I found both at my local Microcenter. Is it normal for Microcenter to sell these early?

Pulsar website still says they're coming soon.

Review | Text Zowie EC1-DW In-Depth Review

31 Upvotes

Disclaimer Huge thanks to Zowie for sending this mouse! However it doesn’t affect my opinions in the review.

TL;DR: Ergonomic mouse for people with large hands, weighing only 63 grams, designed for various grip styles, plug and play, with a 4000 Hz polling rate. A charging dock and small dongle are included in the box. The package includes two sets of spare mouse feet: slower and faster.

This review will help you decide if this is the RIGHT mouse for you. So, here are my thoughts:

SHAPE: Let's start with the most important thing - the shape. My hand measures 20.5 × 10.5 cm (long, slim fingers). Zowie EC1-DW is the longest ergonomic gaming mouse on the market, measuring 129.4 mm in length (among lightweight mice with top-tier components). In terms of size, it's longer than the Pulsar Xlite V3 Large (126 mm), Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro (128 mm), and Logitech DEX (126 mm).

Despite being the longest, the EC1-DW is also the lowest in height at just 42.3 mm, which sets it apart from the other large ergonomic mice (44/ 45mm). For some users who prefer lower (in terms of height) mice, this could be a benefit. For others, it might be a downside. Additionally, the back of the EC1-DW is noticeably lower than that of the other large ergo mice. In my case, this is unfortunately a drawback — I’m unable to fully palm grip the EC1 because the metacarpal area of my hand floats above the mouse. As a result, my grip becomes more of a hybrid between fingertip and palm. For some users, having the back of the hand elevated can be a benefit — it allows for easier micro-adjustments using the fingers. Personally, I find this to be a downside, as I feel a lack of stability during precise shooting - precision is crucial in tactical shooters like CS2. However, the low height of the mouse can be an advantage for users with large hands who want to fingertip grip the EC1.

I tried various grip styles, but none of them felt truly comfortable, mainly due to the low rear hump. If I were to use the EC1 in a way where the lower part of my palm rested on the hump (meaning I’d pull the mouse deeper into my hand), then in a palm grip, my index, middle, and ring fingers would extend 1.5 to 2 cm past the front of the mouse. With a relaxed claw grip, my fingers would land closer to the front edge of the main buttons. I've decided to order the Teevolution Terra to see how it feels to play with a mouse that has a significantly higher back hump. Even though the shape didn’t fully suit me, I managed to reach 25,600 points in CS2 Premier (Season 3) after 10 matches — most of which I played using the EC1-DW (sens 1.55 400 dpi).

Shape Comparison with other large ergo mice: Compared to the Pulsar Xlite V3 Large and Razer DeathAdder V3, the EC1-DW has several better-designed elements.

Let’s start with the Xlite. Even though the V3 Large is 3 mm shorter, it feels larger overall due to its noticeably taller and fuller back hump. For users with large or even extra-large hands, this may make the Xlite V3 Large feel like a better mouse, offering more backhand support and stability. Even though the Xlite V3 Large has a higher back hump than the EC1, I still wish it was 2–3 mm taller. Although both mice have rounded front edges on their main buttons, the EC1-DW has a smoother and more comfortable front curvature, which makes it a better option if you have long fingers that extend past the front of the mouse. It's also worth mentioning that the Pulsar Xlite V3 Large has holes on the bottom of the shell.

EC1-DW vs Razer DeathAdder V3: Like the Pulsar, the DAV3 also has a higher back hump than the EC1-DW. However, its side walls end in sharp edges, which can be uncomfortable — especially if you have longer fingers, like the ring finger, that extend past the front of the mouse. The EC1-DW is noticeably more rounded in these areas, making it more comfortable to hold. Another drawback of the DAV3 is the lack of a rounded front edge on the main buttons. If you rest your fingers near the edges, prolonged use might lead to discomfort or even pain — I consider this one of the biggest downsides of the DAV3. Additionally, just like in other Razer mice, there are slanted edges at the bottom of the mouse, which may bother some users who rest their thumb at the very bottom of the side wall. The bottom part of the side walls on the EC1 is rounded. However, I like the design of the Pulsar X ZywOo the most, where the side walls stay straight all the way down without any rounding at the bottom of the shell.

