Zowie is often considered one of the best peripheral makers across the globe. They certainly know how to create fantastic shapes, so pretty much everyone can find a comfortable Zowie mouse. The Divina S series mice feature a symmetrical design, PMW3360 top optical sensor, and a lightweight shell optimized for eSports-level performance.

I wonder it it's another example of leftard ideology or a sarcastic middle finger to it.
Unfortunately it's probably the former.

haha, no.. Whoever came up with those colors has to get the boot (from the IT industry) and go back to writing blogs about systematic racism, inclusivity and toxic sexism.

I was under the impression that it's a review of a mouse Half pink, Half cyan.
It actually looks awesome.

But no, it's just two color choices for the entire mouse. BOOOORING.

Pink isn't progressive.

It's retro. It was the colour of choice for boys in the Victorian age, during the height of one of the largest empires on earth, run by men and ruled by a Queen. But hey, fashions alter and this is all this is. Fashion. It's not leftist ideology...

No it wasn't; that's the typical rewriting of History by stealth: introduce a lie with assurance and let people propagate it until it becomes the new fact.

Is this simply an FK2 redesign with a color change? I have been hoping for a slightly smaller EC2 but I am disappointed that since BenQ bought Zowie, the innovation has been absent.

I fail to see how a product group targeted at female gamers is part of a leftard ideology, enlighten us please.

With the use of MouseTester's built-in CPI measurement tool, and with a ruler. :)

As written in the review multiple times, it's different to both the ZA and FK series. Shape, buttons, weight, surface, sensor, cable, all different.

Part of a trend Vanir, part of a trend.
But let's assume it is simply female targeted. Although, if that's the case I can see SJWs jump on it with accusations of sexism.

I have seen plenty of female gamers on twitch, and encountered plenty of them in online games with microphone. Its a smart move in a capitalist sense, half the population is female, everyone uses computer mice either at home or at work. There are women that buy pink gaming peripherals just to have a pink office mouse. Whether or not it is a cheap ploy to sell a female-targeted product by simply making it pink is a different argument. See the controversy over Bic's For Her pink pens for example.
Why don't we focus on the merits of the mouse rather than start this "libtard" "sjw" downward spiral into political bullshit.

If Zowie makes a decent EC2 variant "for females" that is slightly narrower, I would buy it even if it is only available in pink / light blue.

Gross. Colors aren't even nice. I hope they don't plan on selling a lot of these niche mice. Even female gamers probably wouldn't like this. Computer peripheral marketing to women is hilarious in the first place. Because everybody remembers that huge female oriented computer product from the past.... No? Nothin?....
