INTRODUCTION

   Last week we mentioned the latest game by Bungie called Destiny which finally hit consoles after a somewhat long beta period but we failed to mention that the PC version (if it ever comes to fruition) is not available yet. So i just wanted to clarify this cause some of you were confused and thought that we received a PC copy although we actually got a PS4 copy. I'm not really into consoles (others are however) however so i continue to test all gaming peripherals with the latest PC titles including the Star Citizen Beta, The Crew Beta, Planetside 2 and Dead Rising 3 (although this game is great it does like crashing to desktop very frequently). Currently i spend all my free time testing gaming mice and headsets (since i can do both at the same time thus it saves me a bit of time) and today i finally finished testing the latest gaming mouse by ZOWIE GEAR called the FK1.

   ZOWIE GEAR is an innovative manufacturer of competitive gaming gear, founded late 2008 with a mission to develop the best competitive gaming gear available. We are not limited by shareholders telling us what we can or cannot do. We are a free-minded company consisting of experienced and creative individuals, united in ZOWIE on a common ground; our passion for gaming. No boundaries. No compromises. Just gaming. ZOWIE GEAR has no ambition to become the biggest manufacturer of competitive gaming gear. We just want to be the best. If we can develop products that will increase a gamers performance by just 1%, we will do it. This is our mentality. It's not just a game. This is ZOWIE GEAR. Strive for Perfection.

   The FK1 is actually an all-around improved version of the older FK model featuring a larger shape (roughly 1mm taller, 4mm longer and 3mm wider) and the latest ADNS-3310 IR-LED optical sensor by Avago which offers the same zero hardware mouse acceleration feature we liked so much in the past from other similar solutions. Of course ZOWIE GEAR being a brand that caters to the needs of serious and professional E-Sport gamers (not fond of software control panels either) they limited the speed of the sensor to 3200DPI (400/800/1600/3200) but knowing a thing or two about their products this shouldn't matter much. ZOWIE GEAR didn't stop there however so they also improved the LOD (lift-off-distance) feature of the unit by reducing it to 1.5~1.8mm something which should appeal quite a bit to gamers (not so much to casual users). That being said I’m curious to see what ZOWIE GEAR has done with the latest FK1 so let's not spend any more time here.
