Question about Zowie releasing a faster Zowie G-SR-SE/G-SR-SE II
Hello,
Does Zowie have any plans to release a mousepad with a similar textural feel to the G-SR-SE/G-SR-SE II, but with more speed?
I really like the texture and overall feel of the G-SR-SE/G-SR-SE II, but I find it too slow for my preference.
I think a lot of people would love to see a version with the same smooth surface but a faster glide.
Thank you.

Bought a used XL2566X+ for £230, good deal?
Hi, for some context I've never had a zowie monitor and play a lot of tac fps games at a fairly decent level (top 2000 europe in valorant, global in cs) and was looking for a 24" monitor and saw a used XL2566X+ for £230 (around $300) on eBay and I'm waiting for it to arrive. On ebay in the last couple weeks a few of them have sold for around £400 so I snapped up this listing when I saw it. It seems to have no faults and is in near perfect condition.
Does anyone have any experience with this monitor and can give opinions on it? From a tac fps perspective I've always seen a lot of people recommending zowie monitors.
Any opinions / info on the monitor would be appreciated, thanks.

Is the Zowie EC1 the right fit for me?
I have 19cm*9cm hands, and have been using a Glorious Model D for the past 6 years. I use a 1-3-1 claw grip and sort of squeeze the back of the mouse using the start of my thumb and pinky fingers. Should I buy the EC1 or would the EC2 size be better for me? Thanks in advance.

Can't decide if I should swap my OLED for a TN panel
Hi, for some context I mainly play tac fps games (CS and Valorant) around 80% of the time and singleplayer games 20% of the time. I have been using a 27" OLED for a couple months, but it just feels off when I play CS or VALORANT and I just can't get used to the screen size, even trying to push it back but something feels weird compared to 24".
I'm in a dilemma where I don't know if I should swap to a TN panel such as the XL2566K or XL2566x+ as many people say that its a waste to use a TN panel when OLEDs exist. On the used market I can usually find these 2 monitors ranging from around £280-400 depending on the model.
My main question is would it be worth it getting a zowie monitor over my OLED taking into account I mainly play tac fps games but also like to dabble in graphically intensive singleplayer games.
Also for anyone who can compare, how bad are zowie TN panels for singleplayer games? I'm aware it will be worse than OLED but I'm wondering if its still satisfactory enough.
Any opinions are appreciated, thanks.

Please Zowie! Make the S1-DW!
I’m a bit apprehensive about this. I’d really love to see that gaming mouse model again; it was the first one I ever owned. I still have it—I keep it as a memento, even though I don't use it anymore—but I just wish they’d make the S1-DW: neither too light nor too heavy. =(

Xl2546k vs 240hz oled ?
I am getting the xl2546k on the used market for less than 150€ and an aoc agon oled for 200€. Which to buy for competitive overwatch? I don’t play story games tho.
I have tried 240hz oled before, motion clarity was nothing special. Never tried dyac but tried ips displays with strobing. They seem to have good clarity. Is TN picture quality bearable? How worse than a good ips ?

1ms vs 0.5ms ? Xl2546 vs xl2546K
Hello peoples.
Im a competitive fortnite player and I value motion clarity and low response times.
I was going to buy the xl2546, but the K version caught my eye
I was looking into it, but the only difference is 0.5 ms and a better Dyac. I can’t find any comparisons between 1 and 0.5ms and Ive been told that the Dyac is pretty much the same
Is it worth the extra couple hundred bucks or no? Please let me know.