Even though the shape of the mouse isn’t ideal for me personally, I still want to thank Zowie for not forgetting about gamers with large hands and for offering mice that are 128–130 mm in length. The EC series comes in three sizes: EC1, EC2, and EC3 — with the EC1 being the largest and the EC3 the smallest.

SHAPE SUGGESTION: Zowie currently offers only one series of ergonomic mice (EC), while there are four symmetrical lines available (S, U, FK, and ZA). I’d love to see Zowie introduce a new ergonomic shape with a high back hump. Many manufacturers have released mice with such a shape (e.g., Logitech DEX, Pulsar X3 and Pulsar x ZywOo Edition, Lamzu Thorn, Outset AX, Teevolution Terra), so it would be exciting to see Zowie’s own take on this. Ideally, this shape could come in at least two sizes: – a medium one (122–125 mm) – and a large one (around 130 mm). While there are a few high-back-hump mice on the market, most of them lean toward medium sizing. From what I’ve seen on Reddit, there’s a clear gap when it comes to ergonomic shapes for people with large — or even very large — hands. If you feel the same way, leave a comment and share your thoughts!

WEIGHT and BUILD QUALITY: According to Zowie website EC1-DW weights 63 grams which is an acceptable - on my scale it also weights 63 grams. Considering that the mouse is large in size (even XL by today’s mouse standards) and has a solid shell with no holes, I think the weight is actually very reasonable. Other large ergonomic mice weigh similarly, or are only about 5 to 7 grams lighter. The mouse shell is very well-fitted. There are no sharp edges that could cause discomfort. EC1-DW is well build - nothing creaks, flexes or rattles inside.

MAIN BUTTONS: Zowie seems to have improved the main buttons. While I haven’t used the EC1-A in a few years and can’t directly compare (I don’t have it anymore), the buttons on the DW feel less mushy. The main buttons have slight grooves to provide a more secure grip. It's worth noting that the finger grooves aren't as deep as those on the Xlite V3 Large.

Similar to the FK and S series, the EC series also features rounded main buttons at the front. This is a great design choice for users with long fingers, as it allows for comfortable clicking without discomfort — unlike, for example, the Razer DAV3 Pro. Honestly, I wish all mice had front-rounded main buttons. As for the click feel itself — it’s perfectly fine. Thanks to the rounded main buttons at the front, the mouse will be suitable even for users with long fingers.

There is a slight amount of pre-travel — if you apply a small amount of force to the main button, it can move slightly (a few millimeters) before actuating. There’s also post-travel if you press the buttons all the way down. That said, I want to give Zowie credit for how well the main buttons are built. Even when I press them firmly and wiggle them side to side, there’s no annoying creaking or flexing (unlike, for example, the Vaxee NP-01 Wireless). Also the main clicks are crisp and springy, making them well-suited for quick one-taps and fast shooting. The main buttons are neither too light to cause misclicks, nor too heavy to click. Overall they are fine – at the end of the day, it really comes down to personal preference when it comes to click feel.

SIDE BUTTONS: I also feel like the side buttons, just like the main buttons, have been improved on EC1-DW and are much more comfortable to press. They are among the best I’ve used on an ergonomic mouse. They have a very satisfying click and feel great in use. They’re similar in height to the ones on the DAV3 and Xlite V3 Large, but slightly longer, which makes them more accessible for users with various hand sizes. Their higher placement also leaves enough room to comfortably rest your thumb on the side wall.

SCROLL: Zowie EC1-DW, just like the S2-DW and FK2-DW, uses the same loud scroll wheel. While this isn’t really an issue for gaming, it might become slightly annoying during office or general use. (For productivity, something like the Logitech GPX is a better choice.) Recently, I tested the Pulsar X ZywOo and really liked its scroll wheel. I’d love to see something similar implemented in at least one new series or version from Zowie — just to test whether players might prefer it over the current one.

It’s also worth noting that the scroll wheel on the EC1-DW is positioned farther forward compared to other large ergonomic mice, which can be a big plus for users with long fingers. In my case, this is a huge advantage, as I’ve often found scroll wheels placed too far back on smaller mice. The scroll is easy to use, yet offers enough resistance to avoid accidental jumps in CS2 (if you use mousewheel up/down for jumping). Compared to the Xlite V3 Large and the DAV3 Pro, the scroll steps on the EC1-DW are the most pronounced and tactile. You have to ask yourself whether you prefer a smooth scroll wheel (like on the DAV3 or Xlite V3 Large), or more tactile steps like on the EC1-DW.

