Our Verdict

Logitech G403 HERO

BenQ ZOWIE ZA11-B

The Logitech G403 HERO and the BenQ ZOWIE ZA11-B are both gaming mice, but they have different shapes. The Logitech is a right-handed mouse with a slightly curved body, with two buttons on its left side. The BenQ also has two buttons on its left side, but it has an ambidextrous shape. When it comes to performance, the Logitech is better overall thanks to its lower lift-off distance, adjustable CPI range, and better click latency. Also, it has a braided, flexible cable, many programmable buttons, and it comes with customization software to easily change your settings.
