Our Verdict
Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01S Wireless (4K)
BenQ ZOWIE EC2-DW
The BenQ ZOWIE EC2-DW and the Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01S Wireless (4K) are wireless gaming mice with right-handed shapes. The Vaxee's shape has a considerably lower profile than the ZOWIE, and its hump is flatter and further towards the rear. This gives it a smaller feel in-hand and allows for more flexibility for hybrid grip types. That said, the ZOWIE is significantly lighter than the Vaxee. The two have similar superb performance, but the Vaxee has marginally better click latency.
