Used wired mice go for around 30 EUR in my country, don't think I need to shell out 100EUR for something that doesn't necessarily perform better.

[@hausgaming]

Thank you! I'd only get wireless if you want the convenience and are bothered by the cable. Otherwise, as you said, wired mice are cheaper and go for really cheap on the used market atm!

[@NippleSauce]

@@WorldKeepsSpinnin just to comment - no hate - but the Viper V2 Pro came with a universally acceptable wireless mouse dongle extension cable (around 4-5ft long) that has an attachable female USB port that can be connected. So, once I got that mouse and eventually switched back to my G Pro X Superlight, I started using that dongle extender and it has been freaking amazing and allows the GPX to do so much better in latency tests than it did when the dongle was a few feet away from the mouse. With the extender, the dongle is only like 2-3 inches away from the mouse =D.

[@hampustornros]

Shit on the pricing of their mice but their monitors are literally the best for competitive gaming, especially at the price point considering any monitor at a similar price will have a pretty significant amount of ghosting in comparison. To even get close you'd have to get an OLED monitor at 2x the price and it still has a little bit more ghosting than zowie's newest monitor. They're simply unbeatable in terms of visual clarity.

[@severouspearous2757]

zowie could have sold the external antenna + battery charger separately, even charging 50€, being something that should only be purchased once and should be compatible with all wireless mice, instead if we have to buy more mice it would be useless to have like this many bases

Good point! I'd guess most people will not really need it. I had perfectly fine performance with the standard dongle myself!

[@rarinth]

@@reflexx8332 You literally have the mentality of "if it has more weight and has the components that are old but still perfectly fine in 2023 = bad". The reason zowie is popular is because they care about the shape (designed by 1.6 legends who would absolutely destroy you in their prime), not because they use the newest components (eg. 3395, optical switches, etc) because they know newer components, rgb, and less weight doesn't make a shitty player climb to radiant/faceit level 10. If the component upgrade or following the trend actually matters, then they will go for it You act like using the newest components actually matters, but you're wrong. You're the one who is brainwashed by marketing

[@maskedkitsune9774]

@@reflexx8332 nah the EC2 is an iconic design that has nice natural fit to certain hands. For example mine are what are referred to as rugby player hands after playing for so long the hand naturally has a curve grown into it and arches out more from having to have your hands out wide for holding the ball. The ec2 and death adder are the only ones that fit.

[@Guinibee1]

Thanks Haus! As always your knowledge and thorough reviews are god tier! I probably will get this eventually since I'm a zowie fanboi, but I'll probably hold off for a while... Just to see user reactions.

[@SweSpy92]

The price is absolutely insane but the EC2 is my endgame mouse so I'll get one anyway will probably get the Xlite V3 as well, I don't need any other shapes this is perfect and I'm happy Zowie finally went wireless. The weight would've been perfect if it was 65-70g but it doesn't bother me, I've even used the DAV2 lately and I've never felt like the weight prevented me to perform well (and I'm not a CS player).

[@Mouthbreather777]

Dav3 or dav3? If you meant dav2 then you should really try out dav3

[@SweSpy92]

​@@Mouthbreather777 I meant the DAV2xHyperspeed to be exact. I did use the DAV3 for a month but I didn't like the shape so I returned it. It's too long, bulky and the right side is too flat for my liking. It also had a little bit of creaking and flexing where I rested my thumb. I like the old Deathadder Elite shape the most out of the Deathadders but the DAV2 is decent as well.

[@mohammadosman1474]

I remember in the EC2 wired reivew you said that the lines on the sides of the mouse bothered you a lil bit , but is it the same case with the wireless as well??

[@tinychamberz]

IDK wtf zowie is doing in Europe, but the gsr-se rouge is 60 Euros, the GSR is 50 etc...hello?

[@Sparxyx]

Great review. Would you recommend changing the click latency? Normal vs fast?

[@hausgaming]

fast always!

[@CR0WYT]

I actually like the heavier weight. I used to use a DAV3 and the light weight has definitely messed with my aiming as I would often over flick or I'd miss over the most minor of movements and I could never get used to it. When I went back to an EC1-C, I immediately noticed a huge difference in my aim despite the wire. Definitely considering the wireless version.

[@jheymann69]

The price for the tech they are offering in the mouse in unnacceptable in my eyes. Not only are they heavier than the competition, they aren't even offering the latest sensor or 4k polling. I get that the mice may test well but the pricing should reflect the tech inside the mouse and its weight imo. If these retailed at $120 I would be fine with them.