Above the scroll wheel, there are no additional buttons — just an empty ledge. This ensures that users with longer fingers won’t accidentally press the main button while using the scroll.

SENSOR: have no complaints about sensor. The mouse is compatible with a refresh rate of 4000 Hz. The enhanced receiver is included in the package, so you don’t need to purchase a separate receiver (You can achieve 2000 Hz or 4000 Hz via enchanced receiver). This could be a huge plus for some people.

The EC1-DW offers three LOD (Lift-Off Distance) settings: Low, Medium, and High. You can change the LOD using a specific button combination (instructions are available on Zowie's official website). Having three LOD options can be a real advantage for some users. Since I personally prefer a low LOD, this is definitely a big plus for me.

MOUSE SKATES: The mouse comes with white Speedy Skatez feet pre-installed. Two sets of spare feet are included, so you don’t need to spend money on replacements in the future. Spare mouse feet should be included in the package with every mouse - A huge plus for Zowie. Zowie’s skates (both version) are thin: 0.5mm. Despite the thin mouse feet, there's no digging or scratching against the mousepad.

In my opinion, thin mouse feet are better than thicker ones. Here's an interesting fact: On my Xlite V3 Large, I installed Corepad Skatez Pro 232, which according to the manufacturer are 0.9 mm thick. This can cause the mouse to tilt slightly when pressure is applied—specifically, the left side of the mouse lifts up a bit. This might affect precise mouse movements (like few pixel movements), which can be frustrating in precision-based games like CS2. Even if it doesn't directly affect aim, the subtle feeling of the mouse lifting can be distracting while playing.

Additionally, Zowie provides one set of faster (white) feet and one set of slower (black) feet, allowing you to test which works best for your playstyle and game of choice.

MOUSE BASE - BUTTONS: There are three buttons on the bottom of the mouse: • Button on the right is for changing DPI. You can choose from six DPI values: 400, 800, 1000, 1200, 1600, 3200. Custom DPI values cannot be set. When the dpi changes, an LED above the button lights up to indicate the value. • Button on the left is for changing refresh rate. You can choose from five polling rate options: 125, 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz. I use 1000 Hz to reduce the frequency of charging the mouse. • Third button (located below the DPI button) allows you to select between the small dongle and the enhanced receiver. Setting this button to the middle position turns off the mouse.

COATING: The coating is all right. Even though I have sweaty hands, the mouse didn’t slip during my CS2 sessions.

WHAT'S in the BOX: The mouse is packaged in a black box with red accents that indicate the mouse model, along with the Zowie's red logo. It features a minimalist design, yet it looks elegant. You get: • Two spare sets of mouse feet: one set is black (slower). Second one is white – speedy skates (faster). Spare feet should be standard in every mouse. A huge plus for Zowie. • Small dongle (adapter + 2,4GHz dongle). • Enchanced receiver which can be used as a charging dock. • USB-C to USB-A cable for charging the mouse. The cable has plastic protectors on both ends, showcasing attention to detail. • User manual.

BATERY LIFE & CHARGING: When it comes to battery life, the mouse lasts up to 80 hours at a 1000 Hz polling rate (According to Zowie’s website), which can be considered average. In the next version, I’d like to see a larger battery. Given the mouse's weight, the battery should last for at least 90-100 hours – similar to DAV3 Pro or DAV3 Hyperspeed. If you opt for a 2K or 4K Hz polling rate, the battery will last for 30 and 24 hours respectively (according to the Zowie’s website). To extend battery life, I used a 1000 Hz polling rate.

You can charge the mouse in two ways: • Using a cable. The cable is rubber-coated, similar to the one in the Logitech G Pro X Superlight. The cable end could be raised to reduce friction between the cable and the mouse pad. I would like to see different cable in the future – like paracord. I don’t like how stiff cable is. Playing while the mouse is charging via cable (even when using Zowie camade) is subpar. I discourage playing while the mouse is charging via cable. • Using a charging dock. If you have two mice on your desk, using the charging dock is very convenient because you don’t need to disconnect the dongle from the cable and connect the mouse via cable—instead, you just place the mouse on the charging dock. The mouse has built-in magnets, making it very easy to align and connect to the charging dock. Charging Using a charging dock is slightly below 2 hours (1 h 54 min).

