Zowie EC1-A vs Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0

[Rom Hook]

How do these mice compare to each other? I don't play a lot of competitive FPS games so the sensor precision is a nice plus, but not essential. I'm interested in how the mouse clicks feel, the side buttons placement and travel distance etc. I've read somewhere that the EC1-A scroll wheel is hard to press down and the scroll steps are stiff, which doesn't sound great.

I don't know how you can compare the two, the MS Intellimouse is about a 10 year old mouse that was 1/3rd the cost of the Zowie mouse when it was new.

Seems the Zowie has build quality issues, at least from the reviews. Spending well over $100 on a mouse unless you are a pro gamer is a bit silly.

Take a look at this https://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Rival-Optical-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B0160USMW6/ref=pd_lpo_147_lp_img_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=32JE4AE2579HYGVV739R about the same shape, 1/4th the cost.

Zowie's price seams unjustifiable so I'll probably stay away from it. Thankfully there are other mice with a similar shape. Thanks for suggestion!
