The button height is pretty high but its not something I hated really, comfort grooves on the main clicks feel nice. A smaller version would be interesting

zowie doing anything in their power just to not having to release the za13 wireless i respect it
Forreal. The za series was peak. I used my za12 for 5 years before I moved to a superlight and since then no mouse has lasted longer than a year
fwiw zowie said on twitter that they are working on their other shapes going wireless
Finally a top comment that’s not “I liked my own comment”
@@2141mariotf are you doing to your mouse I’ve had a super light for 3 years now
@@Idk-cz9ms just swapping them out for different mice
Preordered mine yesterday, pretty excited
You can tell from the marketing material that the gpx really pisses them off lol
LMAO I noticed the same
I kind of got the vibe from the trailer on KZhead but where are you seeing it exactly? Just curious
ive been autistically ranting about that for years and with Zowie confirming it i will spread my belief look at this visual representation/ propaganda i made x.com/knotenbauer/status/1746289904634441869?s=20
Yeah it’s kinda weird tbh, it’s their own fault that they’ve done nothing and let mouse tech pass them by. The gpx is superior to any mouse they’ve ever produced, and probably killing them in sales.
@@Username-2 logitech was late to every recent developments. They are simply the biggest name out there with places in every mayor store. Its effort to go around them and so anything half decent they make sells
I'm using an xm2we and this shape looks perfect for me. thanks for the review
Currently rocking the za-13c for Fortnite and I really like it. Just seen the u2 came back in stock on Amazon so just put in my order. Really excited to try wireless again along with the lighter weight and new shape. Thanks for the review
I will privately invest into zowie if it makes them hurry up and release za 13 wireless im gonna lose my sick aim year over year
Yeah bro I will lose my hardstuck streak
This might be my first zowie mouse, sounds perfect for my 19x12 alien hands.
me too bro :D
I hope they do a wireless S2. That’s my favorite Zowie shape.
I ordered one yesterday, coming in Friday. I can't wait to try it out -- currently on the first superlight, and I don't like how shallow the thumb groove is, so I think I might like this a lot better.
Coming from a EC2 that's what worried me with the superlight too. So I ordered a U2 now as well. Also that dock man! So nice.
Shocking review! I'm in the market for a new mouse. Watching the 2024 space. This came close yet might hold out a little and see what comes out as the year progresses.
Curious if youll be getting the new Lethal Gaming Neptune mousepad. Im guessing its similar to the Glorious Ice pad.
my favorite and most used mouse is the ZA13. Currently on GPX/DAV3. How does this compare to the ZA?
I loved the original G303 because of the grip the thumb and little finger could get. This is giving me that vibe. Never found another mouse yet that compares to that.
Yea ikr, I started maining the old g303 cause I got small but wide hands. Great shape, this really interests me but I’m indecisive
Heya Boardzy. I have larger hands and find the Hyper X Pulsefire Haste wireless the perfect size for my claw Grip. I like the way the Hyper X flares out in the back more than other mice. Should I wait for the slightly larger version of this? I've been using the R1 Pro Max from VXE as well and it's very nice but perhaps a SMIDGE small.
Na it doesnt matter
Dog cam + new Zowie mouse? Consider me shocked!! 🤯
This mouse but with the classic Logitech comfort grooves would be so goated. I really liked the finger support on the g5 once upon a time.
When I saw it for the first time I thought it was a Zowie AM Wireless. Only Zowie OG´s will know....
Finally, the SHOCKING video I was waiting for
Between this and the Waizowl Cloud, which mouse would you recommend for a left-hander with large hands?
Can you fit an obsidian/jade dot on the top part of the top skate? That wireless charging design is weird.
one could say this is rather astonishing
For the clicks if you look on the bottom you can tighten or loosen them with a screwdriver
Yo i had a question do you think 70% isopropyl alchohol prep pads are a good way to clean mouse without wearing out the coating so that the shine doesn’t come in?
i have had g pro superlight and hyperx pulsefire both with scroll wheel jumping issues. heard this is common among the mechanical scroll wheels do most zowie mice use an optical scroll encoder?
