Hit the like button if you play games
was gonna say...you have 9.5k subscribers but only 236 likes on your video. makes no sense. where is the kindness?
@@mustafasadmansakib I think that's normal KZhead, not everyone clicks like button
Just in case anyone needs to know. To turn on fast response clicks you have to unplug the mouse, hold mouse button 4 (the back side button) and plug it back in while holding that and then let go after you hear the sound of your mouse connecting to the computer. I couldn’t find this anywhere so hopefully this helps someone :)
It's written in the user manual. You shall see the color changing on the bottom light when you plug in the mouse with holding button 4
Does this work with Zowie EC2-B?
@@ThourCS2 I don’t believe so. I think it’s just for the c series.
May be speaking to the wrong crowd but, you can make the scroll wheel quieter by opening up the mouse (any zowie) and put a nice coating of grease (kyrtox 205g is what I used) on the springs for the mouse wheel. It cuts a lot of the high end noise. You can also can also Lube the steps where the ball bearing rides and it cuts almost all the noise, you lose a little bit of the tactility but it makes the scroll feel really smooth and I prefer it honestly. Hope someone finds this useful
I test other mice but I can't get over the intellimouse 1.1a & Zowie EC-Shape, I always go back to them. Guess the ec-series is really close to perfection.
This guy makes quality videos...deserves more subs and populairty ❤️
My hands are 19.5x10 and for the past 2 years I have been using Strix EVOLVE. Its a good gaming/general use mouse, but I found my hand felt a bit sore after an hour or so, even just for browsing and I use Palm / Claw grip. I got the EC3-C and the comfort level is great I love the (almost) perfect curve for my hand, but I also felt that it was slightly to small so I got the EC2-C and what a difference....you would think 4mm length difference is not much, but it does make a huge improvement in how your hand wraps around the mouse. EC2-C is the perfect mouse for me and after trying this Zowie EC2-C which is my first Zowie mouse, I don't know If I would be able to use anything else. btw. the scroll wheel its on the louder side, but nothing intrusive, even in my quiet office which were I use this mouse once you use it for a day, you don't know this difference from other mouses.
Nice Rev! Can you recommend a mousepad for the ec2 c? I play low sense and like the control feel of the zowie gsr
if i have dav3 prro and lg xlite should i give a try to the zowie ec2 as an ergo palm grip player or theres more better options than the ec2 wired ?
Haus is my favorite bread reviewer!!
Hope Zowie finally will go wireless in 2022
Right back at you brother!
@@hausgaming well they confirmed on reddit they were working on ec3 wireless just didn't feel confident in releasing yet
As someone who favors the Shape of the NP-01, needing the hump at the back touching my lower palm (ball of the hand) would you recommend checking out the S-Series or ZA-Series?
legendary mouse with a legendary man love you haus ♥️
Did you feel any difference in how stiff the mouse1 clicks were between ec2 and ec3? I have a ec2a and my complaint is that the clicks are too stiff, so I can't spam clicks as easily.
i had 2 glorious model d's and i hate the build quality ,for an ergonomic mouse ,on both mice i had quality issues so i thought i should just go ec2c ,but the shape is actually different and too small for me ,would the ec1c fit me then actually if i miss the height and length on the ec2c and i want something more like the model d ?
Glorious logo lookalike award!
when will the wireless ec2 come out? ive been waiting for it for so long
really, really underated
just ordered ec2-c after 8 years use of ec2-a!
please also test the gloss versions for feel, grip
Haus do you recommend more ec2 c or outset? i like the hump of logitech mice, i use the 703 and superlight, but personally i prefer ergo mouse, i wanted to try something similar to the 703 but with a slightly less aggressive hump. I've had an ec2, until I liked the shape, but the buttons and scroll are terrible in the previous version
Outset AX is amazing, so is the EC2.. Buttons do not feel the best on the EC, but they are functionally very good
If to compare it to Glorious D wireless I swapped them for week constantly. Zowie - good old "mushy yet controllable", Glorious D - fast/crisp actuation, but not so satisfying to control it. Both mice are okay, depends on what you need it for.
Yo dude, I had the Ec3-c but sent it back. Waiting for my EC2-C now. Im curious how the other Zowie mouse are , like the ZA and S series. Whats your fav model atm?
ZA13
i have small hands and the ec3-c was too small for me ( palm ). Played the regular ec2-b for 2 years, and prefer the ec2-c over the ec3-c even with tinnnny hands :D Happy XMAS all :)
Im a 22cm L x11cm W pincer claw grip. Would you recommend the EC1-C for this style? If not, what would you recommend. Currently using a GPX with BTL grips.
Outset AX or the Xtrfy M4 are the best pincer claw ergos around!
