Our Verdict

BenQ ZOWIE EC2

Vaxee OUTSET AX

The Vaxee OUTSET AX and the BenQ ZOWIE EC2 are wired gaming mice with similar designs, but the Vaxee is a better mouse overall. The Vaxee has a significantly sturdier-feeling build quality, it's lighter, it's slightly taller and wider, and it has textured surfaces on the L/R click buttons. It also has better cable and mouse feet, lower click latency, and a lower lift-off distance. Both mice lack companion software, and they only have four default onboard CPI settings.