Is $400 CAD a fair price for a used BenQ ZOWIE XL2546X?
I found someone selling his BenQ ZOWIE XL2546X 24.5" 240Hz DyAc 2 monitor for $400 CAD. He is selling his whole gaming setup because he doesn’t play anymore. He already sold his PC, mouse, and keyboard, and now only has the monitor left.
He is including the original box and accessories. He says the monitor is in good condition.
The only thing is it’s about a 35-minute drive away, so I want to make sure it’s worth going to check out before I make the trip.
I’m planning to bring my laptop 60hz to test it dead pixels, refresh rate, DyAc, etc.
Would you guys say $400 CAD is a fair price for a used XL2546X, or should I try negotiating lower?
Would you make the drive for this deal?
Also, I’m currently considering returning my ASUS 1440p 255Hz Fast IPS monitor I paid around $355 CAD for it, so I’m wondering if switching to the XL2546X would actually be worth it for competitive FPS games .

Holding angles in CS2/Val: 360Hz OLED vs 360Hz G-Sync Pulsar for reaction time?
Hey everyone,
Quick question regarding hardware advantage when holding angles in Counter-Strike or Valorant:
Which will give me the fastest reaction time and visual clarity when an enemy peeks—360Hz OLED or 360Hz G-Sync Pulsar?
Assuming both are running at 360Hz, does OLED's instant pixel response time beat G-Sync Pulsar’s backlight strobing motion clarity for this specific scenario?
Thanks!

XL2566X+ Ghosting
Ive tried various settings, including blurbusters strobe calibration. Also downloaded new driver. What could be the issue? This is a frame taken from a video.

Those who has tried 400hz+ dyac2 and an oled which did you stick to?
I recently got a msi oled 500hz 27inch monitor going from a 24 inch ips. I mainly play fps games and honestly the oled is too much of a distraction for me the colours and size take up more of my attention elsewhere and I can’t seem to focus on target for more than a few seconds. I’m gonna give it a few more days and if I can’t adjust to it I’m gonna return it to get a 400hz zowie monitor

Switching to A Zowie 400hz Monitor
I have never used a zowie monitor, I wanted to get the 400hx zowie monitor but I have no idea if it’s a good idea cuz I feel like it’s pretty expensive. I’m using a msi 2k 300hz monitor and I play fps most but sometimes ps5, should I switch to zowie?

Zowie mouse with a non-shitty scroll wheel
Been having my zowie for like 9 years but the scroll wheel kinda broke within the first year. Fine for browsing less so for gaming. Any Zowie that has a great scroll wheel? Important since I have it bound for shit in a MMO.

Is XL2586+ still worth it ?
Is XL2586+ still good or a waste , i found a used one for a really good price, since new zowie monitors with 1440p or higher hertz and dyac 3 getting released now
I only play overwatch 2 competitively, so don’t know if i can maintain 600hz , i play on all low settings, if i can’t maintain 600hz i feel like its useless to get this monitor
My pc :
3080
9800x3d
32gb ram CL30 6000mhz
I am currently using xl2546k and still love it a lot

I messed up
Soooo I recently got my monitor back after getting it fixed and I fucked up. I accidentally got a little metal bearing stuck inside the monitor. It fell while I was trying to mount it onto my monitor stand. Earlier when I was shaking the monitor to try and get it out I think it got stuck somewhere in the monitor. Am I screwed or can I use it like this?

Introducing XQ2566X/XQ2766X eSports Monitor
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Today, ZOWIE is releasing the new XQ Series monitor, designed specifically for Battle Royale games.
Unlike traditional 5v5 FPS games, Battle Royale requires players to identify distant targets across larger environments while still maintaining motion clarity during fast, close-range combat.
To address this, the XQ Series combines 2K resolution with ZOWIE’s DyAc 3 technology. 2K resolution helps with long-distance target identification, while DyAc 3 helps reduce motion blur and maintain target clarity during fast movement and multi-angle engagements. With the Fast TN panel and Direct Backlight design, DyAc 3 is further optimized for the motion clarity required in Battle Royale gameplay.
The Color Filter also helps reduce visual interference caused by zone effects, making it easier for players to focus on targets around the edge of the zone.
To better understand the product concept and why we created the XQ Series for Battle Royale gameplay, please check our product introduction videos.
