Our Verdict
BenQ ZOWIE S2
Fnatic BOLT
The Fnatic BOLT and the BenQ ZOWIE S2 are gaming mice with similar symmetrical shapes but the Fnatic performs better overall. The Fnatic connects wirelessly with a USB receiver or via Bluetooth. It's significantly lighter and feels slightly better built, and its feet glide somewhat more smoothly. Performance-wise, it also has lower click latency, lower lift-off distance, a much broader CPI range, and the ability to set your own custom CPI settings, while the BenQ only allows you to cycle between CPI presets. Additionally, the Fnatic has customization software, which the BenQ lacks. On the other hand, the BenQ feels sturdier.
