corsayeah, some people don't like the shape/coating of the dm1 pro s, but it's my favorite mouse, especially in terms of shape and coating. I like the rubberized (or you have an option for glossy) finish, because I can play with it all day and it always feels the same for me. A problem I had with any of zowies is that they would actually make my hand sweat, and after warming up for a while, going into scrims/matches, the mouse would feel different. It's different for everyone though, and some people like this because it provides more grip.
for reference: i've tried a deathadder, ec2a, za12, and dm1 only.
Strange - I have the reverse thing with Zowie and DM1 pro s. Are you using Zowie (yellow/white label) or Zowie by BENQ (newer - red label) because I have a benq ec2-a and it feels kinda glossy
