The DW mice are running a 3950 sensor & not the 3395 I claim in the video! I have made a 2nd video for these mice breaking down and demonstrating how they feel to use in game: ua-cam.com/video/Zzs93ZesgcQ/v-deo.html It is a much more relaxed style of video - let me know what you think! Thanks for being here
Bro, this is incredible. I'm using the wired ZA13 and just love all of Zowie's/Vaxee's shapes. Still have yet to watch the whole thing but I'm sure this is going to be a banger.
for the past year, it has been completely impossible for me to follow up and keep track of the naming conventions in the mice industry, but i know the mice are getting really really cool and i want them all, but unfortunately am too broke to buy any lmao
I totally feel you on this one. Zowie naming convention (crash course) Years ago zowie collaborated with 4 pros to make their shapes, they used the pro players initials to start the model name for their mice. ZA (back high hump claw shape) S (back medium hump claw/palm shape) FK (mid low hump fingertip/claw shape) EC (ergo shape) the next number (ZA"13" / FK"2") relates to the size of the mouse - albeit the number convention makes no sense, they normally relate to small medium and large. the next letter is the revision of the shape, so they all started on A (ZA13-"A") but over time they made slight improvements to the mice, and this release brings us revision D (ZA13-"D"W) and the "W" at the end of the model name, refers to the fact it is wireless. It saddens me that I can't help you with the money situation!! Take care dude
so strange that you're saying they told you to post this on the 18th. i signed up for the "email me when it's in stock" thing on their site. they emailed me on the 10th and i ordered it and received it like 2 days later, it's the best mouse i've ever used, hands down(i own 5 wired fk mice and i have the most hours on FK shape) only thing i really don't like is the coating. my hands are too rough/dry for it. i'm debating polishing it a bit so it's like older FKs
@@seanradcliffe6391 Hey Sean, I made most of this video about 4 weeks ago and the release schedule for reviewers has been a bit confusing this time around 🫣 but I appreciate Zowie are juggling many things, this is small fry when compared to the big fish they're dealing with 🤣 Polishing is a great option if the coating doesn't work for you 🫡
I can palm my fk2 za13 za12 ec2 and ec1. with 18x11 hands. But 7 years ago when i 1st tried fk2 it was too small to palm but nowadays i had many smaller mice and somehow learned to palm them all.
Take a look at Zowie on Twitter/X, they have a tonne of information on this - they're allowing a certain number of people to upgrade their dongle for free. It is not a firmware upgrade.
I just got the FK2-DW and Vaxee E1. Vaxee is just better in every way, the clicks are better, the coating is grippy and doesn't leave any fingerprints, lower motion latency and switch debounce, lighter weight, etc. This is not surprising because Vaxee are former Zowie employees unshackling themselves from BenQ, all the best people from Zowie are at Vaxee.
I love Vaxee too, I honestly don't know if anything will ever replace my NP01. There's always at least 1 vaxee and 1 zowie mouse on my desk at all times 🤣

Wish you could've gotten ahold of the S2-DW as well and compared it to the U2. Great video!
@@RyanKristoffJohnson I have a video in mind for a later date where I'll compare ALL zowie shapes. But I need to buy amd test the S2 first 😁

I knew you'd be happy with this release Halo 🫡

Take care dude
I am glad I found your channel again!
Me too brother 🫡
Are they planning on releasing the ZA11/12 sizes? I really thing the za13 is too small for me but Ive always loved this shape.
I had an old 2017 copy of the ZA12 and it's very noticeably back heavy so I've sold it, since the ZA13-DW is shorter in length, is it well balanced?
Great video as always! We legit talked about this release a while back haha. Interesting to see improvements made to the coatings!
Haha you are the reason I reached out to Zowie for a unit 😁 legend
@@Log_Pile Nah you the legend
za13 is a great shape. hope they release the larger za12 and za11 soon too!
me too dude, I can't wait to try the bigger sizes
Good job on the video brother 👊
@UpgradeLemonade Thanks bro 😁 keen to hear your thoughts on the FK when yours arrives 🫡
Spot on review man
@BobbyDigMOB I appreciate it brother 🙏
what mouse pad is that, looks nice
there's a couple mouse pads in this video I think, the first one is the Ghostglides Dream, and the text pad is the Ghostglides Masterpiece
@@Log_Pile Ghostglides Dream is the one, thanks

As a 19x10 palm gripper who mains an EC2-CW, how would I feel about the new ZA??
@@fireguy615 have you ever used a ZA before? it's a really different experience to the EC series, the ZA is much higher in the pocket of your palm
I can palm my fk2 za13 za12 ec2 and ec1. with 18x11 hands. But 7 years ago when i 1st tried fk2 it was too small to palm but nowadays i had many smaller mice and somehow learned to palm them all.
been waiting for a za wireless but of course they make it the small version...oh well
I think they plan to release the larger sizes in the future, but I have no idea as to when 😬
Great video!!
@lemonaim Thank you Lemon 🙏
If you already have a u2, you can’t upgrade the receiver to 4k with firmware?
Take a look at Zowie on Twitter/X, they have a tonne of information on this - they're allowing a certain number of people to upgrade their dongle for free.
It is not a firmware upgrade.
Hi, what senor is the DW versions running ? 3395 ?
Hey dude, I may have got this wrong in the video, I have since been told they're using the 3950
They are using a 3950, not a 3395 as you stated in the video :) .
Are they?? Dammit, thanks dude, I meant to double check this but it slipped my mind!
how is 66g the best they can do? and what about that price range? dinosaur 🦕 mice
I just got the FK2-DW and Vaxee E1. Vaxee is just better in every way, the clicks are better, the coating is grippy and doesn't leave any fingerprints, lower motion latency and switch debounce, lighter weight, etc. This is not surprising because Vaxee are former Zowie employees unshackling themselves from BenQ, all the best people from Zowie are at Vaxee.
I love Vaxee too, I honestly don't know if anything will ever replace my NP01.
There's always at least 1 vaxee and 1 zowie mouse on my desk at all times 🤣
FK2 65gram eh try 50😆 And i used the fk2 back in the day for my small hand size😆
I am excited for the larger sizes to be released 😁 the FK2 is great, but I remember trying the FK1+ and enjoyed it a lot!
