Zowie EC2-CW — Professional Esports Gaming Mouse Review and Stats
About the Zowie EC2-CW
The Zowie EC2-CW is the wireless evolution of arguably the most influential ergonomic gaming mouse shape ever designed. The EC2's right-handed contour, originally inspired by the Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0, has been the template that dozens of competitors have attempted to clone since its debut. During the golden era of CS:GO from 2014 to 2019, Zowie EC mice dominated with nearly 45% of the professional scene using them. The CW variant cuts the cord while maintaining Zowie's signature plug-and-play philosophy with no software required. At 77 grams it's heavier than modern ultralight competitors, but many players prefer the stability and controlled feel that comes with the extra mass. If you've ever used any ergonomic gaming mouse, chances are its shape owes something to the EC2.
