The short version
The EC2-DW is Zowie's 60 g medium ergonomic wireless mouse and the current successor to the EC2-CW, whose page now redirects to it. It uses a PixArt PAW3950 sensor, a driverless design with DPI stages up to 3,200, and an enhanced receiver that adds 4,000 Hz polling and doubles as a charging dock. Battery life is rated at 80 hours at 1,000 Hz and 24 hours at 4,000 Hz. PC Gamer recommends it most for palm-grip players in tactical shooters.

What reviewers and owners say
PC Gamer · Jacob Fox
PositiveConsiders it excellent for palm-grip players in tactical shooters, praising the sturdy build and driverless setup, but finds it harder to justify at this price for other players and genres.

Common questions
Is the EC2-CW still sold?
Zowie's EC2-CW page now redirects to the EC2-DW, which PC Gamer describes as having a better sensor, a lighter body and 4K polling compared with the CW version.
Does the EC2-DW need software?
No. Zowie lists it as plug and play with no driver needed, and PC Gamer notes the mouse is limited to 3,200 DPI because it is driverless.
