EpicGear ZorA Optical Gaming Mouse Review

Final Thoughts

Price

The EpicGear ZorA isn’t in stock in a lot of places right now, but the brand is steadily improving this. We found it in stock in the UK where EpicGear ships from Germany via Amazon for a very reasonable £47.24 with free shipping.

Overview

The EpicGear ZorA is a well-rounded product, offering a good range of features for a decent price, but it’s still priced awfully close to some very strong competitors. However, EpicGear has gone a little extra distance to give you added value for money. The sensor on the ZorA is pretty good, and you can get better sensor-equipped mice for the same money, albeit with a lot less features. For your investment, you get excellent build quality, fully programmable buttons, and a very welcome weight tuning system that certainly add value.

The design stands out, this is clearly a gaming mouse and it’s certainly up to that task. The ergonomics are great to hold and use for work and long gaming sessions without any issue and those hard-wearing rubber grips mean you’re unlikely to lose control mid-game anytime soon. Added bonuses like the braided cable and LED lighting certainly add to the visual appeal too, and you would be happy to show this off if someone saw it on your desktop.

Overall, I can’t really fault this mouse. If I could make one minor improvement it would be to make the weight tuning system a little easier to work with, as I had to reach for a knife to pick out the weights as I simply couldn’t do it with my fingers; it’s not a deal-breaker, but it’s something that could have been done better.

The software packs all the features you could need, and the macro engine is especially good. Being able to customise the mouse with configs, macros and sensor configurations over five on-board profiles makes it very tournament friendly, making it a tempting option for those looking for a mid-budget competitive gaming mouse.

Pros

• Stylish gaming aesthetics
• Durable build quality
• Weight tuning system
• Good sensor (respective of price range)
• Good configuration options via software
• On-board memory

Cons

• Can be tricky to remove weights

Neutral

• Very mild angle-snapping at high-DPI in testing, couldn’t notice it in gaming tests

“The EpicGear Zora looks stylish, feels great in the palm of your hand and packs more than enough features to keep your gaming in check. It’s not perfect, but for this price range, it’s certainly competitive and worthy of a spot on your desktop.”