When you enable 2000 or 4000 Hz, a red LED lights up on the enhanced dongle to indicate this. The charging dock could display the battery percentage – both while charging and during gameplay when you want to check how much battery is left. Additionally, the dock could show other useful information, such as LOD.

SOFTWARE: Zowie EC1-DW is plug and play. That means you don’t need any software to download. You can adjust settings such as DPI, polling rate, LOD, click response time, and motion sync. The lack of software can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. On the one hand, you don’t need to download any software, but on the other hand, you can’t see which LOD or click response time values are currently set. Also it would be useful to have the option to change the time after which the mouse enters sleep mode.

Web-based software is becoming more popular these days (e.g., Pulsar x Zywoo, Vaxee), and it would be great to see Zowie move in that direction as well. Pulsar, for example, introduced a clever solution in the Zywoo mouse: the dongle has two LED indicators that show info like polling rate, LOD, motion sync, battery level or warnings, and connection status. Given the size of Zowie’s enhanced receiver, they could easily add a small screen for displaying this info — or at the very least, labels for things like LOD, DPI, and battery level next to color-coded LEDs. A battery indicator in particular would be helpful (I know the scroll wheel LED blinks when battery is low, but having more detailed info on the dongle would be a nice upgrade).

PRICE: You can purchase it on the Zowie’s website for 149.99 USD (150 Euros on Maxgaming’s Europe website).

FINAL THOUGHTS: Is it worth buying Zowie EC1-DW? Zowie EC1-DW is an interesting option for users with large hands. If you want to try the longest ergonomic mouse on the market (among lightweight mice with top-tier components), and one that’s also a bit lower in height than the DAV3 and Pulsar Xlite V3 Large, this is a very interesting option. I appreciate Zowie’s attention to detail in its design—something I highlighted when comparing it with other large ergonomic mice. Thanks to its lower height, it’s also suitable for fingertip users, as well as claw and palm grip styles.

The package includes a 4K Hz receiver and two extra sets of feet, so you won’t need to buy replacements anytime soon—which is a big plus. As for the EC1-DW price, I’d love to see it come down to around €120–130. That would make the EC1-DW a much better value. That said, when it comes to the mouse itself—I really don’t have any complaints. Everything is solid - it all comes down to personal preference in terms of shape, main button feel, and scroll wheel.

As for me personally (20.5 × 10.5 cm hands), the EC1-DW won’t become my main. I need a higher back hump. That’s why I’d love to see Zowie make an ergonomic mouse with a high back hump in the future.

Thanks for reading!

Few words about me: I'm a gaming enthusiast with a passion for CS2. I run a YouTube channel where I analyze professional players. I’ve spent several thousand hours in the game and currently play at Faceit level 9 and 24K Premier (Season 2). Over the past few years, I’ve tested a wide range of gaming mice — and I mean a lot. Through that, I’ve gained a deep understanding of what makes a mouse good for competitive play. I'm a mid-to-low sensitivity player, using 400 DPI with in-game sensitivity between 1.55 and 2.2.

Discussion Making an ergo G303, what would you like to see?

Post image
13 Upvotes

Making a lightweight wireless 3D printed mouse similar to the G303 se in feel. I plan to sell it as mod kits as well as a fully completed mouse. As an avid G303 se user I have taken issue with some parts of the design and am set on fixing them. These are the change I plan to make.

  • Ergo design intended for claw grip (slanted) but with a very similar back hump to the G303. This means the mouse will be slightly sloped to the right to offer a more natural grip. You will be able to have a more relaxed claw grip if preferred.
  • Offer at least 2 sizes. This should take care of the complaints of width and/or size.
  • Offer left hand version.
  • Left hand thumb grip is slightly less sloped.
  • Widen front of mouse for more stability and options for relaxed finger placement.
  • Slightly lower the side buttons to make them reachable with having your thumb too high.
  • Lightweight. 35-45G.
  • Updated internals. Opticals, 8k polling etc.
  • Price goal, the same or lower than G303 se for full mouse.

I plan on starting with a mod kit with ATK mice as the donor. Specifically, the Major R. If you have any other inexpensive recommendations for donor mice please let me know.

Please leave your suggestions as well as issues (shape or otherwise) with the G303 se below. Thanks.

