ZOWIE GEAR ZOWIE AM-GS Mouse

Shape Because shape is one of the most important factors when choosing a competitive gaming mouse the ZOWIE AM has been built as a versatile mouse which can be easily adapted to the users? preference to either left or righthanded use. In an effort to offer users of ambidextrous mice lefthanded users especially a higher level of comfort when playing the ZOWIE AM features two buttons on each side ? but only one side can be active at a time meaning that the users has to define either left or righthanded usage. Just as with the Hzchanger on the ECseries there are no drivers or software ? the switch is made directly on the mouse and the mouse will remember the setting. From the feedback we have received from researching about ambidextrous mice we can understand that one of the most annoying features is that these mice almost always have functional buttons on both sides making it easy to accidently hit the wrong button with your palm or pinky finger. Some users don?t see this as a problem but instead they think it?s annoying that there?s only one button on the side they actually use. This is not suitable for competitive gamers so it is something we are looking to eliminate. For those of you who prefer functional buttons on both sides ? this mouse is not for you. Performance When it comes to performance there is no doubt in our mind that optical is still the best choice. Even though it does not offer the same DPIvalues as laser the optical sensor has proven itself worthy of competitive gaming through its everlasting stability and trustworthy functionality. However one thing that can split the waters is the question of prediction or no prediction ? some like it some don?t and SpawN insisted that his mouse should be without it. The ADNS3090 is the best predictionfree optical sensor available at this time so we decided to fix the issues it has and use it in the ZOWIE AM. The ADNS3090 is the most stable and functional optical sensor on the market but it has a problem with liftoff distance which is up to 35 mm. This is not suitable for competitive gaming. Other manufacturers have looked for fast solutions trying to hack the sensor but this has resulted in instability of the cursor instead ? not suitable either. Unfortunately there are very rarely any easy fixes when it comes to optimizing a product and making it ideal for competitive gaming so we have gone the hard way to develop a custom lens which would function flawlessly with the ADNS3090 as we did with the ADNS3060 in the ECseries. It has taken a lot of time and effort but we have finally succeeded in creating the exact combination necessary for a low liftoff distance 15 mm while maintaining flawless performance. Improved mousewheel The mousewheel in the ZOWIE AM is the same as the one used in the ZOWIE ECseries. Developed using an optical encoder instead of the traditional mechanical system the mousewheel has proven to be extremely durable. We expect the lifespan of the mousewheel to be more than five years.
