The units that are potentially affected were manufactured before January 2022.

BenQ will service affected products free of charge.
Note: No other ZOWIE mouse models are part of this program.

We are still working on the availability of this new design. You need to register on the ZOWIE website for the replacement application first. We will inform all registered customers once a viable timeline becomes available.
A small percentage of new ZOWIE EC-C, FK-C, ZA-C, and S-C series mice are affected. Your mouse may work fine. However, if the risk of this issue developing in the future is a concern to you, we suggest that you register for a replacement now or sometime within your warranty period.
Since the mouse you ordered was in all likelihood manufactured before January 2022, it might be affected and covered by the service program. If the risk of this issue developing in the future is a concern to you, we suggest that you register for a replacement now or sometime within your warranty period.
We are still working on the availability of the revised design. Due to this, there is no available inventory with our official retail partners just yet. Our apologies on this.
For this program we will not be able to offer a refund on the mice. We will be replacing the mice with working replacements, or will be providing a coupon code as compensation. If you would like a refund and the product was ordered from a 3rd party retailer, please reach out to them for your refund options.

Your mouse will have its standard warranty period. If any issue appears within this window, please file for a replacement before the warranty expires to be eligible for any warranty claims. If you are outside of your warranty window, you will not be eligible for a replacement.
We cannot answer this as we are not able to speak for other companies. Most customers with ZOWIE C variant mice will have no issues whatsoever. However, the current fault rate is too high for our own standards and we have initiated this service program to resolve this.
We do not believe so, however we are not certain at this time. Our team is still analyzing the paracord cables and are comparing them to traditional cables to further improve our products and to understand why these failure rates appear higher on these models.
The replacement mice will have a new warranty. This warranty period will start when the replacement is sent out to you.
