ZOWIE, BenQ’s professional Esports equipment brand, is pleased to announce the U2 wireless esports mouse with an all-new shape, developed through cutting-edge sports science research and development to meet the demands of competitive gamers. The U2 boasts a distinctive inward-curved design on both sides, catering to claw grippers who prioritise agility during multi-angle movements. Additionally, the U2 features an enhanced receiver for superior wireless signal stability and offers plug-and-play convenience. Its newly redesigned mouse feet ensure a glide experience reminiscent of other ZOWIE wired mice.
Sports Science in ZOWIE Mouse Design
At ZOWIE, each new shape undergoes meticulous research. Thorough qualitative interviews and usability tests on prototypes are conducted prior to each product launch. By leveraging sports science experiments, the team can evaluate various design proposals more objectively. ZOWIE believes that designs rooted in both qualitative and quantitative data empower our players to achieve higher levels of performance.
Enhanced User Experience for Agility and Stability
Featuring an inward-curved design on both sides, the U2 provides a stable grip during mouse lift. The U2’s left-side curved design, together with the overall curve of the back, reduces the thumb angle and supports a faster index finger click speed. The right-side curve facilitates easy placement of the ring finger, promoting balanced force exertion on both sides of the hand for improved stability during mouse movement. Through experimentation with various shapes and positions, the U2’s side buttons are ergonomically positioned for easier thumb access.
To enhance the wireless experience, the exclusive directional enhanced receiver increases the reception footprint towards the mouse which improves signal reception. A reduced range of reception at the back of the receiver can effectively minimise interference from signals originating in the rear. This minimises frame drops and stuttering stemming from wireless interference during gaming, and maintains stable high-quality transmission during wireless applications.
The U2 incorporates the now-proven 3395 sensor for long-term component stability. Additionally, we have enlarged the upper half of the Mouse Skatez to offer ZOWIE users a more familiar gliding experience.
Information regarding availability or relevant events in different regions will be shared on BenQ’s social media channels. For more information regarding U2, Type E Black, and Type E White, please check the ZOWIE website.
