With a sturdy build quality, reliable sensor, low click-latency, and comfortable ambidextrous shape, suitable for palm and claw grips, the BenQ Zowie FK1 effectively provides excellent gaming performance.
And its driverless plug-and-play approach keeps things simple. Latency was tested at just 9 ms, meaning the delay between click and command is hardly noticeable.
However, the mouse falls short in design customization options, given it lacks companion software and comes with only four presets, meaning those looking for robust customizability may be disappointed.
There are also some physical deficiencies, such as a scroll wheel that doesn’t unlock for free scrolling and a stiff rubber cord. But despite these limitations, it performs well and caters to FPS games, MMOs, and macro-intensive work.