[@hausgaming]

Having the 3395 or 3370 in it will not change the amount of investment BenQ has made for the mouse barely at all. Like if ZOWIE had started developing the wireless platform for the 3395 and came out with it, the price would've been the exact same. What we most likely see in the price is ZOWIE tax, the dock/receiver and R&D investments (which are non-existant for the OEM solution mice with 3395 out atm). The 3395 doesn't also necessarily mean the mouse is 4K ready. None of the 3395 that are out at the moment support 4K just out of the box with the PCB design that they have!

[@rarinth]

newer components and lower weight doesn't make a shitty player climb to radiant or something like that, if it was necessary they will go for it

[@jheymann69]

I get what you mean haus and that is fair, whether it would have changed the price tag at all for them using a 3395 or a 3370 though, the average consumer not in the know is going to come to the same conclusion which is "the competition is using an objectively newer and better sensor (whether testing shows it or not) and they are lighter and they are charging less. Zowie tax be damned lol

[@hausgaming]

@@jheymann69 my point more so was that the sensor itself doesn't mean anything. The general consumer can think that and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but all in all, just by seeing a number in a sensor, you can't call the mouse objectively better in terms of tech 😊

[@thetrustysidekick3013]

Still gonna get it. I got the money and the shape is perfect for me, not to mention build quality.

[@NotSoCommonSense]

Been waiting for this. I honestly think the mouse should be 130 regardless of area. The weight I bet can be fixed with a battery swap. It's 1k so it wouldn't be an issue. They need to stop shipping mice with the black skates imo. I've always hated their stock black skates

[@hausgaming]

I like the black feet with faster pads tbh, but they should ship mice with the black feet preinstalled and have the separate feet be the white ones. I agree that 130 bucks would've been a nice price, considering the quality and feel these mice have. I feel that most enthusiasts do not really understand weight and especially when it's important for a mouse to be lightweight and when it's not, I'd bet most people have never held an EC-series mouse in their hands :D.

[@NotSoCommonSense]

@@hausgaming I think most people get over invested in things that are easy to see. Sensor, weight, etc. You're on of the few talking about the mcu used which is a really important and expensive component.

[@vvvvooooiiiidddd]

@@NotSoCommonSense It's the same MCU used on the MM731 and (very possibly) on the MM712 as well. The MM731 was going on sale for $48 a few weeks ago, and the MM712 goes for $70. I know there's a gap on build quality between CM and Zowie, but they're still definitely overcharging by quite a lot.

[@NotSoCommonSense]

@@vvvvooooiiiidddd oh no doubt. I'm not justifying this release at all. I'm just saying the sensor and the weight isn't really the end all be all. I think zowie honestly should have done more especially for as long as they waited. And the price is definitely expensive but the receiver/dock/overall wireless implementation I'm sure cost a lot more than the standard dongle. So it's not exactly 1 to 1 but 150 is steep like really steep. I would probably only do it for the s2 tbh because there isn't a good wireless s2 yet

[@vvvvooooiiiidddd]

@@NotSoCommonSense Oh yeah, definitely. I agree 100%

gwoles hts plus at 50gms is using 3370 sensor and is charging $120 on max gaming with out any "enhanced receiver" which I don't need as I am not a pro(ordered 2 days back). Similarly katana superlight at 60gm, 3370 at $90(currently maining). Even if they release a bundle without "enhanced receiver" at $120 as its 78gms, I ain't touching them with 10 feet pole this revision. I love ec shape so much and own ec1,ec2 and ec3 c-versions but I can't just ignore the weight now. If they just reduced the weight at 60gms, I would be happily paying them $300 for 3360 sensor too and it would be my main like ec1-c for a year main. But here we are......

[@DurNizzle]

Can't wait till they release these with the FK series

[@S1ege]

Give it a better sensor and make it slightly lighter and $150 is somewhat reasonable. But as it is now, literally no point in buying it when mice like the Glorious D- and DA v3 exist. Sucks since I love Zowie and used an EC2B for years

[@Infamous159]

