Who each one is for
Buy the BenQ Zowie S2 for competitive FPS players who want a driverless, no-RGB mouse and low to medium grip height players (fingertip/claw), though it is not built for players who want RGB or onboard profiles and buyers who want a high DPI ceiling for desktop use. The Cooler Master MM720 suits FPS players who want the lowest possible wired weight and claw and fingertip grip users wanting a small symmetrical shell, though it is the wrong buy for palm grip users wanting a fuller shell and anyone who wants a wireless connection. Our rating of the BenQ Zowie S2 (8/10): A no-frills esports mouse built for consistency over features, and a legitimate favorite among competitive CS and Valorant players. Our rating of the Cooler Master MM720 (8/10): one of the lightest wired mice on the market, backed by a genuinely flagship sensor rather than budget internals.
