"Easily switch between 125, 500 and 1,000 Hz"

why

Some guys play crossfire or some other f2p fps game and apparently anything over 125hz produces bad mouse cursor behaviour.

Really? Haha, oh dear. :/

yeah i hate modifying the mouse driver whenever I want to swap back to 125hz on wmo

ZOWIE GEAR acknowledged that there are gamers who prefer a faster scroll wheel. With the new model comes a 24-step rotation wheel compared to the standard 16.

So he basically turned EC into WMO.. looking forward to reviews and new products they come up with.

hahahaha Dat Click!

Looks like mouse for CS players (Dirty Bomb?)

No info about switches (i.e. the reason why I can't buy anything Zowie) or feet. Instead, they concentrate on scroll wheel that's usable only by CSS players and would totally suck for Quake. What the heck?

scroll->demon

ur argument is invalid

I doubt dem0n could use such a sensitive scrollwheel to switch weapons. ;)

i doubt he cares.

but just in case i have secret backup argument :-)

I don't doubt you do. :)

I wouldn't be too surprised if he actually managed to use it. But should take him some time to get used to it.

That's exactly my point.

Quake players would prefer to bind stuff to the mouse wheel (be it changing weapons, or selecting them, or anything else that makes the wheel 2 additional buttons for you to bind).

More defined mouse scroll steps are then preferred, as opposed to mouse that scrolls webpages really fast, or lets you jump right after landing in CSS.

"ZOWIE GEAR acknowledged that there are gamers who prefer a faster scroll wheel. With the new model comes a 24-step rotation wheel compared to the standard 16." not just Quake players, and it says some not ALL. Clearly you are not one of them and that is fine.

If you do not use the wheel for something like changing weapon (where faster wheel means you change it to the wrong weapon), you would appreciate the faster scroll wheel for e.g. web browsing.

Regarding the stiff switches, if you try AM-FG or FK they are less stiff even though they use the same switches, they are molded differently.

"ZOWIE GEAR have made this choice together with Cooller because Quake gamers tend not to use the scroll wheel to change weapons compared to other games."

Which means we don't use it at all and want fast scrolling in browsers?

One of the beautiful aspects of LAN is that I could get my hands on some mice and they are stiff for someone coming from old Razer "hyper response" buttons (they don't make mice for me anymore either, so I don't know how soft/stiff are buttons in the mice they released after 2007 ;))

some use it, some don't - the PR states that it is less frequent in Quake than in, for example, CS.

faster scroll wheel - EC CL, slower scroll - EC eVo standard, it is just another option, not a replacement for the normal scroll wheel :)

the bigger amount doesn't necessarily make them less defined, there're loads of of well defined 24-step mechanical solutions, like for example Alps encoders from Roccat mice or even Abyssus up to some point(mostly due to scroll size there). It's all up to the manufacturer to choose the turn force of the wheel encoder from a great variety.

" the click feedback of 24-step is also a little bit lighter than the original 16-step"

I misread this bit and exaggerated. Yes, "a little bit lighter" may not be a problem.

you are forgetting +button2 spam, for which this mouse wheel will be the bomb!

They concentrate on a bigger market? How unexpected from a business.

Maybe you need to read RTFA. They keep saying how Quake players want fast scroll wheel with no tactile feedback.

maybe you need to LTUFA (learn to use fucking acronyms)

How much does it weigh.......

EC1: 97gr, EC2: 93gr

Way too heavy.

It's just mouse.

disappointed by the name, should have been QLR

Yep, it could be much more appealing with very small changes. Still, hard not to buy a cooller mouse that's available everywhere.

At least for me it is a must buy, even if eventually I'm not gonna use it anymore when the Aurora is available all over the world (2016).

there's a zowie AS coming later

I like the colours, should say cooller on it though, or have some cooller quote :> (even if its just on the label on the bottom). "I'm talking it" lol.

ye, should definitely be more recognizable as having something to do with cooller.. make it the qlr series, russian color scheme, cooller smiley on top and I'm sold. this way really it's "just a mouse"

It needs a cooller logo or like xin said, name it QLR.

They better fix the weight though, zowie mice are like bricks

I don't think they will change anything after already going public with their product.

it's not the weight, it's those big-ass teflon feet, i use a cm storm recon
(108g+ ) atm and it does not feel heavy at all.

evo ec feet are fine...

I really hope a new QLR mouse will come out at some point.

If i was cooller i'd try to make a kinzuadder-type mouse. Kinzu shell (or something very close) with omrons and an A3090, got a feeling that will sell well.

Or maybe a real ergonomic gaming mouse (like those ones that are tilted 45-90 degrees). It's just that with the Aurora,Kana v2,Zowie fk, G100s, it seems to me that the market for ambidextrous gaming with a proper sensor and good proven shape have become plentiful, except for a Sensie sized one perhaps. Maybe a deathadder/imo 3.0/ec evo 1 style ergonomic palm mouse but much more light weight is unavailable and in demand, that or a proper figertip-grip mouse (without a heavy hump in the back which tries to also appeal to claw grippers) is something that's in demand and not really available yet. With so many good gaming mice coming out now I can't think of a missing universally acclaimed shape with a proper sensor that is NOT available. wingman shape optical mouse maybe?

What would u guys want to see?

What would u guys want to see?

just started on prozac :) first pill was kinda fail tho, there was a bottle on the table which i thought had water in it, but turned out it was tuica (a kinda whisky, home made). so i took my first prozac with alcohol

I need to see a pic of the box before ordering, better have nice picture on it with signature.

Worn underwear in limited edition pack probably too much to ask?

you want that with precum and cum?

the FK coating is neato, but I was hoping for something more, like a new shape. colors don't remind me so much of cooller or quake either. oh well, it's just mouse but still a good one

The coating is great. Too bad the mouse's colour scheme looks toyish. Might look into it since my G400 middle mouse button stopped working recently.

it doesn't look too great, but as i'm using the ec1 evo atm, it might be an worthy upgrade if the coating is really that good.

According to Zowie its out for sale in stores at the beginning of December.

They need to change their names!

Need reviews :D

2,300 dpi ???????????? lol almost same as boomslang 2000 ballmouse (1999year). What a shame. Seriously, how can u shaft without at least 5000dpi ?

this kinda troll doesnt work very well on esr ;>

it was sarcasm.

no fucking shit.

trolling and sarcasm aren't always the same thing just so you know.

my original comment was adding more sarcasm, but maybe smileys dont translate to anything for some people ;(((((((((

i will most probably buy this mouse only for a better grip compared to evo non-cl which i use atm.

to the guys who used zowie AM with soft coating and then FK which has the same coating as the CL will be, is it worth it?

Same coating as FK.

Whether or not its worth it is up to you, but the surfaces are pretty different. FK coating feels kinda like a chalk board.

it is finally available in Caseking (Germany) and Maxfps.se (Sweden) with other stores following in the next days.
