Our Verdict
Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro
BenQ ZOWIE EC2-DW
The Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro and the BenQ ZOWIE EC2-DW are wireless gaming mice with right-handed shapes. The Razer is slightly bigger than the medium EC2 variant of the BenQ ZOWIE, but the latter is also available in small and large sizes. The two deliver very similar raw performance, but the Razer has marginally better click latency while the ZOWIE has marginally better sensor latency. Otherwise, the Razer uses the Synapse software to change mouse settings, while the ZOWIE doesn't have any companion software, and all its settings can be changed using buttons on the mouse itself.
