Our Verdict
Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01S
BenQ ZOWIE EC3-C
The Vaxee ZYGEN NP-01S and the BenQ ZOWIE EC3-C are both wired gaming mice with similar right-handed shapes. They're about the same size and weight, but the BenQ feels a bit more sturdy. Also, the BenQ's cable has an angled mouse end to help prevent drag. On the other hand, the Vaxee has better quality mouse feet and lower click latency. Both mice are suitable for most hand sizes using any grip type, but the Vaxee is more suitable for small hands using a fingertip grip.
