Our Verdict

Fnatic FLICK 2

BenQ ZOWIE EC2

The Fnatic FLICK 2 and the BenQ ZOWIE EC2 are both good wired gaming mice. The Fnatic feels sturdier and has a more flexible cable. It also has a wider CPI range, and you can adjust the CPI by increments of 100, while you can only cycle between four preset CPI settings on the BenQ. The Fnatic also has customization software, which the BenQ lacks. On the other hand, the BenQ is marginally lighter and has mouse feet that glide smoother, though they have sharp edges. The BenQ also has significantly lower click latency.
