Started playing some tf2 again but my mouse is half broken. Wanted to get EC2-A but they seem to be really hard to get in Europe and there’s not a single one in stock where I live.

I grip the mouse this way: http://imgur.com/uQpN1Oq
Have g400 atm and it feels like bloat for me. Like a ship whereas I would like it to feel like a bee. EC1-A seemed appealing, but I’m afraid it will also feel bloat considering my grip. FK seems long and thin, not sure if It’d feel comfortable. Don’t know much about ZAs.

I can currently get: EC1-A, FK1, FK2, ZA11/12/13. Or should I keep searching for EC2-A?

My hands are this size http://imgur.com/sGm9pPc

I feel like my g400 is too much of a tank, wouldn't EC1-a feel same or even bigger? Or the form of it is 'just right'?

well if you have medium to small hands id get ec2-a or the fk-1/2, the ec1-a i think is the biggest zowie mouse out of the group(im just repeating things ive heard/seen) ive only ever had 3 mice a deathadder/naga/ec1-a. I can say i like the feel of the ec1-a alot.

Your hands are about the same size as mine, and we even hold the mouse in the same way, I recommend a EC2-A. The shape is much more similar to the g400 compared to any fk mice.

You've tried any of FKs? Thanks for the input btw.

If you use more of a claw grip I'd recommend the zowie fk series

I use a G502 and keep a daedalus apex for a backup... both seem pretty good to me.

I'm pretty sure I had the EC for a while. Now I'm using FK 1. I also use a claw grip and imo claw grips work better with ambidextrous mice, which is why I recommend FK 1 over EC :)

Roccat KPM has a fairly similar shape to the g400 and the same sensor as Zowie mice.

The latest version of the firmware is slightly better than the zowie firmware as well. The mice look pretty horrible, except the grey version which is ok. Buttons and textures on the mouse are really good.

The ec2a is probably the closest shape to what you'll want in terms of zowie mice but they're really hard to come by

I guess one of FKs it is then.

I don't use large part of my g400 (my fingers will get max to the end of scroll whell), would fk1 or fk2 suit me better?

Went to shop to try them, ended up buying FK1, didn’t really like tank form of g400 and FK1 felt.. slick. Just need to try to learn to stop hitting my palm when I move mouse downwards.

Thanks for responses.