Honorable mentions NP-01, NP-01s, Kone Pro Air, xm1r. Coming from a guy with 20.7 x 11 hands I highly recommend NP-01s, but if that's too thin for your tastes get the non s version!
What mouse are you maining atm Haus? Just the G-Wolves Hati S Ace-. 48g. holy moly with gwolves grips this thing is amazing
Yeah it's awesome! I guess my main is the Symm 2 atm!
Best tech channel imo
Thank you uukek!!
My mouse of goddess =) Thank u Sir!
Thank you for the support my brother!
Ah well. Since my EC2A which have served me for some 4 years now, basically have begun phantomly double clicking, when I click once, I will now have to consider other options, as my warranty period clearly is over. This video helped me to decide to upgrade, although I feel sad to say goodbye to the mouse that brought me from lvl 3 on faceit to lvl 9. I'm mostly concerned with the weight, as this is what mostly is my preference, I for instance bought some XTRFY (something) and I just couldn't aim correctly without it looking half-jittery. It's hard to explain, I could flick correctly, I could follow walls, but it just felt too off and light. But the upgraded cord and design of the EC2-C makes me want to upgrade, but I will miss the EC2A.
My EC2-A broke this week. I'm sad it has been discontinued. Rip
@@punk979 I have the EC2 now, it works just the same. But yeah, gonna miss mine as well.
Yo Haus, thanks for the great video! I have a question for you and I'm super confused about it. For claw grip(kinda relaxed claw), 19cm * 10 cm hand, should I stick with the FK series(been currently using) or the EC series(very interested)? Would you give me some advice?
It really depends brother! Asymmetrical and symmetrical mice feel entirely different. I suggest trying an EC2-C if you are interested.
@@hausgaming Thanks brother. Will do that.
@@kaijing6300 Hey i have exactly the same hand dimensions as you! i had the ec2-a before but now ordered ec1-c. my old mouse is too small and has given me wrist pain i will report back on how the bigger mouse feels i would suggest going with the biggest zowie mouses. if this doesnt work i will try different zowie mouse just reply to this comment if you want a update :)
@@Elias-xu7uw id like to know what u feel about the ec1-c :D
@@GRiMS2K its pretty good my hands dont hurt anymore. its a bit harder to aim cuz its bigger and you need to get used to it but i do like it and think it was a good buy
last night i had some of the craziest dreams i've ever had in recent history and one of them involved me meeting haus and he was a 10/10 guy, idk if this is some insane form of subliminal social engineering but that was wild lmao
😂
I have the EC2-B, very happy with the mouse. I claw, but I am quite tall and have big hands, is a bigger mouse better for clawing or it is all personal preference? What is the difference between the EC1 and EC2?
EC1 is quite a bit bigger. It's all personal preference, I recommend EC1 only for massive hands!
Would you do a detailed shape comparison of the top ergo mice?
Good video idea!
i have the EC2-C and i love it. Do you guys also think that zowie gotta upgrade the sensor from 3360 to 33XX ???
Why? There's absolutely nothing wrong with 3360 lol.
can anyone tell me if the middle mouse button click actually clicks down and not just takes a light little tap? I use blender and need a middle mouse button that will do me good.
are you going to review that turbulence se puretrak pad?
No, it's the exact same as the PureTrak Phoenix SE. Review here: kzhead.info/sun/q9pqo9yesWWhpYk/bejne.html
Whats the difference between this mouse and the model D wireless?? Having trouble deciding between the 2
This one is smaller, EC2-C is a better shape imo!
what dpi/sens are you using in cs?
1600 dpi and 0.84 sens
csgo sens hertz and dpi?
I have the EC3-C and it's top quality as usual from Zowie.
Yeah, the EC3-C is one of the best built mice I have. Sadly EC2-C is not quite up to that standard :(
The old EC2-A was a bit small for my liking....on the newer EC2-C I see that the dimensions are a bit different. Is it longer/taller than EC2-A or not? Haven't seen anybody talking about that.
It's the same exact shape!
@@hausgaming Thank you!
Top tier Bread expert
😂😂
hey man should i get the ec2c or the regular ec2
EC2-C!
I just got my zowie ec2-c and it has the same "edges" on the shell that you can feel, i can also see tiny bit of play on the shell where the edges connect.
so would u recommend it?
@@sololakey1906 absolutely! in my opinion the small qc issue does not impact performance, it is very minor. Zowie will gladly get you a new one if it really buggs you. zowie have been known for small qc issues when releasing new lineups. I think the zowie ec2-c is the endgame for wired ergo mice. the shape and weight is in the sweetspot, and ofc the cable is fantastic.
