BenQ ZOWIE S1

The BenQ ZOWIE S1 is good for FPS gaming. It feels well-built and has a comfortable design that's well-suited for all hand sizes using a palm grip. However, those with smaller hands may have difficulty reaching all buttons using a claw or fingertip grip. It also has good click latency, though some gamers may prefer a more responsive-feeling option. Unfortunately, its cable isn't very flexible, and since there's no companion software for customization, there are only four default CPI presets.