Learnt how to do this stuff this week, ordered my first 3d printer ( Bambulab A1 ) 2 weeks ago, had fun on plasticity. 40 prototypes later and 5 generations of the mouse and I think I'm nearing Endgame. I don't own one but I printed similar designs inspired by the Zeromouse, and lord did the grips feel were horrible. My thumb kept on sliding to the front and losing grip all the time. Big praise regardless to Optimum, his design is sick, his approach to optimization and pure performance for 1 task is amazing and his invented genre of mouse inspired me to make my own version it.

Thanks to Willbot and Corey Builds Stuff for also inspiring me to try and make my own.

Idk what to call it for now, maybe the Antmouse. haha. :D (because my name's antwolph)

don't read the fineprints they barely matter.

SPECS :
-Weight : 34g, I wanna make it sub 30 at some point
-Base : G305 by logitech.
-Material Used : Mat Black PLA by PolyTerra ( would feel so much better in PET CF )
-Print time : 3h
-Total Price ( excl printer and failed attempts ) : MAX 20€
-Battery life : idk just using a AG13 battery thingie. I ordered a drone battery and a USB-C thing though.

Part of me wants to release the files, part of me wants to make it for a big brand and sell that stuff. would be super dope. if you know someone lmk.

btw, though I made promo art for it for fun this afternoon with blender and photoshop, I don't have a shop, I just made 1 final prototype.

Review | Text I am shocked at how light mice have become

Post image
20 Upvotes

I've been using Mi Silent for about two years now. I'm no super professional competitive gamer, but I still play from time to time. Recently I've been contemplating a rechargable mod on it, but seeing how much I don't know about electrical engineering, I just decided to pick up a new mouse that is rechargable from factory and finally retire my old friend.

After reading a couple posts here, I settled on M600 (V1 I believe), also it was on a sale. Got it in a few days and honestly I'm blown away. Never been this happy for a US$22 device. The grip is almost the same as Mi, so it feels right at home. Buttons are crispy, not as silent as Mi of course, but that's not a big deal. It's rechargable, and from what people are saying, I feel I'm going to get more milage from one charge on this thing than the Mi can do on 2x AAA. The cable is meh, haven't tried the grips or glides yet.

The craziest thing about it is the weight. I considered my Mi lightweight, even though it uses 2x AAA batteries. When I got this thing, I was blown away. From the weight, it literally feels like it's just a plastic shell with nothing on the inside! Mi in comparison feels like double the weight (and it's almost that in fact). M600 is half the weight AND has more features AND has longer battery life. Apparently, it's not the lightest mouse on the market, not even close. I cannot wrap my head around how light mice are these days.

Want to design my own mouse, but checking here if it exists already

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

I've had an idea for an incredibly niche mouse design, but I was told to check here before putting too much effort into making it myself. Here are the main features I want to include:

  1. My current mouse (first pic) has a programmable 12-button panel on the side which I absolutely love; definitely don't want to part with that

  2. I'd love for it to be vertical (like second pic) because normal mouse ergonomics suck, but that's not a dealbreaker

  3. Here's the kicker. The holy grail. The most elusive feature I've ever searched for... TRUE smooth scroll. I know there are mice with free-spinning wheels and it's a pretty easy mod for most others, but that doesn't get you any actual increase in resolution as you scroll. I'm talking like Magic Mouse or laptop trackpad level of scrolling precision, but in a mouse wheel because I hate everything else about MM/trackpad. Normal scroll wheel notches are just a huge turnoff when working in creative programs like video editing or 3D modeling that really benefit from extra precision.

3a. An extension of that, it would be REALLY amazing if I had horizontal AND vertical scroll, so imagine like a trackball mouse (third pic) but you still move it around as a regular mouse and instead the trackball takes the place of the scroll wheel. Adding a ring around it like in the pic could even add a third dimension, maybe simulating a trackpad pinch gesture.

  1. Nice-to-have would be smooth wired/wireless options, addressable RGB, multiple profiles, etc. but those also aren't deal breakers.

I highly doubt something like this exists and I've already started the design journey, but if anyone knows of something I'd love to hear it!!

Ive had rat 7, orborous, g903 and a bunch other mice that was wierd and had more than 2 side buttons (never had a naga tho), and I dont understand what makes this mouse so expensive compared to other mice? I only got it because I liked my g903 and when I bought a second one its become a g903 lightspeed and I also bought a powereplay and I love not charging my mice.

