Zowie’s FK1 has been around longer than water. But despite all its years in the game, it’s still trusted by pro players, particularly the CS:GO esports crowd. It faces stiff competition from disruptive rival manufacturers like Glorious who take a similar ambidextrous, intelliMouse style shape and modernize it by shaving weight, adding RGB and increasing software setting tweaking. But nearly a decade after the first model was released, it’s still worth consideration among shooter players.
Officially priced at $69 / £65, the FK1 can be picked up for considerably less if you’re willing to hunt around for a deal or buy a used model in good condition. And people do, because the RGB-free minimalist look, the simplicity of its ambidextrous layout and the body profile make it eminently usable. There’s just not much that can go wrong on this mouse, and every element performs well from switches to sensor.
