Our Verdict

BenQ ZOWIE S1

BenQ ZOWIE ZA12-B

The BenQ ZOWIE ZA12-B and the BenQ ZOWIE S1 are wired gaming mice with very similar performance but different shapes and sizes. The S1 is larger and well-suited for larger hands using any grip type; however, any hand size should feel comfortable using it with a palm grip. On the other hand, the ZA12-B is smaller and significantly lighter. It's well-suited to all hand sizes using a palm or claw grip, but those with small or medium-sized hands may have trouble reaching the scroll wheel and both side buttons using a fingertip grip. The S1 has a better click latency, but it may be too small of a difference for most people to notice.
