So after a couple days of using the EC3-C, I find that it fits my hand better than my GPX. And the added weight helped bring some stability to my aim. So right now the EC3-C is my main mouse.
@A6M Definitely go for shape over weight etc. I had terribly shaky shake aim in FPS titles with 58 gram Razer, 63 gram GPX & when I switched to Zowie’s ergo EC line my aim improved dramatically. Also their mice typically weigh between 70-80 grams & that helps consistency with aiming imo.
It's weird how Zowie's standard feet are far from pure PTFE, but they're still good. On some pads they're surprisingly fast too, while on standard cloth they're as control as can get.
Better coating sounds promising. I'll wait for some more reviews what the general conclusion on the coating is, because the current lineup of Zowie mice is so gross coating-wise, it looks fugly as hell in like a day of use and is just ugh..
I have this mouse now and the G Pro Superlight. The coating, cable, new scroll wheel feeling, and even the feet are really good. I am now in a timeless debate of Ambi vs Ergo.
Wich grip are u using on both ? Got a model o wireless and use full palm grip with my wrist not landing on table and just got the vaxee np01s and use an agressive claw with my wrist landing on table , curious to know , both got nearly the same size, not so much difference with the shape
This mouse is straight up end game for me as a 400dpi fingertip desktop user, relaxed claw/hybrid palm gamer. They changed everything I disliked about the EC2 and simply made a god tier mouse from it. 70G is the perfect weight for a mouse, not too heavy, not too light. Would've prefered a 16 step scroll wheel but this one is nicer for everyday use/scrolling. Side buttons.. I didn't think I'd like any changes as the EC2 felt perfect (EC2-A was a little too mushy, EC2 improved but not quite there), but these are really nice and don't get accidentally pressed when grabbing the mouse after typing unlike the EC2's. I need to give the side buttons my Warframe test (M4 for melee) to really get a good feel for them, so far no issues with what angle they are pressed at to register or not. Clicks feel a bit crispier compared to the EC2 but I'll have to wait and see how they break in. I still really miss the EC2-A super crispy clicks but the EC3 definitely feels better than the EC2 so far. I slapped some hyper glides on this mouse and currently breaking it in, overall I've gotten that few extra % across the board so it was definitely a worthy successor to the legendary EC2 for me.
I immediately clicked with the comfort of the EC shape, but the size and slope would push against my palm and unsettle my grip. The Skoll Mini is awesome but kind of fatiguing from working to keep palm or fingers off the mousepad. In general the "mini" craze was awesome for simple variety, but my hand ratio meant they were too short while the regulars were too long. This might be what I've been needing. Fingers crossed for that glass slipper fit 👸
Just got mine 3 days ago. Used to mod the crap out of all my mice with new feet, BTL grips, and paracord thinking I’d make my perfect mouse. Once I got used to the shape on the EC3 I realized I’ve wasted 100’s of $ for nothing. EC3-C gang
The buttons do feel ass because of their design, but if you open it up you will see that they are designed for extreme durability. They don't have an extra pcb for the side buttons and stuff like that.
When i tried the outset ax, my right click made a clacking noise. Thought it was a quality issue but they said it was just a part of the way the buttons were designed. Really tall mouse too. Im so happy zowie is finally upgrading these mice! Truly the most tried and tested gaming mice. Driverless, reliable for esports and stuff
@@weatherman7 personally id go with an EC. i didnt like the outset mainly bc it was a taller mouse than the ec, which is relatively tall already, so i found my self bending my wrist back more and i found it uncomfortable
Will you ever consider doing mouse accel? Specifically raw accel since its the program with the least chance of triggering anti hack software like valorant
In my country this literally costs as much as a g pro superlight, so I got the superlighit already, but Im extremely curious about how the shape feels, specially because shape is king.
I actually really love the ec3 except for the fact that my middle finger rests on the base of the cable cause my fingers are so damn long. Surprisingly though my aim has been nuts with it so far. Can’t wait to get my hands on an ec2-c though.
Great mouse but a few issues I had: side buttons don’t actuate when pressed from certain angles, at the front tip of the button, which doesn’t happen often in game but can sometimes; also the LOD is higher than 1 dvd and you can’t get it lower. They should have used a 3370 or 3389 IMO.
@@boardzy the front of mouse 5, yeah, if you just press the tip of it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). It’s hard to do in game to be honest. I’ve seen a few other people have the problem too but it’s not much of an issue just something I noticed.
I am between the Hyperx haste and m800. What should I get? Also, if you could give me some other recommendations in the price range it would be much appreciated
If you put the mouse grips on the skoll mini is it pretty much identical to the ec3-c? If yes, is there a reason to buying it unless you prefer something heavier in weight?
Question: is the zowie bungee good? I saw ur tweet with the bent spring in the zowie camade 2. It's the only bungee other than Razer and Chinese knockoffs available in my country
have you seen the new pulsar wireless and pulsar super glide? I have used the normal pulsar and they made new copies. a bit heavier but better build. the shape was too big for my tiny teen hands
as a professional player with 22 years of gaming experience under my belt im done with mouse reviews till more wireless and non standard run of the mill ambi/gpro shapes and ergo ec2 shapes. See ya later this year boardzy when the new cm mice drop
So I got this and holy fuck it's good. I don't want to use anything else now. This ergo shape is really doing it for me. I'm looking for a copycat wireless version but I haven't seen anything that good. Maybe that pulsar one? Idk
Am I the only one that actually prefers the feel of a high quality cable to wireless? It feels like it offers just that extra touch of stopping power that wireless mice (especially light ones) don't seem to have
Can't go wired mouse again. Feel bad for Zowie to be so slow on the wireless approach. If we'll get a good ergo soon I hope it will be a Superlight G703.
just as a heads up to those who might live in the Philippines or somewhere in SEA, you can get a similar mouse called Rakk Kaptan. Real similar shape, cool cable, decent feet, above average clicks, and nice coating. About 70 grams too
Maybe Ill give it a try tho I am really hesitant to spend 70 on a wired mouse that doesnt even have software or an up to date sensor. Software isnt that big of a deal honestly, but if its 70$ it should atleast have features like an up to date sensor and legit software. You can get a burst pro for 45$ when on sale(frequently) and that has features ud think a 70$ mouse should have. I have shied away from ergo mice tho because the deathadder gave me horrible impressions of them, but the DA was huge I understand that and idk if I could go back to palm grip after seeing my gameplay improve since moving to fingertip and claw hybrid grip....
Actually a great mouse, but I kinda prefer the wired Prime more, also $10 cheaper. And maybe I'm that crazy weirdo who really likes Zowie's mushy, side buttons with pre and post-travel than anything else.
I'm still using my old ec2a..I had model o- back then to upgrade the ec2a but I sold it because sometimes I accidentally jump in csgo even when I'm not clicking anything. I bind jump on scrollwheel. Gonna try this ec3 or their za-c series...
Can u plz stop making reviews. U sold me the gpx xm1 and now this (no way this is getting added to the collection but very thorough review thx as always)
