Our Verdict

Dream Machines DM1 FPS

BenQ ZOWIE EC3-C

The BenQ ZOWIE EC3-C and the Dream Machines DM1 FPS are wired gaming mice with comparable performance. The BenQ is somewhat lighter and feels better built. It also has mouse feet that glide more smoothly, a more consistent sensor, and marginally lower click latency. On the other hand, the Dream Machines has a wider CPI range and lets you adjust the CPI by steps of 200, while the BenQ only has four default CPI presets. The Dream Machines also has customization software, which the BenQ lacks.
