BenQ, under its gaming peripherals brand, Zowie, has just announced two new wireless gaming mice, the FK1-DW and the ZA12-DW, which are the brand's first gaming mice in several years to launch in larger sizes. The FK1-DW is a new large version of the FK-DW mouse shape, and the ZA12-DW is a medium version of the ZA-DW mouse. Both new mice are symmetrical shapes, but the FK1-DW has a lower hump and a shell designed specifically to allow more micro-adjustments, while the ZA12-DW has a higher hump placed slightly to the rear of the mouse. The ZA12-DW is meant to provide more palm support and reduce fatigue and discomfort. Availability is region-dependent at launch, with US availability starting in August on the official Zowie store and in September on Amazon. European gamers can start picking up the new Zowie mice by the end of July via Zowie directly or in September on Amazon, and Canadian buyers can look to Memory Express and Best Buy Canada in mid-September for retail availability.

Not much has been revealed about the internals of either the ZA12-DW or the FK1-DW, aside from a few key specs listed in the brief product description, which confirm both a 4K polling rate and the absence of any fancy magnetic switch tech, suggesting Zowie will likely continue using the typical Huano mechanical switches and likely either the PixArt PAW3950 or PAW3955 sensor. Both mice will also only be available in white with a matte coating at launch, and both the large FK1-DW and medium ZA12-DW will weigh in at 55 g. The FK1-DW measures 128.9 × 61.7 × 37.3 mm, while the ZA12-DW measures 125.8 × 41.4 × 61.7 mm. The new mice also come with the Enhanced Receiver, which doubles as a charging dock. The new shells also feature a revised design, with more angled side walls allowing for better grip for easier repositioning and lift-off.
