Zowie are a fairly young company still, having only set up in 2008. They aren’t trying to shift Razer level volume either, they state explicitly that they do not wish to be the biggest peripheral manufacturer; so what is their goal? Perfection is what they claim it to be, and if the hype of consumers and professional gamers alike is to believed they are getting pretty damn close.

As a privately held company they claim they are all about the product rather than pleasing shareholders with good numbers, and it shows because they don’t crap out 9 million dpi laser mice with flashing lights; they put out exactly what the elite gamers and enthusiasts want, dependable mice with the best sensors on the market.

That brings us on to the subject of today’s review, the FK1. The FK1 is a response to customer feedback that they wanted a slightly larger FK style body, and also that they wanted a mouse that featured an Avago 3310 optical sensor. So already Zowie are giving the people what they asked for, but that doesn’t automatically mean they’re on to a winner; which is why we are here to test it today.
