georgeAntaresHas anyone tried the Zowie Camade mouse bungee ? Is it useful ? Since the FK1 doesn't even have a braided cord.

I'm buying a bundle which includes that with the mouse and it's gonna be essentially free.

edit: Zowie FK1 grab em' while you can finns
Essentially 10€ free.

The Camade is 28.90€ and the FK1 is 64.90€. So I consider the ~5€ for it free.

Since when? FK1 is 60€ (59.90€ to be precise), like majority of their other products.

got mine from ebay ( www.ebay.com/itm/New-Zowie-Gear-FK1-USB-Wired-Optical-Gaming-Mouse-Black-/380973616814?pt=Mice&hash=item58b3cc0eae )

I'm having some pretty big issues, wondering if I just have a defective sensor or if this is something others have experienced

sensor will literally just *not* track at all periodically for half a second, and then start up again. it's pretty infrequent but happens enough and is -extremely- noticeable each time. it's like the mouse falls asleep or something and just won't track for half a second, and then it's fine - similar to when peoples' wires go bad, except I don't have a USB ding of it disconnecting, it's just the sensor (I believe).

tried: changing out mouse feet (thought it was a LOD issue at first), changing LOD, changing DPI, trying different USB ports (2.0, 3.0), disabled power management on USB,

plz help, should I just return or whats up

make sure the lens over the sensor isnt dirty or dusty or scratched or anything. my am would do that too until i cleaned the lens.

My experience: a hell of a lot more comfortable to use for me than my G400, but the switches are much stiffer. MUCH.

Hoping it's similar to my experience going from rubber dome to MX blacks where I didn't notice after ~1 week, because it really does feel difficult to use at the moment.

I was using the shiden-kai mid and it was happening semi-frequently, switched to icemat and it was significantly less frequent, then switched to shiden xsoft and it hasn't happened yet at all (few hours now)

/shrug

hope this helps

cyzerBeen checking Canadacomputers quite often for this but it has never been in stock which is strange considering it's now been put on sale.
Might go with a different mouse now, any other mice suggestions for big hands?

Yeah, I asked customer service and they said this:
"Hi,
We are still waiting on stock to come in from zowie as they had a recall on some of their mousse so you will need to check back later.
Have a great day!

is there anyone that got the fk1 and prefers the size/weight of the old fk? I really thought I would much prefer the fk1 over the old fk because I felt the original was too small like everyone else but i just cant get used to the fk1 it feels too long and much heavier and I don't have as much control as the original, as well as the surface material being slightly too slippery or not as grippy to me. I must be the only person that cant get to like it and prefers the old fk. may sell the fk1 for cheap locally most likely.

big necro post sorry. Anyone had a problem where the mouse4 just suddenly stops registering? I'm having that issue with mine, and it has probably only seen 20 hours of use total (I use my Ninox for non FPS stuff).

Really annoying since it's my PTT :/

zowie changed their logo so i think all the fk1s they are selling now are grey with that logo, if that's what you're asking. it looks a lot worse than the original design in my opinion.
