However many pros use them so its really famous, i use logitech the higher mouses are costly in logitech as well(deserved) but the mid range ones are really good for the price
Corsair is good too

I have this monitor . I got shadow trails behind moving cursor on desktop/while browsing and slightly noticable trails in csgo. Wouldn't recommend it.
?I have the monitor too, when you play games with less than 144 fps does the mouse feel laggy cuz for me it is and its unplayable
dyac monitors are very good
mice have the best shapes but other companies have copied those shapes and improved the rest of the mouse for less money
mousepads are alright. gsr is nice for a super slow pad and the gsr se is good but it losess its coating after 3 months then its shit and u need to buy a new one

im not defending zowie, just telling why they are more expensive
they have a very solid marketing team and very good quality control
i own ec2-a and za12 (both first benq editions)
both mice work flawlessly after years besides za12 having a scrollwheel bug out of the box lol

?lmao why did you even make this thread? seems like you're trying to create some argument over why zowie is bad lmao.
the reason why zowie mice are so popular is because they have very very good shapes. i have tried steelseries rival, steelseries sensei. absolutely garbage quality, rival was completely fucked after 2 months, the mouse button broke, the rubbery was falling apart. absolutely shit mouse buttons on both of them, they were heavy to click on. sensei was a shit mouse too with a bunch of problems with the sensor spassing out.
then i bought a zowie ec2-a, which i've used for 4 years. not a single problem, by far the best shape of a mouse i have ever used.
“DyAc” is a marketing name for elmb (backlight strobing), it is present in the same conditions in every other monitor with elmb, power of marketing
The mice aren't too special, but the shapes are great and there are usually shapes for everyone. I have a Zowie mouse and couldn't complain about it too much. The cable, scroll wheel and weigh aren't great compared to some of the newer mice and coating is kind of meh in my opinion, but the shape feels great in hand and that's what matter for me the most. As for the monitors and mousepads, I can't really tell about those since I don't own either of them.
TL:DR Zowie mice feel good, don't own any other Zowie products besides the mouse bungee.
Edit: I feel like most Zowie products are made to last. They usually last for quite many years without any problems and the build quality is just great overall. I had a Zowie FK2 before which I got from my brother and it was bought when it was released and it still works surprisingly well.

?I have 2 zowie monitors and zowie mouse for years and so far no issues with either of them.

Side buttons aren't the best but that's it, if you are looking to get a mouse look up reviews online and compare a lot of different brands before you buy one. Most important being the shape and build quality.
Zowie best brand wtf r u on ?

Thats is the reason yes but i havent used only zowie and thats my not biased opinion, as a hardcore fps player i have owned a lot of hardware from logitech to razer and compare to zowie anything else is less quality than zowie, only downside of Zowie monitors is that they arre TN panels and the colors might be worse for single player games monitors like LG

You can read on the internet bad things about absolutely everything. Only Thing i didnt ever seen bad comments about some quality issues is Sennheiser. Had problem with Zowie and its sensor though, like i had double clicks with Logitech G903. I bought other Logitech G903 which is improved Hero version and not Zowie.
Every company have problems is some batches, but Logitech Build Quality and Craftmanship is on another level.

Logitech is fine, if they really stop driving their hero sensor with undervoltage to extend battery life of their wireless mice. Which causes 50m omrons to double click. They fixed newer batches with gold plated 20m omrons, but it wont fix the issue permanently. Zowie had problems with their first PMW 3360 mice yeah. But main point is that steelseries and corsair mice is just a no no. I've used like 30 different mice in 2 years, and yeah i have a g pro wireless and a few different zowies. But best bet is to avoid steelseries mice really. Logitech just doesn't listen to community. Same goes also with zowie though..

30 mice in 2 years???? wtf is wrong with you man
The screen is dead good. I have been using mine for years now and I still think there is no better alternative, if you compare all the little details. The only downside is that colourwise it's far from perfect, but for gaming needs? This is pretty much a quintessence of perfection. Mouse is also very good, the only disadvantage for me is that there are no wireless options now and if there will be one day - what's the guarantee that the connection will be even close to Logitech? Everything else, like precision, comfort etc. - don't think anything gets even close, probably Logitech gets the closest. Mat? Fnck that, tried once in a shop, not impressed. QcK Heavy for the win. I hope I dokazal, but mne was vpadlu to get into detali, tovariscsch.

?Having a Zowie EC2-B (CS:GO Edition) since maybe mid-2019, no problems so far. Had Razer and Steelseries mouses, so far, I prefer the Zowie. Not sure about monitors and keyboards though.
?I love my Zowie FK-1. I'm so used to ambidextrous mice now lol. It's lasted me a little over 2 years now.
I'm tempted to buy a Zowie Camade because the $10 mouse bungee I bought off of Amazon a few years ago doesn't hold the non-braided mouse cable due to the cable being too slim.
Their monitors seem a bit overpriced, especially since most if not all of them don't even have G-Sync. My Acer XB241H is still good after 3 years, but does have a line of dead pixels slightly above the bottom left corner.
Their mousepads seem okay to every other mousepad brand. I'm still rocking my Steel Series QcK+, but it's a little over 3 years old and is getting dirty despite me having cleaned it a few times already. I'm open to mousepad suggestions of a similar dimension and thickness to the Steel Series QcK+.

?I dont even think its possible to be made a better mouse Pad than QcK lol. Maybe I'm just too used to it idk

The cheapest one is like $50 USD on Amazon and the other one is $120. Why are these so limited in quantity and expensive? I'd love to try this mousepad since it'd be something new for me.

True. But I'll be damned if I pay over $30 for a mousepad.

You can say their mouses maybe are overrated but their monitors nah. At least for competitive fps zowie monitors are the best. DyAc is an amazing feature.
If you have small hands try out Razer viper mini bro.
I got it 4 days ago the shape is perfect for me
?
?Zowie xl2411 very good for cs, if not the best 144hz. Not as colourful as some others tho so if you play single players theres better monitors.
As for the mouses you can say cords kinda sucks but no problem with bungee.
Quality wise they are god tier, almost unbreakable
Shapes are personal preference but still u cant go wrong with zowie
Still I sold my ec2 and bought wireless and havent regret.
?mouses - they have the best shapes. PERIOD. the vast majority of pros prefer them over lightweight
mices, for example, because they are robust asf which is very important when you spend a lot of time traveling to LANs (well not now, but you get the point)
monitors - depends on the user. if you only play, they are perhaps the best on the market, if you do other types of work in between there are clearly better options
mousepads - honestly people overrate too much about mousepads in general. more than choosing the X or Y brand choose the right surface/speed
Zowie's big innovation was their focus on different mouse sizes and shapes for different grip styles and hand sizes. I'd argue that everyone else has copied them by now, and they don't have that advantage anymore. So, not worth the price. Modern mice have better weight options, as well as wireless options.
As an owner and former user of the S1, I partially comply with the statement. Their mice feel sorta cheap, have way too much pre-travel for my liking, sensor isn't the best either, even my current driver, the Roccat Kone Aimo Remastered, has a better sensor and features at a lower price point. and software is sh*t. However, the segment where Zowie mice shine are the ergonomics. Like I mentioned previously, my current daily driver is he Kone Aimo Remastered from Roccat, and compared to my previous driver, the Zowie S1, it feels a lot heavier and bulkier. The S1, on the other end, was absolutely phenomenal when it comes to ergonomics. It fits my semi-lenient palm-claw hybrid grip perfectly and as far the ambidextrous ease, the side buttons are also appropriately placed so no issues there
mice - imo really good. looks common but reliable and comfortable
monitors - very good only for games/probably best for shooters, (colours pretty bad tho), so decent overall
mousepads - idk, never used
?I have ec2-b mouse for 2 years, despite curving cable and cheap feeling plastic it still works fine, is light and holdy nicely. For example left click on my old logitech g502 broke after half year, however i think my next mouse will be something else
monitors - asus > zowie
I have fk2 ec2-a and ec2 from zowie but dont use any of them. Glorious is better in every way
?
?
?Most pros use it because the shape is comfortable. No one cares about sensors because a good sensor is very common these days. Since their hands are going to be on the mouse for many many hours a day comfort is going to be a priority for them. Second reason is that no shitty software like synapse to deal with. You plug and play. That's it. Theres a reason why pros dont use razer other than the sponsored ones like taco. Synapse is shit. Even g gub is just meh. That being said there are other equally comfortable mice too other than zowie
