Zowie has announced an exciting new addition to its gaming mouse lineup with a glossy white version of the popular EC1-DW wireless ergonomic gaming mouse. Currently, the EC1-DW is available only in black with a matte finish. This new iteration aims to attract gamers looking for a stylish and functional option.
The design of the white mouse maintains the ergonomic shape and button layout that users have come to appreciate. It features the same ER2-80 4K Enhanced wireless receiver, ensuring a seamless connection. Importantly, the EC1-DW is exclusively designed for right-handed users, a characteristic likely to carry over to the new white model as well.
Specifications and Features
The EC1-DW is offered in three sizes: small, medium, and large, which caters to a wide range of user preferences. This versatility means the upcoming white version will likely be available in the same size options. The mouse is expected to weigh approximately 63 grams, equipped with the PixArt PAW 3950 sensor, the same found in the recently reviewed Keychron M7 8K, which has received positive feedback for its performance.
In terms of usability, Zowie includes a web driver for configuration, allowing gamers to customize their mouse settings easily. This feature enhances the user experience, catering to those who prefer personalized adjustments for their gaming style.
Market Impact and Anticipated Launch
While an official launch date for the glossy white Zowie EC1-DW has not been disclosed, there are indications that professional players are already testing the mouse in tournaments, as reported on Reddit. This suggests that the release could occur in the coming months, generating anticipation among both professional and casual gamers.
Zowie’s gaming mice are known for their premium pricing, and the white version is expected to follow suit. For reference, the current model, ZA13-DW, retails for $149.99 on Amazon. As Zowie continues to innovate in the gaming equipment sector, the introduction of the glossy white EC1-DW could further solidify its reputation for quality and performance in the competitive gaming market.
