Kind of reluctant it's a new zowie mouse myself and that this is a modded mouse. That rear says ZA for sure.

Would be interesting to see a white mouse with 3360 sensor from BenQ Zowie. If this wasn't planned maybe it could be now?

Haven't some pros had custom silver Zowie mice before?

For like a year or two Virtus Pro have had custom made Zowie mice for their entire team. Coldzera wanted one too, so they made him a ZA12. Since VP and SK switched sponsors I don't think they use them anymore, but I thought I saw Coldzera using it at home.

Simple used a SteelSeries mouse before he was forced to use Razer. Now he is on Na'Vi, they are sponsored by Zowie/BenQ.

Long before there were custom Zowie mice for pros, Zowie made them mouse pads with their names on it.

There was no 3988, 3366 or 3360 mouse being planned/made when VP and Coldzera had their custom mice. It's safe to say that the custom ZA for Simple isn't an indicator of a 3360 Zowie being released soon, just as it wasn't with VP and Coldzera. Also, it would be stupid to release a 3360 mouse without redesigning their entire range of products and making software.

BenQ bought Zowie to use as a brand for their gaming products. I doubt they intended to improve products like people want. Heck, they could have bought Zowie as a favor for the owner of Zowie Gear.

yeah they totally would. Also I'm not an expert but Im pretty sure it's no trivial task to add a glossy shell option. so that in itself hints at a new lineup. That or it's for pro use only and I will assume the fetal position and cry a lot.

He uses a special glossy FK2? Really dig the color scheme.

it looks like a intellimouse 3.0 but with a red scroll wheel? never seen that anyone any idea?
its silver on top but the shape is not a sensei.

Anyone any idea I cant stand it that I dont know wich mouse it is.

you can also check the footage at youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGw_sVHU9rk at 16:57 you can see the mouse.

Seeing the color of red my bet its a zowie mouse but have not seen any with a silver coating yet...

Snax -> Silver FK2 I posted a while back, Flamie has Silver Rival, and Taz/Neo both have Silver w/ black side EC1/EC2s, anyone know if general public will get a chance to buy these silver versions?

Zowie stopped making glossy mice because of the expense.

So no one likes to read posts that go against their assumptions/hopes?

Maybe they fixed the thumb buttons?
It's not like they really need to change a thing with the EC2-A besides the sensor and thumb buttons, at least not for me to buy a new one anyway.

I don't think it would be the best idea to keep the old design when Logitech is trying to make better products than Zowie, Razer and SteelSeries.

What is wrong with the current/old EC2-A design though?
Compared to the G403, the main things it does worse is thumb buttons and the older 3310 sensor.

I don't see the need to try to reinvent the mouse entirely, just improve on the number of weaknesses.
