When you think of Zowie, what first pops into your head? Esports stuff, right? Monitors and mice, yeah? Well, ZOWIE just announced their new line of wireless mice designed specifically for esports players using the latest in sports science.
They're launching 3 wireless mice built for esports. This is why - ZOWIE noticed that players often go after performance and features, which may or may not be the most ergonomic thing, which in turn, could eventually result in muscle fatigue and injuries. The name of the game of the EC-CW series of mice is ergonomics.
The design and creation of the EC-CW series is based on in-depth sports science research that has led to the development the design. The went all high-tech to measure arm positions and strain and things like that.
So, let's take a look at what the actual EC-CW mice look like.

ARE THEY FOR YOU?
So if you're not an esports athlete, are these still for you? To be honest, I find investing in something that provides comfort to be quite worth it. It's the same reason why people get comfier chairs if they work long hours a day or comfier bed mattresses. Even if you're not an esports athlete, if you use a mouse a lot, you might want to think about getting something that offers ergonomic comfort. Who knows, it might even prevent some discomfort in the future.
