Our Verdict

UtechSmart VENUS Pro

BenQ ZOWIE FK2-B

The BenQ ZOWIE FK2-B is a good, wired gaming mouse for FPS gaming, while the UtechSmart Venus Pro is a good wireless mouse for MMO gaming. The BenQ ZOWIE is much lighter and has an ambidextrous shape with two side buttons. It also has mouse feet that glide more smoothly and a much lower click latency. Unfortunately, it only has four default CPI settings. On the other hand, the UtechSmart has a right-handed shape with a thumb rest and a 12-button panel on the left. It also has a wider CPI range, an adjustable CPI, a lower lift-off distance, and customization software.
