Mousepad
shox plays on the ZOWIE G-TR, in use since November 2025. It is a cloth pad with stitched edges and a 3.5 mm thickness.
The numbers describe a slow surface. Overall glide is rated Control, static friction is Very High and dynamic friction is High. The foam is Soft. Glide difference between the X and Y axes is 15.8%.
In practice, the mouse needs more force to start moving and stops quickly. The 47 x 39 cm surface is the space available for it.

Mouse settings
In CS2, shox plays at 400 DPI with an in-game sensitivity of 2. That gives an eDPI of 800 and 52.0 cm/360.
The mouse is set to 1000 Hz. The S2-DW Black's sensor supports polling up to 4000 Hz, so the setting sits below the maximum the hardware offers.
Zoom sensitivity is 1 and Windows sensitivity is 5.

Should you buy shox's mouse?
The ZOWIE S2-DW Black is a wireless ambidextrous mouse. It is 12.0 cm long, 6.4 cm wide and 3.8 cm high, and weighs 65 g. The shape is symmetrical, so it suits players who want a mouse without a left or right bias. Its sensor is the PAW3950, and it uses Huano button switches.
Among the three alternatives, it is the heaviest. Height is level with the Pulsar X2 and the Endgame Gear XM2we.
- Logitech G Pro X2 SUPERSTRIKE Lunar Eclipse: 4 g lighter, 0.2 cm shorter, 0.2 cm narrower and 0.1 cm taller. It is also the shortest and narrowest mouse of the four compared. It polls up to 8000 Hz, and 40 pros use it now.
- Pulsar X2: 9 g lighter, same length and height, 0.1 cm narrower. It is the lightest of the four at 56 g. Polling is 1000 Hz.
- Endgame Gear XM2we: 2 g lighter, 0.2 cm longer and 0.2 cm wider, same height. It is the longest and widest of the four.
The trade-off is weight against dimensions. The Pulsar X2 gives up nothing in length or height and saves the most weight. The XM2we is the larger option. The G Pro X2 SUPERSTRIKE is the most compact in length and width.