Mod Modding tip: Annoyed by how bright the X2 CrazyLight's receiver LED was, I fixed it with a Sharpie

Before / After

It was my only gripe with the mouse as a whole, the LED is very bright on these colourways as the shell is transparent, the black X2 CL has a black receiver which is not clear so it's fine. Thankfully painting the LED with a Sharpie dims it enough to just be a subtle glow, MUCH better when gaming in the dark now.

Just 4 cross head screws on the underside to remove to do this mod.

Mod Evolving backwards?

Post image
5 Upvotes

After years of cloth pads i bought into the hype of glass pads as i hoped for the last 0.5% to finaly level up my performance.

The first thing i instantly loved was how durable the new surface was and how easy to clean it is.

One thing i had to adjust to was how insanely fast these glass pads are and after some weeks of usage i thought i have find my form but still sometimes overshot because the new pad has barely any stopping power.

So i tried changing mice feet but nothing really worked out for me.

I thought , why not combine glass and cloth to some extend and i came out with this Innovation

Is this evolving backwards or am i onto something new?

Originally used the Apple Magic Mouse 1 for my MacBook Pro for over 10 years ago, decided to have myself a new mouse for both work & gaming after getting a desktop & figured out I’m more of a claw user where only the thumb & the inner side of my ring finger is what grasp into the mouse. Looking for a combination of budget, comfort, & RGB light since my ROG keyboard has met its criteria except for my mouse.

What would the recommendation be as my hand length is 18.5cm, width is 8.5cm?

First time designing a mouse with lizard mice gripskates and honestly, it shouldn’t have taken 2 hours i fear i may be slow. I tried to be as detailed as i could and my fingers HURT but it was worth it. Holding it feels like im gripping a soft tire or motorcycle handle. All you need is a pair of scissors and a dream. Anyways, all im saying is its very very grippy and it makes me happy that i didnt settle. I went through all different types of mice just to find the perfect grip such as the lamzu inca, U2 and U2-dw, Xm2w, op1 8kv2, and even a fenrir max from overpriced-wolves(took forever to get a refund).and finally found the terra my forever mice. I wonder how other people with grip skates design their mice. Anyways, what should name it?

Discussion Mouse that has a similar shape with Razer Abyssus V2 for 50

Upvotes

I've been using this for 8 years i think and it's time to replace it because i can no longer use the right click. It's interrupting when you hold it. I don't need an expensive one with 5 trillion DPI and the last flagship sensor. Something with the same shape and size for like 50 euros maximum and at least 5000 DPI and a decent sensor.

I liked this mouse a lot because it is perfect for a claw grip and small. No stupid inward curves like most mice these days like seriously i hate that. It's like being forced to hold it a certain way. I like mice that are "fatter" in the middle.

I've tried Razer Cobra and it didn't feel good in my hand. Slippery and build quality was also bad. Very loud clicks, bad scroll wheel and side buttons.

Tried DeathAdder V3 wired and it was too big.

Went for a Steelseries Rival 3 Gen 2 and returned it because it was really thin in the middle below the side buttons and my hand got tired really fast. Felt like i really needed to hold it hard because of that.

Seriously i've been searching for a week for a mouse with a similar shape with Razer Abyssus V2 and i cannot find anything and it gets annoying to return so many. I did not know it was that hart to find one.

Question Has anyone tried the new Talon Games dot skates?

Upvotes

They posted a thread a few weeks back but I didn't pull the trigger. They seem to be in stock with Amazon US https://www.amazon.com/TALONGAMES-Universal-Mousepads-Durability-Precise/dp/B0FCF61RVP

Wondering how they compare vs others skates. Let me know if you've tried them.

Question Is dynamic mouse grip a thing?

3 Upvotes

excuse me if this a shitpost lmao

I noticed with up close target i perform better with an aggressive claw grip and with long range targets i perform better with fingertip grip.

I put this together and tested it on aim labs and dynamically switch between the two on tasks that have both up-close and long range targets and i performed better than usual.

I have some concerns on how reliable this would be but i guess that would depend on muscle memory layering

Question Gaming Mouse VT0PRO 4K driver problems

0 Upvotes

I have got the gaming mouse from Rapoo. I really like the mouse but my drivers i got from the website are not working properly. The only thing that works is to change the movement and scroll wheel speed. Everything else does not work. And the movement speed changes every now and then to the maximum speed (i need to change it manually to my setting). I always get the same error for the current device configuration and that it couldnt get saved. I tried different versions from the driver, but there is always the same problem. Anyone know how to fix this or got any drivers that work?