I wanted the classic wireless Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2, but then I saw the new Razer Viper V3 Pro release. But figured this one was the better choice for me. So I bought the Zowie U2 and its arriving hopefully tomorrow! Thx for the video!
Hows the u2 been so far? Kind of in the same boat as u. Love th gox shape more than the viper v3 pro (i have both). Is the u2 worth buying?
@@julienesilva9449 I'm happy with my u2. its actually awesome, its comfortable, it feels sturdy, the battery is very long and the charging is easy, the signal is strong. I've been laying in bed with the mouse, but I just need to turn the charging-station to the bed.
Boardzy haus showed in his vid for the clicks they are adjustable. Underneath the skates. There’s screws
Yeah I saw that. I don't plan to adjust mine but its cool
@@boardzy Boardy's Moustache vs Haus's Beard.
It isn't a feature. You're not meant to loosen the screws.
This man said screws are adjustable. Hilarious
Apparently you can switch to multiple devices for the first time on this U2 mouse. They do that on the EC2 and make it lighter then I’m buying it day 1. Loads switch between work laptop and gaming pc. There is a market for it.
you can do that with the EC2-CW, it comes with a USB dongle & enhanced receiver
The bottom reminds me of the Rival Optical. Wide in the rear and smaller in the front.
I really like your reviews. I hope this comment will reach you. I will consider to buy zowie u2 and my hand size is 10. 5cm. Can I use palm grip? On the other hand beast x and gpx2 and sora v2 my other thinking. Thanks in advance.
Would u make a top 5 claw grip mouse video?
Hope it will be available for purchase in EU soon
i have 19x11cm hands and have issues with the gpx but i find that one too narrow after playing for a while. you recommand any mice for relaxed claw? currenlty using the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro wireless
Lamzu Atlantis
Beyond Shocking! In the title means I need to pay attention and watch this video 😊
how is this in size compared to the zowie EC2-A? looking for a modern replacement. got logi superlight now, but the shape of that does not do it for me. got thin long fingers and use palm grip. thx for any help!
Still waiting for a official wireless ZA13, I had my za13 modded by Cryo, amazing stuff best alternative for now but. I would love to see the za series go officially wireless
Are Zowie mice comparable to EGG in terms of built quality? I'm new to mice.
W on new shape and #4/5 - L for antiquated scroll wheel and skates as always But i want one smh , dam mouse fiend👀
do you think an L version would be a fair replacement for ZA11?
the new mice from cherry/xtrfy lookin pretty good, 2024 gonna have you busy
They should bring back the black and yellow color scheme like the FK mice had it looked so good. Who here still have one of those??
The old zowie aesthetic and logo was so clean.
still have the OG FK1 on my desk, was my first serious FPS mouse, the old colour scheme and logo is always special to me
For someone who felt the rear hump of the Atlantis OG felt a bit too wide, would you recommend the U2 or the Atlantis mini? (19×11 cm, claw grip)
Probably the U2. If you want a much smaller mouse then the mini would be viable
When will Zowie release ZA13-CW???
Any idea when this is gonna be available?
Coming from someone who prefers Sensei shapes but has given up on finding them after I stopped being able to get the Dream Machine mice would I be better off with The Zowie U2, a Vaxee XE or a Lamzu Maya? Best shape I've found lately is the Haste 1 wired so Idk if that helps.
Waizowl Cloud
never unferstood why they add the dongle latchpoint where the skates are
Solid update over S1-C I use. Would like to see U1 wired for lower price too.
I talked to zowie about the wired version of the u series and they said they will focus on making a wireless version first
@@paulmartinez34 yeah they told me the same on their video I commented.