if you have carpel tunnel or RSI or tendonitis, Zowie is a no brainer. My hands, tendons, wrists and joints thank me. I have tendonitis, carpel tunnel, and RSI for playing computer FPS games competitively for 25 years and being a software engineer.. No "new" hardware is worth the pain they give me. I will pay anything for Zowie to give me relief (BTW the Zowie EC2-CW is $120 now. Cheaper than a DAv3 Pro). I'm also very well off. Even $200 is nothing for me to rid me of pain when my job is to hold a mouse ALL day. And my entertainment comes form holding a mouse for the rest of the day im away from work. 4k polling vs 1k polling is completely negligible. I have all 3 mice, the EC3, EC2 (wireless for both) and the DAv3 Pro wireless. And I have all 3 injuries as well. Im ALWAYS on the computer holding a mouse for 16 hours a day. And I benched the DAv3 Pro as soon as I picked up the Zowie EC2-CW. DAV3 Pro feels like a cheap chinese made mouse (which it is) compared to the Zowie EC2-CW or EC3-CW. Let's not forget the EC2-CW/EC3-CW they offer 3 sizes for your hand, small medium and large for all players and computer workers AT NO EXTRA COST! DAv3 Pro cannot beat that. Razer's customer service is absolutely atrocious whereas you get a lifetime warranty from Zowie and GREAT customer service. Please do no hype up Razer anymore than they already are.... The DAv3 Pro I have also has a TERRIBLE scroll wheel. Not enough KZbinrs talk about that. It feels like a piece of flimsy plastic and is so light you can accidentally scroll when you just meant to left click. AND it's scroll wheel sensor is terrible. It scrolls up when you want to go down and vice versa, misses scroll "clicks" all the time, and causes me more pain than even holding it when I'm trying to scroll through a thousand lines of code in a file. Zowie has NEVER had that issue. Zowie is PURE bliss to my arm. Let's also not forget Zowie needs 0 software. AND your can customize you click latency, lift off height, dpi, and polling ON THE MOUSE! AGAIN NO SOFTWARE NEEDED! What other mouse lets you customize your click latency? And it comes with a wireless receiver that has a built in magnetic charger that hooks your mouse into it very nicely and very secure with zero cords. Pick it up and just GO. that is far superior to anything else on the market for wireless mice. It also comes with a wireless USB dongle receiver if you want to have that at work for something more inconspicuous (again it COMES with this. You don't need to buy some fancy crap). Zowie also does real sports science on their mice, with competitive pro gamers hooking sensors up to their hands to assist R&D science. Let me say it again, the EC2-CW is $120 now! With ALL of this. Just get it. SHAPE IS KING. Zowie is a complete package with no strings attached.

Wait, 190€ in EU? That price is straight up bonkers. I would've bought an FK2W for 130, even 140€... But 190 is just way, way too much. I got a Superlight at launch for 101€ in Italy, no way I'm paying double that for a wireless mouse, no matter how much I love Zowie products. It's the same price as their 144Hz which is the most competitive 144hz on the market in terms of performance.. A mouse can't cost the same as a monitor xD

[@joelconolly5574]

I don't know what "haus" means in your language but in my country it means thirsty and specifically in my culture (not necessarily country related) we use it to unofficially call someone to have a beer while rubbing our throat. Hauuss 🍻.

[@hausgaming]

😂😂

[@pirx9798]

Just get 2 Superlights for the price of it. Or about 3 RVU at this point.

[@eakmadashma]

ye the price is absolutely a joke, i have no idea how much the materials cost to make it but for what its providing compared to the competition its just not acceptable

[@ronald0122]

can you recommend me a alternative mouse if this is the perfect shape for me? i don't like the weight though.

[@pate00711]

u should give the xlite v3 medium a look

[@StaySic4Ever]

Cool to see but EU price is just insane indeed. Using S1-C and really don't even feel the cable. I wonder how much Vaxee one will be.

[@qwerty6789x]

whats with the huge receiver? are we still in 90s?

[@mikekonkola1231]

I would like to know your opinion on the mm712. I usually like using the viper mini and my m42 but lately I brought my mm710 out the closet and I really been liking the shape just hate the holes and the sensor position feels to low. On the mm712 it looks like these problems have been fixed. I would like your opinion on it.

[@MattySagz]

Have you tried the HSK Pro series yet? I've never tried anything like it, ever!

[@hausgaming]

Yeh, I've got it! Need some extended time to test it properly, maybe a quick video about it soon though!

[@MattySagz]

@@hausgaming Looking forward to that!!

[@yeysbaws]

Everyone thinks the same, the price is way to steep maybe because it's Zowie, but I think they are a little bit blind when it comes to recognizing competitors as well. LAMZU is coming out with their first ergo, and I'd rather get that than the EC2-CW. Hard pass. GJ joining the wireless gang tho. But nah.....

[@striker0102]

First time here in the channel, great review! I used to be a huge Zowie mouse fan, sick shapes and construction quality! But unfortunately, as usual is overpriced. I agree that you can find good options with way less investment. Also, you remind me very much of f0rest the CS legend! Anyway, I subscribed to the channel looking forward for more reviews!

[@davidflores3543]

cool, but wtf is that price?

[@C4rb0n6]

Are these numbers using the latest firmware(1.3.1) for the SL12?

[@randomlit4397]

It would nice if they could release it 5 years ago, but compared with DAV3, Lamzu Atlantis, or Pulsar, there's no reason to spend 150 on this trash.

