About this deal

What helps with this is the fact that the wheel feels much better than that of the old FK mice. This wheel implementation used to feel a bit mushy which is what I think turned a lot of people off. The fact that this feels a lot clearer and now appears to have more of its surface protruding from the shell (making it easier to use) on my copy makes this quite a bit more usable over the older FK’s wheel, though I personally didn’t have a lot of issues with that one either. I guess for most people Zowie wheels come down to this: you either love ’em or you hate ’em. As with all Zowie mice the FK line comes in different sizes. The FK2 is the smallest of the FK family, with the FK1 and FK1+ being the larger options. The FK2 is a rather small (however pretty long feeling) ambidextrous mouse and Zowie hasn’t made a change to the lauded shape of this mouse so that’s nice to see.

I don’t think that Zowie wants to go for these trends, though. Does that mean they shouldn’t ever try to innovate? No, absolutely not. I think there’s room for a better cable and the inclusion of (as an option) faster feet at the very least but that doesn’t make this mouse a bad one. The FK-B line is like that older striker in your Sunday League football team: he might not have the fanciest new boots and he isn’t the absolute fastest or lightest on the pitch anymore but he still has all the skills that matter and is a reliable and well-performing member of the team.Everyone is different, of course, so this section is really just a guideline. Not a single reviewer can give out recommendations that are 100% correct because different people can have drastically different preferences even if they have the same hand size and main grip type so always take these sorts of sections with a grain of salt.

One of the main reasons people have been waiting for this refresh is the sensor refresh. Instead of the near-perfect 3310 sensor we now have the completely flawless 3360 that serves as the heart and mind of this mouse. Realistically the 3310 only spun out under very specific circumstances but it’s true that it wasn’t a completely flawless sensor so that issue has now been rectified. This implementation is done as it should as well: there’s no evidence of acceleration, smoothing, angle snapping, or any of these other cardinal sins so you get definitely get a reliable gaming performance out of this mouse. Perhaps I took it a bit too far with that metaphor but it does illustrate my thoughts: Zowie’s new mice might not excite people who are looking for cutting edge designs and materials but there’s a whole bunch of people out there who prefer ‘heavier’ and more robust and controlling mice of this type; just look at our pro player lists to see how many pros use Zowie mice. In short: is there anything blatantly wrong with this cable? No, I don’t think so, it’s perfectly serviceable. Is it something they should think about upgrading, though? In my opinion: yes. Sensor and Everyday Performance Even if you’ve never held an actual FK before odds are you’ve held one of its copies. The FK and EC are among the most copied mouse shapes out there, and that’s for a good reason. Zowie is widely known for producing amazing shapes and the FK still counts as one of the best low profile ambidextrous shapes out there. The two large feet on the bottom of the mouse remain the same. They’re rather thin but nicely rounded so the glide is smooth in all directions though they’re not in that ‘gliding on ice fast’ category. This doesn’t matter to me as I in fact prefer slightly slower/more controlling feet so these are right up my alley. I know some people would like there to be a version with faster PTFE feet and I think it would be a good idea to at least include a set in the box for future releases to let people decide for themselves but I sincerely don’t think that a lot of people will have a real problem with these feet so I can see why Zowie goes by the ‘don’t change what works’ idea. Recommended Grip TypesThat said: I don’t think anyone out there would be against an updated cable and perhaps a slightly less oil-attracting coating at the very least, so I’m not saying Zowie should rest on their laurels either. A perfect modern Zowie mouse (in my eyes) would have a paracord cable, a set of faster PTFE feet in the box, and a different feeling coating. Zowie FK2 เป็นเมาส์เกมมิ่งรูปทรงแบบ Balance ออกแบบมาเป็นรูปทรงแบบ Universal สำหรับผู้ที่ถนัดทั้งมือซ้ายและมือขวา พิเศษกว่ารุ่นอื่นๆ ด้วยความสามารถปรับเปลี่ยนปุ่มพิเศษที่จะใช้ได้เฉพาะข้างเท่านั้น เชื่อว่าหลายๆ คนน่าจะรู้จักเมาส์รุ่นนี้กันเป็นอย่างดีเพราะถือว่าเป็นเมาส์ที่ผู้เล่นเกมหรือโปรเกมเมอร์ให้ความสนใจกันเป็นอย่างมาก ด้วยรูปทรงที่ถนัดมือ ใช้ได้ทั้งมือซ้ายและมือขวา สำหรับขนาดของเมาส์ FK2 มองจากด้านบนอยู่ที่ 60 x 58 x 64 มิลลิเมตร และมองจากด้านข้างอยู่ที่ 36 x 124 x 27 มิลลิเมตร และน้ำหนักพอดีมืออยู่ที่ 85 กรัม จัดว่าเป็นเมาส์ตัวเล็กที่สุดในซีรีส์ FK จาก Zowie นั่นเอง โดยขนาดและน้ำหนักจะเหมาะกับผู้ที่มีมือขนาดกลางๆ จนถึงขนาดเล็กหรือมือผู้หญิง เป็นต้น I already know that a lot of people will be disappointed by this release. No paracord cable? No attempt to be the lightest mouse on the market? Psh.

The scroll wheel is still Zowie’s 16 step wheel. I don’t think this will ever change as it’s a conscious design design to go for a 16 step wheel over a 24 step one as Zowie deems the former to be better for gaming, and I do somewhat agree on that. When gaming and bunny hopping around the clear and defined steps feel really natural and precise to use but of course the wheel is less pleasant for browsing or productivity so I guess it all depends on what your main purpose is with this mouse. Since this is very clearly a gaming mouse and I don’t mind the wheel at all I won’t say that this wheel is bad, it’s just different.
