BenQ Zowie Esports Wireless Gaming Mouse U2
BenQ ZOWIE e-Sports Gaming Mouse.
Zowie is said to have conducted research to develop the optimal gaming mouse for various hand sizes and grip styles. Since launching the EC series, we have been developing products that fit the tastes of gamers to enable them to achieve the best performance with sports equipment. This is to provide products with the perfect grip and comfort for users through feedback from players and data analysis.
So February 2024.
We have launched a new symmetrical gaming mouse series, U2. U2 has improved agility by adopting curved sides and an ergonomic design, and has improved reliability through improved receiver performance. In addition, we have created an easy-to-use environment through plug-and-play functions. Let’s take a look at the BenQ Zowie Gaming Mouse U2 and see what features it has that make it an optimized product for esports.
First of all, the BenQ Zowie eSports wireless gaming mouse U2 consists of a mouse, an integrated receiver with an improved charging dock, a USB receiver, a USB adapter, a Scatez, two types of USB cables, a user guide, and a warranty card.
The BenQ Zowie U2 wireless gaming mouse is said to be a symmetrical mouse designed for claw grip users who require intensive multi-directional, fast movement control. It is a design approach that is different from existing products that focus on stable horizontal movement control in games. The curved design on both sides and top allows flexible movement at various angles.
This design is said to provide a more comfortable and stable grip for the thumb and ring finger when holding or lifting the mouse. In particular, the curved design on the left side combines with the overall curve of the back to reduce the angle of the thumb. This not only supports faster clicking with the index finger, but also stabilizes the electromyography frequency of the thumb.
The curved design on the right helps you place your ring finger comfortably. This ergonomic design allows balanced strength from both sides of the hand, providing greater stability for mouse movements.
The BenQ Zowie U2 wireless gaming mouse comes with two types of receivers. The most basic USB receiver can be set up close to the mouse using the included USB cable and adapter.
By setting the receiver on the desk like this, you can stably transmit mouse signals to the desktop without interference from external signals. As the distance increases, confusion with other signals may occur and mouse control may not be smooth, so it is recommended to set it as close as possible.
The BenQ Zowie U2 wireless gaming mouse includes an improved receiver as standard to improve stability. The improved receiver helps ensure stable and optimal performance when playing games anywhere. Combined with an improved antenna on the front end of the mouse, this reduces unexpected interference and prevents performance glitches.
The improved receiver expands the reception range toward the mouse, improving the stability of wireless signals and minimizing frame drops and stuttering due to interference during games. Above all, it also has a charging dock function, so you can conveniently charge the mouse battery. When you are finished using it, just store it connected to the charging dock, and the charged battery can last for about 70 hours.
The BenQ Zowie U2 wireless gaming mouse does not require any additional software or drivers to be installed. This minimizes compatibility issues that may arise during games or usage environments, and allows you to control functions through the buttons located at the bottom of the mouse. When you lift the mouse, the button on the left is the polling rate control button, which can be changed from 125Hz to 500Hz to 1,000Hz. And on the right, there is a DPI adjustment button that can be changed from 400 dpi to 800, 1000, 1200, 1600, and 3200 dpi. In the case of DPI, it is displayed in color, so you can check the currently set DPI.
And below that there is a switch to change the mode. The left side is divided into when using the USB receiver, and the right side is divided into when using the improved charging dock receiver. You can also adjust the LOD (distance recognized by the mouse sensor from the ground) by combining the left and right click buttons with the left thumb button, and click response speed can be adjusted with the thumb button. However, when adjusting the LOD and click response speed, you must connect a USB cable with each button combination.
I played the game with the BenQ Zowie U2 wireless gaming mouse while connected to the USB receiver and the enhanced charging dock receiver, respectively. In the case of Pal World, which is being played in full swing these days, there is not as much switching to the mouse compared to FPS games, but various controls are required when catching pals or gathering. In particular, when holding a pal, the screen often switches quickly like in an FPS game, and I was able to play the game in a sufficiently stable situation even when connected to a USB receiver. I think this is because the USB receiver is set up on the desk close to the mouse, so there is less chance of interference from external signals.
For reference, the Zowie U2 mouse is equipped with the PAW3395 sensor. The PAW3395 sensor is a proven sensor for gaming and is always included in mouse products for the best gaming performance with fast and precise control.
Even when connected to the improved receiver, stable signal transmission enabled smooth game play. Since the reception range expands in the direction of the mouse, it seems to be able to provide more stable signal safety than when using a USB receiver. In particular, I think there will be a more noticeable difference if the distance between the receiver and the mouse increases. Above all, the improved receiver also has a dock function that can charge the BenQ Zowie U2 wireless gaming mouse, so using this receiver will provide a much more convenient user experience.
Of course, I also played Overwatch 2, one of the FPS games. In the case of FPS games, mouse sensitivity settings may be sensitive depending on the user, but it was nice to be able to quickly and conveniently adjust DPI and polling rate using the buttons on the bottom of the mouse. In my case, I prefer a slightly heavy feel, so I lower the value and use the mouse as if it were hitting the air. It was nice to be able to change it at any time without using a separate program.
This is how we looked at the BenQ Zowie U2 wireless gaming mouse. As explained at the beginning, the Zowie U2 is a symmetrical mouse that is especially suitable for claw grip users. I also use a variety of grips, but I mainly use the claw grip when playing games or searching for something quickly. Using a claw grip can be convenient because it makes it easier to operate the mouse wheel and allows free hand movement, but it also causes high wrist fatigue because you use your wrist a lot. So, when I use a mouse whose design is not suitable for a craw grip, I often loosen my fingers and wrist.
I’ve been using the BenQ Zowie U2 wireless gaming mouse for about a week. I mainly played games such as Pal World and Overwatch 2 with the claw grip, and I didn’t feel like it was putting too much strain on my wrists. It would make no sense to say that there is absolutely no pain, but it would be correct to say that it was more comfortable to use than when using a mouse designed with a high middle section. The existing product has a design that is more suitable for a palm grip, so when used with a claw grip, the height was higher and the angle at which the wrist was bent increased, which caused significant fatigue. After using the Zowie U2, I could feel that there was less strain on my wrist than before.
In the case of a mouse, you can think of it as a tool that simply moves the cursor, clicks, and executes something. However, if you use various products, you will realize how important the design and weight of the mouse are. That’s why lightweight products are popular these days. The BenQ Zowie U2 wireless gaming mouse may not be the lightest, but it is light enough at 60g. The length is quite long at 124mm, but the overall height is low, so the mouse does not feel large. Perhaps because it is a design established through various tests, the fact that you do not feel any discomfort while using it with a claw grip seems to increase your satisfaction.
Anyway, I think the advantage of the BenQ Zowie U2 wireless gaming mouse is that it minimizes the inconvenience caused by disconnection through a receiver equipped with its own charging dock function. Normally, charging docks are sold separately. Although the price of the Zowie U2 itself is not cheap, the fact that it comes with various components seems to provide some reasonable satisfaction. It is equipped with the latest PAW3395 sensor, enabling smooth yet precise tracking, so I think it is a product that not only has good design but also functions as a gaming mouse.
