Our Verdict

Pwnage StormBreaker

BenQ ZOWIE EC2-CW

The BenQ ZOWIE EC2-CW and the Pwnage StormBreaker are wireless gaming mice with very similar shapes. The BenQ has a solid plastic body. On the other hand, the Pwnage has a magnesium alloy body with weight-saving cutouts. It's significantly lighter and has better overall gaming performance. It also supports a higher wireless polling rate of 4000Hz and has an unusual feature that allows you to adjust the sensor position.
