Mionix Naos 7000 vs Zowie EC2-A

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.

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.

It uses the ADNS-3310 sensor, it's an accurate 7000 CPI optical sensor with no angle-snapping, hardware acceleration, or jitter.

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.

Users are able to adjust the mouse's settings easily, allowing them to control what they want from their gaming mouse.

This mouse is neither too heavy nor too light: its weight is just right, maximizing comfort.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
