ZOWIE U2 Review | Lightweight, Perfectly Priced, Competitive.

[@jakeufps]

PRICE: $129 USD SENSOR: 3395 WEIGHT: 60 g CLICKS: HUANO BLUE SHELL PINK DOTS (CLEAR SHELL) Pinning this here since not all specs were mentioned and easy to find in the video. Also wanted to mention that for a relaxed claw grip, due to the excessive side curvature, I don't find it comfortable with my 19x10 hands since the curvature starts pretty early on the front end. If you play relaxed claw and have hands about my size, I'd probably wait for the Large model.

[@something4114]

Hi, I have your grips style and hand size and was concerned about the restriction near the palm that you mention here. So thanks for that confirmation. Do you think you could point me in a different direction, if I'm looking for the sort of quality hardware and software implementation that zowie is known for?

[@funkaz]

do you know the specs of the scroll wheel? im planning on getting one and removing the thing that makes the bumps but idk if its one of those scroll wheels or not.

[@MekaniQ]

I didnt knew you got your hands on one as well 😭 This is amazing to hear, Zowie really nailed it and as much as pricing probably sucks for some (especially in the current generation of mouse where companies are putting toptier specs for cheap) The QC and quality of Zowie is enough of a convincing opinion to get one myself! Thank you for this review, and great job Zowie and the rest of the enthusiast community! 🙏❤

[@jakeufps]

It really is so awesome to see ZOWIE step up like this.

[@lnbabz]

Funny how you say the shape is restrictive when Zowie wanted to create a mouse for faster paced shooters (afaik)

[@jakeufps]

YEP, definitely don't agree with that statement, me and also other U2 owners I've talked to feel that the back is a bit restrictive.

[@michaelolsson4676]

Haus said that on relax claw grip, if you grip the mouse on the far right side it felt off due to the curvature, did you feel the same?

[@jakeufps]

I get what he means, and yeah, I'd say that I wouldn't recommend it for relaxed claw with hands that are larger than 18x10 unless you curl your ring and pinky a lot.

[@michaelolsson4676]

@@jakeufps i usually have 2 fingers at the very top right on the mouse, would that be uncomfortable?

[@heroVSzer0]

Back to Back Jakeu Uploads are crazy lol Also congrats on 3k, you def deserved it

[@jakeufps]

Thanks dude! I'm STOKED

[@colefemo]

As a fingertip player, I’ll wait for the small size to release. Super exciting to see Zowie do something new.

[@jakeufps]

Just remember that the dies are pretty darn curved! But yeah, super happy as well!

[@colefemo]

@@jakeufps I have an addiction 💀 I test every mouse and don’t even post my thoughts

[@a6m41]

Agreed im waiting on a fk3 shape with these specs, love flat shapes for ftip

[@yasinarslan208]

I just tried this mouse. I can say that the coating feeling is great, it gives a very good grip feeling. I have the Razer deathadder V3 Pro, but I don't like its coating quality, I have to constantly correct my grip grip again and again, it feels rough and the Razer seemed big and long. The length of U2 is quite good, my hand is 18.5x10.5cm. Zowie U2 fills my palm very well, my thumb position is perfect, but since the right side was too thin, I couldn't place my pinkie finger as I wanted. I hold relax claw or pincer claw. So which mouse do you think I would be more comfortable with? Would you recommend Vaxee, endgame or pulsar models?

[@DaveAlkema]

I'm definitely a finger-tip gripper. Maybe the U3 will release and be more comfortable for that style of grip. Either way, glad to see Zowie moving into the latest decade when it comes to specs!

[@jakeufps]

I personally don't think it'll be much better for ftip, but I'm very happy that they're once again doing several sizes.

[@DaveAlkema]

@@jakeufps You might be right. The OP1WE doesn't wo4k for me, and in a smaller size it might be pretty similar.

[@angeltear2145]

129$ and they still have those nylon feet and non separated switches? Why....

[@k1nzucs]

Would you recommend for CS2 18x9 hands pincer claw? Thanks

[@wflam672]

this seems very similar to np-01sw how is this zowie comparing with vaxee mouse？

[@sonnyyu386]

what are the downsides of wide hump? would it really restrict ur movement?

[@nuggydidge]

Now that you have the Sora V2, how does it compare purely in terms of shape? I have a similar hand size and grip style, with the exception being that it's not technically a claw grip, since I narrowly avoid contact with my palm most of the time. I'm intrigued particularly by Zowie's attempt to achieve more stability and balanced hand force exertion with the curvature.

[@nolimitsREAL]

38 mm height, pretty small for a hump. Suited for small hands probably. A ZA wireless would be great

[@actua7cs]

You don't need that background music while you're talking about and reviewing the mouse.

[@AuDiGo6]

Another small mouse, I'm bored. I think even the L version will be too small.

