ZOWIE is pleased to announce the release of the latest wireless versions of FK, ZA, and S series for Esports: FK2-DW, ZA13-DW, and S2-DW. Retaining their iconic shapes, these new wireless models have undergone rigorous testing, validated by sports science, to ensure improved performance in critical in-game actions such as micro adjustments, flick shots, lifting and tracking. Paired with our advanced 4K enhanced receiver, supporting up to 4,000 Hz polling rate, these models are designed to provide gamers with the precision and responsiveness needed to thrive in competitive environments.

FK2-DW Delivers Agile and Precise Micro Adjustments
The new wireless FK2-DW retains its signature low-hump design, lower than most competing mice, providing more space between the palm and the mouse. This design enhances flexibility for micro-adjustments, particularly when aiming at long distances or tracking moving targets. Sports science testing has shown that increasing the space between the palm and mouse allows for greater range of movement, leading to more precise micro-adjustments. Moreover, our research indicates that FK2-DW's design delivers shorter aiming time for shooting.





ZA13-DW Allows Fast and Precise Flick Shots
ZA13-DW's higher hump provides full palm support, balancing muscle exertion evenly across both sides. Scientifically proven to outperform others, the ZA high-hump design and left and right curves promote optimally balanced muscle activation in the palm, facilitating faster flick shots. Sports science testing also confirms that ZA13-DW offers superior palm support for fixed-point braking compared to other mice. The curves on both sides enhance palm muscle activation during braking, making fixed-point braking more defined for the highest aiming accuracy.



S2-DW Enables Agile Lifting and Stable Tracking
S2-DW's shorter overall design, combined with its left and right-side curves, allows the muscles on both sides of the palm to stably control the mouse and provide greater flexibility during vertical movements. Our tests show that in comparison to other mice, S2-DW promotes a more balanced engagement of the left and right palm muscles, resulting in the most stable and accurate tracking.

I mean, better now than never, but why in the name of all that’s holy are they 65 grams? Like… what? I am not asking for holes, but there are plenty of mice of the same size and wireless capability that are 10 grams lighter. Zowie, you know you can NOT make the plastic of the shell dummy thick?
And yeah, as @Vayra86 said, since this is Zowie they are almost sure to be unreasonably priced for what they are. Then again, shape IS king and these three shapes are some of the best ever made, so not like they don’t have a reason to ask premium.

Can't help you there but ...

I can't say Zowie without feeling like I'm reading a superhero comic book from the 50s :roll:
