BenQ Zowie S2 vs Logitech G303 Shroud Edition: the weight difference

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. Take the Logitech G303 Shroud Edition for FPS players who want Logitech's highest-DPI sensor paired with hybrid optical-mechanical switches. This mouse's sensor and switch combination is a specific step up from the standard Superlight lineup. Avoid it for buyers who don't need the absolute highest DPI ceiling. The Logitech G Pro X Superlight, covered elsewhere on this site, offers a lower-cost alternative with a still-capable sensor. 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.
