Our Verdict
BenQ ZOWIE S2
Endgame Gear XM1r
The Endgame Gear XM1r and the BenQ ZOWIE S2 are wired gaming mice with similar sizes and symmetrical shapes, but the Endgame Gear is a better gaming mouse overall. Both lack RGB lighting, but the Endgame Gear is slightly lighter and has significantly better click latency. It also has a more flexible cable, feet that glide more smoothly, sturdier feeling build quality, a wider CPI range, and customization software, which the BenQ lacks.
