Zowie EC2-C (Wired/Right-Handed Ergonomic/90g/3360 Sensor up to 3,200 DPI/1000Hz/Driverless/Mechanical Switches/No RGB) Review
The EC2-C is a coated-shell variant of Zowie's EC2, keeping the same ergonomic shape and driverless PMW3360 sensor but swapping the matte finish for a glossy, low-friction coating.
Zowie's EC2-C exists purely for players who prefer the feel of a coated shell over the standard matte EC2 — same mold, same sensor tuning, same total lack of RGB or onboard memory profiles, because Zowie has never chased feature checklists over consistency. It ships plug-and-play with fixed native DPI steps rather than software-adjustable sensitivity.
Who It's Built For
Right-handed palm-claw players who want the exact EC2 shape in a glossier, lower-friction shell coating.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against the Zowie EC2 already in this catalog, the EC2-C is functionally identical apart from shell coating and finish, so the choice comes down purely to grip feel. Compared to the Zowie EC3-C in this catalog, the EC2-C uses the older, slightly larger EC2 mold rather than EC3's revised shape.
