BenQ Zowie ZA13-C vs Logitech G604 LIGHTSPEED: which one fits your build
Buy the BenQ Zowie ZA13-C for palm grip players with medium to large hands and competitive FPS players who prefer a driverless mouse, though it is not built for fingertip or claw grip players wanting a smaller shell and buyers who want RGB or onboard memory. Take the Logitech G604 LIGHTSPEED for MMO players and productivity users who want the maximum number of programmable buttons in a wireless mouse. This mouse's 15-button layout directly serves that need. It is the wrong buy for FPS or competitive esports players who want a lightweight, low-button-count shape. The Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED, covered elsewhere on this site, better serves that simpler use case.
