Setup
1. Connecting the Mouse
The Zowie U2 mouse offers two connection methods: via the Enhanced Wireless Receiver (charging dock) or a standard USB Wireless Receiver dongle.
Using the Enhanced Wireless Receiver (Recommended)
- Connect the USB-C to USB-A cable to the Enhanced Wireless Receiver and then to an available USB-A port on your computer.
- Place the Zowie U2 mouse onto the charging contacts of the Enhanced Wireless Receiver. The receiver also acts as the primary wireless connection point, providing a stable signal.
Using the Standard USB Wireless Receiver
- Insert the standard USB Wireless Receiver dongle into an available USB-A port on your computer.
- The mouse is plug-and-play and does not require additional drivers.
2. Initial Charge

Operating the Mouse
Ergonomic Design for Performance
The U2 mouse features an inward-curved design on both sides, promoting agility and stability during multi-angle movements, particularly beneficial for claw-grip users. The left-side curve and overall back shape reduce thumb angle, supporting faster index finger click speeds. The side buttons are positioned for easier thumb access.
Adjusting Settings (Driverless)
The Zowie U2 mouse allows for on-the-fly adjustments without the need for software drivers. Settings such as DPI, polling rate, lift-off distance, and click response time can be configured directly on the mouse.
Refer to the included quick start guide for detailed instructions on how to change these settings using the physical buttons on the mouse.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BenQ Zowie U2 Wireless Gaming Mouse, follow these maintenance guidelines:

- Battery Care: While the mouse has a 70-hour battery life, avoid completely draining the battery frequently. Charge it regularly using the provided dock or cable.
