The Physical Characteristics comparison is just a viewable representation of the devices' length, width, height and weight. Sensor, Latency and Other Features are, instead, computed within the range 0-->100, taking into account if the variable is getting better with the increase of its value (e.g the highest max DPI, the better it is) or vice versa (the lowest Click Latency, the better); for example, a score of 50 for both devices means they are equal, scores of 70 and 30 mean that first one better. So, the data are homogeneous to provide immediate meaning, higher bar(s) means better value(s). An empty graph means that there is not enough data to compute that comparison (one value or both are missing).
Aiding our visitors to the final choice between the mice.
This final paragraph will help you in the decision making process, between Benq Zowie EC2-B and Logitech G403 Hero, and in selecting the mouse that is performing better and best suits your needs. We are aware that every user has own needs and preferences, due to this each mouse could be better for some features and worse for other ones. The purpose of the text is to highlight this possibility and generate an "overall score" for a purchase decision.
First of all, mice have different utilization aim, Zowie EC2-B is meant to be Gaming mouse while G403 Hero, instead, Gaming. The Zowie EC2-B is older, 7 years old, being released in the 2017, while the other one is younger, 5 years old, being released in the 2019. The production age difference is 2 year(s). This makes the G403 Hero a bit more attractive in terms of freshness.
• Dimensions, Weight, Ergonomy 📐⚖️🫳
When it comes to evaluate mice dimensions, you should take into consideration the size of your hand and check if it would properly fit it or not. In this case, you should check which mice would be the fittest. Compared to G403 Hero mouse, Zowie EC2-B is ~4.00 mm (or ~0.16 in) Shorter, ~4.00 mm (or ~0.16 in) Narrower and ~3.00 mm (or ~0.12 in) Lower, which makes it, overally, 11 mm (or -0.43 in) moderately smaller and better suiting tinier hands.
Considering the weight, Benq Zowie EC2-B is 3% heavier, a difference of 2.70 g (0.01 lbs), which can be considered not so significant. We do not express a particular preference for heavier or lighter mice, being this a completely personal objective preference. However, G403 Hero offers weight personalization (addable weights or editable shape) while Zowie EC2-B does not.
Regarding the Ergonomy, both mice are meant to be used with your right hand. They offer different grip, Palm grip, Claw grip by Zowie EC2-B while G403 Hero has Palm grip; the first one can be considered more adaptable, with a greater number of grip possibilities equal to 2 instead of the 1 offered by the other one.
• Sensor and Latencies 🐭⏱️
Let's now compare Benq Zowie EC2-B sensor with the one of Logitech G403 Hero. The two mice share the same sensor technology, that is Optical, but different sensor model: PMW3360 equipped by Zowie EC2-B and HERO 16K used by G403 Hero. It is very important to say that, although tech and model sometimes coincide, the assembly and composition of interior circuits might result in different specs and latencies.
Resolution, Max Acceleration and Max Tracking, Polling Rate and Lift Off
The mice offer different resolution range (DPImax - DPImin), the Zowie EC2-B provides 2800 DPI/CPI, while G403 Hero offers 15900 DPI/CPI, meaning that the last one has way larger range. Consider picking up the one having the sensitivity range that mostly suits your needs, depending on the aim (Gaming/Business) but also the kind of game you are going to use it mostly (e.g. FPS is different than RTS or MOBA). If you need a higher precision mouse, meaning that for the same length of shift the mouse will recognize more movement, "reading" more dots per inch and, in other words, will move faster on the screen, G403 Hero is offering 80% better Max Resolution, 12800 More DPI/CPI.
As for the Maximum Acceleration, which measures the maximum pull force in G(s) that the sensor can trace before inconsistencies occur, Zowie EC2-B shows a better value, 50 G, a small difference of 10 G. Going on, taking into account the Maximum Tracking Speed, the velocity (inches per second) that the mouse can move at before it starts to loose track and cause anomalies, G403 Hero shows a preferable value, 400 IPS, a significant difference of 150 IPS. Take into account that max G and max IPS mostly affect activities requiring very fast mouse shift, together with the shift latency that we will analyse further in this section.
They have a Polling Rate of 1000 Hz, in other words they report data to computer 1 time every 1.00 ms. Lastly, the Lift Off distance of G403 Hero shows an higher value, 2 mm, a significant difference of 0.80 mm. Anyway, Zowie EC2-B offers adjustable lift off distance through software.
Click and Shift Latencies
Benq Zowie EC2-B has higher click latency than Logitech G403 Hero, a consistent difference of 3.80 ms, 29% worse Click Latency, which can be evaluated significant, in terms of compared performance. Anyway, we feel it is important to underline that the differences in latencies are often more perceptible from the machine's point of view rather than human's, reducing the real impact of these values and deviations. At the moment there is no available data to compare the mice shift latency, since the data of Zowie EC2-B is missing. Contact us to request priority data update. However, G403 Hero has a shift latency of 7.67 ms which can be considered very good , compared to a medium quality mouse.
• Other Features 📎
Let's now have a look, finally, to the general features of the two mice. They are equipped with different Switch Technology, Zowie EC2-B has Vary by batch from Huano to Omrons while G403 Hero has Logitech Mechanical Switches; The Feet Material is different, Zowie EC2-B (PTFE) and G403 Hero (Unknown). Considering the available Number of Buttons, 5 offered by first mouse and 6 offered by the second one, a small difference of 1 that can be considered important or not depending on the utilization purpose. In the end, the feature offered by Benq Zowie EC2-B is DPI Indicator, while Logitech G403 Hero is giving RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB.
