How big is the zowie fk compared to the deathadder? Also is the DPI software for it good?

Zowie is a no bullshit mouse that comes only with a button that you can switch between 4 DPI settings (400, 800, 1200, 1600) and installs a driver. There's a few different variations of Zowie mice so it all depends on the type of grip you use, as well as size preference.

INSTEAD I AM GOING TO WHINE ABOUT IT IN OTHER THREADS SO MY OPINION CAN FEEL VALIDATED IN AN ECHO CHAMBER I LIKE


Been looking for a new mouse, I currently use a g500s weighted the gently caress out, probably should pull the weights out honestly, but then I'd have to relearn it. ANyway, the mouse was good for non-FPS games, but I feel like for CSGO I could get better use out of a different mouse, especially since I don't need 15 buttons.

It's hard to get a good view of the mice, but I see people recommending the ec1-a for a claw grip, confirm/deny?

Coming from an MX510 which is the exact same shape as the g400s (I have one of those too), I tried the EC1-A, FK1, and ZA11.

I didn't like the shape of the ZA11, the FK1 was too big, and the EC1-A didn't feel right either. Once I got used to the FK2 (it's much different than the MX510/g400s) it was great. I knew I needed to get past the mx/g style.

The FK2 is light, slightly smaller than the FK1 (I have average sized hands), has great pads that glide nicely on a cloth mat, and something we take for granted: it has a great cord that doesn't get in the way and is a different material than the mx/g mice. It's like a softer plastic that bends easier.

I use a g400s on my work laptop when I'm home - it's sitting next to me right now - and I can't imagine going back to that type of mouse for CS or other aim intensive games.

Here are a couple examples of the FK2 in action, from yesterdays goonmans:

Met a guy yesterday in (non prime, ofc) MM on mirage who was very clearly using aim assist, but at the same time he was somehow convinced that I was also hacking and kept calling me out, eventually managed to provoke him into going full blatant when he hosed up a couple of rounds and in the end he had dropped a total of 62 kills when we finally tied out the game-- today he got OW banned :smugdog:

Also there's sick fighting game button combos to set polling rate/lift-off distance so you have full control over useful settings without having to install any drivers

Zowie products are refreshingly to the point in a world of useless apps for everything.

Yeah I have average sized hands as well. What kind of grip do you use? Full palm, claw or something else?

At this point in my life I don't think i can change my grip style (nor do I care to put forth the effort to).

Palm. I'm able to use the same grip as my previous mouse even though it's a completely different shape with much more control.

I easily returned all 3 of those other mice once I stuck with the FK2. At $60 it's worth a try at least for a few days.

almost everyone in that team is apparently toxic, with the possible exception of Edward. It happened many times that Edward was clutching last round 1v2 or 1v3 and the entire team went gg and disconnected while he was clutching. Now they added the most toxic pro on Earth to that.

In addition, they replaced Zeus, who was toxic too, but at least he was an IGL and apparently only got really angry when they hosed up calls, which is not great but can be effective, esp at leading hotheads. They only have starix now, and the coach can no longer call mid round. They're now a completely directionless team of tilters. Obviously this is just my speculation but it certainly looks it.

You can play all the maps you want, but the active duty maps are generally considered the most balanced and polished maps in the pool and are obviously the most popular ones (and thus have shorter queue times). The only way it really matters is that when you queue for less popular maps you can end up with strange and unbalanced matches rankwise since there's less people to pull from.

There's some US goons playing on nova levels at least (I think there's even a group?) but you really ought to get yourself a mic, they only cost like $5 or less for a completely servicable one.

Also there are crazy people that play ONLY assault or aztec or some other reserve map and they will be retardedly good on it (against all the baddies anyway), but can't play any other map.

I played assault MM one night, possibly with some goons and we ran into a 5-stack of dudes SMFC/GE and they were loving terrible, probably <=MG1 in actual rank.

I have a microphone I will send in the mail to a goon free of charge with a promise it will be used. It's kinda loud though, so you might have to mess with the settings or something and figure out how to save them.