@@SoulfyOfficial what's your hand size? im afraid it might be too big for me like the outset ax
@@sololakey1906 I have medium hand size, If the outset ax is too big for you then the ec2 will be about the same. the difference with outset ax and ec2 is the hump on the ax is quite aggressive meanwhile ec2-c is lower/tilted. i would recommend the ec3-c it is the smallest ergo size from zowie, or you could look into Glorious Model D MINUS wireless.
for 19cm x 9.5cm hands do you recommend this or the ec3-c?
This!
EC2c or outset? Ec2-c -better cable and prob. shape for me , outset -glossy(i prefer) and 2ms latency. I have ec2b csgo and like it, but wish it was lighter and has faster latency clicks.
From my experience, having owned both, I much prefer the EC2. While the build quality and performance of the Outset is great, the aggressiveness of the hump feels awkward after coming from the EC2. Keep in mind that your grip style can give different results. I tend to use a hybrid palm/claw grip with slight variations depending on how much movement or stability I need. With the EC2, my hand rests very naturally with the contours of the mouse. Yet, I can also use my fingertips for more precise adjustments without the hump of the mouse acting as a hindrance to the potential range of motion within the space between my palm and the mouse. In my case, the hump of the Outset tends to get in the way when I try to use my fingertips to microadjust. However, if your grip style is more centered around palm/wrist/arm movemens, then the Outset might work very well for you.
@@mothadtd27 thanks for this comment, i used to own the outset ax but was horrible with it because the hump prevented me from using my fingertips to microadjust, might have to give the ec2-c a go
2ms is also available in ec2-c bro.
Im here for shampoo reviews and this guy keeps posting mice reviews.
lmao
Any ergo claw n do u recommend ec2 c?
EC2-C is a good ergo claw option yes!
@@hausgaming thank you
come on wireless zowie... its 2022 soon
How does this compare to the ZA13.?
ergo vs ambi! ZA13 best
Great video again. Whats the weight on your scales?
Ohh shit, forgot to add the clip into the vid. 74 grams on my scale
Nice
Thanks brother!
love your vids man I wish they made this mouse with a 3370 instead for better input delay for taking walls in fn XD lol jk great vid man your a goat (:
Thanks brother! Review next week is going to be the best Zowie mouse for fn 😈
@@hausgaming HAHAHAHA THANKS FOR HEART AND FUNNY JOKE I ALMOST FELL FOR IT FOR A SEC XD
This or Xlite Wireless in your opinion?
Xlite Wireless is better value for money for sure!
$69.99 for a 3360 sensor and a slightly better cable than previous generation for me is a completely bullshit.. for the same price you can get an Vaxee outset ax with better sensor 3389, same shape and better paracord.. no excited at all
Not the same shape. Outset is higher profile and the rear on the mouse doesn't swoop down so it fills up your palm more and feels wider, only the sides are similar. The cable is way better on the EC2-C too but the clicks are better on the Outset AX, VAXEE mice have the best clicks on the market imo. And the sensors perform equally well in game.
i clicked this video so fast that i grew a legendary beard and blessed hair, now i hit headshots like finnish machine blessed by the gods
😂😂
Im so confused. ALL these models have similar names. So the EC2C is the same shape and size and the EC2?? It says here ec2 weights 90 grams and ec2c weights 73grams
Yes, the C-series ZOWIEs are upgraded. They weigh less and they have better cables.
handsome
how much does it weight?
74g
Always wanted to try this mouse but like you said there are a lot of wireless options already like the xlite haha
Best mouse until Zowie makes a wireless EC2. My copy is super solid too.
wireless ec2 is 180€ thats crazy -_-
Don't know why they cheaped out on the sensor sticking to 3360. 3370 is the exact same just 20x more power efficient (similar to Logitechs HERO sensor efficiency advancement)
Probably not much of a point considering it's not a wireless mouse I'm guessing. If it was a 3370 tho obviously it would be better
It doesn't really matter for wired, but if they had gone with 3370, it'd mean wireless would be close! 😈
You and Techne have the same title. Did Zowie ask you to do that?
If you think I would do that, go ahead and unsub my brother! I don't let anything or anyone affect my review or anything related to that
@@hausgaming Not upset by it. Was just wondering if it was a coincidence.
they pulled all of my hair, and said "put this in the title" wait I'm bald
@@TheTechne 😂😂
Logitech super light is the best mouse rn
I think i'll stick with the G703 over this mouse has better spammable clicks, side buttons and wireless with near same shape
Shape is actually not even close! But yeah the G703 is great
@@hausgaming would you say the shape is closer to a mamba elite?
i WILL NEVER EVER BUY LOGITECH AGAIN... i own both the logitech g pro and logitech pro x they started double clicking
nah
