Roccat Lua

Top Pro

Comfortable to use

Top Con

Lacks sidebuttons

Since it’s in the style of a classic three-button mouse, the lack of side buttons limits customization options. See More

Top Pro

Well suited for fingertip and claw grips

Unless you have small hands, this is a mouse that is meant for people who use either the claw or fingertip grip. In addition to being a small mouse and having low height, it's also extremely light, weighing only 68 grams. This makes it easy to control with a fingertip and claw grip as it relies on the mouse being as agile as it can be. See More

Top Con

Small size takes some getting used to

The Roccat Lua is a small mouse, measuring only 11.5 cm in length and 3 cm in height. The width is pretty standard with 6.5 cm at the back and narrows down towards the front. The small size might raise some concern about the grip. If it’s your first mouse of this size you might need to adjust your grip to accommodate for the smaller scale of the mouse. Commonly the grips change and include some elements of a fingertip grip. See More

Top Pro

Well built

Even though it’s a budget mouse, it has high quality components to ensure that the mouse can last for years. There are no unnecessary moving parts while button clicks are clear and don’t give out after heavy use. The body of the mouse consists of rubberized coating at the top and textured plastic on the sides which gives it a quality feel. See More

Top Con

Top DPI value may feel insufficient for some gamers

The DPI amount caps at 2000, which might not be enough for some. See More

Top Pro

Good amount of customization provided by the accompanying software

The software is very simple and easy to use. It lets you change the DPI steps, double click speed, vertical scroll speed, polling rate, very basic lighting control and the choice of hand-mode. In addition, it has the option to reassign its buttons, but since the Lua has only four buttons it’s practically useless as the main three are almost always invariable. See More

Top Con

Can suffer from small amounts of jitter on high DPI values

This mouse's DPI setting can be set from 250 to 2000, in increments of 250. At DPI settings higher than 1250, it can generate small amounts of jitter. The mouse works the best at 500 DPI with a 1000Hz polling rate. See More

Top Pro

Excellent budget sensor

The Avago A3050 optical sensor that the Lua uses has small, unnoticeable prediction and doesn’t carry over perfect tracking at high speeds (depending on the chosen DPI setting, over 60-120 inches per second or 1.5 m/s-3 m/s). But unless you use it at extremely low sensitivity, it shouldn’t be a problem. When reaching such speeds, some negative acceleration may be noticed. See More

Top Con

Rubber cord is prone to breaking

It has a rubber type cable which means there’s less resistance and drag against the desk but at the same time can be more prone to damage when bent. See More

Top Pro

Full Linux support

Roccat has good Linux drivers. See More

Top Con

Light weight takes some getting used to

At 68 grams, it's about 30% lighter than most mice. Switching from an average mouse might take some getting used to and feel like the Lua is a bit floatey. See More

Top Pro

Can be used by both righties and lefties

Uses an ambidextrous design that actually feels as if it is and ergonomic design no matter what hand is using it. See More

Top Con

Uses an outdated sensor

The Lua’s optical sensor might be a bit dated, since it was released five years ago. Still, it mostly only shows weakness when it is facing really fast mouse movements. And as long as you are aware of it, this shortcoming can be entirely avoided. See More

Zowie EC1-A

Top Pro

Sensor and DPI options ensure fluid and optimal gaming performance

Top Con

Customization options are limited due to the lack of companion software

There is no companion software to this mouse, which means you cannot do thorough customizations, such as button remapping or custom lighting. See More

Top Pro

Ergonomic, accommodating shape, especially for those with big hands

Though it may look tame, the mouse’s shape is quite ergonomic. Its subtle curves help your fingers position themselves while also allowing various grip types. For the same reason, the bulge of the mouse is located strictly in the middle, making it accommodating for the most amount of people, and even more for gamers that have big hands. Nevertheless, it may be more suited for palm grips because of the subtle curve at the right side which provides support for the ring and pinky fingers. See More

Top Con

DPI colors annoying and can't be customized

The scroll wheel has an LED that changes color depending on your DPI setting, but the corresponding color cannot be customized. See More

Top Con

The customization process is inconvenient

All Zowie mice are built to be straightforward and simple to use. However, its settings cannot be changed easily during normal use: you have to unplug the mouse and use a combination of different button presses while plugging the mouse in, which is unintuitive and a hassle to learn. See More

Excellent 3200 CPI optical sensor

The Zowie FK1 gaming mouse uses an Avago 3310 optical sensor which is regarded as one of the best in the world. It has no built-in acceleration and no angle snapping. It’s practically jitter-less when set at 125 and 500Hz polling rate, and has barely noticeable jitter at 1000Hz. The Avago 3310 has no native CPI, it is made to have each step of 50 CPI work as well as the previous one. With CPI steps of 400/800/1600/3200 for the FK1, all CPI choices should work equally well.

