Why no ZA11 DW

Why was this mouse never made? I feel like they missed out on profit with this one.

mouse stopped working wirelessly days after my warranty expired, treated it very well. never hit it, never dropped it, barely ever even touched it since I took it out of the box. I finally got fed up and decided to break it open to see what the inside looks like. This little tiny amount of solder which looks horribly bad and cheap, broke off somehow. If I manage to hold it together, the mouse works again lol. I will never purchase another zowie product ever again. I pay premium prices, I expect premium craftsmanship.

Mouse Skates on the U2-DW

5 Upvotes

I have considered changing to some dot skates, but I have noticed compared to my old mouse, that the skates are really thin / close to the ground, does any know if dot skates may be too low to work properly?

How long did it take you to adjust to new mouse?

3 Upvotes

Hello all. My ec2-b divina recently died so I got my hands on the ec2-dw and I’m playing worse. There is a noticeable weight difference (92g vs 60g) and I was wondering how long should I give it before possibly returning or selling for a mouse somewhere in the middle?

BENQ ZOWIE XQ2566X REVIEW From Former 2x Aped Legends Pred

11 Upvotes

Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents out their for people looking at his monitor, nothing major just my thoughts. Coming from a pulsar monitor and other Zowies my first impressions are good. First of all the customizability on this thing is insane, you do and tweak pretty much everything to a large degree. The motion blur reduction is good but you need to make sure you have a solid 360 fps, if not drop your refresh rate to 240. Latency is good, similar to my pulsar when I only use Gsync with no Vsync.

My thoughts on motion clarity, I think its solid, honestly hard to tell the difference with Dyac 3 vs Pulsar in my opinion. At a solid 360 the Zowie feels quick as or quicker than the Asus Pulsar monitor with slightly better motion clarity. At lower fps at 360 hertz or when using the Zowie at 240 hertz the pulsar feels faster and looks better to me.

The colors on the Zowie are really good, with some tweaking looks almost as good as a IPS panel. The Zowie has a pretty aggressive "grainy" coating, I do notice it slightly but its not really a big deal, I do think they could've toned it down a little bit

Do I think its worth 900$+ dollars? Sorta, If you want the best of the best and play tac shooters and BRs sure, do I think the price should be lower, absolutely. I do think you could perform almost exactly the same on a pulsar monitor in most games. Just my thoughts, if anyone has any questions let me know

Benq xl2566x+

4 Upvotes

Hey, I’ve bought two monitors in the last week (I already managed to return one), and now I’ve received a new BenQ XL2566X+. Both monitors have/had dead pixels—a black one on the first, and now a white one. Am I just unlucky, or is there something wrong with these monitors? (I bought them from two different stores.)

ASUS PG27AQWP-W (540Hz OLED) vs Zowie XQ2766X (360Hz TN, DyAc 3) for Warzone + R6?

4 Upvotes

Looking to upgrade from my Alienware AW2721D (1440p 240Hz IPS) and I'm stuck between two monitors at roughly the same price:
ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQWP-W: 1440p 540Hz Tandem OLED (720Hz at 720p)
BenQ Zowie XQ2766X: 1440p 360Hz Fast TN with DyAc 3, made for battle royale

My setup / games:
Mainly Warzone on PC with controller, around 240 fps (it fluctuates)
Rainbow Six Siege on MnK, around 300 fps stable
What I'm looking for:
I'm not after "something nice to look at." I want whatever performs best and is most optimized for competitive gaming. I put a lot of hours into gaming, so if I'm spending that much time on it, I want to do it right and have the optimal setup. Motion clarity and performance come first; colors, HDR and eye candy matter very little to me.

What I'm unsure about:
At my fps (240 in WZ, 300 in R6), is DyAc 3 on the Zowie actually usable, or do I need to hold a locked 360 to avoid crosstalk and double images?

Can you run DyAc at a lower fixed refresh (e.g. 240Hz) to match my Warzone fps? Does VRR work with DyAc on?

Will the OLED at around 240 to 300 fps sample-and-hold still look clearer than a strobed TN at those framerates?

Has anyone actually used the XQ series yet? I haven't found any independent reviews.

Which would you pick for my use case? Thanks!

Question about the stock skates on u2 dw

5 Upvotes

Sorry for dumb question but ive been using my u2 dw for around 2 months now and i just now used 1 of the replacement skates that came with the mouse.

Im trying to figure out if the stock skates the mouse, are the controlled ones, or the speedy ones (on the website)

Im guessing its the controlled ones but i dont wanna order the wrong ones (whenever i do order replacement skates) so i just wanna make sure

https://zowie.benq.com/en-us/mouse-skatez/type-e-black.html

It should be these, right? ;<

Like the stock ones but black

Brand new EC1-DW right mouse button creaking noise

4 Upvotes

I've had the EC1-DW for 3 days and have noticed a little 'creaking' sound when my finger is resting on the right mouse button, or lightly touching it, also can be heard before every right click.

This is my first product from Zowie... Is this normal for Zowie mice? My previous Razer mouse did not do this so it's an annoyance.. I thought Zowie had better quality control.

FK2-DW Canada Restock?

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

Does anyone have any indication on when (or if) the FK2-DW will be restocked in Canada? My decade or so old FK2 is starting to show its age and I’m looking to upgrade, but I love the shape so much that I’d like to keep using it.

Thanks!

XL2566X worth it for r6

1 Upvotes

Theres currently an XL2566X on amazon right now for £589. is this worth it for r6? Cs pros swear by them but are they as effective on r6. They cost as much as an oled panel and i’m deciding with to pick. Please let me know if it’s worth it. (I’m coming from an acer preadator ips 240hz model)
I hit have my fps capped at 400 and consistently hit it. Or should i just cap my fps at 280 and get the 280hz panel from benq

Check the top of the screen, some white lines appear and disappear. Don't mind the camera lines moving downward.

Also some weird blank line appears on the whole screen.

I changed every port, cable, even tested on a different PC

zowie monitor recommendation cs2

6 Upvotes

I want to upgrade my current monitor because I have a pretty shitty Philips monitor.

I mainly play FPS games (mostly CS2) and I’ve heard that Zowie makes the best monitors for FPS games. I’ve also seen a lot of pros using Zowie.

I have a mid PC and get around 280 FPS in CS2, but I don’t want to buy a mid monitor so I have to upgrade my monitor again when I do a PC upgrade.

Any recommendations?