[@jakeufps]

For the first time I think so too, this medium is already too small for a comfortable relaxed claw with 19x10 hands

[@denismolander]

124mm is not that small

[@kkonutz]

Zowie, Lamzu, Pulsar, Logitech, Razer, EGG, Vaxee, G-wolves, Finalmouse,

[@angeldxst]

at this point? honestly just pick a shape that fits your hand the best and buy that mouse

[@jakeufps]

This ^

[@FizzlGrizzL]

Look at the fnatic lamzu thorn - got one recently and might be the best mouse ive ever owned

[@ffeeman]

Tier1 list Razer viper mini (cheap) Razer cobra (cheap) Razer deathadder v3 wired (cheap) Zowie ec2,ec3 wired (cheap) Zowie u2 These are good mice, they will last a long time, without double clicks and sensor breakdowns and disruptions

[@33Champi]

I need the u1 to come out 😭

[@r0id-CS2]

Bro , what’s that noise? Your chair ? 😅

[@Pyke0124]

Im def gonna buy this mouse. 3395, 60 grams, great shape and a dope AF charging dock

[@kevinisabadname444]

"perfectly priced" 💀just get a dav3 pro instead of this overpriced garbage

[@foturis35_18]

Threw away my dav3p and got a zowie. Best decision in my life

[@dmvbawse4265]

Still using the u2 love it. Switched from the super light 2

[@VeroWRLDx2]

Hello jake

[@iitsMikeB]

Welcome back Zowie.

[@HaloDaycare]

I think I told you but I love the way you say "the" because it sounds like "de." I talk and sing to my bunny saying "de" instead of "the." I love my bnnuy🐰🐇❤

💀stubby flex LMAO

[@Overlycomplicatedswede]

This has been my mouse for ages and it’s excellent for what I play CSGO Destiny 2 Ready or not Escape from tarkov All very competitive games and the mouse feels and works excellent

[@oakmen4604]

Thank you. The description "locked in" and "restrictive" really helped me understand this mouse is not for me. Same hand size, but I fingertip and claw depending on the scenario. Their website describes this as symmetrical, it's not. It's an ergo for claw. I'm 3d printing a few zowie test shells to see if any of them are right for me. Thanks again.

[@paul2609]

The Logitech USB dongle can look deceiving, it is actually large, the PCB runs through inside the metal housing, it's not just the tip. When you remove the metal housing of the Logitech dongle, you would be able to see the whole PCB which is just as big as Razer's, Pulsar's and many other 4K dongles. Also the Zowie's enhance receiver has been known to be unstable on the EC-CW, it caused one of Ropz's EC-CW to stopped tracking for a moment, and also experienced by other users as well on Reddit.

[@tinpot_numbee3910]

I love to describe Zowie as Sowie

[@StevenP015]

Stubby flex haha

[@shibakinu]

Which one do you prefer better and why? Zowie U2 or NP01 Wireless 4k?

[@Bimbii]

what is the dbounce time you are talking about?

[@leepinwei5194]

logitech gpw3 or zowie u2？ hands 19.5cm

[@a6m41]

Just waiting on the fk series to be renewed with these specs too and an fk3 smaller shape would be great personally for me

[@anglchnn]

what is this storage for usb a adapters on the left to lamzu adapter? thanks for review!

[@takh6806]

i wish it has ability to change Dpi by 50 or 100 steps

[@b4g4b3l]

how its this compared to OP1WE ?

[@realduox]

massively overpriced you mean.

[@Pyke0124]

You can adjust the clicks with a scewdriver right?

[@zhyarjawher]

Is this better than gpx 2?

[@jakeufps]

GPX has better click latency, but if you play an aggressive claw grip, I'd 100% pick the U2 over the GPX

[@zhyarjawher]

@@jakeufps thank you

[@pagongod]

Where do I buy the USB receiver on the top left?

[@vorabahs]

I think Helios 2 pro xd3v3 is very similar to this mouse

[@exigoful]

cant wait till i have my hands on it

[@trizzyqm]

Beautiful man doing beautiful reviews

[@3xplosiv0]

what's that dongle holder you've got? Is it 3d printed?

[@ApparentlyPeter]

yeah it is

[@daengan]

Subbed bro 🫶🏼

[@kibikibikom]

Which aftermarket skate do you prefer between corepad and tiger ice?

[@ApparentlyPeter]

xraypad jades, xraypad obsidian or ghostglides cyclone dots if you use a glass mousepad

[@a6m41]

id just go for whatever is most widely avaliable for you, most ppl in eu/uk just go with corepads since they sell them for almost every mouse so you have the consistency of using same brand of skates

[@DuyNguyen-vx7ot]

Do you think that a ZA11 user can fit this one?

[@33Champi]

It will feel way too small

[@yipeefps]

Great video jakeu

[@S0RR0WSPELL]

Amazing review. I subscribed

[@jakeufps]

[@Neuronecia]

honestly for 130 that's more than good LMAO. I expected these to be 150+

[@8020Alive]

A $50 clone coming from Zaopin soon

[@denismolander]

Front of the mouse look too high, don't like S2 because of it, and the V shape of the bottom of mouse is a mistake, how long manufactures gonna do that?

[@sNiPeR95PwnZ]

The maya sitting there and not comparing feels like a crime. You gonna drop a maya review ?

[@sNiPeR95PwnZ]

Mh.. how can you talk about QC with an cherry picked pre production unit.. weak

[@Tamizero]

Make it wired please, I WILL NEVER BUY wireless, make the Zowie U2 WIRED