The left and right mouse buttons have small grooves to help fingers rest in place. The left side lets the thumb grip the mouse comfortably. The side buttons are in an easily accessible, yet unobtrusive position. The coating is slightly textured to help you control the mouse confidently. EC2-A weighs just 94 grams, making it light enough for quick mouse movements and won't cause fatigue after extended use. At the same time, the mouse feels solidly built. Its elegant, ergonomic design is suitable for most hand sizes regardless of the way you hold it. It's worth noting that Zowie offers the EC1-A version for larger hands. See More

Zowie EC2-A

Top Pro

Gets all the little nuances that make a mouse comfortable to use just right

Top Con

Limited customizability

None of the buttons can be rebound, there are no macros, profiles, or customizable weights. And while the Zowie EC2-A allows you to customize the most important performance settings - CPI, lift-off distance, and USB polling rate - their customization is limited to preset intervals. See More

Top Pro

Well built

The Zowie EC2-A is made of high quality plastic that's lightly coated to help with grip. The buttons click easily and the rubber cable is thin and flexible. All of this combined gives a feeling of quality, while also being functional as a high-end mouse. See More

Top Con

DPI colors annoying and can't be customized

The scroll wheel has an LED that changes color depending on your DPI setting, but the corresponding color cannot be customized. See More

Top Pro

Excellent accuracy

The Zowie EC2-A delivers accurate mouse cursor movement that is essential to any gaming mouse. The Avago 3310 sensor used by this mouse is exceptional. It delivers a true portrayal of mouse movement with no jitter, acceleration or prediction. The available DPI choices of 400/800/1600/3200 are all native and should ensure an equally good performance, regardless of which one is chosen. See More

Top Con

You have to learn button combinations to change settings

The Zowie EC2-A has no accompanying software. Settings have to be changed through various button combinations. As a result the initial setup can be a bit of a hassle. See More

Top Pro

Button switches click easily

Although the buttons have Huano switches, which are more stiff, the shell of the mouse somehow negates this and makes them click easily, just like typical Omron switches. See More

Top Con

Extra travel on side buttons

Side buttons have a bit of pre-travel. You have to press in about 1mm more than usual for the mouse to register the side button clicks. Some may find this annoying, but it helps avoid accidentally clicking side buttons in-game. See More

Top Pro

No extra cruft

There's no advanced functionality or accompanying software. There are just 5 buttons and the only settings you can adjust are CPI, polling rate and lift-off distance. And only in preset intervals via specific mouse button combinations. It's a mouse that focuses on the essential factors only - comfort, performance and build quality - all of which it excels at. It doesn't get distracted with anything else. If you think all the bells and whistles that come with gaming mice are unnecessary, this just might be what you're looking for. See More

Top Con

DPI switch can't be accessed during use

The DPI switch is a button that can’t be accessed while in use because it's located under the mouse. See More

Mionix Naos 7000

Top Pro

Exceptionally comfortable for palm grips

The Mionix Naos 7000 gaming mouse was designed for a full five-fingered palm grip. It has concaved left and right buttons to help fingers stay in place, textured sides to help with grip, and supports for the thumb, ring, and pinky fingers. Larger than a typical gaming mouse, its ergonomic shape is very comfortable for long gaming sessions. See More

Top Con

Software is Windows-only

The software does not support Linux or macOS operating systems, meaning the mouse can't be configured under them. However, if you have access to a Windows PC, you can configure the mouse on that device. And because the configuration and profiles will be saved on the device itself, you can use them on Linux and macOS. See More

Top Pro

Accompanying software provides a good amount of customization options

The accompanying software allows you to rebind keys, change the polling rate, double click speed, scrolling speed, acceleration, lift-off distance, set up profiles, macros and lights, or separately adjust X and Y axis sensitivity. See More

Top Con

Slightly less comfortable for claw and fingertip grips

Unfortunately, as it's more comfortable for palm grips, this has meant that users with claw and fingertip grips will find the mouse awkward to use. See More

Top Pro

Great gaming mouse sensor

Top Con

Mushy scroll wheel

Top Pro

Very good build quality

The nestled thumb rest on the left and finger cut outs on the right reduce wear and tear due to unnecessary hand movement. The matte rubberized finish to the mouse also aids in hiding cosmetic wear, even after years of use. Additional features include smooth teflon feet which allow for little wear on the bottom of the mouse, and a braided cable that protects the wire from rips and tears. See More

Top Pro

Software is very easy to use and straightforward
