I was disappointed in all 3 Zowie mice i have owned. The only thing exceptional about them is there cords, weight, and lack of software. The buttons are sub-par (stiff and not very responsive) and the coatings are not very durable. The coatings on there newer mice also make my hand sweat and feel disgustingly sticky. They have the worst scroll wheel of any high end mouse i have used.

It is a surprisingly good palm grip mouse after some weight reduction (i took a dremel to the inner shell and ripped the LEDs out of mine). Probably the only good thing Razer has ever made.

DO NOT get the Chroma. It uses different firmware.

As a KPM user it is a BRILLIANT mouse if you like the shape. Excellent for claw and fingertip grip. Wouldn't suggest for large hand palm grip. Best scroll wheel of any mouse i have used by far, 2nd best buttons, 2nd best coating, best sensor (with newest firmware it's 3310 implementation is the best i know of), and a passable cord.

8/10
Some people get sensor rattling but it is a easy fix if your has it and mine didn't have it.

As someone who has owned multiple Zowie mice, they are HIGHLY overrated in my experience. The switches are stiff and the build quality is sub-par.
Nice cords though.

Play fascist games win fascist prizes.
Good luck to them.

Still seems like a waste of

the TF2 team can ill afford.

Why do they keep wasting time with this game mode nobody plays and nobody will ever play?

The combination of a high pressure position (i feel like if i don't perform at my best at all times i am crippling my team more so than on any other position) with lots of heals makes you feel both powerful and helpless leading to extreme highs where you feel like an amazing player and other situations where you feel like total shit. The heals you get also make you less aware of your team's overall health situation often leaving you confused as to why nobody followed up on the fuckload of damage you just did when you where really just over extending and unaware of your team's situation. Also while playing gunboats pocket scouts are literally Satan.

Pocket soldier syndrome is a thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pretty much this. I felt like a god in open and moving into IM is forcing my to change how i play entirely. Last season was a good reality check that i was desperately in need of. Yeah i put out good stats but stats don't mean shit if your team dies behind you because of your own tunnel vision.

Identity politics are cancer.

Don't know when it was last updated.

A LOT of stuff broken. Would greatly appreciate it if someone could get it in working order.

"You must be at least steel level"

I need something that allows NEW players.

I am looking for a low level pug group i can bring my friend into. I have played some of the comp beta with him and took him to newbie mixs so he knows the basics of the game at least. I need to get him some real experience so he can look for a team next season.

Several other people where there including me. It was blatant AF. Headshot me without even turning around more than once.
