Our Verdict
BenQ ZOWIE EC2
Logitech G403 HERO
The Logitech G403 HERO is better than the BenQ ZOWIE EC2. The Logitech feels better built, has a wider and more customizable CPI range, and its click latency is slightly lower. Also, unlike the BenQ, the Logitech's logo and scroll wheel have RGB zones, and it comes with outstanding software to customize the buttons and sensor settings. However, the BenQ's mouse feet glide better than the Logitech.
