BenQ ZOWIE ZA12-B Gaming Mouse for Esports (Medium, Symmetrical Design, Matte black edition

The best shaped mouse i've ever used. I can grip the mouse perfectly fine with 20cm x 10cm. I found that the standard claw grip didn't work for me. Instead of putting the back of my palm on the mouse mat, i would have my wrist on the pad with the weight more towards my thumb. Once i do that, the mouse is insanely good. The only con i have is the stock feet (Which can be easily replaced).Sadly I received a defective unit. the sensor would go crazy and my sensor would stop tracking properly and cause the dpi to slow down and speed up randomly. and when it happens, I would let go of the mouse and i'd see the cursor moving around a little bit, it's strange. thought it was my PC, but when I plug in any other mouse, it wouldn't happen.either way I still recommend this mouse to anyone. If you're lenient enough, this mouse will be good. boardzy can use the mouse with 20cm x 11cm hands, so you can too!

I can't help but feel like the designers of this mouse hadn't actually tried to use the mouse in palm grip, or otherwise that it was designed for very small hands. I have *very* average, unmanly, dare I say *normal* hands and it is not possible to palm grip this mouse at all. It's just not long enough.I naturally end up gripping this mouse in a modified claw, where middle, ring and pinky fingers grip the mouse completely from tip to knuckle and thumb and index fingers grip the mouse by the fingertip. The first three fingers (middle, ring and pinky) grip all the way to the front of the mouse, and still yet the back of the mouse would need to be almost an entire inch longer to touch my palm! I don't know how anyone could possible palm grip this mouse. When I try, it just squeezes it forward until I end up in that grip described above. It's not stable at all.It's not a terrible grip but it's not the one I wanted. The texture feels pretty cheap (standard for BenQ Zowie mice) and gets clammy very quickly. It's very plasticy, not rubberized at all. All BenQ Zowie mice are like that as far as I know. As for accuracy, I'm sure the sensor is top notch; no complaints there. The M4/M5 buttons are perfectly placed. Middle mouse button click is VERY sensitive; I frequently hit it on accident while scrolling quickly in games (eg looting in Apex Legends).Finding a palm grip mouse is a nightmare.

I initially decided to buy this mouse because i wanted a similar size as the razer mamba wireless i had before purchasing the logitech g pro. It's lighter than the razer mamba but still has a similar size that i like for my hand. I really love this mouse as it is really great for my hands (my hands are not massive or perhaps even above average but I have not measured my hand so you know.) but I'm a big fan of everything about it. I'm glad it doesn't have the need to use software to change dpi or lift off distance or cause my computer to boot up another program having to do with the mouse it just works. I've beaten my aim labs scores by so much my jaw dropped because of the comfort and I expected the logitech g pro to have done that for me but this mouse just suits my needs so much better which is insane to be saying but i guess when people say it really comes down to personal preference it really does matter. People have recommended the za13 so much more and I'm glad I went with this size anyway because it has a good balance of the size i want with being light enough to not slip out of my grip with lifting slowly. I would like to try other zowie products to see just how far down the rabbit hole i can go with different styles and mice but for now I am defenitely not looking for anything else. Thanks for coming to my ted talk...

The price is on the higher side for a having no RGB lighting and no software to control things like lift off distance, DPI, etc. The sensor is a bit outdated and this being the "B" version of the mouse it is on the heavier side. If you wanted to lighter version you need to get the "ZA13-C". The mouse wheel is 16-steps and extremely loud as you scroll. I can hear it over my headset as I listen to music and browsing the web. The only thing that I really love about this and the "C" model is the shape. The Razer Viper Mini is basically the same shape and size (just a hair smaller) and is lighter than both the "ZA13-B" and the "ZA13-C". If you are in the market for this mouse just because of the shape, do some research and I would recommend going with a different brand.

You probably used a Zowie before yes. You probably used a ZA13 before yes. Well this is a new better one. Bloody get it.I freakin love it
