About the Product

S Series is designed to have a shorter overall length allowing users’ to easily wrap around and hold the mouse. There’s enough space between the palm and back edge of the mouse so users can move freely during vertical movements.

The raised front-end provides palm grip users more space to place their 4th finger, which provides more comfort, less stretching and less dragging on the table. Sides of the mouse are shaped similarly to the ambidextrous ZA and FK Series.

What customers say about "Key Specs"

BenQ ZOWIE S1 Symmetrical-Short Gaming Mouse

Flawless sensor. Great low profile looks.
A reliable sensor, and i believe it is the perfect mouse for fps games.
My new main mouse for FPS. Good sensor.
You should already know about the 3360 sensor, and it's implemented well here.
The sensor started to spin-out so I ordered a new one.

BenQ ZOWIE S2 Symmetrical-Short Gaming Mouse

The side buttons are so much better than my G305's and just quite good feeling overall.
With this mouse I don’t even have to move any of my fingers at all. My hand is relaxed and I’m not worried adjusting grip to press those buttons on the side.
The contour of the shell and the materials used are just perfect. It feels so nice to hold.
The scrollwheel is loud AF and the 16 steps makes it feel awful for scrolling web pages/documents.
When you press very hard the left click also presses the mouse wheel.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

BenQ ZOWIE S1 Symmetrical-Short Gaming Mouse

The shape and size of the mouse is good.
This is a small sized mouse so I would recommend the S1.
It's a great mouse especially for small to medium sized hands.
Great purchase for the right hand size.
My hands are 19x10, this is the most comfortable out of all of them.

BenQ ZOWIE S2 Symmetrical-Short Gaming Mouse

Shape is pretty good. The S2 is heaven in comparison with G305. I just feel the rear is a little too fat but it may just be the overall size of the mouse.
I found that despite all being fairly lightweight, the thing that improved my performance the most was shape.
The mouse is very light compared to my death adder, g402, g403 and so is very easy to maneuver.
The mouse wheel is fine for games. And this mouse is the perfect size, fits very well in the hand.
The shape fits my grip style like a glove, the matte black finish not only feels glorious but it is a pleasure to look at too.

What customers say about "Connection"

BenQ ZOWIE S1 Symmetrical-Short Gaming Mouse

No need to install drivers and software. Plug and play.
Well built and no software needed, good connect to pc.
Stock cable could be upgraded tho. Still very good.
The cord could way better with good connect, but not.
The cable is outdated compared to many new mice.

BenQ ZOWIE S2 Symmetrical-Short Gaming Mouse

Great material quality. It is also very easy to connect.
The mouse shows excellent connection through USB cable.
The connection cable looks strong and reliable. This mouse will last a long time.
I encountered a problem related to the connection, the mouse was constantly disconnecting and connecting.
After a while, I could not connect the mouse to the computer due to a broken cable.

What customers say about "Features"

BenQ ZOWIE S1 Symmetrical-Short Gaming Mouse

This mouse features a reliable sensor, and i believe it is the perfect mouse for fps games.
Best feature: new button for setting response rate!
Side clicks are the best in all the Zowie shapes, they are huge and travel is short like instant clicks.
Configure DPI and polling rate with the two buttons below the mouse.
The scrollwheel is very good when you bind it to something where you don't want to accidentally scroll two or more times since it's hard to do so.

BenQ ZOWIE S2 Symmetrical-Short Gaming Mouse

The S2 clicks feel more satisfying and helps improve my gaming experience.
Feet feel pretty good. Comes with replacement.
No need to install software. Configure DPI and polling rate with the two buttons below the mouse.
The scrollwheel is very good when you bind it to something where you don't want to accidentally scroll two or more times since it's hard to do so.
Feet could be a bit thicker. If you press down the mouse too much it could increase friction by a lot since they're so thin. Might last less too because of it.
