ZOWIE, a globally recognized brand for producing high-quality professional esports peripherals, has launched its first-ever wireless mouse, the EC-CW series. This latest innovation was developed with cutting-edge sports science research and development to meet the needs of both casual and competitive gamers. ZOWIE has observed that numerous gamers prioritize their performance and mouse selection, while inadvertently overlooking the importance of physical endurance. This trend is concerning, as endurance plays a crucial role in sustaining a gamer’s long-term health and professional esports career. The creation of the EC-CW series is based on in-depth sports science research, which has led to the development of ergonomic design methods, enabling BenQ ZOWIE to access diverse design proposals from a 360-degree perspective.
The EC-CW series is intended to provide the best gaming equipment that ensures total connectivity and stability while minimizing hand injuries and fatigue. The EC-CW wireless mouse offers seamless mobility without cable clutter and minimizes transmission interference through its standalone wireless receiver and antenna located at the front tip. This innovative feature significantly reduces the likelihood of unexpected interruptions during critical gameplay or work sessions.
The EC-CW boasts an outstanding anti-fatigue feature that targets the wrist flexor muscles, allowing prolonged usage even with frequent clicks. Moreover, the design provides exceptional comfort for the fingers with a designated thumb rest and facilitates endurance by preventing inadvertent clicks with its strategically placed buttons. The ergonomic design comes in handy when performing long-distance horizontal movements and allows for stable control and manoeuvring of the mouse when playing popular first-person shooter games such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) and VALORANT, or MOBA games like DOTA 2 or League of Legends.
ZOWIE’s first wireless mouse maintains its trademark asymmetrical ergo design that offers customers a natural curvy top shell that comfortably supports the users’ palms. The classic shape of the EC-CW ensures just the right amount of palm contact and accommodates all types of grip styles, enabling players to adopt a comfortable posture during extended gameplay. The EC series wireless mouse is available in three distinct sizes – EC1-CW, EC2-CW, and EC3-CW, providing users with a range of options to choose from based on their preferred grip styles and in-game requirements.
Jeffrey Liang, President of BenQ APAC, said, “Together with The Human & Machine Innovation Lab, we have conducted comprehensive qualitative interviews and usability tests for our prototypes, which took a significant amount of time to complete. We firmly believe that incorporating sports science-based designs can drastically enhance the performance and endurance of esports players. Aside from esports players, our latest design will also benefit anyone who suffers from muscle fatigue due to prolonged computer use.” The EC2-CW and EC3-CW wireless mouse is now available in Singapore at SGD249 per item and can be found on BenQ’s Lazada official store.
