Pros
Pro No unnecessary functionality
Zowie has kept the FK2 remarkably simple. There's no RGB lighting, adjustable weights, or superfluous buttons that end up only getting in the way. It's plug-and-play and requires no additional software. You can customize only the essential settings such as lift off distance, polling rate, or switch between left or right-handed modes with just a combination of specific button presses.
Pro Excellent 3200 CPI optical sensor
The Zowie FK2 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.
Pro Sturdy mouse wheel
Pro Aluminium base with configurable weights
Pro Interesting futuristic design
The Corsair Vengeance M65 has a very interesting futuristic look to its design. With its metal core to the 3 plastic pieces on the outside of the frame and the over-sized scroll wheel.
Cons
Con Only 4 DPI settings
Even though the ADNS-3310 sensor supports DPI settings in increments of 50, the FK1 only lets you choose between 400 / 800 / 1600 / 3200 DPI.
Con Middle click needs too much force
Plenty of people use the middle mouse button to move the map around. Unfortunately the middle click for this mouse takes too much force to be used consistently.
Con Bad Palm Grip
With a design that is not ergonomic at the back and side buttons that are so far out it is not a recommended mouse for a mouse user who prefers palm grip.
Con Has input lag and smoothing
Being that this device is using a laser sensor there is expected lag and smoothing.