[@nothingness863]

they could have competed with 150 eur GPW few years back. not anymore

[@ColByte]

Teflon mouse feet, over 70 grams weight, 3370 sensor, no optical switches and or optional driver software. $150 price tag!??

[@thebearded4427]

Im way to hyped over a EC2, but ill hold on to see if they release a lighter version and a sale. Cant argue paying almost 200 euros for a mouse thats.....well not worth it.

[@AmirChemE]

1. Top 5 wireless gaming mice 2022 when? 2. Are you looking forward to LGG LA-1 superlight mouse?

[@hausgaming]

1. VERY soon 2. yes!

[@simplyruben3184]

ive been wanting a Zowie Wireless for so long that I dropped Zowie and picked up Pulsar... considered going back upon seeing this, but at €189,99... jesus man, no. I can get a Pulsar for like €80 and i cant feel the latency anyway, thats way better.

[@jamesjin8839]

never imagined this day would come. I used to hear things like apple tax, microsoft tax, etc. Yet this day came and here is Zowie tax even. I guess maybe these companies just wants economic recession harder as they charge ridiculous prices and expect people to pay, where in fact most people can't jusify it at all. All the years it mainly taught me one thing: Less is really more. Give up more hobbies and more stuff like these in life. Actually really allow you to live happier with more peace.

[@gabrieltakei]

First time watching a video from this channel, but already from first sentence I can tell that this guy must be Finnish

[@hausgaming]

You are not wrong!

[@diegohormazabal2541]

just bought it today, people complaining about weigh are really maniacs, couldnt tell the diference between 60gr and 75gr lol, its the opposite of placebo, just mind things, they even feel the difference of sensor wtf hahs even a Razer from 2018 feels the same

[@batsusamayt]

Too heavy and those feets *ugh*... not gonna buy it even it's Zowie. I'll wait for the newest Pulsar this year. Thank you haus. I really waited for this review. 👌

[@xxmgkxx4498]

In UK it will cost 170 pounds so it is around 205 Dollars

[@threadripper3750]

nah zowie can say pmm charges 250 for a modded ec2 or ec3 with g305 internals and you get the real thing for 150-190.

[@t3ngristtt]

i wish they release fk3-c. a bit shorter version of fk2. does not matter wired-wireless i will buy it

[@pavelperina7629]

I just bought Xtrfy m42 today as replacement of 7 years old FK2 (cause mouse wheel issues) so youtube still recommends tons of videos about mice. With smaller hump it's basically smaller FK2 with holes and few improvements: buttons have "dips" so they are easier to control with fingers. Mouse is 5 or 6mm shorter. It's slides way better and it feels much lighter (being 59g vs 85g, FK2C is 70g). It has extra option to use 1200dpi if 1600 is too fast and 800 is too slow. But I have small hand and for me it's almost too small, there's barely any contant with my palm so i hold it almost exclusively by fingers. And I'm not a fan of holes, they are not that bad, but they are definitely not improvement - especially holes on sides. So compared to original FK2 it's more precise and better at everything, except size of FK2 is more comfortable (more contact with palm) and side holes. I considered FK2 flawless (except squishy wheel not registering very slow turn, which was super annoying when i needed one step per second)

[@paulmartinez34]

And s3-c too

[@phucnguyen0110]

Harpe Ace + Hone video soon my man? 👀👀

[@hausgaming]

I requested the Harpe! What's the Hone?

[@phucnguyen0110]

@@hausgaming Hone is the mousepad, sorry for the late reply

[@ayushbhaumik7980]

Can you test its DPI deviation at 400 DPI?

[@alkestos]

Nice to hear you stand up for the consumer by not using the mouse to protest the price. I’m not deluded enough to believe it makes the zowie CEO sweat bullets or worry about his future finances, but it’s still better than nothing and swallowing the shit that’s crammed down our throats.

[@eilon89]

excellent video as always!

[@hausgaming]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mattgrover3096]

I for one find the consensus of "well I would be ok with price of it had the newest sensor" stupid. I personally don't wanna pay 70 bucks for an upgrade in sensor that means nothing besides on paper. The higher price in these mice is the wireless antenna and tech... And as a person that still wires his mice due to issues with all wireless mice I've used...... I'm down for it I want be very clear. I'm ok with 150 in the US. I have no opinion about it's cost in Finland.

[@hausgaming]

Yes, the "price is ok if it had 3395" is not a very good consensus. Shows a lack of understanding in tech & R&D. Price difference between 3395 and 3370 is almost non-existent, the decision to go with 3370 wasn't made because it's a cheaper sensor!

[@KingJagguYT]

Hi, May I know the name of the mouse @2:13 orange one,,..thankyou.

Glorious!! Reviewing Zowie. Sorry just first image come to my mind.
