Cooler Master MM720 vs Zowie EC2-C: which one fits your build

The Zowie EC2-C is the one to take for right-handed palm-claw grip esports players and fans of the classic EC2 shape wanting a coated finish, though it is not built for left-handed users and buyers wanting RGB or onboard memory profiles. 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. Our rating of the Zowie EC2-C (8/10): A trusted esports shape with no gimmicks, buy it for the coating preference, not for new features.
