What will you mostly use it for?
The ZOOM64 has the clearer edge for gaming based on its listed Hall Effect feature and polling rate. The Zoom65 Lift Off has more distinct advantages for modding and content-focused setups, including its range of mounting systems and optional LCD module. The larger listed layout gives it a modest office and programming advantage, though preferences for compactness may change that choice. Both list the same three connection options, so travel is a close call.
