Graphs Description 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).

Final Vs Words

Aiding our visitors to the final choice between the mice.

This final paragraph will help you in the decision making process, between Benq Zowie FK2 and Benq Zowie FK1, 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, both mice share the same utilization aim, Gaming mouse. The mice are aged similarly, 10 years old, being released in the 2014.

• 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 Zowie FK1 mouse, Zowie FK2 is ~4.00 mm (or ~0.16 in) Shorter, ~3.00 mm (or ~0.12 in) Narrower and ~1.00 mm (or ~0.04 in) Lower, which makes it, overally, 8 mm (or -0.31 in) slightly smaller and better suiting tinier hands.

Considering the weight, Benq Zowie FK2 is 6% lighter, a difference of 5.00 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. Anyway, both mice does not offer weight personalization .

Regarding the Ergonomy, both mice can be used with right or left hand. They offer the same grip, Palm grip, Claw grip; the degree of adaptability is the same and equal to 2.

• Sensor and Latencies 🐭⏱️

Let's now compare Benq Zowie FK2 sensor with the one of Benq Zowie FK1. The two mice share the same sensor technology, that is Optical, and the same sensor model PMW3310. 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 the same resolution range (DPImax - DPImin) of 2800 DPI/CPI in which you can pick up the sensitivity that mostly suits your needs. They are offering the same Max Resolution, 3200 DPI/CPI, meaning that for the same length of shift the mice will recognize the same amount of movement, "reading" equal dots per inch and, in other words, they will move with the same speed on the screen.

As for the Maximum Acceleration, which measures the maximum pull force in G(s) that the sensor can trace before inconsistencies occur, the models show equal values, 30 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, they have the same spec of 130 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, Zowie FK2 and Zowie FK1 share a Lift Off distance of 1.2 mm, above this one they will not work accurately. Anyway, they offer adjustable lift off distance through software.

Click and Shift Latencies

Benq Zowie FK2 and Benq Zowie FK1 have the same click latency of 13 ms, which can be evaluated above the average, compared to a medium quality mouse. 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 Zowie FK2 and Zowie FK1 shift latency. Contact us to request priority data update.

• Other Features 📎

Let's now have a look, finally, to the general features of the two mice. They are equipped with the same Switch Technology, Unknown; The Feet Material is the same, PTFE. Considering the available Number of Buttons, 5 offered by first mouse and 5 offered by the second one, a no difference of 0 that can be considered important or not depending on the utilization purpose. In the end, the feature offered by Benq Zowie FK2 is DPI Indicator, while Benq Zowie FK1 is giving DPI Indicator.