It may probably take a while
Early gang to have a look at this new shape
Yo wlmouse beast x mini released did you order it?
been some time i decided my next expensive mouse would be zowie, i had my sights for some time on EC3-CW, i always used as main deathadders and it seemed the ec3 was the perfect ergo size for me (i always bitched abit on deathadders that they were a tad larger for my hand... and the v2 mini was too small but now with the u2 i am starting to consider trying out again a non ergo mouse, my last try was ages ago with SS sensei and i even tho i was performing good with it there was a significant discomfort after long hours of mixed gaming and work. so i am having a hard time deciding ec3 vs u2, i don't care for the min maxing of the new sensor but purely on the size/shape and weight... the u2 has a weird shape and i would def wanna check it out but noone even sell the damn thing here and i have to order it from abroad, seems like a good way to waste 150€ if it dosnt work out :/
do you think that this is around the narrowness of the np01s and atlantis mini? for both shapes they felt too skinny for my hands
No the mouse definitely feels wider in hand
Zowie.. more like Wowzie!! (Shocking)
Can you try out the Attack Shark R1 mouse?
@boardzy which is the best side buttons mouse for fortnite??
how does it compare to the attack shark x3 ?
would u recommend ulx or beastx
Its preorder, right. how i order it and ship it to Indonesia?
When glaze mouse pad review ???
glass skates might be weird with that top one?
thank you for this review! I know I can trust your words when you make reviews because you are a former csgo pro player!
Do you know anything about the encoder? I spam clicking my scrollwheel and in my za13c, za12c, s2c just doesnt work the same after a while. i have basic problems with even scrolling. is it different one or the same? (if other one would make sense as they switched mouse switches and sensor)
!
what is that mousepad?
Wow I'm very shocked by this video!
are you coming up with a new mouse tierlist soon??
Yup only a handful of mice to cover until I will start working on a new list
For their flagship mouse, for $130 I would expect ptfe skates 😭
Which is better this or gpx 2?
Yo boardzy u should do a 3 year update on the hello kitty gaming mouse 😅
Gpx2 or u2?
Lgg saturn pro or artisan zero?
they should provide both matt black and the famous gloss pink in the stores , whats happening with their manufacturing unit , why are they shipping their mice with such sluggishness when the demand is so high and zowie is so respected ?
So is not for palm grip?
For me xrrfy mz1 is fit for my hand but i want another mouse have more faster switches please
Really want S2-C wireless 60g
boardzy can you review vxe r1 se
Can zowie make more colors of this? I hate this black coffin. Wheres divina glossy?
I'd love to see different colors but given how slow they move I doubt it
anyone know that the mouse at 0:51 on the right is?
Need a light EC2 with some updated internals and we golden
wowzers
What’s the orange Mouse
You think this is a good upgrade from my gpx? I claw grip with 18x10 hands
Its more of a sidegrade than an upgrade I would say. If you're intrigued by the shape/zowie experience go for it
@@boardzy I'm stuck between the u2 and Atlantis mini 4k
We need a S2 wireless lightweight
looks like a 4oz of actavis in the backgroud what is that bottle
Mine has the side pop, as well.
what is the name of the right side mouse at 0:53 ? anybody can help please?
Endgame gear xm2we
what mousepad?
Hyperx pulsfire haste mini wireless when?
LETS GO
za13 user still waiting :( may try this out tho i guess
Anyone having sensor issues on Zowie U2? My copy is losing tracking randomly.
Do you think the beast x mini is going to be worth it?
Gonna be getting it soon stay tuned. But yeah it seems like it should be a really good very small mouse
Finally gave that clown seal to something actually good. What a start for 2024!
imma wait for the wired version.
Would this mouse be ok for those of us who use more of a palm grip?
A conventional palm grip wont work, a relaxed claw will
Drop a video on best budget gaming mouse under $50
I did like a few weeks ago check my channel
that battery indicator is blinking lol, its crying for a charge cant you see it
Keychron M4 review coming?
Yes
I want dog on the table in every mouse review plizzzzz!!!!!
Boardzuperlightzy
Zowie is complete opposite of razer if you think about it No fancy new technology and flashy leds, just something that works And they do that really well
S2 appreciators rejoice. The Helios V2 Pro and Zowie U2 are two great mice released within a month of each other.
